Target lemma: way
Target surface form: way
Context:
Then the man he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word. Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his truck. Haney hadn't given it much thought at the time. Now he recalled it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off. It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word. When the light went their <t>way</t>, they went on across the street. And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "went on" (lemma: go_on).
Context: "When the light went their way, they went on across the street."
This means they continued moving forward across the street.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. continue a certain state, condition, or activity (continue, proceed, go along, keep)
2. come to pass (happen, hap, pass off, occur, pass, fall out)
3. move forward, also in the metaphorical sense (advance, progress, pass on, move on, march on)
4. continue talking
5. start running, functioning, or operating

"went on across the street" implies moving forward, advancing, progressing.
Sense 3: move forward, also in the metaphorical sense. Synonyms: advance, progress, pass on, move on, march on.
Wait, let's consider Sense 1: continue a certain state, condition, or activity.
But "went on across the street" is physical movement. "move forward" fits perfectly.
Let's check the examples for Sense 3: "Time marches on".
Is there a better fit?
"they went on across the street" -> they moved forward across the street.
Sense 3: move forward, also in the metaphorical sense.
Let's re-read Sense 1: continue a certain state, condition, or activity.
Sense 3: move forward, also in the metaphorical sense.
"went on across the street" -> they advanced/moved on across the street.
Yes, Sense 3 is the best fit for physical movement forward.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: advance, progress, pass on, move on, march on.
"went on" = "moved on" or "advanced".
Let's check if there is a specific sense for "continue moving".
"go_on%2:38:00::" is "move forward, also in the metaphorical sense".
"go_on%2:42:00::" is "continue a certain state, condition, or activity".
In the context, "they went on across the street" means they continued their journey, moving forward.
I will choose Sense 3.
Wait, let's double check. "went on across the street" -> they proceeded across the street.
Is "proceed" in Sense 1? Yes, "continue, proceed, go along, keep".
But "move forward" (Sense 3) is more specific to physical movement like "across the street".
Let's see: "advance, progress, pass on, move on, march on".
"went on" in "went on across the street" means they moved forward.
I'll go with 3.
Wait, could it be 1? "continue a certain state, condition, or activity". The activity is walking.
But "move forward" is exactly "go on" in a spatial sense.
Let's choose 3.
Let's review the context: "When the light went their way, they went on across the street."
They moved forward across the street.
Sense 3: move forward, also in the metaphorical sense.
I am confident in 3.

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "When the light went their way, they went on across the <t>street</t>."
The target word is "street".
The action is "went on across the street".
This refers to the physical part of the thoroughfare that they are crossing, likely the part where vehicles travel, or the thoroughfare itself.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a thoroughfare (usually including sidewalks) that is lined with buildings
2. the part of a thoroughfare between the sidewalks; the part of the thoroughfare on which vehicles travel (e.g., "be careful crossing the street")
3. the streets of a city viewed as a depressed environment...
4. a situation offering opportunities
5. people living or working on the same street

"crossing the street" is explicitly the example for sense 2: "be careful crossing the street".
The context says "went on across the street". This perfectly matches sense 2.
Let's double check.
"went on across the street" -> crossing the street.
Sense 2: "the part of a thoroughfare between the sidewalks; the part of the thoroughfare on which vehicles travel"
Example: "be careful crossing the street"
This is a perfect match.
I will return {"sense_index": 2}.

The stranger is someone Phil doesn't know, an individual that one is not acquainted with.
Sense 1: anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found (alien, unknown).
Sense 2: an individual that one is not acquainted with.
The context implies a person Phil is not acquainted with, not necessarily an alien or someone who doesn't belong in the environment.
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "stranger" in this context refers to a person Phil doesn't know.
Sense 2: an individual that one is not acquainted with.
Matches perfectly.

Context:
Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his truck. Haney hadn't given it much thought at the time. Now he recalled it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off. It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word.

And when the stranger <t>found out</t> that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them.

Candidate senses:

reasoning_content:
The target word is "found out" (lemma: find_out).
Context: "And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them."
The stranger got to know or became aware of the fact that Phil was going to a bar.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study (determine, find, ascertain)
2. get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally (learn, hear, get word, get wind, pick up, get a line)
3. find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort (determine, check, see, ascertain, watch, learn)
4. trap; especially in an error or in a reprehensible act (catch out)

Wait, "found out" in this context: "when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars". This is getting to know or becoming aware of something.
Is it sense 2 or sense 3?
Sense 2: get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally. Synonyms: learn, hear, get word, get wind, pick up, get a line.
Sense 3: find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort. Synonyms: determine, check, see, ascertain, watch, learn.

In the context, the stranger probably just learned or heard that Phil was on the way to a bar. "found out" here means "learned" or "became aware of".
Let's check the examples for sense 2: "I learned that she has two grown-up children; I see that you have been promoted".
Examples for sense 3: "I want to see whether she speaks French; See whether it works".
The stranger "found out" (learned) that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars. This is a simple acquisition of knowledge, likely through conversation (since they are walking together or talking).
"get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally" fits "learned" or "heard".
Wait, sense 2 is "get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally".
Sense 3 is "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort".
Did the stranger make an inquiry? "when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way..." It could be just learning it.
Let's consider "learn" as a synonym. Both have "learn".
But "found out" in the sense of "learned" is often sense 2.
Let's look at the synonyms for sense 2: learn, hear, get word, get wind, pick up, get a line.
Synonyms for sense 3: determine, check, see, ascertain, watch, learn.
"found out" in this context is just "learned". "When the stranger learned that Phil was on the way..."
Is it sense 2? Yes, "get to know or become aware of".
Let's re-read the context: "And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them."
This is a casual discovery, likely through conversation. "learn" or "hear" fits perfectly.
Sense 2: get to know or become aware of, usually accidentally.
Sense 3: find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort.
I will go with sense 2.
Wait, let's think if "find out" here implies an inquiry. "When the stranger found out..." No, it's just "learned".
Let's choose 2.
Let's double check.
"found out" -> learn, hear.
Yes, sense 2.

The target word is "favorite" modifying "bars" (and later "grudges").
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)

In the context, "his favorite bars" means the bars he prefers above all others. It is not about appealing to the general public.
Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"his favorite bars" -> preferred above all others.
Sense 2: preferred above all others and treated with partiality.
Yes, Sense 2.

2. sense_key=insist%2:32:03:: | definition=beg persistently and urgently | synonyms=importune | examples=I importune you to help them
3. sense_key=insist%2:31:00:: | definition=assert to be true | synonyms=assert | examples=The letter asserts a free society

In the context, the stranger "insisted on offering to buy drinks". This means he was emphatic or resolute and refused to budge (he wouldn't take no for an answer, he was firm in his offer).
Wait, "insist on" doing something usually means being resolute and refusing to budge.
Let's check sense 1: "be emphatic or resolute and refuse to budge". Example: "I must insist!"
Sense 2: "beg persistently and urgently". Example: "I importune you to help them".
Sense 3: "assert to be true".

Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"insisted on offering to buy drinks" -> he was resolute in his offer, he wouldn't take no for an answer. This aligns with "be emphatic or resolute and refuse to budge".
Let's consider "insist on" + gerund. "He insisted on paying." This is sense 1.
Sense 1: be emphatic or resolute and refuse to budge.
Sense 2: beg persistently and urgently. (importune)
Sense 3: assert to be true.

Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "insisted on offering to buy drinks" -> he was resolute.
Yes, sense 1.

No, "The object sat in the corner" is an example of "sit" meaning "be around, often idly or without specific purpose"? No, an object cannot be "idly".
Wait, let's carefully read the prompt's candidate senses:
2. sense_key=sit%2:42:00:: | definition=be around, often idly or without specific purpose | synonyms=sit around | examples=The object sat in the corner; We sat around chatting for another hour
Wait, is "The object sat in the corner" really an example for sense 2? Yes, the prompt says:
"2. sense_key=sit%2:42:00:: | definition=be around, often idly or without specific purpose | synonyms=sit around | examples=The object sat in the corner; We sat around chatting for another hour"
Wait, if the prompt says that, then "sitting in a corner" matches the example "The object sat in the corner" for sense 2!
Let me check if "The object sat in the corner" is actually an example for sense 2 in WordNet.
In WordNet, sit%2:42:00:: is "be around, often idly or without specific purpose". Examples: "The object sat in the corner"; "We sat around chatting for another hour".
Wait, no. "The object sat in the corner" might be an example for "sit" meaning "be located or situated somewhere"? No, "The White House sits on Pennsylvania Avenue" is sense 7.
Let's search my internal knowledge for WordNet "sit" examples.
sit%2:42:00:: "be around, often idly or without specific purpose". Examples: "The object sat in the corner"; "We sat around chatting for another hour".
Wait, is "The object sat in the corner" an example for "sit" meaning "be located"? No, "sit" meaning "be located" is sit%2:42:05:: (sense 7).
Let's check WordNet 3.1:
sit%2:42:00:: be around, often idly or without specific purpose
"The object sat in the corner"
"We sat around chatting for another hour"
Yes! "The object sat in the corner" is literally the first example for sense 2 in WordNet!
Therefore, "sitting in a corner" in the context "sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges" perfectly matches sense 2, because it uses the exact phrase "sat in the corner" which is the example for sense 2, and the context "passing the time" matches "idly or without specific purpose".

Let's double check.
Context: "Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges."
"sitting in a corner" -> matches example "The object sat in the corner" for sense 2.
"passing the time" -> matches "idly or without specific purpose" for sense 2.

Let's review the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=sit%2:35:00:: | definition=be seated | synonyms=sit down
2. sense_key=sit%2:42:00:: | definition=be around, often idly or without specific purpose | synonyms=sit around | examples=The object sat in the corner; We sat around chatting for another hour

If "The object sat in the corner" is the example for sense 2, then "sitting in a corner" is definitely sense 2.
Wait, let me make sure. Is "The object sat in the corner" an example for sense 2?
Yes, in WordNet, "sit" has a sense "be around, often idly or without specific purpose" with examples "The object sat in the corner" and "We sat around chatting for another hour".
So sense 2 is the best match.

Let's confirm the sense index.
Candidate 2 is sense 2.
I will return {"sense_index": 2}.
Context: "sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges."
This perfectly aligns with "be around, often idly or without specific purpose" (passing the time, nursing grudges).

Let's do a quick sanity check.
Is "sitting in a corner" sense 1? Sense 1 is "be seated". But the context emphasizes "passing the time", which is idleness. And the example for sense 2 explicitly contains "sat in the corner".
So sense 2 is the intended answer.
I will output {"sense_index": 2}.

"passing the time" refers to spending an indefinite period of time doing something (nursing his favorite grudges).
Sense 3: "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)" - examples: "he waited a long time; the time of year for planting".
Wait, sense 2: "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something" - examples: "take time to smell the roses; I didn't have time to finish".
Is "passing the time" sense 3 or sense 2?
Let's check WordNet for "pass the time".
"pass the time" -> spend time.
Sense 3: "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)".
Let's consider "passing the time".
In WordNet, "time" as in "pass the time" is often sense 3: "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)".
Wait, let's look at the synonyms or examples.
"he waited a long time"
"the time of year for planting"
"passing the time" -> spending an indefinite period.
Let's check sense 3.
Is there a better fit?
Sense 3: an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities).
"passing the time" -> spending an indefinite period.
Let's check sense 2: "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something". "take time to smell the roses".
"passing the time" is more about an indefinite period.
Let's search for "pass the time" in WordNet.
Actually, "pass the time" is a phrase. The noun "time" in "pass the time" is sense 3.
Let's review the options.
1. instance
2. resource
3. indefinite period
4. suitable moment
5. continuum
6. experience
7. clock time
8. fourth dimension
9. rhythm
10. prison term

"passing the time" -> spending an indefinite period.
I will choose sense 3.
Let's double check.
"passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges"
"an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)"
Yes, sense 3 fits perfectly.
Let's consider sense 2: "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something". "I didn't have time to finish".
"passing the time" is not really about a resource to accomplish something, but rather an indefinite period marked by an activity (nursing grudges).
Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.
Another option: sense 5 "the continuum of experience..." No.
Sense 3 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm the index.
3. sense_key=time%1:28:00:: | definition=an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)
I will output 3.

Now he recalled it very clearly, and wondered what the truck driver had seen in those eyes to make him back off. It must have been the sort of look that can call a bluff without saying a word.

And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them. Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges. But he decided he wouldn't <t>mind</t> company in return for free drinks, even though he made good money at his job. Phil was like that.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "company" in the context: "But he decided he wouldn't mind company in return for free drinks, even though he made good money at his job."
The context talks about Phil usually going alone and keeping to himself, but deciding he wouldn't mind "company" (someone to be with, companionship) in return for free drinks.
Sense 3: "the state of being with someone" (synonyms: companionship, fellowship, society). Examples: "he missed their company; he enjoyed the society of his friends".
This perfectly matches the context of Phil not minding having someone with him (the stranger) instead of being alone.
Let's double check other senses.
1. business institution - no.
2. military unit - no.
4. organization of performers - no.
5. a social or business visitor - "expected company" - no, here it's the state of being with someone.
6. social gathering - no.
7. band of people - no.
8. crew of a ship - no.
9. unit of firefighters - no.

Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.
Context: "he decided he wouldn't mind company in return for free drinks" -> he wouldn't mind the state of being with someone.
Matches sense 3.
