Target lemma: dog
Target surface form: dog
Context:
4:30 a.m. KIM: I got home, let the dogs into the house and noticed some sounds above my head, as if someone were walking on the roof, or upstairs. 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 <t>dog</t> 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.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "stood" (lemma: stand).
Context: "...and I scooted them into the dog run and stood in the doorway myself, watching the outside trash cans dance across the concrete."
The speaker is physically standing in the doorway.
Sense 1: "be standing; be upright" (synonyms: stand up, examples: We had to stand for the entire performance!)
Sense 3: "occupy a place or location, also metaphorically" (examples: We stand on common ground)
Sense 7: "remain inactive or immobile" (examples: standing water)

Let's look at Sense 1: "be standing; be upright". The context says "stood in the doorway myself". This is a physical action of being upright on one's feet.
Wait, let's check Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
"stood in the doorway myself" -> physical posture.
Sense 1: be standing; be upright.
Is there any other sense?
Sense 1 fits perfectly. "I stood in the doorway myself" means I was standing (upright) in the doorway.

Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=stand%2:35:00:: | definition=be standing; be upright | synonyms=stand up | examples=We had to stand for the entire performance!
3. sense_key=stand%2:42:03:: | definition=occupy a place or location, also metaphorically | examples=We stand on common ground

"stood in the doorway" is a physical posture. Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's double check. "I went and stood out in front of the house" -> also physical posture.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.
Another option: Sense 1 is "be standing; be upright".
Yes, "stood in the doorway" means to be in an upright position.
I will choose 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "watching" in the context: "I scooted them into the dog run and stood in the doorway myself, watching the outside trash cans dance across the concrete."
The person is looking attentively at the trash cans dancing across the concrete.
Let's evaluate the candidate senses:
1. watch%2:39:00:: look attentively (watch a basketball game)
2. watch%2:41:00:: follow with the eyes or the mind (observe, follow, watch over, keep an eye on)
3. watch%2:39:05:: see or watch (view, see, catch, take in)
4. watch%2:39:02:: observe with attention (look on)
5. watch%2:39:01:: be vigilant, be on the lookout or be careful (look out, watch out)
6. watch%2:39:03:: observe or determine by looking (Watch how the dog chases the cats away)
7. watch%2:32:09:: find out, learn, or determine with certainty (determine, check, find out, see, ascertain, learn)

In the context, the person is standing in the doorway, looking attentively at the trash cans dancing.
Sense 1: "look attentively" - fits well.
Sense 4: "observe with attention" - also fits well.
Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: watch a basketball game.
Sense 4: They watched as the murderer was executed.
"watching the outside trash cans dance across the concrete" is very similar to "They watched as the murderer was executed" (watching an event unfold).
Wait, "watch" as in "look attentively" (sense 1) vs "observe with attention" (sense 4).
Let's look at the synonyms. Sense 4 has "look on".
Sense 1 has no synonyms listed, just "look attentively".
Actually, "watch" in "watching the outside trash cans dance" is observing an event.
Let's consider "watch" meaning "look attentively" (1) vs "observe with attention" (4).
Is there a difference?
Sense 1: look attentively.
Sense 4: observe with attention.
Let's look at WordNet:
watch%2:39:00:: look attentively
watch%2:39:02:: observe with attention
Wait, "watch" in "watching the outside trash cans dance" -> "They watched as the murderer was executed" (Sense 4).
Let's check the exact WordNet definitions.
watch v.
1. look attentively; "watch a basketball game"
2. follow with the eyes or the mind; "Keep an eye on the baby, please!"; "The world is watching Sarajevo"
3. see or watch; "view a show on television"; "This program will be seen all over the world"
4. observe with attention; "They watched as the murderer was executed"
5. be vigilant, be on the lookout or be careful; "Watch out for pickpockets!"
6. observe or determine by looking; "Watch how the dog chases the cats away"

In the context, the person is standing in the doorway, watching the trash cans dance. This is observing an event with attention. "They watched as the murderer was executed" is a very close parallel to "watching the outside trash cans dance across the concrete". Both involve watching an ongoing event/action.
Therefore, sense 4 is the best fit.
Let's double check sense 1. "watch a basketball game" is also watching an event. But "observe with attention" (look on) fits "stood in the doorway myself, watching..." better. "Look on" is a synonym for sense 4. "Stood in the doorway myself, looking on as the outside trash cans danced..."
Yes, sense 4 is the most appropriate.
Let's review the context: "stood in the doorway myself, watching the outside trash cans dance across the concrete."
Synonym "look on" fits perfectly: "stood in the doorway myself, looking on as the outside trash cans danced..."
I will choose sense 4.
Wait, let's consider sense 1. "look attentively".
Is there any other sense?
Sense 4: observe with attention.
I'll go with 4.
Let's re-read carefully: "stood in the doorway myself, watching the outside trash cans dance across the concrete."
"observe with attention" -> "They watched as the murderer was executed".
This matches the structure "watching [object] [verb]".
I am confident in 4.

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

6. sense_key=realize%2:36:07:: | definition=expand or complete (a part in a piece of baroque music)

In the context: "When I realized it was over, I went and stood out in front of the house..."
The speaker became fully aware or cognizant of the fact that the event (earthquake) was over.
Sense 1: "be fully aware or cognizant of" (recognize, recognise, realise, agnize, agnise).
Sense 2: "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" (understand, realise, see).

Let's distinguish between 1 and 2.
Sense 1: be fully aware or cognizant of.
Sense 2: perceive (an idea or situation) mentally.

Wait, WordNet 3.1:
realize%2:31:01:: be fully aware or cognizant of
realize%2:31:00:: perceive (an idea or situation) mentally

In the context, "I realized it was over" -> I became fully aware that it was over.
Is it sense 1 or 2?
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "I recognized that he had a point" (maybe?)
Actually, "realize" meaning "become aware of" is often sense 1.
Let's see: "I realized what was happening" -> "I realized it was over".
Sense 1: be fully aware or cognizant of.
Sense 2: perceive (an idea or situation) mentally.

Let's look at similar sentences. "I realized it was over" -> I became aware of the fact.
Sense 1 is "be fully aware or cognizant of".
Sense 2 is "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally".

Wait, "realize" in the sense of "become aware of" is often mapped to sense 1 (realize%2:31:01::).
Let's check the synonyms:
Sense 1: recognize, recognise, realise, agnize, agnise
Sense 2: understand, realise, see

"I realized it was over" -> I recognized it was over.
"I realized what was happening" -> I recognized what was happening.
Sense 1 seems more appropriate for "become aware of a fact".
Let's consider "realize" as "become aware of".
WordNet:
realize v.
1. realize, recognise, recognize, agnize, agnise - be fully aware or cognizant of
2. realize, see, understand - perceive (an idea or situation) mentally; "Now I see!"; "I just can't see your point"

"I realized it was over" -> I became fully aware that it was over.
I will choose sense 1.
Let's double check. "I realized what was happening" -> "I recognized what was happening".
"When I realized it was over" -> "When I recognized it was over".
Yes, sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the context again. "I realized what was happening and screamed..."
"I realized it was over"
Both are "be fully aware or cognizant of".
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Another option: sense 2 "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally". But "it was over" is a fact, not just an idea or situation to be understood. "Recognize" fits better.
I'll go with 1.

KIM: I got home, let the dogs into the house and noticed some sounds above my head, as if someone were walking on the roof, or upstairs. 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 <t>went</t> 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.

The target word is "went" (lemma: go).
Context: "When I realized it was over, I went and stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to come home..."
The speaker moved from the doorway to stand out in front of the house.
This is a change of location, moving from one place to another.
Sense 1: change location; move, travel, or proceed, also metaphorically. Synonyms: travel, move, locomote.
Let's check the context: "I went and stood out in front of the house". This means "I moved to stand out in front of the house".
Sense 1 fits perfectly.
Let's double check other senses.
Sense 3: move away from a place into another direction (go away, depart). Not quite, it's just moving to a specific location.
Sense 1 is the most general and accurate for "went and stood".
"I went and stood" -> I moved and stood.
Sense 1: change location; move, travel, or proceed, also metaphorically.
Yes, "went" here means moved.
Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=go%2:38:00:: | definition=change location; move, travel, or proceed, also metaphorically
This is the best fit.
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "stood" (lemma: stand).
Context: "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."
The speaker went and stood out in front of the house. This means they were in an upright position, standing.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=stand%2:35:00:: | definition=be standing; be upright | synonyms=stand up | examples=We had to stand for the entire performance!
2. sense_key=stand%2:42:04:: | definition=be in some specified state or condition

11. sense_key=stand%2:33:00:: | definition=withstand the force of something
12. sense_key=stand%2:35:10:: | definition=be available for stud services

The context says "I went and stood out in front of the house". This is the physical act of being standing, being upright.
Sense 1: "be standing; be upright" fits perfectly.
Let's double check if it could be 3 (occupy a place or location). "I went and stood out in front of the house" - the primary meaning is the physical posture of standing.
Wait, "stood out in front of the house" - "stood" is the verb. "I went and stood" -> I went and assumed a standing position.
Sense 1 is "be standing; be upright".
Let's review the examples for Sense 1: "We had to stand for the entire performance!"
This matches the physical action of standing.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Another option: Sense 3 "occupy a place or location, also metaphorically" - "We stand on common ground". But "stood" here is clearly the physical posture, as opposed to sitting or lying down, especially after "scooted them into the dog run and stood in the doorway myself".
Yes, "stood in the doorway myself" and "stood out in front of the house" both refer to the physical posture of standing.
Sense 1 is the correct choice.

The person is staying in one place (in front of the house) and anticipating or expecting something (Merrill to come home).
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. stay in one place and anticipate or expect something (I had to wait on line for an hour to get the tickets)
2. wait before acting (hold off, hold back)

Sense 1 fits perfectly: "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something". The person stood out in front of the house, waiting (staying in one place and anticipating) for Merrill to come home.
Sense 3 is "look forward to the probable occurrence of", which is more about expecting something to happen, but "waiting" here is the physical act of staying in one place and anticipating. "stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to come home".

Candidate senses:

2. sense_key=pray%2:32:01:: | definition=call upon in supplication; entreat | synonyms=beg, implore | examples=I beg you to stop!

In the context, the speaker is "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home". This means they are hoping or wishing intensely, or perhaps literally praying to a deity, but "praying for [someone] to [do something]" often aligns with sense 1 (address a deity, say a prayer for someone) or sense 2 (entreat). Wait, "praying for Merrill to come home" - is it addressing a deity or entreating Merrill? You can't entreat Merrill if he's not there. You are praying to God/deity for Merrill to come home.
Let's check the examples. "pray to the Lord" (sense 1). "I beg you to stop!" (sense 2).
"praying for Merrill to come home" -> hoping/asking a deity.
Wait, let's look at similar examples. "praying for rain" -> sense 1.
"praying for someone to come home" -> sense 1.
Let's consider sense 1: address a deity, a prophet, a saint or an object of worship; say a prayer.
Sense 2: call upon in supplication; entreat. (e.g., I pray you to go).
Here, the speaker is praying *for* Merrill to come home, not praying *to* Merrill. So it's sense 1.

Let's double check.
"waiting and praying for Merrill to come home"
Sense 1: address a deity... say a prayer.
Sense 2: call upon in supplication; entreat.
If I say "I am praying for you", it means I am saying a prayer for you (Sense 1).
If I say "I pray you to help me", it means I entreat you (Sense 2).
Therefore, "praying for Merrill to come home" is Sense 1.

Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=pray%2:32:00::
2. sense_key=pray%2:32:01::

I will choose 1.
Wait, let's make sure. "praying for Merrill to come home" -> asking God for Merrill to come home. Yes, sense 1.
Context: "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home"
Sense 1 fits perfectly.

The context is: "When I realized it was over, I went and stood out in front of the house, waiting and praying for Merrill to <t>come</t> home, shivering as if it were 20 below zero until he got there."
The target word is "come".
The phrase is "come home".
This means to reach a destination, to arrive.
Let's check the candidate senses:
1. move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody (come up)
2. reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress (arrive, get) - examples: She arrived home at 7 o'clock; She didn't get to Chicago until after midnight.
3. come to pass; arrive, as in due course
4. reach or enter a state, relation, condition, use, or position
...
Sense 2 fits perfectly: "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress". The example "She arrived home at 7 o'clock" matches "come home".
Let's double check.
"waiting and praying for Merrill to come home" -> arrive at home.
Sense 2 is the best fit.
Sense 2: sense_key=come%2:38:04:: | definition=reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress | synonyms=arrive, get | examples=She arrived home at 7 o'clock; She didn't get to Chicago until after midnight
Yes, sense 2.

Context:
KIM: I got home, let the dogs into the house and noticed some sounds above my head, as if someone were walking on the roof, or upstairs. 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 <t>home</t>, shivering as if it were 20 below zero until he got there. Never in my life have I been so frightened.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=home%1:15:04:: | definition=where you live at a particular time | synonyms=place | examples=deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to

reasoning_content:
The target word is "home" in the context: "waiting and praying for Merrill to come <t>home</t>, shivering as if it were 20 below zero until he got there."
The context is about someone returning to the place where they live.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=home%1:15:04:: | definition=where you live at a particular time | synonyms=place | examples=deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to
2. sense_key=home%1:06:00:: | definition=housing that someone is living in | synonyms=dwelling, domicile, abode, habitation, dwelling house
3. sense_key=home%1:15:02:: | definition=the country or state or city where you live

5. sense_key=home%1:15:05:: | definition=the place where you are stationed and from which missions start and end
6. sense_key=home%1:15:03:: | definition=place where something began and flourished
7. sense_key=home%1:26:00:: | definition=an environment offering affection and security
8. sense_key=home%1:14:00:: | definition=a social unit living together
9. sense_key=home%1:06:01:: | definition=an institution where people are cared for

"come home" refers to returning to the place where one lives.
Sense 1: "where you live at a particular time" - "deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to". This fits perfectly.
Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in" - dwelling, domicile. "come home" is more about the location/place where you live at a particular time, rather than the physical housing structure itself, though they are close. But "where you live at a particular time" is the exact definition of "home" as a destination (e.g., "go home", "come home").
Let's re-read sense 1: "where you live at a particular time".
Let's re-read sense 2: "housing that someone is living in".
In "come home", "home" is an adverb or noun indicating the destination, the place where one lives.
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check. "waiting and praying for Merrill to come home" -> Merrill is returning to the place where he lives.
Sense 1: where you live at a particular time.
Yes, sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the examples for sense 1: "deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to".
This matches "come home".
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.

"Never in my life have I been so frightened."
This refers to the period between birth and the present time, or the entire course of existence up to now.
Sense 6: "the period between birth and the present time" | examples="I have known him all his life"
"Never in my life" matches "all his life" or "in my life" as the period from birth to now.

Let's check sense 6: life%1:28:01::
Definition: the period between birth and the present time
Examples: I have known him all his life

Is there any other sense?
Sense 3: the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living.
Sense 6 is specifically "the period between birth and the present time", which perfectly fits "Never in my life" (meaning from birth until now).

Let's double check WordNet for "never in my life".
"Never in my life" -> life%1:28:01::
Yes, "in my life" usually refers to the period from birth to the present.

Let's review the options.
6. sense_key=life%1:28:01:: | definition=the period between birth and the present time | examples=I have known him all his life

This is the best fit.

Target lemma: picture

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 <t>pictures</t> of 880 and the Bay Bridge, I began to cry. 5:09 a.m.
