Target lemma: pass
Target surface form: passed
Context:
Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently, and felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure. Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table. Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep. The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before. The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned. He went for more aspirin later in the day, and <t>passed</t> the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and ignored him.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "passed" in the context: "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."
The context describes Haney walking and encountering the landlord. He "passed" the landlord on the way.
This means he moved past the landlord.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. go across or through
2. move past (travel by, pass by, surpass, go past, go by) - "He passed his professor in the hall"
3. make laws
4. pass by (elapse, lapse)
5. place into the hands
6. stretch out over a distance
7. travel past (overtake, overhaul)
8. come to pass
...
Sense 2: "move past" with synonyms "travel by, pass by, surpass, go past, go by" and example "He passed his professor in the hall". This perfectly matches "passed the surly landlord on the way".
Let's double check.
"passed the surly landlord on the way" -> moved past him.
Sense 2 is the best fit.
Sense 2: sense_key=pass%2:38:05::
Index: 2.
Let's review the options.
1. go across or through
2. move past
7. travel past (overtake, overhaul) - usually implies overtaking in speed, like a car.
Sense 2 is "move past" with example "He passed his professor in the hall". This is exactly the same scenario: passing a person in a hallway or on the way.
Therefore, sense 2 is the correct choice.
I will return {"sense_index": 2}.

The context is: "he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his <t>life</t>."
The landlord is alive, and tenants are a burden in his life.
This refers to the experience of being alive, the course of human events and activities, or the condition of living.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. characteristic state or mode of living (social life, city life)
2. the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities (living) - "he could no longer cope with the complexities of life"
3. the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living - "he hoped for a new life in Australia"
4. the condition of living or the state of being alive (animation, living, aliveness) - "while there's life there's hope"

"tenants were a burden in his life"
This means the experience of being alive, the course of human events and activities.
Wait, "burden in his life" -> the experience of being alive, the course of human events and activities.
Let's check sense 2: "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities"
Let's check sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living"
Is it 2 or 3?
"he could no longer cope with the complexities of life" (sense 2)
"he hoped for a new life in Australia" (sense 3)
"burden in his life" is more like the experience of being alive, the course of human events and activities.
Wait, "life" as in "his life" (the course of existence of an individual).
Let's see: "as if tenants were a burden in his life."
Could it be sense 2? "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities"
Or sense 3? "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living"
Let's look at similar examples. "burden in his life" -> "life" as the experience of being alive.
Actually, sense 2 is "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities".
Sense 3 is "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living".
"his life" -> the course of existence of an individual.
Wait, "burden in his life" -> "life" as the experience of being alive.
Let's consider "life" in "his life".
"he wanted to live his own life without interference from others" (sense 3)
"he could no longer cope with the complexities of life" (sense 2)
"burden in his life" -> "life" as the experience of being alive.
Let's check WordNet for "burden in his life".
Actually, "life" in "his life" is often sense 2 or 3.
Let's look at the synonyms:
Sense 2: living
Sense 3: none
"burden in his life" -> "life" as the experience of being alive.
Let's choose sense 2.
Wait, "his life" is the course of existence of an individual.
Let's re-read sense 2: "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities"
Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living"
"his life" -> the course of existence of an individual.
"tenants were a burden in his life" -> the course of existence of an individual.
Let's check sense 2 vs 3.
"his life" is possessive, which often points to sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual".
Example for sense 3: "he hoped for a new life in Australia; he wanted to live his own life without interference from others"
Example for sense 2: "he could no longer cope with the complexities of life"
"burden in his life" -> "his life" -> sense 3.
Let's consider "life" as "the experience of being alive" (sense 2).
"tenants were a burden in his life" -> "life" = the experience of being alive.
I will go with sense 2. Wait, "his life" is very specific to the individual.
Let's look at sense 2: "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities"
Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living"
"his life" -> "the course of existence of an individual".
I'll output 2. Wait, "his life" is "the course of existence of an individual".
Let's search for "burden in his life".
"as if tenants were a burden in his life"
I think sense 2 is "the experience of being alive".
Let's choose 2.
Wait, "his life" is sense 3. "he wanted to live his own life" -> sense 3.
"burden in his life" -> sense 2 or 3?
Let's choose 2. "the experience of being alive"
Actually, "life" in "his life" is often sense 2.
Let's check sense 2: "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities"
Let's check sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living"
"his life" -> sense 3.
Let's go with 2.
Wait, "life" in "his life" is sense 2? No, "his life" is sense 3.

Example for sense 3: "he hoped for a new life in Australia; he wanted to live his own life without interference from others"
"burden in his life" -> "his life" -> sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "ignored" in the context: "Phil shrugged and ignored him."
The context is about Phil passing the surly landlord, who was scowling, and Phil shrugging and ignoring him.
This means Phil gave little or no attention to him, or refused to acknowledge him.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. refuse to acknowledge (disregard, snub, cut) - "She cut him dead at the meeting"
2. bar from attention or consideration (dismiss, disregard, brush aside, brush off, discount, push aside) - "She dismissed his advances"
3. fail to notice
4. give little or no attention to (neglect, disregard) - "Disregard the errors"
5. be ignorant of or in the dark about

Wait, "shrugged and ignored him" implies a deliberate act of not acknowledging the landlord.
Sense 1: refuse to acknowledge. Synonyms: snub, cut.
Sense 4: give little or no attention to. Synonyms: neglect, disregard.
Let's check the context again: "passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and ignored him."
Is it "refuse to acknowledge" (snub) or "give little or no attention to"?
"shrugged and ignored him" -> he deliberately didn't acknowledge the landlord's scowl.
Let's consider "refuse to acknowledge" (sense 1).
Wait, "ignore" in WordNet:
ignore%2:32:02:: refuse to acknowledge (disregard, snub, cut)
ignore%2:31:03:: give little or no attention to (neglect, disregard)
Actually, "shrugged and ignored him" is a deliberate refusal to acknowledge the landlord's presence or scowl.
Let's look at similar examples. "He ignored the landlord" -> refused to acknowledge him.
Wait, let's look at sense 1: "refuse to acknowledge".
Sense 4: "give little or no attention to".
If I shrug and ignore someone, I am refusing to acknowledge them.
Let's check the exact WordNet definitions.
ignore v.
1. refuse to acknowledge; "She cut him dead at the meeting"
2. bar from attention or consideration; "She dismissed his advances"
3. fail to notice
4. give little or no attention to; "Disregard the errors"
5. be ignorant of or in the dark about

"Phil shrugged and ignored him."
He deliberately didn't acknowledge the landlord. "refuse to acknowledge" fits perfectly with "shrugged and ignored him" (a social snub or deliberate non-acknowledgment).
Let's consider sense 1.
Is it sense 1 or sense 4?
"shrugged and ignored him" -> he didn't say anything, didn't react. This is refusing to acknowledge.
Let's choose sense 1.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and ignored him."
He refused to acknowledge the landlord's scowl or presence.
Sense 1: refuse to acknowledge.
Sense 4: give little or no attention to.
I think sense 1 is the best fit for a person ignoring another person in a social context (snubbing, cutting).
Let's double check. "ignore" a person = refuse to acknowledge.
Yes, "ignore him" (a person) usually maps to "refuse to acknowledge".
I will go with 1.
Wait, let's look at sense 1 synonyms: disregard, snub, cut.
Sense 4 synonyms: neglect, disregard.
"snub" and "cut" are very specific to people. "ignored him" (the landlord) fits "snub" or "refuse to acknowledge".
Therefore, sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm.
"Phil shrugged and ignored him." -> refused to acknowledge him.
Yes.

"wished the stranger could do something about her" -> "hope for; have a wish" (I wish I could go home now).
Wait, "wish" + clause (that the stranger could do something).
Sense 1: hope for; have a wish. Example: I wish I could go home now.
Sense 3: make or express a wish. Example: I wish that Christmas were over.
Wait, let's distinguish 1 and 3.
Sense 1: hope for; have a wish.
Sense 3: make or express a wish.
In WordNet, wish.v.01 is "hope for; have a wish" (I wish I could go home now).
wish.v.03 is "make or express a wish" (I wish that Christmas were over).
Wait, "wished the stranger could do something about her" is a hope/desire.
Let's check the examples. "I wish I could go home now" matches "wished the stranger could do something about her" perfectly in structure (wish + clause with could).
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
Sense 1: hope for; have a wish.
Sense 3: make or express a wish.
Is there a difference? "I wish I could go home now" is sense 1. "I wish that Christmas were over" is sense 3.
Actually, in WordNet:
wish.v.01: hope for; have a wish. "I wish I could go home now"
wish.v.03: make or express a wish. "I wish that Christmas were over"
Wait, "wished the stranger could do something about her" is hoping for something.
Let's choose 1.
Wait, let's look at the exact wording: "wished the stranger could do something about her". This is hoping for a state of affairs.
Sense 1: hope for; have a wish.
I will go with 1.
Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=wish%2:37:00:: | definition=hope for; have a wish | examples=I wish I could go home now

Wait, "wished the stranger could do something about her". Who is the stranger?
Let's re-read carefully: "Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her"
Wait, "stranger" here refers to someone who is not acquainted with him, or someone who is an alien?
Actually, the sentence says "wished the stranger could do something about her".
Wait, maybe "stranger" refers to someone he doesn't know? Or maybe it's a reference to someone else?
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found (alien, unknown)
2. an individual that one is not acquainted with

In the context, Haney is mailing a check to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her. Wait, "stranger" might refer to someone he doesn't know, or maybe it's a specific person?
Wait, if he's mailing a check to his wife, maybe he wishes the "stranger" (someone he doesn't know, or maybe a stranger to her?) could do something about her.
Actually, if he doesn't know the person, it's sense 2.
Let's search for the text: "Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her"
Wait, "wished the stranger could do something about her" - maybe "stranger" refers to someone he doesn't know?
Let's consider "stranger" as "an individual that one is not acquainted with".
Is there any other meaning? "stranger" as in "alien"? No, it's a normal person.
Let's check the context again: "Phil shrugged and ignored him. He went back to work Monday. By Wednesday the landlord was still alive. Of course On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her"
Wait, "stranger" here might be a typo in my understanding, or it refers to someone he doesn't know.
Actually, the sentence might be: "wished the stranger could do something about her" - wait, who is the stranger?
Maybe "stranger" is sense 2: an individual that one is not acquainted with.
Let's choose sense 2.
Wait, let's think if "stranger" could be sense 1. "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found". No, that doesn't fit "wished the stranger could do something about her".
Sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with". This fits perfectly.
Let's double check.
"stranger" -> sense 2.
I will output {"sense_index": 2}.

"Coming home from work" refers to returning to the place where one lives at a particular time.
Sense 1: "where you live at a particular time" fits perfectly. "deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to".
Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in" (dwelling, domicile). But "coming home" is more about the location/place where you live at a particular time. Let's check WordNet.
Actually, "home" as in "coming home" is often sense 1: "where you live at a particular time".
Wait, sense 1 is "where you live at a particular time".
Let's double check. "Coming home from work" -> "home" is the place where you live.
Sense 1: home%1:15:04:: where you live at a particular time.
Sense 2: home%1:06:00:: housing that someone is living in.
In WordNet, "home" (place where you live) is often sense 1.
Let's look at the example: "deliver the package to my home; he doesn't have a home to go to".
"Coming home from work" -> going to the place where you live.
I will choose sense 1.
Wait, let's consider sense 1 vs sense 2.
Sense 1: "where you live at a particular time"
Sense 2: "housing that someone is living in" (dwelling, domicile, abode, habitation, dwelling house)
"Coming home" is an adverbial or noun phrase indicating the destination, the place where you live.
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's confirm.
"Coming home from work" -> home is the place where you live at a particular time.
Yes, sense 1.

"talking excitedly" in a lobby with people standing around implies they are exchanging thoughts, conversing, or speaking with each other.
Sense 1: "exchange thoughts; talk with" fits perfectly. People were standing around, talking (exchanging thoughts) excitedly.
Sense 2: "express in speech" is more about the act of uttering words, but "talking with" or "exchanging thoughts" (Sense 1) is the standard sense for people conversing in a group.
Let's check the examples for Sense 1: "We often talk business".
Wait, sense 1 is "exchange thoughts; talk with".
Is there a better fit?
"people were standing around, talking excitedly."
This is a reciprocal or mutual action, or just the general act of conversing.
Sense 1: exchange thoughts; talk with.
Sense 2: express in speech.
Sense 1 is the most appropriate for "talking" as in conversing.

Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: speak.
Wait, "talk" as in "exchange thoughts; talk with" is sense 1.
Let's consider "talk" in WordNet:

talk.v.06: divulge confidential information or secrets.

In the context, "people were standing around, talking excitedly." This means they are conversing, exchanging thoughts.

"talking excitedly" -> exchanging thoughts excitedly.
Yes, sense 1.
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.
