Target lemma: realize

Context:
Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man. He began to wish that he hadn't shouted that other evening when the truck bore down through the crossing. Was he going to be saddled from now on with a creep for a bar - buddy? He'd have to start going to some of the other places again. In a low voice, almost whispering, the man had asked Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back. He made the mistake of answering in an offhand way, and instantly <t>realized</t> that his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice. Pete frowned slightly, then became sad and moody.

*   Target lemma: `realize`
    *   Target surface form: `realized`
    *   Context: "...He made the mistake of answering in an offhand way, and instantly <t>realized</t> that his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."

    *   Sense 1: `be fully aware or cognizant of` (synonyms: recognize, recognise, realise, agnize, agnise)
    *   Sense 2: `perceive (an idea or situation) mentally` (synonyms: understand, realise, see)
    *   Sense 3: `make real or concrete; give reality or substance to` (synonyms: realise, actualize, actualise, substantiate)
    *   Sense 4: `earn on some commercial or business transaction; earn as salary or wages` (synonyms: gain, take in, clear, make, earn, realise)
    *   Sense 5: `convert into cash; of goods and property` (synonyms: realise)
    *   Sense 6: `expand or complete (a part in a piece of baroque music)...` (synonyms: realise)

    *   The character (Haney) answers in an offhand way and "instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
    *   This means he became aware of a fact or a situation (that his skepticism was visible/audible).

    *   Sense 1: `be fully aware or cognizant of`
    *   Sense 2: `perceive (an idea or situation) mentally`
    *   Both Sense 1 and Sense 2 are very close. Let's look closer.
    *   Sense 1 (`be fully aware or cognizant of`) often refers to a state of awareness or the act of becoming aware of a fact.
    *   Sense 2 (`perceive (an idea or situation) mentally`) often refers to understanding a point or a concept (e.g., "I see your point").
    *   In the context "realized that his skepticism must have showed", he is becoming aware of a fact/situation.
    *   Comparing "recognize" (Sense 1) vs "understand" (Sense 2).
    *   "He realized that..." is a classic usage of becoming aware of something.
    *   Let's check WordNet's typical distinction. Often, `realize%2:31:00` (Sense 2) is "to become aware of" and `realize%2:31:01` (Sense 1) is "to be aware of". Wait, let me re-read the provided glosses.
    *   Sense 1: `be fully aware or cognizant of`
    *   Sense 2: `perceive (an idea or situation) mentally`
    *   Actually, in many WordNet versions, "realize" as in "suddenly understand/become aware" is mapped to the "perceive" sense.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms:
        *   Sense 1: recognize, recognise, realise, agnize, agnise.
        *   Sense 2: understand, realise, see.
    *   "He realized that his skepticism must have showed" $\approx$ "He perceived that his skepticism must have showed" or "He became aware that his skepticism must have showed".
    *   Usually, "realize" in the sense of "suddenly understand a fact" is Sense 2 (perceive mentally). Sense 1 is often more about recognition (e.g., recognizing a face or a truth).
    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate. "Realize" meaning "to become aware of" is the most common meaning here.
    *   Sense 1: `be fully aware or cognizant of`
    *   Sense 2: `perceive (an idea or situation) mentally`
    *   If I say "I realized I left my keys at home," is that perceiving a situation mentally or being cognizant of it?
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 2: "Now I see!"; "I just can't see your point". These are about understanding.
    *   Looking at Sense 1: "be fully aware or cognizant of".
    *   Actually, "realized that his skepticism must have showed" is a sudden perception of a situation.
    *   Let's compare "recognize" (Sense 1) and "understand" (Sense 2).
    *   "He recognized that his skepticism must have showed" vs "He understood that his skepticism must have showed".
    *   Actually, "realize" in this context is almost always "become aware of".
    *   Let's look at the sense keys provided:
        *   `realize%2:31:00` (Sense 2)
        *   `realize%2:31:01` (Sense 1)
    *   In WordNet 3.0:
        *   `realize%2:31:00` is "become aware of".
        *   `realize%2:31:01` is "be aware of".
    *   Wait, the glosses provided here are:
        *   1: `be fully aware or cognizant of`
        *   2: `perceive (an idea or situation) mentally`
    *   "He realized that..." is the act of perceiving the situation.
    *   Let's re-read: "instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed". This is a sudden mental perception.
    *   Sense 2's synonyms "understand, realise, see" fit well. "I see (realize) that my skepticism showed."
    *   Sense 1's synonyms "recognize, recognise" also fit. "I recognize (realize) that my skepticism showed."
    *   However, "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" (Sense 2) is a very strong fit for the sudden "aha!" moment of realizing something.

    *   Sense 1: `be fully aware or cognizant of` (State of being aware)
    *   Sense 2: `perceive (an idea or situation) mentally` (The act of perceiving/understanding)
    *   The context "instantly realized" emphasizes the moment of perception.

    *   Sense 1: `be fully aware or cognizant of`
    *   Sense 2: `perceive (an idea or situation) mentally`
    *   In many contexts, "realize" meaning "to become aware" is categorized under "perceive mentally".

    *   Sense 1: `be fully aware or cognizant of`
    *   Sense 2: `perceive (an idea or situation) mentally`
    *   If the sentence is "He realized that...", it's usually the process of perceiving.
    *   Let's check the synonyms again.
    *   Sense 1: recognize, recognise, realise, agnize, agnise.
    *   Sense 2: understand, realise, see.
    *   "He realized (saw/understood) that his skepticism must have showed." This fits Sense 2 perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: `be fully aware or cognizant of`
    *   Sense 2: `perceive (an idea or situation) mentally`
    *   Wait, "be fully aware" is often used for "realize". But "perceive mentally" is the act of realizing.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "Now I see!"; "I just can't see your point". These are about understanding.
    *   Is "realizing that skepticism showed" more like "understanding a point" or "becoming aware of a fact"?
    *   It's becoming aware of a fact.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "be fully aware or cognizant of".
    *   Actually, in many WordNet-based datasets, "realize" (become aware) is Sense 2. Let me double-check the glosses one more time.
    *   Sense 1: `be fully aware or cognizant of`
    *   Sense 2: `perceive (an idea or situation) mentally`
    *   If I have to choose the *best* one, "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" describes the mental action of realizing something in the moment.

    *   Sense 1: `be fully aware or cognizant of`
    *   Sense 2: `perceive (an idea or situation) mentally`
    *   "He instantly realized..." -> He instantly perceived the situation.
    *   This feels more like Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: `be fully aware or cognizant of`
    *   Sense 2: `perceive (an idea or situation) mentally`
    *   Wait, "be fully aware" is a state. "Perceive" is an action. "Realized" in "instantly realized" is an action.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the better fit.

Context:
Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man.

    *   Meaning: Haney doubts that the landlord was actually handled or is satisfied with the result. He is expressing doubt about a specific claim/situation.

    *   Sense 1: "doubt about the truth of something" (synonyms: incredulity, disbelief, mental rejection).
    *   Sense 2: "the disbelief in any claims of ultimate knowledge" (synonyms: agnosticism, scepticism). This is a philosophical position.

    *   The context is a specific interaction about a landlord. Haney isn't questioning the nature of ultimate knowledge (Sense 2); he's doubting the truth of the situation Pete is describing (Sense 1).

    *   The sentence is: "...his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
    *   "Skepticism" is an internal feeling/attitude.
    *   "Showed in his face" means the skepticism was visible through his facial expression.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 (physical part) and Sense 2 (feelings expressed/expression).
    *   Sense 1: "the front of the human head..."
    *   Sense 2: "the feelings expressed on a person's face" (synonyms: expression, look).
    *   In the phrase "showed in his face", it refers to the expression on the face that reveals the emotion.

    *   Sense 1 is the anatomical part.
    *   Sense 2 is the expression/look.
    *   Example for Sense 1: "he washed his face", "I wish I had seen the look on his face". (Wait, the second example "look on his face" actually uses "face" as the anatomical part upon which the "look" is placed).
    *   Example for Sense 2: "a sad expression", "a look of triumph".
    *   Let's re-read the context: "his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
    *   If we say "it showed in his face", we usually mean the expression.
    *   However, "face" often refers to the physical part, and the "showing" happens *on* or *in* that part.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: "expression, look, aspect, facial expression".
    *   If we replace "face" with "expression": "...his skepticism must have showed in his expression or voice." (This fits perfectly).
    *   If we replace "face" with "the front of the human head": "...his skepticism must have showed in the front of the human head or voice." (This is the anatomical location).

    *   Sense 1: Physical part.
    *   Sense 2: The expression itself.
    *   In "showed in his face", "face" is often used metonymically for "facial expression".
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1 example: "I wish I had seen the look on his face". Here, "face" is the physical part.
    *   Sense 2 example: "a sad expression".
    *   In "showed in his face", is "face" the physical part or the expression?
    *   Usually, "it showed in his face" means the expression on his face revealed it.
    *   Comparing "showed in his face" vs "showed on his face". Both are common.
    *   If the skepticism is *in* the face, it's more likely referring to the expression (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1: Physical part.
    *   Sense 2: Expression.
    *   "Skepticism showed in his face."
    *   If I say "The sadness was written all over his face," "face" is the physical part.
    *   If I say "He had a face of skepticism," "face" is the expression.
    *   "Showed in his face" is very similar to "showed in his expression".
    *   Let's check Sense 2 again: "the feelings expressed on a person's face".
    *   This matches "skepticism showed in his face" very well.

    *   Sense 1: "the front of the human head..."
    *   Sense 2: "the feelings expressed on a person's face"
    *   Context: "skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
    *   The parallelism with "voice" (which carries the tone/emotion) suggests "face" is also carrying the emotion/expression here.

    *   Sense 1: Physical part.
    *   Sense 2: Expression.
    *   In many WSD datasets (like SemCor), "showed in his face" or "look on his face" can be tricky.
    *   However, "showed in his face" specifically points to the expression.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 2's definition: "the feelings expressed on a person's face".
    *   This is exactly what is happening: skepticism (the feeling) is being expressed.

    *   Sense 1: "he washed his face" (Physical)
    *   Sense 2: "a sad expression" (Expression)

Target lemma: voice
Target surface form: voice
Context:
Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man. He began to wish that he hadn't shouted that other evening when the truck bore down through the crossing. Was he going to be saddled from now on with a creep for a bar - buddy? He'd have to start going to some of the other places again. In a low voice, almost whispering, the man had asked Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back. He made the mistake of answering in an offhand way, and instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his face or <t>voice</t>. Pete frowned slightly, then became sad and moody.

    *   The sentence says "his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
    *   This refers to the *way* he spoke (the tone, quality, or inflection) that revealed his skepticism.
    *   Sense 1 ("the distinctive quality or pitch or condition of a person's speech") fits perfectly because skepticism is conveyed through the quality/tone of the voice.
    *   Sense 2 is the physical sound/mechanism of producing sound.
    *   Sense 9 is the ability to speak.
    *   Senses 3-8, 10, 11 are clearly incorrect.

    *   "Skepticism showed in his voice" means the *quality* of the voice (tone, inflection) betrayed the emotion. This aligns with Sense 1.

    *   Sense 4 (be conscious of a state) doesn't fit.

    *   The phrase is "to prevent possible trouble."
    *   "Trouble" here is an event or a state of affairs that might arise.
    *   Haney wants to stop the "trouble" from *happening* or *arising*.

    *   Sense 1: "keep from happening or arising; make impossible". This fits perfectly. "Prevent trouble" means to stop trouble from arising.
    *   Sense 2: "stop (someone or something) from doing something or being in a certain state". This usually takes an object (someone/something) and a complement (from doing X). Example: "prevent the cancer from spreading". In the target sentence, the object is "possible trouble", and there is no "from doing X" structure.

    *   Sense 1 is about preventing an event/occurrence (trouble).

    *   Context: "Haney didn't want to encourage his company, but felt he ought to buy him a drink anyhow... The guy sulked over his <t>drink</t>, obviously upset by Haney's lack of appreciation."

    *   Sense 1: `drink%1:13:04::` - a single serving of a beverage (e.g., "I asked for a hot drink", "likes a drink before dinner").
    *   Sense 2: `drink%1:04:00::` - the act of drinking alcoholic beverages to excess (e.g., "drink was his downfall").
    *   Sense 3: `drink%1:13:00::` - any liquid suitable for drinking (e.g., "may I take your beverage order?").
    *   Sense 4: `drink%1:17:00::` - any large deep body of water (e.g., "jumped into the drink").
    *   Sense 5: `drink%1:04:01::` - the act of swallowing (e.g., "one swallow of the liquid").

    *   The context says Haney "felt he ought to buy him a drink".
    *   Then it says "The guy sulked over his drink".
    *   In this context, "a drink" refers to a specific serving of a beverage (likely alcoholic, given the phrase "buy him a drink" in a social/bar-like setting), and "his drink" refers to that specific serving he is currently consuming.

    *   Sense 1: "a single serving of a beverage". This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 3: "any liquid suitable for drinking". This is more general (the substance itself) rather than the specific serving.
    *   Sense 2, 4, 5: Clearly incorrect.

    *   "Buy him a drink" -> a single serving.
    *   "Sulked over his drink" -> the specific serving he was bought.
    *   Sense 1 is the most precise fit.

*   Target word: "appreciation"
    *   Context: "The guy sulked over his drink, obviously upset by Haney's lack of <t>appreciation</t>."
    *   Surrounding context: Pete had helped Phil (or Haney, the text is a bit confusing with names, but Pete did something for the protagonist) by getting the landlord off his back. The protagonist (Haney) answered in an "offhand way" and showed "skepticism." Pete became "sad and moody" and "sulked."

    *   Sense 1: Understanding of nature/meaning/quality/magnitude (grasp).
    *   Sense 2: Delicate discrimination/aesthetic values (taste).

    *   Sense 3 is the most precise fit for being upset after doing someone a favor and receiving an offhand response.
