    *   "got tied up with this stranger"
    *   "Tied up" here is an idiomatic expression meaning "involved" or "entangled."
    *   "Got tied up" means "became involved."
    *   Looking at the senses:
        *   Sense 2: "enter or assume a certain state or condition" (synonyms: become, go). Example: "He became annoyed..."
        *   Sense 3: "cause to move; cause to be in a certain position or condition" (synonyms: let, have). Example: "He got his squad on the ball." (This is causative).
        *   Sense 7: "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)" (synonyms: experience, receive, have). Example: "get an idea."

    *   "Got tied up" is a passive-like construction meaning "became tied up" (became involved).
    *   Sense 2 ("enter or assume a certain state or condition") fits "became involved" perfectly.
    *   Let's double-check Sense 3. Sense 3 is causative ("cause to be in a certain position"). If the sentence were "He got himself tied up," it might be causative, but "how he got tied up" usually means "how he became involved."
    *   Wait, "tied up" can be literal or figurative. In this context, it's figurative (involved with a stranger).
    *   "Become involved" = "Assume a certain state or condition."

    *   Sense 2: "enter or assume a certain state or condition" (become).
    *   Example: "He became annoyed when he heard the bad news."
    *   Application: "He became tied up (involved) with this stranger."

    *   Sense 3: "cause to move; cause to be in a certain position or condition". This is usually "get [someone/something] [position/condition]". Example: "He got his squad on the ball."
    *   In "how he got tied up," "got" is used as a linking verb (copula) meaning "became."

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit for "became [state/condition]".

    *   The phrase is "two hours of steady drinking".
    *   In this context, "steady" describes the act of drinking over a period of time. It means continuous, regular, or persistent.
    *   Looking at the candidate senses:
        *   Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior" (steady beat). This is close, as it implies a constant rate.
        *   Sense 5: "relating to a person who does something regularly" (synonym: regular; example: "a steady drinker").

    *   Wait, let's re-examine Sense 5: "relating to a person who does something regularly". The example is "a steady drinker".
    *   In the context "two hours of steady drinking", is it describing the *person* or the *action*?
    *   "Steady drinking" here means drinking continuously or at a constant rate for two hours.
    *   Does Sense 5 ("relating to a person who does something regularly") fit "steady drinking" (the activity)?
    *   Actually, "a steady drinker" (Sense 5) refers to someone who drinks regularly (like an alcoholic or a habitual drinker).
    *   "Two hours of steady drinking" refers to the *rate* or *continuity* of the action during those two hours.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior" (e.g., "a steady beat"). A "steady beat" is constant and unchanging. "Steady drinking" for two hours means drinking at a constant, uninterrupted pace.

    *   Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation" (e.g., steady beat).
    *   Sense 5: "relating to a person who does something regularly" (e.g., a steady drinker).
    *   If the text said "He was a steady drinker," Sense 5 would be perfect.
    *   But the text says "two hours of steady drinking." This describes the *process* of drinking over a specific duration.
    *   Is "steady" in "steady drinking" describing the *rate* (Sense 1) or the *habit* (Sense 5)?
    *   "Two hours of steady drinking" implies a continuous, constant flow of alcohol consumption. This aligns better with "not subject to change or variation" (Sense 1).

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 5 again. "relating to a person who does something regularly". The example "a steady drinker" is very specific. But "steady drinking" as a noun phrase describing the activity...
    *   If I say "steady progress," that's Sense 1.
    *   If I say "steady drinking" (meaning continuous), that's like "steady progress."
    *   If I say "He is a steady drinker," that's Sense 5.
    *   In "two hours of steady drinking," the word "steady" modifies "drinking" (the gerund/noun). It means the drinking was constant for those two hours.

    *   Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation" (steady beat, steady job).
    *   Sense 5: "relating to a person who does something regularly" (regular customer, steady drinker).
    *   The example "a steady drinker" in Sense 5 refers to a *person* (a drinker).
    *   In the context "two hours of steady drinking," "drinking" is the activity.
    *   Therefore, "steady" describes the *nature* of the activity (constant/continuous), not the *habit* of the person.
    *   Sense 1 fits "constant/continuous" (like a steady beat).

    *   Wait, let me search for "steady drinking" in a corpus or dictionary.
    *   "Steady" meaning "continuous" or "constant" is a very common use.
    *   Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation".
    *   Sense 5: "relating to a person who does something regularly".
    *   If the phrase is "two hours of steady drinking," it's almost certainly meaning "continuous" or "constant."

    *   Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior" (steady beat).
    *   Sense 5: "relating to a person who does something regularly" (steady drinker).
    *   Wait, if Sense 5's example is "a steady drinker," and the target is "steady drinking," could it be Sense 5?
    *   "A steady drinker" = a person who drinks regularly.
    *   "Steady drinking" = the act of drinking regularly? Or the act of drinking continuously?
    *   "Two hours of steady drinking" strongly implies continuity/constancy over those two hours, not a lifelong habit.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

    *   Sense 1: not subject to change or variation (steady beat).
    *   Sense 2: not liable to fluctuate (stocks).
    *   Sense 3: secure in position (ladder).
    *   Sense 4: resolute (convictions).
    *   Sense 5: regular (customer).
    *   Sense 6: unexcitable (nerves).
    *   "Two hours of steady drinking" -> constant, uninterrupted. This matches Sense 1.

    *   Context: "The stranger, his <t>head</t> seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light..."

    *   The phrase is "his head seemingly sunk in thought".
    *   "Sunk in thought" is a common idiom meaning deeply preoccupied or thinking deeply.
    *   Physically, when someone is "sunk in thought," they often tilt their head down or look downward.
    *   The context describes a person (the stranger) crossing the street.

    *   Sense 1: "the upper part of the human body... contains the face and brains" (Physical head)
    *   Sense 3: "that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason" (Mind/Brain)
    *   Sense 4: "a person who is in charge" (Leader)
    *   Sense 7: "the top of something" (Top)
    *   Sense 14: "an individual person" (Per person)
    *   (Other senses are clearly irrelevant: cattle, military, fluid pressure, grammar, etc.)

    *   Is it the physical head (Sense 1) or the mind (Sense 3)?
    *   "His head seemingly sunk in thought" describes a physical posture (head tilted down) that *indicates* a mental state (being in thought).
    *   If it were Sense 3 (mind), the phrase would more likely be "his mind was sunk in thought" or "he was lost in thought."
    *   "Sunk" in this context usually refers to the physical position of the head (bowed, lowered).
    *   Example for Sense 1: "he stuck his head out the window" (Physical part).
    *   Example for Sense 3: "his mind wandered; I couldn't get his words out of my head" (Mental faculty).
    *   In "his head seemingly sunk in thought," the word "head" refers to the physical part of the body that is positioned in a way that suggests the person is thinking.

    *   Sense 1: Physical head.
    *   Sense 3: Mind.
    *   Comparing "head sunk in thought" vs "mind sunk in thought". While "lost in thought" is common, "head sunk" refers to the physical posture. If you say someone's head is sunk, you are talking about the physical object.

    *   Wait, let me re-read: "his head seemingly sunk in thought".
    *   If someone's head is "sunk", it's the physical head.
    *   If someone is "lost in thought", it's their mind.
    *   The phrase "head sunk in thought" is a description of the person's appearance (physical head position).

    *   Sense 1: the upper part of the human body...
    *   Sense 3: that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings...
    *   The physical head is what is "sunk" (lowered).

    *   Sense 1 is the most appropriate because it refers to the physical part of the body whose position indicates the mental state.

    *   The sentence is: "The stranger... started to cross the street..."
    *   Here, "started" is followed by an infinitive ("to cross").
    *   This means the stranger began the action of crossing the street.
    *   Comparing this to the senses:
        *   Sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" (Example: "We began working at dawn"). This fits perfectly.

        *   Sense 3: "leave" (e.g., "depart"). While crossing the street involves moving, "started to cross" specifically means beginning the action.
        *   Sense 7: "move or jump suddenly" (startle). The context says he was "sunk in thought," and then he "started to cross." It doesn't say he jumped in surprise; it says he began the act of crossing.
        *   Sense 9: "begin or set in motion" (e.g., "I start at eight"). This is more about a schedule or a race.

    *   Sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" (Synonyms: begin, get down, set about).
    *   Example: "We began working at dawn."
    *   Context: "started to cross the street" $\approx$ "began to cross the street."

    *   Sense 1 is the most accurate description of "starting to do something" (beginning an action).

*   Target lemma: "horn"
    *   Context: "...just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection. Brakes howled and a <t>horn</t> blared furiously..."
    *   Key clues: "moving van", "intersection", "brakes howled", "blared furiously".

    *   1: noisemaker (parties/games) - No.
    *   2: bony outgrowth (animals) - No.
    *   3: noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning - This is the *sound* (the noise).
    *   4: pommel of a saddle - No.
    *   5: brass musical instrument (trumpet/cornet) - No.
    *   6: hard protuberance (organism) - No.
    *   7: material (keratin) - No.
    *   8: device shaped like a horn - No.
    *   9: alarm device (general) - Possible, but there's a more specific one.
    *   10: brass musical instrument (French horn) - No.
    *   11: device on an automobile for making a warning noise - This is the *device* (the object).

    *   The sentence says "a horn blared furiously".
    *   Does "horn" refer to the device (sense 11) or the sound (sense 3)?
    *   Usually, when we say "the horn blared", we are referring to the device that is producing the sound (metonymy) or the sound itself.
    *   Let's look at the definitions again:
        *   Sense 3: "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning"
        *   Sense 11: "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise"
    *   In "a horn blared", "blared" is the action. A device blares; a noise is the result of blaring. While "the horn" can refer to the sound, it most commonly refers to the device in this syntactic structure ("a [device] [verb]").
    *   Wait, let's compare: "The car horn blared" vs "The horn (sound) blared".
    *   Actually, in many WordNet-style disambiguation tasks, "the horn blared" refers to the device (sense 11). Let's double-check sense 3. Sense 3 is "a noise made by the driver". If the sentence were "He heard a horn", it could be either. But "a horn blared" strongly suggests the device.

    *   Sense 11: "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise"
    *   Sense 3: "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning"
    *   If the horn (the device) blares, it makes the noise. If the horn (the noise) blares... that's slightly redundant.
    *   Most linguistic corpora and WSD benchmarks map "the horn blared" to the device.

    *   Sense 11 is the most specific and accurate for a "horn" on a "moving van".

*   Target word: "hit"
    *   Context: "...a huge moving van roared through the intersection. Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been <t>hit</t> if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."
    *   Meaning: The man was almost struck by a moving vehicle.

    *   1: cause to move by striking (e.g., hit a ball) - No.
    *   2: hit against; come into sudden contact with (synonyms: strike, run into, collide with; example: The car hit a tree) - This fits well. A van hitting a person is "running into" or "colliding with" them.
    *   3: deal a blow to, either with the hand or with an instrument (e.g., hit her hard in the face) - This usually implies a deliberate act of violence with a hand/tool.
    *   4: reach a destination (e.g., hit Detroit) - No.
    *   5: affect or afflict suddenly (e.g., hit by bad weather) - No.
    *   6: hit with a missile from a weapon - No.
    *   7: encounter by chance - No.
    *   8: gain points in a game - No.
    *   9: cause to experience suddenly (e.g., panic struck me) - No.
    *   10: make a strategic, offensive assault - No.

    *   15: consume to excess - No.
    *   16: hit the intended target or goal - No.
    *   17: pay unsolicited sexual attention - No.

    *   Sense 2: "hit against; come into sudden contact with" (synonyms: strike, run into, collide with). Example: "The car hit a tree".
    *   Sense 3: "deal a blow to, either with the hand or with an instrument".
    *   In the context of a vehicle almost striking a pedestrian, "run into" or "collide with" (Sense 2) is the most accurate description of the physical event.

    *   The man would have been hit (by the van).
    *   This is a passive construction of "The van would have hit the man."
    *   "The van hit the man" $\approx$ "The van ran into the man" or "The van collided with the man."
    *   This aligns perfectly with Sense 2.
