*   Target lemma: `have`
    *   Target surface form: `has`
    *   Context: "...and always at a time when the customer <t>has</t> an alibi."
    *   Target word: `has` (from `have`)

    *   1: have or possess (concrete or abstract) - "She has $1,000 in the bank"
    *   2: have as a feature - "This restaurant features the most famous chefs"
    *   3: go through (mental or physical states or experiences) - "get an idea; experience vertigo"

    *   18: cause to be born - "My wife had twins"
    *   19: have sex with - "He had taken this woman"

    *   The phrase is "the customer has an alibi."
    *   An "alibi" is a claim or piece of evidence that one was elsewhere when an act took place.
    *   Does the customer *own* the alibi (Sense 4)? Not really in a legal/property sense.
    *   Does the customer *possess* the alibi in an abstract sense (Sense 1)? Yes.
    *   Does the customer *experience* the alibi (Sense 3)? No.
    *   Does the customer *feature* the alibi (Sense 2)? No.

    *   Sense 1: "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense" (Synonyms: have got, hold).
    *   Sense 4: "have ownership or possession of" (Synonyms: own, possess).
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 4: Sense 4 is more about ownership (houses, cars). Sense 1 is broader and includes abstract possession. An alibi is an abstract possession.

    *   "The customer has an alibi" means the customer possesses a valid excuse/proof of location. This fits the "abstract sense" of possession described in Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense"
    *   Sense 4: "have ownership or possession of"
    *   In many WordNet-based datasets, "have an alibi" or "have a quality" falls under the general "possess" sense (Sense 1) rather than the "ownership" sense (Sense 4).

    *   Sense 1: "She has $1,000 in the bank" (concrete/abstract possession).
    *   Sense 4: "He owns three houses" (ownership).
    *   An alibi is not owned like a house; it is possessed as a fact or a piece of evidence. Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   "Let me prove it, Phil."
    *   In this context, the speaker is asking for permission or requesting that the other person allow them to do something.
    *   This is a common imperative use of "let" to make a request or suggestion ("Let me [do something]").

    *   Sense 1: "make it possible through a specific action or lack of action for something to happen" (e.g., "This permits the water to rush in"). This is more about enabling a process.

    *   "Let me prove it" is essentially "Allow me to prove it" or "Give me permission to prove it."
    *   Sense 3 specifically mentions "consent to, give permission" and synonyms "permit, allow".

    *   Sense 1 is about enabling/permitting a physical or logical possibility.
    *   Sense 3 is about granting permission/consent.
    *   In "Let me prove it," the speaker is asking for the other person's consent/permission to perform the action.

    *   Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   "I think I can manage one more favor for you."
    *   In this context, "I think" expresses a belief, a supposition, or a degree of certainty about the speaker's ability to do something. It's not about the process of reasoning (cogitating), remembering, intending, or visualizing.

    *   Sense 1: judge or regard; look upon; judge (e.g., "I think he is very smart"). This is about an opinion of someone/something.
    *   Sense 2: expect, believe, or suppose (e.g., "I imagine she earned a lot of money"). This fits well with "I think I can manage..." (I believe/suppose I can manage).

This aligns more closely with Sense 2 ("believe, or suppose") than Sense 1 ("judge or regard"). Sense 1 is often used for opinions/evaluations of others or things, whereas Sense 2 is more about a belief regarding a state of affairs or a possibility.

    *   "I think I can manage..." $\approx$ "I believe I can manage..." or "I suppose I can manage..."
    *   Sense 2 synonyms: opine, suppose, imagine, reckon, guess.
    *   Sense 1 synonyms: believe, consider, conceive.
    *   Wait, Sense 1 also has "believe". Let's look closer.

    *   Sense 2: "expect, believe, or suppose" (e.g., "I imagine she earned a lot of money").
    *   "I think I can manage one more favor" is more of a supposition/belief about a possibility than a judgment/regard of a person's quality.

    *   Sense 1: "I think he is very smart" (Opinion/Judgment).
    *   Sense 2: "I imagine she earned a lot of money" (Supposition/Belief about a fact/possibility).
    *   "I think I can manage one more favor" is a belief about a possibility. This fits Sense 2 better.

*   Target lemma: `wait`
    *   Target surface form: `waited`
    *   Context: "Yes, yes ", he muttered impatiently. "Of course it looked like an accident. I always work it that way -- and always at a time when the customer has an alibi. Let me prove it, Phil. I think I can manage one more favor for you ". He <t>waited</t> eagerly. Haney swished the liquor in the bottom of his glass.

    *   Sense 1: `stay in one place and anticipate or expect something` (e.g., waiting in line).
    *   Sense 2: `wait before acting` (e.g., hold off).
    *   Sense 3: `look forward to the probable occurrence of` (e.g., expecting a visit).
    *   Sense 4: `serve as a waiter or waitress in a restaurant`.

    *   The character has just made an offer ("Let me prove it... I think I can manage one more favor for you") and is now waiting for a response or reaction from Phil.
    *   "He waited eagerly" describes his state of anticipation.
    *   Is he staying in one place (Sense 1)? Likely, but the focus is on the anticipation of the response.
    *   Is he holding off on acting (Sense 2)? No, he's waiting for someone else to act.
    *   Is he looking forward to the probable occurrence of something (Sense 3)? Yes, he is anticipating the reaction/answer.
    *   Is he serving as a waiter (Sense 4)? No.

    *   Sense 1: "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something".
    *   Sense 3: "look forward to the probable occurrence of".
    *   In the context "He waited eagerly", the adverb "eagerly" strongly suggests the internal state of anticipation/expectation (Sense 3) rather than the physical act of staying in one place (Sense 1). However, "wait" in the sense of "waiting for a response" often maps to Sense 1 in many WordNet-based datasets if it involves a pause in action.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1: "stay in one place and anticipate or expect something".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 3: "look forward to the probable occurrence of".
    *   Usually, "wait" (intransitive) meaning "to pause and expect" is Sense 1. Sense 3 is often used for "await" or "expect" (e.g., "I am waiting for the results").
    *   Wait... looking at the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "I had to wait on line for an hour..." (Physical stay)
        *   Sense 3: "We were expecting a visit..." (Mental expectation)
    *   In "He waited eagerly", he is pausing his speech and waiting for Phil's reaction. This is a combination of pausing (staying in place/state) and anticipating.
    *   Comparing "waited eagerly" to "expecting a visit": "Waited" is the verb here. "He waited" (paused) "eagerly" (with anticipation).
    *   If the sentence was "He awaited the answer eagerly", Sense 3 would be a perfect fit.
    *   If the sentence is "He waited eagerly", it usually means he paused and stayed there, expecting something to happen.

    *   Sense 1: stay in one place and anticipate or expect something.
    *   Sense 3: look forward to the probable occurrence of.
    *   "He waited eagerly" -> He paused and stayed in his current state, anticipating the response. This fits Sense 1's "anticipate or expect something" while staying in one place (or state).
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 3 again: "look forward to the probable occurrence of". Synonyms: expect, look, await.
    *   Actually, in many linguistic corpora, "wait" used as "pause and expect" is Sense 1. Sense 3 is more about the mental state of expectation over a period of time.
    *   Let's check the context again: "He waited eagerly. Haney swished the liquor..." This describes a beat in the conversation. He stopped talking and waited for the other person to react. This is a classic "pause and expect" scenario.

    *   Sense 1: stay in one place and anticipate or expect something.
    *   Sense 3: look forward to the probable occurrence of.
    *   If I say "I'm waiting for the bus", is that Sense 1 or 3? Usually Sense 1.
    *   If I say "I'm waiting for my turn", is that Sense 1 or 3? Usually Sense 1.
    *   If I say "I'm waiting for the results", it could be either, but Sense 3 emphasizes the expectation.
    *   "He waited eagerly" (for a response). This is a pause in action to see what happens next. This aligns best with Sense 1.

    *   Wait, let me double-check the synonyms for Sense 3: "expect, look, await".
    *   "He expected eagerly" (doesn't work). "He awaited eagerly" (works).
    *   "He waited eagerly" (works).
    *   If the sense is "to stay in one place and anticipate", it fits the scene (he's in a room with Phil).

    *   Sense 1: stay in one place and anticipate or expect something.
    *   Sense 3: look forward to the probable occurrence of.
    *   "He waited eagerly" is a very common way to describe someone pausing for a reaction. This is generally categorized as the basic sense of "wait" (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: stay in one place and anticipate or expect something.
    *   Sense 3: look forward to the probable occurrence of.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 3: "We were expecting a visit from our relatives". This is a state of expectation.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 1: "I had to wait on line for an hour". This is the act of waiting.
    *   "He waited eagerly" is an action (a pause) in the narrative.

    *   Wait, let me search for "waited eagerly" in WSD contexts. Often, "wait" meaning "to remain expectant" is the primary sense.
    *   Sense 1: stay in one place and anticipate or expect something.
    *   Sense 3: look forward to the probable occurrence of.
    *   The difference is subtle. Sense 1 is more about the *act* of waiting (staying), while Sense 3 is more about the *feeling* of expectation.
    *   "He waited eagerly" describes the act of pausing to see the reaction.

    *   Sense 1: stay in one place and anticipate or expect something.
    *   Sense 3: look forward to the probable occurrence of.
    *   Actually, looking at the WordNet structure, `wait.n.01` (stay in one place) is the most common. Sense 3 (`wait.n.03` or similar) is often "await".
    *   Let's re-read: "He waited eagerly." This is a physical and mental pause. Sense 1 covers both "stay in one place" and "anticipate or expect".

    *   Sense 1: stay in one place and anticipate or expect something.
    *   Sense 3: look forward to the probable occurrence of.
    *   If the character is just standing there waiting for Phil to speak, he is staying in one place and anticipating.

    *   Wait, let me think about Sense 3 again. "look forward to the probable occurrence of". This is almost exactly what "eagerly" modifies.
    *   However, "waited" as a verb in "He waited" almost always implies the pause/staying part.
    *   Let's try to see if "waited" can mean "looked forward to" without the "staying" part. "I waited for the day to come." (Sense 3). "I waited for him to answer." (Sense 1).
    *   In the context "He waited eagerly. Haney swished the liquor...", it's a moment in time. He is pausing. This is Sense 1.

    *   Sense 1: stay in one place and anticipate or expect something.
    *   Sense 3: look forward to the probable occurrence of.
    *   Wait, "look forward to" is usually a longer-term expectation. "He waited eagerly" for a response in a conversation is a short-term pause.
    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 8: `shift to a counterclockwise direction` (example: "the wind backed")
    *   Sense 9: `establish as valid or genuine` (synonyms: back up; example: "Can you back up your claims?")
    *   Sense 10: `strengthen by providing with a back or backing`

    *   The context is about voting in an election ("Democratic presidential candidate").
    *   Sense 1 ("be behind; approve of") specifically mentions "I backed Kennedy in 1960", which is a direct parallel to "backed a Democratic presidential candidate".
    *   Sense 3 ("give support or one's approval to") is very similar, but Sense 1's example is a perfect match for political support/voting.
    *   Sense 5 is financial.
    *   Sense 7 is gambling.

    *   Sense 1: `be behind; approve of` (Example: "I backed Kennedy in 1960")
    *   Sense 3: `give support or one's approval to` (Example: "I can't back this plan")
    *   In the context of a district voting for a candidate, "backed" means they supported/voted for them. Sense 1's example "I backed Kennedy in 1960" is the most precise fit for political candidacy.

    *   Sense 1: `be behind; approve of` (synonyms: endorse, indorse, plump for, plunk for, support)
    *   Sense 3: `give support or one's approval to` (synonyms: second, endorse, indorse)
    *   Wait, looking closer at Sense 1 and Sense 3. Sense 1 is often used for political support (plump for, plunk for). Sense 3 is often used for motions or plans ("second that motion", "back this plan").
    *   The example "I backed Kennedy in 1960" in Sense 1 is almost identical to the context "backed a Democratic presidential candidate".

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   Let's re-examine Sense 7: "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth".

    *   Wait, let's look at "federal level" again. It's a common expression.
    *   Is it a "tier" (Sense 2) or a "layer" (Sense 7)?
    *   In many WSD datasets (like SemCor), "level" in "federal level" or "national level" is often mapped to the sense of a "tier" or "stratum".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: grade, tier.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 7: layer, stratum.
    *   "Federal level" is a tier of government.

    *   Sense 1: intensity/amount (e.g., "high level of care") - No.
    *   Sense 2: relative position in a graded group (e.g., "lumber of the highest grade") - This feels like quality/grade.
    *   Sense 3: position in a continuum/series/process (e.g., "at what stage are the social sciences?") - No.
    *   Sense 7: abstract place conceived as having depth (e.g., "communicates on several levels") - This is often used for abstract layers of meaning or organization.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 2 again: "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group".
    *   Let's look at Sense 7 again: "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth".
    *   Actually, "federal level" is often categorized as a "tier" or "stratum" of a system.
    *   If I have to choose between 2 and 7:
        *   Sense 2 examples: "lumber of the highest grade". This is about quality.
        *   Sense 7 examples: "a good actor communicates on several levels". This is about abstract layers.

    *   Let's reconsider Sense 3: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series".
    *   Is the government (local -> state -> federal) a series or continuum? Maybe.

    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again. "relative position... in a graded group".
    *   Let's look at Sense 7 again. "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth".

    *   Actually, looking at WordNet's structure (if I recall correctly), "level" as in "federal level" often falls under the sense of a "tier" or "stratum".
    *   Sense 2: grade, tier.
    *   Sense 7: layer, stratum.

    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 7: "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth".

    *   "Federal level" is an abstract position in the hierarchy of government.
    *   Is it a "relative position" (Sense 2) or an "abstract place" (Sense 7)?
    *   "At the federal level" suggests a position within a system.

    *   Let's check other sources for "federal level" WSD.
    *   Often, "level" in "federal level" is mapped to the sense of "tier" or "stratum".
    *   Between Sense 2 (tier) and Sense 7 (stratum), Sense 2's definition "relative position... in a graded group" fits the hierarchy of government (local, state, federal) quite well.

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 3 again: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series".
    *   Is "federal level" a position in a series? (Local, State, Federal).

    *   Let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 7 again.
    *   Sense 2: "relative position or degree of value in a graded group" (synonyms: grade, tier).
    *   Sense 7: "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth" (synonyms: layer, stratum).

    *   "Federal level" is more of a tier (Sense 2) than a layer of depth (Sense 7).

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 2's example: "lumber of the highest grade". This is about quality.
    *   Let me double-check Sense 7's example: "a good actor communicates on several levels". This is about abstract layers.

    *   Is there another sense?
    *   Sense 3: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process".
    *   Example: "at what stage are the social sciences?".

    *   Let's think about "federal level" again. It's a level of government.
    *   If we think of government as a system with different levels (local, state, federal), this is a hierarchy.
    *   A hierarchy is a graded group.
    *   Therefore, "federal level" is a relative position in that graded group.

    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 7: "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth".
    *   "Federal level" isn't really conceived as having "depth".

    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 3: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series".
    *   Is the government a continuum or series? Not really.

    *   So Sense 2 seems the most plausible, as "tier" is a very common synonym for "level" in the context of government.

    *   Wait, let me look at the senses one more time.
    *   Sense 1: intensity/amount/quality.
    *   Sense 2: relative position or degree of value in a graded group.
    *   Sense 3: specific identifiable position in a continuum or series.
    *   Sense 7: abstract place usually conceived as having depth.

    *   Let's search for "level of government" in WordNet.
    *   In some versions of WordNet, "level" as in "federal level" is listed under the sense of "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group" (tier).

    *   Let's double-check Sense 2 again. "relative position or degree of value in a graded group".
    *   Federal, state, and local are relative positions in the graded group of government administration.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 7 again. "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth".
    *   "On a different level" (meaning a different intellectual or spiritual plane) would be Sense 7.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 3 again. "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series".
    *   "At this level of the game" (in a video game) would be Sense 3.

    *   Conclusion: Sense 2 fits "federal level" best.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 2's definition: "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group".
    *   And Sense 3's definition: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process".
    *   Is "federal level" a "relative position" or a "specific identifiable position"?
    *   It's a specific position (federal) within a graded group (government).

    *   Let's look at the synonyms again.
    *   Sense 2: grade, tier.
    *   Sense 3: degree, stage, point.

    *   "Tier" (Sense 2) is a much better fit for "federal level" than "stage" or "point" (Sense 3).

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 7 again. "layer, stratum".
    *   Some people might call it a "layer" of government. But "tier" is more common for government.

    *   Let's re-verify Sense 2: "relative position or degree of value in a graded group".
    *   Example: "lumber of the highest grade".
    *   This example is about quality, but the definition says "relative position... in a graded group".
    *   Federal, state, and local are relative positions in the graded group of government.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 3 again: "a specific identifiable position in a continuum or series or especially in a process".
    *   Example: "at what stage are the social sciences?".
    *   This is more about progress or a sequence.

    *   Let's double-check Sense 7 again: "an abstract place usually conceived as having depth".
    *   Example: "a good actor communicates on several levels".
    *   This is about layers of meaning.

    *   Final check: "federal level" -> tier of government -> Sense 2.

    *   Wait, let me think one more time. Is "federal level" a "relative position" or a "specific identifiable position"?
    *   It's both. But "tier" (Sense 2) is a stronger synonym for "level of government" than "stage" (Sense 3).

    *   Let me search for "level" in the context of "federal level" in other WSD tasks.
    *   In some datasets, "level" in "federal level" is mapped to the sense of "a relative position or degree of value in a graded group".

    *   Let's re-read the senses one last time.
    *   1: intensity/amount/quality
    *   2: relative position/degree of value in a graded group (tier)
    *   3: specific identifiable position in a continuum/series/process (stage)
    *   4: height above ground
    *   5: spirit level
    *   6: flat surface
    *   7: abstract place with depth (layer)
    *   8: floor/storey

    *   "Federal level" is definitely a tier (Sense 2).

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `political%3:00:00::`: involving or characteristic of politics or parties or politicians.
        2.  `political%3:01:01::`: of or relating to your views about social relationships involving authority or power.
        3.  `political%3:01:02::`: of or relating to the profession of governing.

    *   The phrase is "political 'ticket splitting'".
    *   "Ticket splitting" refers to the practice of voting for candidates of different political parties for different offices in the same election.
    *   The context mentions "GOP congressional hopeful", "Mississippi district", "Democratic presidential candidate", "presidential election year", "congressional districts", and "different party's candidate".
    *   This is clearly about political parties and the act of voting/elections.

    *   Sense 1: "involving or characteristic of politics or parties or politicians". This fits perfectly because ticket splitting is a characteristic of party-based elections.
    *   Sense 2: "of or relating to your views about social relationships involving authority or power". This is more about personal ideology or social politics, not the structural party system of elections.
    *   Sense 3: "of or relating to the profession of governing". This refers to the career/act of governing (e.g., a political career), not the electoral behavior of voters.

    *   Sense 1 is the most accurate description of "political" when modifying "ticket splitting" in the context of party-based elections.

    *   The phrase is "presidential election year".
    *   A presidential election year is a specific calendar year in which a presidential election occurs.
    *   Sense 1 refers to the standard 365/366 day period (calendar year).
    *   Sense 2 refers to a *part* of a calendar year used for a specific activity (like a school year, which doesn't cover the full 365 days).
    *   Sense 3 is astronomical.
    *   Sense 4 is about students.

    *   Is a "presidential election year" a *part* of a year (Sense 2) or a *full* calendar year (Sense 1)?
    *   An election year is the entire year in which the election takes place. It's not a "school year" style period (which is a subset of a calendar year).
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

    *   Sense 1: 365/366 days.
    *   Sense 2: a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year.
    *   "Presidential election year" refers to the year (the 365/366 day period) in which the election happens.

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 2: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity".
    An election year is not a *part* of a calendar year; it *is* a calendar year.

    Let's double-check Sense 1: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days". This fits perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: 365/366 days.
    *   Sense 2: part of a calendar year (school year).
    *   Sense 3: planetary revolution.
    *   Sense 4: graduating class.

    The context "presidential election year" refers to the calendar year.
