Which numbered sense of "shadow" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the context below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Context: In fact, he had only mentioned him on the spur of the moment. His real grievance was Lolly. Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone. He looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the table, smiling a secret smile at him, as if they were fellow conspirators. He hadn't even noticed -- what was his name? Pete? -- he hadn't seen him sit down. The man was uncanny, like a <t>shadow</t>, and made as much noise as a shadow. Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man.

Senses:
1. definition=shade within clear boundaries
2. definition=an unilluminated area | synonyms=darkness, dark | examples=he moved off into the darkness
3. definition=something existing in perception only | synonyms=apparition, phantom, phantasm, phantasma, fantasm | examples=a ghostly apparition at midnight
4. definition=a premonition of something adverse | examples=a shadow over his happiness
5. definition=an indication that something has been present | synonyms=trace, vestige, tincture | examples=there wasn't a trace of evidence for the claim; a tincture of condescension

7. definition=a dominating and pervasive presence | examples=he received little recognition working in the shadow of his father
8. definition=a spy employed to follow someone and report their movements | synonyms=tail, shadower
9. definition=an inseparable companion | examples=the poor child was his mother's shadow

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The man was uncanny, like a <t>shadow</t>, and made as much noise as a shadow."
    *   Key descriptors: "uncanny", "made as much noise as a shadow", "hadn't even noticed... he hadn't seen him sit down".
    *   The man is being compared to a shadow because he is silent, stealthy, and almost ghost-like/unnoticeable.

    *   1. shade within clear boundaries (Literal shadow) - No.
    *   2. an unilluminated area (Darkness) - No.
    *   3. something existing in perception only (apparition, phantom) - This fits the "uncanny" and "ghost-like" feel.
    *   4. a premonition of something adverse - No.
    *   5. an indication that something has been present (trace) - No.
    *   6. refuge from danger or observation - No.
    *   7. a dominating and pervasive presence - No.
    *   8. a spy employed to follow someone - While the man is stealthy, the context "uncanny, like a shadow" and "made as much noise as a shadow" emphasizes the *nature* of his presence (silent, ghost-like) rather than his *profession* as a spy.
    *   9. an inseparable companion - No.

    *   The phrase "uncanny, like a shadow" suggests something eerie, spectral, or phantom-like.
    *   "Made as much noise as a shadow" emphasizes the silence and lack of physical presence.
    *   Sense 3: "something existing in perception only | synonyms=apparition, phantom, phantasm". This aligns with the "uncanny" and "ghostly" quality described.

    *   Wait, could it be Sense 8 (spy)? The man is a stranger, he appeared suddenly. But the text says "like a shadow", comparing him to the *concept* of a shadow (silent, intangible), not necessarily identifying him as a professional tail.
    *   Could it be Sense 1 (literal shadow)? "Made as much noise as a shadow" refers to the fact that literal shadows make no noise. "Like a shadow" refers to the quality of being silent and barely there.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "something existing in perception only | synonyms=apparition, phantom".
    *   Let's re-read the context: "The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow."
    *   If someone is "like a shadow," they are often described as being stealthy or ghost-like.
    *   Comparing a person to a shadow in terms of noise usually refers to the literal property of a shadow (silence).
    *   However, "uncanny" strongly points toward the phantom/apparition meaning (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 1: Literal shadow.
    *   Sense 3: Phantom/Apparition.
    *   Sense 8: Spy.
    *   The phrase "made as much noise as a shadow" is a simile comparing the man's silence to that of a literal shadow. But the overall description "uncanny, like a shadow" suggests the *quality* of being ghost-like.
    *   In many dictionaries, "shadow" used to describe a person who is stealthy or ghost-like falls under the "phantom/apparition" sense.

    *   "The man was uncanny, like a shadow..." -> He felt ghost-like.
    *   "...and made as much noise as a shadow." -> He was silent.
    *   This fits the "apparition/phantom" vibe (Sense 3) better than "spy" (Sense 8) or "literal shade" (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 3: "something existing in perception only | synonyms=apparition, phantom, phantasm".
    *   If the man is "like a shadow," he is being compared to something that is barely there, spectral, or phantom-like.

    *   Is it Sense 1? "shade within clear boundaries". If the author means "he was as silent as a literal shadow," then it's a simile using Sense 1.
    *   Is it Sense 3? "apparition, phantom". If the author means "he was like a ghost," then it's Sense 3.
    *   "Uncanny" usually pairs with "phantom/ghost".

    *   "The man was uncanny, like a shadow" -> This is the primary description.
    *   "made as much noise as a shadow" -> This reinforces the stealth/intangibility.
    *   Sense 3 (apparition/phantom) captures the "uncanny" nature.

    *   Sense 1: Literal shadow.
    *   Sense 3: Phantom.
    *   Sense 8: Spy.
    *   The man isn't necessarily a spy (though he might be), but he *feels* like a phantom.

    *   "Uncanny" = strange or mysterious, especially in an unsettling way.
    *   "Like a shadow" = silent, elusive, ghost-like.
    *   Sense 3 (apparition/phantom) is the best fit for "uncanny" and "like a shadow".

    *   Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor"
    *   Sense 5: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, do | examples=cause a commotion; make a stir"

    *   "Make noise" is a very common collocation.
    *   Does "make noise" fit better under "create" (Sense 3) or "cause to happen/occur" (Sense 5)?
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "make a mess", "create a furor".
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 5: "cause a commotion", "make a stir".
    *   "Make a stir" and "cause a commotion" are very similar to "make noise".
    *   Wait, let me re-examine Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor".
    *   Actually, "make noise" is often listed as "producing a sound".
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again. "Make a mess" is creating a state of disorder. "Create a furor" is creating a state of excitement.
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again. "Cause a commotion" is causing a disturbance. "Make a stir" is causing excitement.
    *   Is there another sense?
    *   Let's re-read the context: "made as much noise as a shadow."
    *   This means he produced sound.
    *   Looking at the options again, Sense 3 (create) and Sense 5 (cause to happen) are the closest.
    *   In many dictionaries, "make noise" is categorized under "produce" or "create".
    *   Let's compare "make a mess" (Sense 3) and "make a stir" (Sense 5).
    *   "Make a mess" is more about the result (the mess).
    *   "Make a stir" is more about the effect/occurrence.
    *   "Make noise" is the production of sound.
    *   Let's check if "make noise" fits better in Sense 3 or Sense 5.
    *   Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create"
    *   Sense 5: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, do"
    *   If you "make noise", you are creating sound.
    *   If you "make a stir", you are causing a reaction.
    *   "Make noise" is more like "create sound" than "cause a reaction".
    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 3 again: "make a mess in one's office; create a furor". "Create a furor" is very similar to "make a stir".
    *   Let me re-evaluate Sense 3 and Sense 5.
    *   Sense 3: create (make a mess, create a furor)
    *   Sense 5: cause to happen (cause a commotion, make a stir)
    *   Actually, "create a furor" and "make a stir" are almost identical. This is confusing.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms. Sense 3: create. Sense 5: cause, do.
    *   "Make noise" -> "Create noise" or "Cause noise"? "Create noise" is more common.
    *   Let's look at other possibilities. Could it be Sense 1 (engage in/do)? "Do noise" - No.
    *   Could it be Sense 16 (perform or carry out)? "Perform noise" - No.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again. "Make a mess" (create a state of messiness). "Make noise" (create a state of noisiness/produce sound).
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again. "Cause a commotion" (cause a disturbance).
    *   Actually, "make noise" is often grouped with "make a sound", "make a mistake" (though that's Sense 24), "make a move" (Sense 16).
    *   Wait, "make a mess" (Sense 3) and "make noise" are both about producing something that wasn't there.
    *   Let's double-check Sense 3 and Sense 5 again.
    *   Sense 3: make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor
    *   Sense 5: give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, do | examples=cause a commotion; make a stir
    *   "Make noise" is the production of sound. "Create" (Sense 3) seems more appropriate for the production of something (even if it's intangible like noise or a mess).

    *   Wait, let me search for "make noise" in a dictionary.
    *   Merriam-Webster: "to produce a sound"
    *   Oxford: "produce a sound"
    *   "Produce" is a synonym for "create" (Sense 3, Sense 6). Sense 6 is for man-made products. Sense 3 is more general.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 5: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur".
    *   Does "make noise" mean "cause noise to happen"? Yes.
    *   Does "make noise" mean "create noise"? Yes.
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 3: "make a mess", "create a furor".
    *   Sense 5: "cause a commotion", "make a stir".
    *   "Furor", "commotion", and "stir" are all very similar (meaning a state of excitement or disturbance).
    *   If "create a furor" is Sense 3 and "make a stir" is Sense 5, the difference must be subtle.
    *   "Create a furor" (Sense 3) - the focus is on the creation of the state.
    *   "Make a stir" (Sense 5) - the focus is on causing the event to occur.
    *   "Make noise" is the production of sound.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "make or cause to be or to become".
    *   If you make noise, you cause the environment to be noisy.
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur".
    *   If you make noise, you cause a sound to occur.
    *   This is very close. Let's think about "make a mess" (Sense 3). You create a mess. You make noise.
    *   Let's look at "make a stir" (Sense 5). You cause a stir.
    *   Actually, "make noise" is more like "make a mess" (creating something) than "make a stir" (causing a reaction).

    *   Wait, let me look at the senses one more time. Is there any other sense?
    *   Sense 1: engage in (do)
    *   Sense 3: create (make a mess)
    *   Sense 5: cause to happen (cause a commotion)
    *   Let's try to find "make noise" in a similar sense list.
    *   In many WordNet-based sense lists (which this looks like), "make noise" is often under "produce" or "create".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor"
    *   Let's re-read Sense 5: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, do | examples=cause a commotion; make a stir"
    *   If I have to choose between "create" and "cause to happen", "create" (Sense 3) feels slightly better for "make noise".

    *   Wait, let me think about "make a noise" vs "make noise".
    *   "He made a noise" (produced a sound).
    *   "He made noise" (was noisy).
    *   In the context: "made as much noise as a shadow."
    *   This means he produced very little sound.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again. "Make a mess" - you create a state of messiness. "Make noise" - you create a state of noisiness.
    *   Let's look at Sense 5 again. "Cause a commotion" - you cause a disturbance.
    *   Actually, "make noise" is very similar to "make a commotion".
    *   Let me search for "make noise" in WordNet.
    *   WordNet has "make" as "produce" (e.g., "make a noise").
    *   Looking at the provided senses, "create" (Sense 3) and "produce" (Sense 6) are there. Sense 6 is for "man-made products". Sense 3 is "make or cause to be or to become".
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor".
    *   This seems to be the most plausible fit for "make noise".

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 5 again. "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, do | examples=cause a commotion; make a stir".
    *   If you "make noise", you are causing sound to occur.
    *   Let's compare "make a mess" (3) and "make a stir" (5).
    *   A mess is a thing (a state of things). A stir is an event/reaction.
    *   Noise is more like a mess (a thing/state) than a stir (a reaction).
    *   Wait, "create a furor" (3) and "make a stir" (5) are so similar.
    *   "Furor" (a state of excitement) and "Stir" (a state of excitement).
    *   If "create a furor" is 3 and "make a stir" is 5, then the difference is "create" vs "cause to happen".
    *   "Make noise" is "producing sound".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms again. Sense 3: create. Sense 5: cause, do.
    *   "Create noise" is a common phrase. "Cause noise" is less common.
    *   Therefore, Sense 3 is more likely.

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 3 again. "make or cause to be or to become".
    *   If you make noise, you cause the environment to be noisy.
    *   Let me look at Sense 5 again. "give rise to; cause to happen or occur".
    *   If you make noise, you cause a sound to occur.
    *   Let me search for "make noise" in other contexts.
    *   "Don't make so much noise!"
    *   This is about the production of sound.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 3 again: "make a mess in one's office; create a furor".
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 5 again: "cause a commotion; make a stir".
    *   Actually, "make a stir" and "make a noise" are both very common.
    *   Let me think... "make a noise" (produce a sound).
    *   Is "noise" more like a "mess" or a "commotion"?
    *   A "commotion" is often *made of* noise.
    *   "He made a commotion" = "He made a lot of noise and activity".
    *   So "make noise" is the basic action, and "make a commotion" is the result.
    *   This would suggest "make noise" is more like "create" (Sense 3).

    *   Let me double-check all other senses one last time.
    *   Sense 1: engage in (do) - "make love", "make an effort".
    *   Sense 16: perform or carry out - "make a decision", "make a move".
    *   Sense 24: carry out or commit - "make a mistake".
    *   None of these fit "make noise" as well as Sense 3 or 5.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 5: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, do | examples=cause a commotion; make a stir".
    *   If I have to choose, "create" (Sense 3) is a better synonym for "produce (noise)" than "cause" (Sense 5).

    *   Wait, let me search for "make noise" in a WordNet-based dictionary.
    *   In some WordNet versions, "make" (produce) is used for "make a noise".
    *   Let's see if "produce" is in any of the senses.
    *   Sense 6: "create or manufacture a man-made product | synonyms=produce, create". (But this is for man-made products like cars and toys).
    *   Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create".
    *   So Sense 3 is the most general "create" sense.

    *   Let's think about "make a noise" again.
    *   If you "make a noise", you are creating a sound.
    *   If you "make a mess", you are creating a state of disorder.
    *   If you "create a furor", you are creating a state of excitement.
    *   These all fit Sense 3.

Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone.

    *   Looking back at the senses:
        *   Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor"
        *   Sense 5: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, do | examples=cause a commotion; make a stir"

    *   "Make a noise" is a very common collocation.
    *   Is it "creating" noise (Sense 3) or "causing" noise (Sense 5)?
    *   Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become" (create a mess, create a furor).
    *   Sense 5: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur" (cause a commotion, make a stir).

    Let's re-examine Sense 3 and Sense 5.
    Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor"
    Sense 5: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, do | examples=cause a commotion; make a stir"

    Wait, "make a noise" is often categorized as "producing" a sound.
    Let's look at the examples again.
    Sense 3: "make a mess", "create a furor".
    Sense 5: "cause a commotion", "make a stir".

    Actually, "make a noise" is very similar to "make a mess" or "make a stir".
    Let's look at other options. Could it be Sense 1 (engage in/do)? No.

    Let's compare Sense 3 and Sense 5 again.
    Sense 3: create (a mess, a furor).
    Sense 5: cause to happen (a commotion, a stir).

    "Make noise" is more like "producing" something.
    If I "make a noise", I am creating a sound.
    If I "make a stir", I am causing a reaction.

    Let's look at Sense 3 again: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create".
    Let's look at Sense 5 again: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur".

    "Make noise" is more about the production of the sound itself.
    Let's check if there's any other sense.
    Sense 6: "create or manufacture a man-made product" - No.
    Sense 16: "perform or carry out" - No.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 3 and 5.
    Sense 3: make a mess, create a furor.
    Sense 5: cause a commotion, make a stir.

    "Make a noise" is very similar to "make a mess" (Sense 3). Both involve producing something (a mess, a noise).
    "Make a stir" (Sense 5) is more about the effect on others.

    Wait, let me look at the senses again. Is there any other?
    Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor"
    Sense 5: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, do | examples=cause a commotion; make a stir"

    If you "make noise", you are creating sound.
    If you "make a stir", you are causing a reaction.
    "Make a noise" fits better with "make a mess" (Sense 3) than "make a stir" (Sense 5).

    Let's double-check.
    "He made as much noise as a shadow."
    This means he produced very little sound.
    Producing sound = creating sound.
    Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create".

    Let's check Sense 5 again: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur".
    "Make a noise" could be "cause noise to happen".

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "make a mess", "create a furor".
    Let's look at the examples for Sense 5: "cause a commotion", "make a stir".

    A "furor" and a "commotion" are very similar. A "mess" and "noise" are both things produced.

    Let's search for "make noise" in a dictionary.
    Merriam-Webster: "to produce a sound".
    Oxford: "to produce a sound".

    "Produce" is a synonym for "create".
    Sense 3 synonym: "create".
    Sense 5 synonym: "cause, do".

    Therefore, Sense 3 seems more appropriate.

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 5: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, do | examples=cause a commotion; make a stir".
    "Make a noise" is often unintentional.

    Let's re-read Sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor".

    Actually, "make a noise" is very similar to "make a mess". Both are things you "make" (produce).

    Let's think if there are any other possibilities.
    Sense 1: engage in (do) - "make love", "make an effort".
    Sense 16: perform or carry out - "make a decision", "make a move".

    No, Sense 3 or 5.
    Let's compare "make a mess" (3) and "make a stir" (5).
    "Make a mess" = produce a mess.
    "Make a stir" = cause a stir.
    "Make a noise" = produce a noise.

    "Produce" is closer to "create" (Sense 3) than to "give rise to" (Sense 5).

    Let's double-check Sense 3 again. "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor".
    Wait, "create a furor" is in Sense 3.
    And "cause a commotion" is in Sense 5.
    "Furor" and "commotion" are almost identical. This makes the distinction between 3 and 5 very thin.

    Let's look at the examples again.
    Sense 3: make a mess, create a furor.
    Sense 5: cause a commotion, make a stir.

    If "create a furor" is Sense 3 and "cause a commotion" is Sense 5, then the difference might be "create" vs "cause".
    "Make a noise" is more like "creating" a sound.

    Let's try Sense 3.

    Wait, let me look at the examples one more time.
    Sense 3: make a mess, create a furor.
    Sense 5: cause a commotion, make a stir.

    Is there any other sense?
    Sense 12: "to compose or represent: | synonyms=form, constitute | examples=This wall forms the background of the stage setting; The branches made a roof" - No.

    Let's think about "make noise" again.
    If I say "Stop making so much noise!", I mean "Stop producing so much sound!".
    If I say "He made a noise", it means he produced a sound.

    Let's look at Sense 3 again: "make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create".
    Let's look at Sense 5 again: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur".

    Actually, "make a noise" is often listed as "producing" something.
    Let's search for "make a noise" in a sense-tagged corpus if possible.
    In many dictionaries, "make a noise" is under the sense of "produce".

    Let's re-examine the provided senses.
    Sense 3: create.
    Sense 5: cause.

    If "create a furor" is 3 and "cause a commotion" is 5, then the distinction is very subtle.
    However, "make a mess" is definitely 3.
    "Make a noise" is very similar to "make a mess".

    Let's try 3.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a <t>shadow</t>."
    *   Key phrases: "uncanny", "like a shadow", "made as much noise as a shadow".
    *   Meaning: The man is being described as silent, barely noticeable, almost ghost-like or intangible in his movements.

    *   1. shade within clear boundaries (literal shadow)
    *   2. an unilluminated area (darkness)
    *   3. something existing in perception only (apparition, phantom)
    *   4. a premonition of something adverse (metaphorical shadow)
    *   5. an indication that something has been present (trace)
    *   6. refuge from danger or observation (protection)
    *   7. a dominating and pervasive presence (influence)
    *   8. a spy employed to follow someone (tail)
    *   9. an inseparable companion (constant companion)

    *   The phrase "made as much noise as a shadow" is a simile. Shadows are silent.
    *   The phrase "The man was uncanny, like a shadow" suggests he is elusive, silent, and perhaps ghost-like.
    *   Sense 3 (apparition, phantom) fits the "uncanny" and "ghostly" vibe.
    *   However, is it Sense 3 or Sense 1/2?
    *   Wait, "made as much noise as a shadow" refers to the *silence* associated with a shadow.
    *   Let's look at the senses again.
    *   Sense 1: shade within clear boundaries.
    *   Sense 2: unilluminated area.
    *   Sense 3: something existing in perception only (apparition, phantom).
    *   Sense 8: a spy.
    *   Sense 9: an inseparable companion.

    *   "The man was uncanny, like a shadow" -> He is like a ghost or a phantom.
    *   "made as much noise as a shadow" -> He is silent.
    *   Does "shadow" here mean a literal shadow (Sense 1) used as a comparison for silence, or does it mean a phantom (Sense 3)?
    *   Usually, "silent as a shadow" refers to the quality of a shadow (which is a projection of light/darkness).
    *   But "uncanny, like a shadow" strongly suggests the phantom/apparition meaning (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 1: "shade within clear boundaries" (The literal image of a shadow).
    *   Sense 3: "something existing in perception only | synonyms=apparition, phantom".
    *   If someone is "uncanny" and "like a shadow", they are often being compared to a ghost.
    *   Let's check if "made as much noise as a shadow" is a common idiom. It's not a standard idiom, but it implies silence.
    *   If the man is "uncanny" and "like a shadow", he is being described as ghost-like.

    *   Sense 1: Literal shadow.
    *   Sense 3: Phantom/Apparition.
    *   The text says "The man was uncanny, like a shadow". This points toward Sense 3.
    *   "made as much noise as a shadow" - a phantom/ghost is also silent.

    *   Is it Sense 8 (spy)? The man is sitting across from him, but there's no indication he's a hired spy following him.
    *   Is it Sense 9 (companion)? No.
    *   Is it Sense 1 (literal shadow)? A literal shadow makes no noise.
    *   Is it Sense 3 (phantom)? A phantom makes no noise and is uncanny.

    *   "Uncanny" means strange or mysterious, especially in an unsettling way.
    *   "Like a shadow" in this context emphasizes the man's stealth and ghost-like presence.
    *   Sense 3 (apparition, phantom) aligns best with "uncanny".

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 1: "shade within clear boundaries".
    *   If the author meant "he was as silent as a literal shadow", that's a comparison to the physical phenomenon.
    *   If the author meant "he was like a ghost", that's Sense 3.
    *   "The man was uncanny, like a shadow" -> This phrasing strongly suggests the phantom/ghost meaning.

    *   Sense 3: apparition, phantom, phantasm.
    *   This fits "uncanny" and the general mood of the passage (bloodshot eyes, secret smile, not noticing him sit down).

    *   Could it be Sense 1? "made as much noise as a shadow". A shadow (the dark area) makes no noise.
    *   But "uncanny, like a shadow" pushes it toward Sense 3.

    *   Let's look at the context again: "He hadn't even noticed... he hadn't seen him sit down. The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow."
    *   The focus is on his stealth and his eerie presence.
    *   Sense 3 (apparition/phantom) captures both the stealth and the eeriness.

    *   Sense 1: Literal shadow.
    *   Sense 3: Phantom.
    *   In many dictionaries, "shadow" meaning "a ghost" is a distinct sense.
    *   Example: "a shadow of his former self" (different sense).
    *   Example: "the shadows of the night" (Sense 2).
    *   Example: "he followed her like a shadow" (Sense 9 or 8).
    *   Example: "a shadow passed across his face" (Sense 1 or 4).
    *   Example: "a shadow of a doubt" (Sense 5).
    *   Example: "the shadow of the mountain" (Sense 1).
    *   Example: "he was but a shadow" (Sense 3).

    *   The word "uncanny" is the key. It links "shadow" to the supernatural or ghostly.

    *   Sense 3: "something existing in perception only | synonyms=apparition, phantom, phantasm, phantasma, fantasm".
    *   This fits perfectly with "uncanny" and the stealthy, almost invisible arrival of the man.

Which numbered sense of "shrink" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the context below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Context: His real grievance was Lolly. Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone. He looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the table, smiling a secret smile at him, as if they were fellow conspirators. He hadn't even noticed -- what was his name? Pete? -- he hadn't seen him sit down. The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow. Haney felt like <t>shrinking</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=wither, as with a loss of moisture | synonyms=shrivel, shrivel up, wither | examples=The fruit dried and shriveled
2. definition=draw back, as with fear or pain | synonyms=flinch, squinch, funk, cringe, wince, recoil | examples=she flinched when they showed the slaughtering of the calf
3. definition=reduce in size; reduce physically | synonyms=reduce | examples=Hot water will shrink the sweater; Can you shrink this image?
4. definition=become smaller or draw together | synonyms=contract | examples=The fabric shrank; The balloon shrank
5. definition=decrease in size, range, or extent | synonyms=shrivel | examples=His earnings shrank; My courage shrivelled when I saw the task before me

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Haney felt like <t>shrinking</t> out of sight, but he was already trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man."
    *   Target word: "shrinking" (from "shrink").
    *   Meaning in context: Haney feels uncomfortable, intimidated, or anxious in the presence of the stranger and wants to disappear or withdraw from view.

    *   Sense 1: wither, as with a loss of moisture (e.g., fruit shriveling). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   Sense 2: draw back, as with fear or pain (synonyms: flinch, cringe, recoil). -> *Matches the feeling of wanting to withdraw due to discomfort/fear.*
    *   Sense 3: reduce in size; reduce physically (e.g., shrinking a sweater). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   Sense 4: become smaller or draw together (e.g., fabric shrank). -> *Incorrect.*
    *   Sense 5: decrease in size, range, or extent (e.g., earnings shrank). -> *Incorrect.*

    *   "Shrinking out of sight" is a common idiom meaning to try to make oneself unnoticed or to withdraw because of embarrassment, fear, or a desire to avoid attention.
    *   This aligns best with Sense 2 (draw back, as with fear or pain). While "shrinking out of sight" isn't exactly "flinching," it describes the psychological and physical impulse to withdraw/recoil from a situation.

    *   Sense 2 is the only one that captures the emotional/behavioral aspect of withdrawing from a person or situation.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already <t>trapped</t> in the corner with the wiry, dark little man."
    *   Key elements: Haney feels uncomfortable/threatened, he wants to shrink out of sight, he is "in the corner" with a stranger who seems uncanny.

    *   Sense 1: "place in a confining or embarrassing position" (synonym: pin down). Example: "He was trapped in a difficult situation."
    *   Sense 2: "catch in or as if in a trap" (synonyms: entrap, snare). Example: "The men trap foxes."
    *   Sense 3: "hold or catch as if in a trap". Example: "The gaps between the teeth trap food particles."
    *   Sense 4: "to hold fast or prevent from moving" (synonyms: pin, immobilize). Example: "The child was pinned under the fallen tree."

    *   Is it Sense 2 or 3? No, he wasn't caught in a physical trap (like a snare) or a mechanical trap.
    *   Is it Sense 4? No, he isn't physically immobilized (like being under a tree). He can move, but he feels stuck/cornered.
    *   Is it Sense 1? Yes. He is in a confining position (physically in the corner, but more importantly, psychologically/socially cornered by the presence of the uncanny man). He feels he cannot escape the interaction.

    *   The phrase "trapped in the corner" often blends physical location with the feeling of being cornered or put in a difficult position.
    *   Sense 1 specifically mentions "confining or embarrassing position." Being cornered by a mysterious man while intoxicated and feeling vulnerable fits this description.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already trapped in the <t>corner</t> with the wiry, dark little man."
    *   Key phrase: "trapped in the corner".
    *   Emotional tone: Feeling trapped, uneasy, feeling the presence of an uncanny man.

    *   Sense 1: Place off to the side (e.g., rightfield corner).
    *   Sense 2: Point where two lines meet (e.g., corners of a rectangle).
    *   Sense 3: Interior angle formed by two walls (e.g., piano in the corner).

    *   Sense 10: Remote area (e.g., corners of the world).
    *   Sense 11: Solid exterior angle of a building (e.g., quoin).

    *   The phrase "trapped in the corner" can be literal (Sense 3 - physically in a corner of a room) or figurative (Sense 8 - in a predicament).
    *   Looking at the context: "He looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the table... Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man."
    *   They are sitting at a table. "Trapped in the corner" here likely refers to the physical location (the table is in a corner of the room/bar) or the feeling of being cornered/trapped.
    *   Wait, let's re-read: "sitting across the table... trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man."
    *   If they are at a table, and he feels "trapped in the corner," it most likely refers to the physical space (Sense 3) or the metaphorical predicament (Sense 8).
    *   However, "trapped in the corner" is a very common idiom for being in a predicament (Sense 8). But in this specific scene, they are physically in a bar/restaurant at a table.
    *   Let's look at Sense 8 again: "a predicament from which a skillful or graceful escape is impossible".
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "an interior angle formed by two meeting walls".
    *   If he is "trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man," it suggests the physical space is confining him.
    *   Let's re-evaluate the phrase "trapped in the corner". Usually, "cornered" means Sense 8. "Trapped in the corner" often implies a physical corner (Sense 3) that makes the person feel trapped.
    *   Wait, let's look at the context again. "He looked up... beheld the stranger sitting across the table... Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man."
    *   If they are sitting at a table, and the table is in a corner, he is physically in that corner.
    *   Is it a predicament (Sense 8)? He feels uneasy and wants to shrink out of sight.
    *   Let's compare Sense 3 and Sense 8.
    *   Sense 3: "a piano was in one corner of the room"
    *   Sense 8: "his lying got him into a tight corner"
    *   "Trapped in the corner" sounds more like a physical location that is creating a feeling of being trapped. If it were Sense 8, it would more likely be "trapped in a corner" or "cornered."
    *   Actually, "trapped in the corner" often refers to the physical space. Let's check if "the corner" (definite article) points more toward a specific physical location (Sense 3) than a general predicament (Sense 8).
    *   "the corner" suggests a specific place they are currently in.

    *   "He looked up... beheld the stranger sitting across the table... trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man."
    *   The table is likely in a corner of the room. He is physically there.
    *   If it were Sense 8, it would be "trapped in a corner" (a predicament).
    *   The use of "the corner" strongly implies a physical location.

    *   Sense 1: Place off to the side.
    *   Sense 3: Interior angle formed by two walls.
    *   Sense 8: Predicament.
    *   In a bar/restaurant, a table in "the corner" is a physical location (Sense 3).

    *   "trapped in the corner"
    *   If I am in a room and I am "trapped in the corner," I am physically in the corner of the room.
    *   If I am "in a tight corner," I am in a predicament.
    *   The context describes a physical scene (table, glass, sitting across).

    *   Sense 3 is the most likely fit for a physical corner of a room.

Context: Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone. He looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the table, smiling a secret smile at him, as if they were fellow conspirators. He hadn't even noticed -- what was his name? Pete? -- he hadn't seen him sit down. The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow. Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man. He began to <t>wish</t> 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?

    *   Target word: "wish"

    *   Sense 1: hope for; have a wish (Example: "I wish I could go home now") - This often expresses a desire for a situation to be different from how it actually is (counterfactual or longing).
    *   Sense 2: prefer or wish to do something (Example: "Do you care to try this dish?") - This is more about preference or inclination.
    *   Sense 3: make or express a wish (Example: "I wish that Christmas were over") - This is similar to Sense 1, but focuses on the act of making/expressing the wish.
    *   Sense 4: feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of (Example: "wish well") - This is about wishing something for someone else.

    *   The character is reflecting on a past action ("hadn't shouted") and expressing regret or a desire that the past had been different.
    *   This fits the pattern of "I wish [something were different/had been different]."

    *   Sense 1: "hope for; have a wish" (Example: "I wish I could go home now"). This matches the feeling of wanting a different reality.
    *   Sense 3: "make or express a wish" (Example: "I wish that Christmas were over"). This is very close.

    *Wait, let's look closer at Sense 1 vs Sense 3.*
    Sense 1: "hope for; have a wish"
    Sense 3: "make or express a wish"

    In the context "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted," is he *making/expressing* a wish (out loud or formally) or is he *feeling* the desire/regret?
    "He began to wish" suggests an internal feeling of regret/longing for a different outcome.

    Let's re-examine the examples:
    Sense 1: "I wish I could go home now" (Internal desire/longing for a different state).
    Sense 3: "I wish that Christmas were over" (This also looks like an internal desire).

    Wait, looking at the provided senses again:
    1. hope for; have a wish
    3. make or express a wish

    Usually, "I wish I had..." is a standard expression of regret (Sense 1). Sense 3 ("make or express a wish") often refers to the act of wishing (like wishing on a star or formally stating a wish). However, the example "I wish that Christmas were over" is provided for Sense 3.

    Let's compare:
    "I wish I could go home now" (Sense 1)
    "I wish that Christmas were over" (Sense 3)

    These examples are almost identical in function. Let me re-read the definitions.
    Sense 1: "hope for; have a wish"
    Sense 3: "make or express a wish"

    In "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted," he is feeling the regret. He isn't necessarily "making" a wish in the sense of a ritual or a formal request. He is "having a wish" (longing for the past to be different).

    Actually, looking at common dictionary structures (like WordNet), Sense 1 is often the general "desire" and Sense 3 might be the "expression" of it.

    Let's look at the context again: "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted..."
    This is a classic expression of regret.
    Sense 1: "hope for; have a wish"
    Sense 3: "make or express a wish"

    If Sense 1 is "hope for; have a wish" and Sense 3 is "make or express a wish", the internal feeling of regret fits "have a wish" (Sense 1) better than "make or express a wish" (Sense 3).

    Wait, let me re-read the examples provided in the prompt:
    Sense 1: "I wish I could go home now"
    Sense 3: "I wish that Christmas were over"

    These examples are incredibly similar. Is there a subtle difference?
    "I wish I could go home now" -> Desire for a current change.
    "I wish that Christmas were over" -> Desire for a current state to end.

    "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted" -> Desire for a past event to have been different.

    Both Sense 1 and Sense 3 seem to cover this. However, "hope for; have a wish" (Sense 1) is the most fundamental meaning of wanting something to be different.

    Let's check if there's another interpretation.
    Sense 2: prefer (No)
    Sense 4: wish well (No)
    Sense 5: order politely (No)
    Sense 6: invoke upon (No)

    Between 1 and 3:
    Sense 1: hope for; have a wish.
    Sense 3: make or express a wish.

    "He began to wish" implies the onset of the feeling. "Having a wish" (Sense 1) fits the internal state of regret better than "making/expressing a wish" (Sense 3).

    Let's double-check the examples again.
    1. I wish I could go home now.
    3. I wish that Christmas were over.

    If the prompt provides these two, it's trying to distinguish between them.
    Sense 1: "hope for; have a wish"
    Sense 3: "make or express a wish"

    In "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted," he is not expressing it to anyone. He is feeling it. Therefore, "have a wish" (Sense 1) is more accurate than "express a wish" (Sense 3).

    Wait, let me look at the examples one more time.
    Sense 1: "I wish I could go home now"
    Sense 3: "I wish that Christmas were over"
    These are both internal desires. This is confusing. Let me search for these specific definitions. They look like they might come from a specific dictionary (like WordNet).

    In WordNet:
    wish.n.01: a desire or hope
    wish.v.01: hope for; have a wish
    wish.v.02: prefer or wish to do something
    wish.v.03: make or express a wish
    wish.v.04: feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of
    wish.v.05: order politely; express a wish for
    wish.v.06: invoke upon

    Okay, so:
    v.01: hope for; have a wish (e.g., "I wish I could go home now")
    v.03: make or express a wish (e.g., "I wish that Christmas were over")

    Wait, if "I wish that Christmas were over" is v.03 (make or express), then "I wish I could go home now" is v.01 (hope for; have a wish).

    Is there a difference between "I wish I could go home now" and "I wish that Christmas were over"?
    One is a desire for a possibility ("could"), the other is a desire for a state to be different ("were").

    Actually, "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted" is a desire for a past state to be different. This is very similar to "I wish that Christmas were over" (desire for a current state to be different).

    But "He began to wish" strongly suggests the internal feeling ("have a wish") rather than the act of "making" a wish.

    Let's re-evaluate:
    Sense 1: hope for; have a wish.
    Sense 3: make or express a wish.

    If he "began to wish," he is experiencing the feeling.

    Let's look at the examples again.
    1. I wish I could go home now.
    3. I wish that Christmas were over.

    If "I wish that Christmas were over" is Sense 3, then Sense 3 might be used for "I wish [that]..." constructions.
    "He began to wish [that] he hadn't shouted..."

    Wait, "I wish I could go home now" is also "I wish [that] I could go home now."

    Let's think about "make or express a wish." Usually, that means "I wish for a million dollars" or "He wished upon a star." But the example given is "I wish that Christmas were over." This is very strange.

    Let's try to find the source of these definitions. They are definitely WordNet.
    WordNet wish.v.01: hope for; have a wish.
    WordNet wish.v.03: make or express a wish.

    In many WordNet-based datasets, "I wish I could go home now" is the example for wish.v.01.
    And "I wish that Christmas were over" is the example for wish.v.03.

    Wait, if "I wish that Christmas were over" is the example for "make or express a wish," then the "express" part might just be the act of saying the words "I wish..."

    But in the context "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted," he is not necessarily saying the words. He is feeling the regret.

    Let's look at the phrase "began to wish." This almost always refers to the internal feeling.

    If I have to choose between "hope for; have a wish" and "make or express a wish," "have a wish" is the internal state.

    Let's re-read:
    Sense 1: hope for; have a wish
    Sense 3: make or express a wish

    "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted" = He began to have a wish that he hadn't shouted.

    Let's double-check the examples again.
    1. I wish I could go home now.
    3. I wish that Christmas were over.

    If these are the only examples, the distinction is very fine. However, "hope for; have a wish" is the most general sense of desiring something.

    Let's consider if it could be Sense 3. "Make or express a wish." If the character is thinking "I wish I hadn't shouted," is he "making" a wish in his head? Possibly. But "having a wish" is more natural for a feeling of regret.

    Let's search for "wish that he hadn't" in similar contexts. It's almost always the sense of regret/longing.

    Final check:
    Context: "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted..."
    Sense 1: hope for; have a wish.
    Sense 3: make or express a wish.

    "Began to wish" -> The process of starting to feel the desire/regret.
    This fits "have a wish" (Sense 1) better than "make or express a wish" (Sense 3).

    *   Key elements: "shouted", "that other evening", "when the truck bore down through the crossing".
    *   Scenario: A character (Haney) is reflecting on a past event involving a truck coming through a crossing. He regrets "shouting".

    *   Sense 1: Utter in a loud voice (general manner of speaking, e.g., because someone is hard of hearing).
    *   Sense 2: Utter a sudden loud cry (e.g., pain, calling from a window, yelling).
    *   Sense 3: Utter aloud with surprise, horror, or joy (exclaiming).
    *   Sense 4: Use foul or abusive language towards someone (abuse).

    *   The context describes a high-stress situation ("truck bore down through the crossing").
    *   In such a situation, "shouting" usually means yelling out in alarm, warning, or fear.
    *   Sense 1 is about a general manner of speaking (too quiet/loud). Not a fit.
    *   Sense 2 is about a sudden loud cry (yell, scream, holler). This fits a reaction to a truck bearing down.
    *   Sense 3 is about exclaiming with surprise, horror, or joy. This also fits (horror/alarm).
    *   Sense 4 is about abusive language. There is no indication he was abusing the truck or the driver.

    *   Sense 2: "utter a sudden loud cry" (synonyms: yell, scream, holler).
    *   Sense 3: "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy" (synonyms: exclaim, cry out).
    *   In the context of a truck bearing down, the action is likely a sudden cry of alarm or warning.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 2: "she cried with pain", "I yelled to her from the window".
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 3: "`I won!' he exclaimed", "`Help!' she cried".
    *   Usually, "shouting" in a moment of danger (truck crossing) is a sudden loud cry (Sense 2) or an exclamation of horror/alarm (Sense 3).
    *   However, Sense 2 is the more general "yell/scream/holler" which fits the physical act of shouting in a crisis. Sense 3 is more about the *content* of the exclamation.
    *   Wait, let's re-read the context. "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted that other evening when the truck bore down through the crossing."
    *   If he shouted a warning or a scream of terror, Sense 2 is the most direct fit for the physical act of yelling.
    *   Let's check if there's any nuance I missed. Is it possible he "shouted" (abused) the driver? "shouted that other evening when the truck bore down through the crossing." It's possible, but usually, "shouted" without "at [someone]" in this context implies the act of yelling. If it were Sense 4, it would typically be "shouted at the driver".
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 3 again:
        *   Sense 2: sudden loud cry (yell, scream, holler).
        *   Sense 3: utter aloud (exclaim, cry out).
    *   In many dictionaries, Sense 2 is the primary meaning of "shout" as a loud call or yell.

    *   Sense 2: "utter a sudden loud cry"
    *   Sense 3: "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy"
    *   A truck bearing down is a situation of horror/alarm.
    *   However, "shouted" in the sense of "yelled" is most commonly mapped to Sense 2.

    *   "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted..."
    *   If he yelled a warning or screamed, it's Sense 2.
    *   If he exclaimed "Look out!", it's Sense 3.
    *   Usually, in these NLP tasks, the most general "yell" sense is preferred unless it's a specific exclamation. Sense 2 covers "yell, scream, holler".

    *   Sense 1: Manner of speaking. (No)
    *   Sense 2: Sudden loud cry/yell. (Yes)
    *   Sense 3: Exclaim with emotion. (Possible, but Sense 2 is more fundamental to the act of shouting in danger).
    *   Sense 4: Abuse. (Unlikely without "at").

    *Self-Correction:* Let's look at the examples for Sense 2 again: "she cried with pain", "I yelled to her from the window". These are sudden loud cries. A truck bearing down would trigger a sudden loud cry.

    *Wait*, let's look at Sense 3 again: "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy". "Help!" she cried.
    If he shouted "Look out!", that's an exclamation.

    Actually, looking at the provided senses, Sense 2 is "utter a sudden loud cry" and Sense 3 is "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy". In the context of a truck bearing down, the shout is likely a reaction of horror or a warning.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
    Sense 2: yell, scream, holler.
    Sense 3: exclaim, cry out.

    In the sentence "he hadn't shouted that other evening", it's more likely he yelled (Sense 2) than he made a specific exclamation (Sense 3), although they overlap. Most people would categorize a shout of alarm as a "yell" (Sense 2).

    Let's double-check Sense 4. Could he have shouted *at* the driver? "shouted that other evening when the truck bore down". It doesn't say "shouted at the driver". It just says "shouted". While "shout" can mean "abuse" (Sense 4), it almost always requires a target ("shouted at him").

    Therefore, Sense 2 is the most probable.

    *Wait*, let me think about the context again. "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted that other evening when the truck bore down through the crossing."
    If he shouted a warning, he might be regretting it because it drew attention to him or the stranger.
    Sense 2: "utter a sudden loud cry".
    Sense 3: "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy".

    Actually, "shout" in the sense of "yell" is most commonly Sense 2.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 2 again: "I yelled to her from the window". This is a loud call.
    Sense 3: "`Help!' she cried". This is an exclamation.

    If he shouted a warning, it's a loud call (Sense 2). If he shouted in terror, it's a sudden loud cry (Sense 2).

    Final check:
    1. Manner of speaking (No)
    2. Sudden loud cry/yell (Yes)
    3. Exclaim (Possible, but 2 is more general for "shouted")
    4. Abuse (No)

    I will go with 2.
