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

Context: The landlord had died. Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection. He had apparently been alone. Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance. Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks. He muttered something about how <t>terrible</t> it was, and walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator. Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair.

Senses:

2. definition=exceptionally bad or displeasing | synonyms=atrocious, abominable, awful, dreadful, painful, unspeakable | examples=atrocious taste; abominable workmanship
3. definition=intensely or extremely bad or unpleasant in degree or quality | synonyms=severe, wicked | examples=severe pain; a severe case of flu
4. definition=extreme in degree or extent or amount or impact | synonyms=frightful, awful, tremendous | examples=in a frightful hurry; spent a frightful amount of money

reasoning_content:
*   Context: A landlord died by falling off a roof. The character Haney witnesses the aftermath (the impact) and says something about how "terrible" it was.
    *   Target word: "terrible"
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  Causing fear, dread, or terror (e.g., awful war).
        2.  Exceptionally bad or displeasing (e.g., atrocious taste).
        3.  Intensely or extremely bad or unpleasant in degree or quality (e.g., severe pain).
        4.  Extreme in degree or extent or amount or impact (e.g., frightful hurry).

    *   The context describes a death (falling off a roof, body smashing on pavement).
    *   Haney says "how terrible it was."
    *   In this context, "terrible" refers to the event of the death/accident.
    *   Is it causing fear/dread (Sense 1)? It's a tragedy, and while it might be shocking, the word "terrible" here is more of a general expression of how bad/horrific the situation is.
    *   Is it exceptionally bad or displeasing (Sense 2)? Yes, a death is exceptionally bad/unpleasant.
    *   Is it intensely bad in degree or quality (Sense 3)? This usually refers to things like pain or illness.
    *   Is it extreme in degree or extent (Sense 4)? This usually refers to quantity or intensity of an action (e.g., "terrible speed").

    *   Sense 1: "causing fear or dread or terror". A death is often described as "terrible" in the sense of being horrific or dreadful.
    *   Sense 2: "exceptionally bad or displeasing". This is a very broad sense.
    *   Looking at the synonyms for Sense 1: "awful, dire, direful, dread, dreaded, dreadful".
    *   Looking at the synonyms for Sense 2: "atrocious, abominable, awful, dreadful, painful, unspeakable".

    *   When someone says "How terrible!" upon hearing about a death, they are usually referring to the horrific, distressing, or tragic nature of the event.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on fear/dread/terror.
    *   Sense 2 focuses on being exceptionally bad/displeasing.
    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate. "Terrible" in the context of a tragedy is often categorized as "extremely bad" or "dreadful".
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
        *   Sense 1: "causing fear or dread or terror" (e.g., a terrible storm, a terrible war).
        *   Sense 2: "exceptionally bad or displeasing" (e.g., terrible weather, terrible food).
    *   Actually, in many dictionaries, "terrible" meaning "extremely bad" (like a tragedy) falls under the "exceptionally bad" or "dreadful" category.
    *   Let's look at the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "the awful war" (war causes terror).
        *   Sense 2: "atrocious taste" (bad quality).
    *   Is a death "causing fear or dread" or "exceptionally bad"?
    *   Usually, "How terrible!" in response to a death is an expression of sympathy for a very bad situation.
    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again: "exceptionally bad or displeasing". "Displeasing" seems too weak for a death.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "causing fear or dread or terror". A death is often "dreadful".

    *   Sense 1: fear/dread/terror.
    *   Sense 2: exceptionally bad/displeasing.
    *   Sense 3: severe (pain/flu).
    *   Sense 4: extreme (hurry/amount).

    If the event is a death, it is "dreadful" (Sense 1) or "exceptionally bad" (Sense 2).
    However, "terrible" in the sense of "horrific" or "tragic" is most closely aligned with "dreadful" or "causing dread/terror" (Sense 1) in some taxonomies, but in others, it's just "very bad" (Sense 2).

    Let's re-read the context: "He muttered something about how terrible it was". He is reacting to a body smashed on the pavement. This is a horrific sight. "Horrific" aligns well with "causing fear or dread" or "dreadful".

    Wait, let's look at Sense 2 again: "exceptionally bad or displeasing". Synonyms: "atrocious, abominable, awful, dreadful, painful, unspeakable". "Unspeakable" and "dreadful" fit a death very well.

    Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 2 again.
    Sense 1: causing fear or dread or terror.
    Sense 2: exceptionally bad or displeasing.

    If I say "That's terrible news," I mean it's very bad (Sense 2).
    If I say "The movie was terrible," I mean it was very bad (Sense 2).
    If I say "The accident was terrible," I mean it was horrific (Sense 1 or 2).

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: "atrocious, abominable, awful, dreadful, painful, unspeakable". These are very strong words. "Unspeakable" and "dreadful" are often used for tragedies.

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "awful, dire, direful, dread, dreaded, dreadful".

    This is tricky. Let's think about the most common usage. "How terrible" as a reaction to a death is usually an expression of it being a "very bad" or "tragic" event.

    Let's try to see if there's a better fit.
    Sense 3 is for quality/degree of something like pain.
    Sense 4 is for amount/extent.

    Between 1 and 2:
    Sense 1 is more about the *emotion* of fear/terror.
    Sense 2 is more about the *quality* of being bad.

    A death is "bad" (Sense 2) and "horrific" (Sense 1). But "How terrible it was" is a general comment on the situation.

    Let's look at the examples again.
    Sense 1: "the awful war" (War is terrifying).
    Sense 2: "atrocious taste" (Taste is bad).

    A death is more like a war (a tragedy/horror) than like bad taste.

    Wait, let me search for this specific sense division. This looks like it might be from a specific dictionary (like WordNet).
    In WordNet:
    - terrible (adj):
        1. causing fear or dread or terror (awful, dire, direful, dread, dreaded, dreadful)
        2. exceptionally bad or displeasing (atrocious, abominable, awful, dreadful, painful, unspeakable)
        3. intensely or extremely bad or unpleasant in degree or quality (severe, wicked)
        4. extreme in degree or extent or amount or impact (frightful, awful, tremendous)

    In the context of a death, "terrible" usually means "dreadful" or "horrific".
    If the person is reacting to the *sight* of a body smashed on the pavement, "terrible" describes the horror of the scene.

    Let's re-read: "Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement... He muttered something about how terrible it was".

    The "it" refers to the situation/event.
    Is the event "causing fear or dread" or "exceptionally bad"?
    A death is exceptionally bad.

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2 again: "unspeakable", "dreadful". These are often used for tragedies.
    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1 again: "dire", "direful". These are often used for warnings or situations that *will* be bad.

    Actually, "terrible" in the sense of "very bad" (like a tragedy) is most often Sense 2 in these types of NLP datasets.

    Let's double-check.
    Sense 1: causing fear/terror. (e.g., a terrible monster, a terrible storm).
    Sense 2: exceptionally bad. (e.g., a terrible mistake, a terrible tragedy, terrible weather).

    The death of the landlord is a terrible tragedy/event.

    Therefore, Sense 2 is the most likely fit.

    *Self-Correction:* Let me re-read Sense 1. "causing fear or dread or terror". A body smashed on the pavement is certainly terrifying/horrific. But "How terrible it was" is a common phrase for "How sad/bad it was".

    Let's compare:
    "The terrible accident" (Sense 2 - very bad)
    "The terrible scream" (Sense 1 - causing terror)

    "How terrible it was" (referring to the death) -> Sense 2.

    *   The character "walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator."

    *   It's not a manner of living (Sense 6).
    *   It's not association (Sense 7).
    *   While "deliberate slowness" describes the pace, the core action is moving to the elevator. Sense 1 is the most general and fitting definition for "advance by steps." Sense 8 ("walk at a pace") is a possibility, but usually, "walked" in "walked to the elevator" is the basic action of walking. Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 8.
    *   Sense 1: "use one's feet to advance; advance by steps"
    *   Sense 8: "walk at a pace" (Example: "The horses walked across the meadow").
    *   In the sentence "walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator," the primary action is moving to the elevator. "With deliberate slowness" is an adverbial phrase modifying the action.
    *   Comparing "Walk, don't run!" (Sense 1) to "walked... to the elevator," it fits the basic definition of advancing by steps.

    *   Sense 1 is the most fundamental meaning of walking to a destination.

    *   In common usage, "pouring a drink" is the act of decanting/pouring out.

    *   Sense 1: cause to run (often implies a more haphazard or broad application, like over a floor).

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

Context: Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection. He had apparently been alone. Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance. Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks. He muttered something about how terrible it was, and walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator. Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and <t>flopped</t> limply in a chair. After a while he began to feel better about it, especially when no one bothered to ask any questions.

Senses:
1. definition=fall loosely | examples=He flopped into a chair
2. definition=fall suddenly and abruptly
3. definition=fail utterly; collapse | synonyms=fall through, fall flat, founder | examples=The project foundered

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and <t>flopped</t> limply in a chair."
    *   Target word: "flopped"
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  fall loosely (Example: He flopped into a chair)
        2.  fall suddenly and abruptly
        3.  fail utterly; collapse (Example: The project foundered)

    *   The character is distressed ("trembling hands") and sits down in a chair in a limp manner.
    *   The phrase is "flopped limply in a chair."

    *   Sense 1: "fall loosely" (Example: "He flopped into a chair"). This matches the context perfectly.
    *   Sense 2: "fall suddenly and abruptly". While flopping is sudden, Sense 1 specifically mentions the action of sitting/falling into a chair.
    *   Sense 3: "fail utterly; collapse" (metaphorical failure). This does not fit the physical action of sitting in a chair.

    *   The context "flopped limply in a chair" is almost identical to the example for Sense 1 ("He flopped into a chair").

    *   "After a while he began to feel better about it..."
    *   "It" refers to the situation (the death of the person, the fact that he might have been involved or just the shock).
    *   "Feel better about it" means his emotional state regarding the event improved. He is experiencing a change in his emotional state/mindset.

    *   Sense 1: "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind" (e.g., felt resentful).
    *   Sense 4: "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state" (e.g., I feel fine today).

    *   "Feel better about it" is an emotional reaction to a situation.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the emotional sensation/state of mind.
    *   Sense 4 focuses on being conscious of a state (often physical health or general well-being).
    *   Comparing "feel resentful" (Sense 1) and "feel fine today" (Sense 4).
    *   "Feel better about it" is very similar to "feel better" (recovery from illness - Sense 4) but the "about it" part shifts it toward an emotional reaction to a specific circumstance.
    *   If someone says "I feel better about the test," they are talking about their emotional state/mindset regarding the test.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind". This fits "feeling better about it" (feeling less guilty, less anxious, etc.).

    *   Sense 1: "She felt resentful; He felt regret" -> These are emotional states.
    *   Sense 4: "My cold is gone--I feel fine today; She felt tired after the long hike" -> These are physical/general states.
    *   "Feel better about it" is an emotional state regarding a specific event.

    *   Is it Sense 1? Yes, it's an emotional state.
    *   Is it Sense 4? "Feel better" can be Sense 4 (health), but "feel better *about it*" is emotional.

    *   Sense 1: undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind.
    *   "Feel better about it" = undergo a more positive emotional sensation regarding the event.

    *   Sense 1: Emotional state.
    *   Sense 4: Conscious of a state (often physical).
    *   "Feel better about it" is definitely emotional.

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 4 again. "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state".
    *   Sense 1: "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind".
    *   These are very close. Let's look at the examples.
    *   Sense 1: resentful, regret.
    *   Sense 4: fine, tired.
    *   "Feel better about it" is more like "feel regret" (Sense 1) than "feel tired" (Sense 4).

    *   "Feel better about it" means he is no longer as distressed. This is an emotional state. Sense 1 fits best.

1. definition=an instance of questioning | synonyms=inquiry, enquiry, query, interrogation | examples=there was a question about my training; we made inquiries of all those who were present
2. definition=the subject matter at issue | synonyms=head | examples=the question of disease merits serious discussion; under the head of minor Roman poets

*   Context: "After a while he began to feel better about it, especially when no one bothered to ask any <t>questions</t>."
    *   Target word: "questions"

    *   Sense 1: An instance of questioning (inquiry, enquiry, query, interrogation). Example: "there was a question about my training".
    *   Sense 2: The subject matter at issue (head). Example: "the question of disease merits serious discussion".
    *   Sense 3: A sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply (interrogation, interrogative sentence). Example: "he asked a direct question".
    *   Sense 4: Uncertainty about the truth or factuality (doubt, dubiousness). Example: "the dubiousness of his claim".
    *   Sense 5: A formal proposal for action (motion). Example: "he made a motion to adjourn".
    *   Sense 6: An informal reference to a marriage proposal. Example: "pop the question".

    *   The character (Haney) is relieved that "no one bothered to ask any questions."
    *   In this context, "ask any questions" means that no one is inquiring about the event (the body on the pavement) or his involvement/reaction.
    *   This refers to the act of inquiring or the queries themselves.

    *   Sense 1 (instance of questioning/inquiry) fits well.
    *   Sense 3 (a sentence of inquiry) also fits, as "asking questions" often involves asking specific interrogative sentences.
    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 3.
        *   Sense 1: "an instance of questioning" (inquiry, enquiry).
        *   Sense 3: "a sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply" (interrogative sentence).
    *   In the phrase "ask any questions," it usually refers to the general act of inquiring (Sense 1) or the specific queries asked (Sense 3).
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 1: "there was a question about my training; we made inquiries of all those who were present."
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 3: "he asked a direct question; he had trouble phrasing his interrogations."
    *   In the context "no one bothered to ask any questions," it means no one performed an inquiry or asked any queries. This aligns most closely with Sense 1 (the general act/instance of questioning/inquiry). However, often "ask a question" is the prototypical use of Sense 3.
    *   Wait, let's re-read Sense 1: "an instance of questioning".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "a sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply".
    *   If someone "asks a question," they are uttering a "sentence of inquiry."
    *   However, "ask any questions" in the sense of "no one questioned him" or "no one made inquiries" often leans towards Sense 1.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: inquiry, enquiry, query, interrogation.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: interrogation, interrogative, interrogative sentence.
    *   In the context "no one bothered to ask any questions," it means no one interrogated him or made inquiries.
    *   Actually, in many dictionaries, "ask a question" is the primary example for the "interrogative sentence" meaning. But "ask questions" (plural) often refers to the process of inquiry.
    *   Let's check the examples again.
        *   Sense 1: "there was a question about my training" (an inquiry).
        *   Sense 3: "he asked a direct question" (a specific sentence).
    *   "No one bothered to ask any questions" means no one made any inquiries. This fits Sense 1 very well.

    *   Sense 1: Inquiry/Enquiry.
    *   Sense 3: Interrogative sentence.
    *   If the text said "He asked a question," it would be Sense 3.
    *   "Ask any questions" (plural) usually refers to the act of questioning or the set of inquiries.
    *   Let's re-evaluate. If I ask you a question, I am using a sentence of inquiry (Sense 3). If I ask you several questions, I am conducting an inquiry (Sense 1).
    *   Actually, looking at the provided senses, Sense 1 is "an instance of questioning" and Sense 3 is "a sentence of inquiry".
    *   In "no one bothered to ask any questions," the "questions" are the things being asked. Each one is a sentence of inquiry.
    *   However, the overall meaning is "no one made any inquiries."
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: "inquiry, enquiry, query, interrogation".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 3: "interrogation, interrogative, interrogative sentence".
    *   "Ask questions" is a very common idiom for "make inquiries."
    *   Let's try to see if Sense 1 is a better fit for "ask any questions" than Sense 3.
    *   Sense 1: "there was a question about my training" (meaning an inquiry).
    *   Sense 3: "he asked a direct question" (meaning a specific sentence).
    *   In the context "no one bothered to ask any questions," it's more about the *act* of inquiring than the *grammatical form* of the sentence.

    *   Sense 1: an instance of questioning.
    *   Sense 3: a sentence of inquiry.
    *   If you "ask a question," you are performing an "instance of questioning" (Sense 1) by using a "sentence of inquiry" (Sense 3).
    *   Usually, in these types of NLP tasks (like WordNet-based sense disambiguation), "ask a question" is often mapped to the "inquiry" sense unless the focus is specifically on the linguistic form.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "we made inquiries of all those who were present". This is very similar to "no one bothered to ask any questions".

    *   Sense 1: inquiry, enquiry, query.
    *   Sense 3: interrogative sentence.
    *   "Ask any questions" $\approx$ "Make any inquiries".
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

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

Context: Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks. He muttered something about how terrible it was, and walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator. Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair. After a while he began to feel better about it, especially when no one bothered to ask any questions. But after all, why should they? Still later, he finally convinced himself that it was an accident -- just a <t>coincidence</t>. The stranger really had nothing to do with it, of course

Senses:
1. definition=an event that might have been arranged although it was really accidental | synonyms=happenstance
2. definition=the quality of occupying the same position or area in space | examples=he waited for the coincidence of the target and the cross hairs
3. definition=the temporal property of two things happening at the same time | synonyms=concurrence, conjunction, co-occurrence | examples=the interval determining the coincidence gate is adjustable

reasoning_content:
*   Context: Haney is shaken, tries to convince himself that something was an "accident -- just a coincidence." He mentions a "stranger" who "really had nothing to do with it."
    *   Target word: "coincidence"
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  An event that might have been arranged although it was really accidental (happenstance).
        2.  Occupying the same position or area in space.
        3.  Two things happening at the same time (concurrence, co-occurrence).

    *   Haney is trying to rationalize a situation. He's wondering if a stranger's presence or action was related to an event.
    *   He concludes it was an "accident -- just a coincidence."
    *   This implies that two events happened (the event he's worried about and the stranger's involvement/presence) and he's deciding they weren't causally linked, but happened by chance.

    *   Sense 1: "an event that might have been arranged although it was really accidental" (happenstance). This fits perfectly. A coincidence is often seen as a remarkable accidental occurrence.
    *   Sense 2: "occupying the same position or area in space." (Physical alignment). This does not fit.
    *   Sense 3: "the temporal property of two things happening at the same time." (Simultaneity). While coincidences often happen at the same time, the *meaning* in the context is about the accidental nature of the relationship between events, not just the timing. Sense 1 is the standard meaning for "it was just a coincidence."

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

Context: He muttered something about how terrible it was, and walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator. Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair. After a while he began to feel better about it, especially when no one bothered to ask any questions. But after all, why should they? Still later, he finally convinced himself that it was an accident -- just a coincidence. The <t>stranger</t> really had nothing to do with it, of course Haney went to bed, happy that at least he was rid of that lousy landlord.

Senses:
1. definition=anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found | synonyms=alien, unknown
2. definition=an individual that one is not acquainted with

reasoning_content:
*   Context: A man (Haney) is reflecting on an event (likely a death or accident involving his landlord). He convinces himself it was an accident and that "The stranger really had nothing to do with it."
    *   Target word: "stranger"
    *   Senses:
        1.  Anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found (alien, unknown).
        2.  An individual that one is not acquainted with.

    *   The text mentions "The stranger really had nothing to do with it."

    *   Sense 2 refers to someone the person doesn't *know* (not acquainted with).

    *   In the context of "The stranger really had nothing to do with it," it refers to a person Haney does not know. While the person might not "belong" in the environment, the primary meaning of "stranger" in this narrative context is usually "a person one does not know."
    *   Let's re-read: "The stranger really had nothing to do with it... he was rid of that lousy landlord."
    *   The "stranger" is a character in the scene who is not known to Haney. This fits Sense 2 perfectly. Sense 1 is more about being an outsider or alien to a place/group.

    *   Sense 1: "anyone who does not belong in the environment" (e.g., "He felt like a stranger in his own home").
    *   Sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with" (e.g., "Don't talk to strangers").

2. definition=marked by good fortune | synonyms=felicitous | examples=a felicitous life; a happy outcome
3. definition=eagerly disposed to act or to be of service | synonyms=glad | examples=glad to help

        2.  Marked by good fortune (felicitous).
        3.  Eagerly disposed to act or to be of service (glad).
        4.  Well expressed and to the point (well-chosen).

    *   Haney has just convinced himself that something (likely a death, given the context of "rid of that lousy landlord" and "no one suffered") was an accident.
    *   He feels "happy" because he is rid of the landlord.
    *   This describes an internal emotional state of satisfaction, pleasure, or relief.

    *   Sense 1: "enjoying or showing or marked by joy or pleasure". This fits perfectly. He is feeling pleasure/satisfaction at being rid of the landlord.
    *   Sense 2: "marked by good fortune". This describes a situation (e.g., a happy accident), not a person's feeling.
    *   Sense 3: "eagerly disposed to act or to be of service". This doesn't fit; he's not offering help.
    *   Sense 4: "well expressed and to the point". This refers to language, not emotion.

    *   The word "happy" in "happy that at least he was rid of that lousy landlord" describes Haney's emotional state of satisfaction/pleasure. This aligns with Sense 1.

Context: Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair. After a while he began to feel better about it, especially when no one bothered to ask any questions. But after all, why should they? Still later, he finally convinced himself that it was an accident -- just a coincidence. The stranger really had nothing to do with it, of course Haney went to bed, happy that at least he was rid of that <t>lousy</t> landlord. After all, the man had no family, so no one suffered, and everybody was better off for it.

Senses:
1. definition=very bad | synonyms=icky, crappy, rotten, shitty, stinking, stinky | examples=a lousy play; it's a stinking world
2. definition=infested with lice | examples=burned their lousy clothes
3. definition=vile; despicable | synonyms=dirty, filthy | examples=a dirty (or lousy) trick; a filthy traitor

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...happy that at least he was rid of that <t>lousy</t> landlord."
    *   Target word: "lousy"
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  very bad (icky, crappy, rotten, shitty, stinking, stinky)
        2.  infested with lice
        3.  vile; despicable (dirty, filthy)

    *   The character (Haney) is glad to be rid of his landlord.
    *   The context suggests the landlord was unpleasant, disliked, or "bad" in a general sense.
    *   It doesn't imply the landlord was literally infested with lice (Sense 2).
    *   While "vile" or "despicable" (Sense 3) could potentially fit, "lousy" in the phrase "lousy landlord" is most commonly used as a general term for "very bad," "unpleasant," or "poor quality/character" (Sense 1).
    *   Comparing Sense 1 ("very bad") and Sense 3 ("vile; despicable"): Sense 3 is usually associated with a specific action (a "lousy trick") or a moral failing ("filthy traitor"). Sense 1 is a more general descriptor for a person or thing that is unpleasant or poor. "Lousy landlord" typically means a bad landlord (doesn't fix things, mean, etc.), fitting Sense 1 better.

    *   Sense 1: "very bad" -> "lousy landlord" (a bad landlord). This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 2: "infested with lice" -> "lousy landlord" (a landlord with lice). Unlikely.
    *   Sense 3: "vile; despicable" -> "lousy landlord" (a despicable landlord). Possible, but "lousy" in this colloquial usage usually maps to "very bad/crappy."

    *   In modern English, "lousy" meaning "very bad" is the most common usage for describing a person's character or a situation.

    *   Sense 4 (Hominidae) is too scientific.

    *   The word "man" in "the man had no family" refers to the landlord.
    *   The word "man" in "nobody kills a man" is more generic, but the prompt asks for the sense of the tagged word `<t>man</t>`, which is the first one ("the <t>man</t> had no family").
    *   The landlord is an adult male.

    *   Sense 1: an adult person who is male. (Correct)

*   Context: "After all, the man <t>had</t> no family, so no one suffered, and everybody was better off for it."
    *   Target word: "had"
    *   Meaning in context: The man did not possess or have any family members.

    *   1: have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense (e.g., She has $1,000; He has got two beautiful daughters).

    *   Sense 4: "have ownership or possession of" (Example: "He owns three houses"). Family members are not "owned" in the legal/property sense, though they are "possessed" in a general sense. Sense 1 is broader and specifically mentions daughters as an example.
    *   Sense 7: "have a personal or business relationship with someone". While family is a relationship, "had no family" usually refers to the existence/possession of family members rather than the nature of the relationship.

    *   Sense 2 (parents and children) is too narrow.
    *   Sense 4 (people descended from a common ancestor/kinfolk) fits best because it encompasses the broader group of relatives who would care about the person's death.

    *   Sense 1: Household.
    *   Sense 4: Kinfolk/Family line.

    *   Meaning: The man died, but because he had no family, no one else experienced the emotional pain or loss associated with his death.

    *   1. undergo or be subjected to (e.g., penalty, martyrdom) - Not quite.
    *   2. undergo (injuries/illnesses) (e.g., fracture) - Not applicable.
    *   3. experience (emotional) pain (e.g., husband gets drunk, she suffers) - This fits well. The lack of family means no one experienced the emotional pain of loss.

    *   11. be set at a disadvantage (e.g., translation) - Not applicable.

    *   The context is about the death of a man and the lack of grieving family members.

    *   Sense 1 is the most general "express in words".
    *   Sense 8 is specifically "utter aloud".
    *   Sense 9 is "state as one's opinion or judgement".
    *   Looking at "said to himself", it's usually categorized under the general "express in words" (Sense 1) or "state" (Sense 1).
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 9.
    *   Sense 1: "He said that he wanted to marry her" (Reporting a statement).
    *   Sense 9: "I say let's forget this whole business" (Expressing a judgment/proposal).
    *   "Really, he said to himself, nobody kills a man just as a favor!!" is more of a thought/statement than a proposal or a strong declaration of judgment in the way Sense 9 implies. It's reporting his internal monologue.

    *   "said to himself" is a standard way to report internal speech.
    *   Sense 1: "express in words | synonyms=state, tell". This fits best as it covers the act of stating something.

    *   Sense 1: express in words.
    *   Sense 2: report/maintain (allege).
    *   Sense 3: suppose.
    *   Sense 4: read.
    *   Sense 5: order.
    *   Sense 6: pronounce.
    *   Sense 7: nonverbal.
    *   Sense 8: utter aloud.
    *   Sense 9: state opinion/judgment.
    *   Sense 10: recite.
    *   Sense 11: indicate.

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 8: "said to himself" usually means thinking, not uttering aloud. So Sense 8 is out.
    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 9: Sense 9 is more like "I say we go now" (a suggestion/judgment). Sense 1 is "He said that..." (reporting). "He said to himself [that] nobody kills a man..." fits the reporting structure of Sense 1.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 1 again: "express in words | synonyms=state, tell | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her". This matches the structure "He said [to himself] that...".

    Is there any other possibility?
    Sense 2 (allege) - No.
    Sense 3 (suppose) - No.
    Sense 4 (read) - No.
    Sense 5 (order) - No.
    Sense 6 (pronounce) - No.
    Sense 7 (nonverbal) - No.
    Sense 8 (utter aloud) - No.
    Sense 9 (opinion/judgment) - "nobody kills a man just as a favor!!" is an opinion, but "said to himself" is the act of stating it. Sense 1 is the act of stating.

    Let's double-check Sense 1. "express in words". Even internal speech is often categorized as "expressing in words" in these types of dictionaries.

    Sense 1: express in words.
    Example: "He said that he wanted to marry her."
    Context: "he said to himself, nobody kills a man just as a favor!!"
    This is a direct match for the reporting of a statement.

    *   The sentence is: "nobody kills a <t>man</t> just as a favor!!"
    *   The context refers to a "lousy landlord" who was killed.
    *   The landlord is referred to as "the man" earlier ("After all, the man had no family").
    *   In "nobody kills a man just as a favor", the word "man" refers to a human being in a general sense, or specifically to the male person (the landlord) who was killed.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 (adult male) vs Sense 3 (generic human being).
    *   The landlord was a male. "The man had no family."
    *   "Nobody kills a man just as a favor!!" - This sounds like a general statement about killing a person.
    *   Wait, let's re-read. "The stranger really had nothing to do with it... Haney went to bed, happy that at least he was rid of that lousy landlord. After all, the man had no family... Really, he said to himself, nobody kills a man just as a favor!!"
    *   In the phrase "nobody kills a man", "man" is used generically to mean "a person" or "a human being".

    *   Sense 1: "an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman)"
    *   Sense 3: "the generic use of the word to refer to any human being"
    *   If the sentence is "nobody kills a man just as a favor", is it saying "nobody kills a *male* just as a favor" or "nobody kills a *person* just as a favor"?
    *   Usually, in this kind of idiomatic or general expression, "man" refers to any human being (Sense 3).
    *   However, the specific person being discussed (the landlord) is a male.
    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 3 again.
    *   Sense 1: "there were two women and six men on the bus" (distinction by gender).
    *   Sense 3: "it was every man for himself" (generic human).
    *   "Nobody kills a man just as a favor" is a general observation about human nature/behavior. It's not specifically about males.

    *   Is it Sense 1 (adult male) or Sense 3 (generic human)?
    *   In "nobody kills a man", "man" is used as a representative of the species.
    *   Let's check Sense 4: "any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae". This is more biological.
    *   Sense 11: "all of the living human inhabitants of the earth". This is collective.
    *   Sense 3: "the generic use of the word to refer to any human being". This fits "a man" in "nobody kills a man".

    *   "nobody kills a man just as a favor!!"
    *   This is a general statement. "Man" here means "person".
    *   Sense 3: "the generic use of the word to refer to any human being".

    *   Wait, could it be Sense 1? The landlord was a man. But the sentence "nobody kills a man just as a favor" is a general rule he's applying to the situation.
    *   If I say "No one likes a liar," "liar" is generic.
    *   If I say "Nobody kills a man," "man" is generic.
    *   If the context was "He killed the man," it would be Sense 1. But "nobody kills a man" is a general statement.

    *   Sense 1: adult male.
    *   Sense 3: generic human being.
    *   "Nobody kills a man just as a favor!!" -> "Nobody kills a human being just as a favor!!"
    *   This fits Sense 3 perfectly.
