Context: Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them. Why hadn't he noticed it before? No, the man was not drunk He wondered how he got tied up with this stranger. But, of course, he remembered now. It was blurred, after two hours of <t>steady</t> drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "It was blurred, after two hours of <t>steady</t> drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him."
    *   Target word: "steady"
    *   Usage: "steady drinking"

    *   Sense 1: not subject to change or variation especially in behavior (e.g., steady beat, steady job).
    *   Sense 2: not liable to fluctuate or especially to fall (e.g., stocks are still firm).
    *   Sense 3: securely in position; not shaky (e.g., held the ladder steady).
    *   Sense 4: marked by firm determination or resolution (e.g., firm convictions).
    *   Sense 5: relating to a person who does something regularly (e.g., a regular customer; a steady drinker).
    *   Sense 6: not easily excited or upset (e.g., steady nerves).

    *   The phrase is "two hours of steady drinking".
    *   Does it mean "not subject to change" (Sense 1)? Maybe, in the sense of continuous.
    *   Does it mean "regular" (Sense 5)? The example given for Sense 5 is "a steady drinker".
    *   Wait, let's look closer at Sense 1 vs Sense 5.
    *   Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior".
    *   Sense 5: "relating to a person who does something regularly".
    *   In the context "two hours of steady drinking", it describes the *act* of drinking over a period of time (continuous/constant), rather than the *person* being a regular drinker.
    *   However, let's re-read Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation". A "steady beat" is constant. "Steady drinking" for two hours means drinking continuously without stopping.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 5: "relating to a person who does something regularly". Example: "a steady drinker". This usually refers to a habit (an alcoholic or someone who drinks every day).
    *   In the context "two hours of steady drinking", the person isn't necessarily a "steady drinker" (habitual), but the *drinking* was steady (continuous) for those two hours.
    *   Wait, let me check the dictionary definitions of "steady" again.
    *   Often, "steady" in "steady drinking" or "steady rain" means continuous or constant.
    *   Looking at the provided senses:
        *   1: not subject to change or variation (e.g., steady beat). This fits "continuous".
        *   5: relating to a person who does something regularly (e.g., a steady drinker).
    *   If the text said "He was a steady drinker," it would be Sense 5.
    *   But it says "two hours of steady drinking." This describes the *rate* or *continuity* of the action.
    *   Let's compare "steady beat" (Sense 1) with "steady drinking". Both imply a constant pace.
    *   Let's double-check Sense 5 again. "a steady drinker" is listed as an example. But the context is "two hours of steady drinking".
    *   Is "steady drinking" (the activity) the same as "a steady drinker" (the person)? No.
    *   "Steady drinking" for two hours = continuous drinking.
    *   "A steady drinker" = a regular drinker.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 (not subject to change or variation) fits "steady drinking" (continuous/constant) better than Sense 5 (regular habit).

    *   Wait, let me re-evaluate. If "steady drinker" is the example for Sense 5, and the phrase is "steady drinking", is it possible the sense is the same?
    *   "Steady drinker" (Sense 5) -> Regular habit.
    *   "Steady drinking" (Context) -> Continuous action for two hours.
    *   These are different.
    *   Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation". A steady beat is constant. Steady drinking for two hours is constant drinking.

    *   Let's look at other possibilities.
    *   Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior".
    *   Is "steady drinking" a behavior? Yes. Is it not subject to change (constant) for those two hours? Yes.

    *   Let's search for "steady drinking" in dictionaries.
    *   Merriam-Webster: "steady" can mean "constant in development, quantity, or intensity". (This matches Sense 1).
    *   Oxford: "steady" can mean "constant, regular, or routine".

    *   Let's re-examine Sense 5: "relating to a person who does something regularly".
    *   If the context was "He is a steady drinker," it would be 5.
    *   But "two hours of steady drinking" describes the *process*.

    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior".
    *   Example: "a steady beat". A beat that doesn't change.
    *   "Steady drinking" for two hours = drinking that didn't stop or change pace.

    *   Wait, let me look at the senses again. Is there any other?
    *   1. not subject to change or variation
    *   2. not liable to fluctuate
    *   3. securely in position
    *   4. firm determination
    *   5. relating to a person who does something regularly
    *   6. not easily excited

    *   Comparing 1 and 5 again.
    *   "Steady drinking" (continuous) vs "Steady drinker" (habitual).
    *   The context is "two hours of steady drinking". This is definitely continuous, not habitual.
    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

    *   *Self-Correction/Double Check:*
        Could "steady drinking" be interpreted as "regular drinking" (Sense 5)?
        "Two hours of regular drinking" doesn't make as much sense as "Two hours of continuous drinking".
        "He is a regular drinker" (Sense 5) makes sense.
        "The rain was steady" (Sense 1) makes sense.
        "The drinking was steady" (Sense 1) makes sense.

    *   Final check of Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior".
    *   Drinking for two hours without stopping is a behavior that is not subject to change (it's constant).

    *   Wait, let me look at the example for Sense 5 again: "a steady drinker".
    *   If the example for Sense 5 is "a steady drinker", and the text is "steady drinking", it's very tempting to pick 5. But "a steady drinker" is a person (noun phrase), while "steady drinking" in "two hours of steady drinking" is an activity (gerund phrase).
    *   A "steady drinker" is someone who drinks regularly (habit).
    *   "Steady drinking" for two hours is drinking continuously (pace).
    *   These are different meanings of "steady".

    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior".
    *   This fits "steady drinking" (constant pace).

    *   Let's re-read Sense 5: "relating to a person who does something regularly".
    *   This fits "steady drinker" (habitual person).

    *   The context is "two hours of steady drinking". This is about the pace/continuity over a short period, not a lifelong habit.

    *   Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct one.

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

    *   The phrase is "his head seemingly sunk in thought".
    *   "Sunk in thought" is a common idiom meaning deeply thinking or preoccupied.
    *   Does "head" here refer to the physical part of the body (Sense 1) or the mind/seat of reason (Sense 3)?

    *   Sense 1: "the upper part of the human body... contains the face and brains" (Physical).
    *   Sense 3: "that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason | synonyms=mind, brain, psyche, nous" (Mental).

    *   "His head seemingly sunk in thought" describes the stranger's state of mind.
    *   However, "head sunk in thought" often describes a physical posture (head tilted down) *because* the person is thinking.
    *   Let's look at the phrasing again: "his head seemingly sunk in thought".
    *   If it meant "his mind was sunk in thought", it would be Sense 3.
    *   If it meant "his physical head was bowed/lowered because he was thinking", it would be Sense 1.
    *   Usually, "head sunk" or "head bowed" refers to the physical position. "Sunk in thought" is the state.
    *   Wait, "sunk in thought" is usually "deep in thought". "His head [was] seemingly sunk in thought" is slightly unusual phrasing.
    *   Let's re-read: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street..."
    *   This is an absolute construction: [noun] [adjective/participle phrase].
    *   If the stranger's *mind* was sunk in thought, it would be Sense 3.
    *   If the stranger's *physical head* was lowered (sunk) because he was thinking, it would be Sense 1.
    *   Comparing "head" (physical) vs "head" (mind):
        *   "He had a lot on his mind" (Sense 3).
        *   "He lowered his head" (Sense 1).
        *   "His head was filled with thoughts" (Could be either, but often Sense 3).
    *   "Sunk in thought" is an idiomatic expression for being preoccupied. "His head [being] sunk in thought" suggests the physical head is positioned in a way that indicates he is thinking (looking down).
    *   Let's check Sense 3 again: "that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason | synonyms=mind, brain, psyche, nous".
    *   Let's check Sense 1 again: "the upper part of the human body...".
    *   In the phrase "his head seemingly sunk in thought", "sunk" is the key. You don't usually say your "mind" is "sunk" in thought (you are "deep" in thought or "lost" in thought). You *do* say your "head" is "sunk" (meaning lowered/bowed).
    *   Therefore, it refers to the physical head (Sense 1) positioned in a way that suggests he is thinking.

    *   "Sunk in thought" is a variation of "deep in thought".
    *   If the author meant "his mind was deep in thought", they would likely use "mind" or just "he was sunk in thought".
    *   "His head [being] sunk in thought" strongly implies the physical posture of the head.

    *   Sense 1: Physical head.
    *   Sense 3: Mind.
    *   If the phrase is "his head [was] sunk in thought", it's describing the physical head's position.

    *   "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought..."
    *   This is a descriptive detail about the stranger's appearance as he started to cross the street. Physical descriptions usually involve physical parts.

    *   Sense 1: Physical head.
    *   Sense 3: Mind.
    *   "Sunk" as in "lowered" -> Sense 1.
    *   "Sunk" as in "deeply immersed" -> Sense 3.
    *   Wait, "sunk in thought" is a common enough phrase to mean "deep in thought". If "head" = "mind", then "his mind seemingly sunk in thought" makes sense.
    *   But "his head seemingly sunk in thought" is more likely to describe the physical appearance of someone who is thinking (head down).
    *   Let's search for the phrase "head sunk in thought".
    *   Common usage: "with head sunk in thought", "head bowed in thought". These refer to the physical head.
    *   If it were Sense 3, it would more likely be "his mind was sunk in thought" or "he was sunk in thought".

    *   Sense 1 is the most plausible because it describes the physical manifestation of being lost in thought, which fits the narrative description of the stranger's appearance as he crosses the street.

        *   Sense 7: "move or jump suddenly". While he might have been startled *later*, the phrase "started to cross" usually means "began to cross". If it meant "jumped in surprise", it would be "started *as he crossed*" or "started *when the van roared*", but "started to [verb]" almost always indicates the beginning of an action.

    *   "started to cross the street" = "began to cross the street".
    *   Sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action".

    *   Sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" -> "started to cross the street". (Correct)
    *   Sense 9: "begin or set in motion" (Example: "I start at eight in the morning"). This is more about a schedule or a race.
    *   Sense 13: "begin an event that is implied and limited by the nature or inherent function of the direct object". "To cross the street" is an infinitive phrase, not a direct object like "the soup" or "a cigar".

    *   The stranger began the action of crossing the street. This matches Sense 1.

*   Context: "Brakes howled and a <t>horn</t> blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."
    *   Key clues: "moving van", "roared through the intersection", "Brakes howled", "blared furiously", "would have been hit".
    *   The "horn" is associated with a moving van in a traffic situation.

    *   1: noisemaker (parties/games) - No.
    *   2: bony outgrowth (animals) - No.
    *   3: noise made by the driver of an automobile - Possible.
    *   4: pommel of a saddle - No.
    *   5: brass musical instrument (trumpet/cornet) - No.

    *   10: brass musical instrument (French horn) - No.
    *   11: device on an automobile for making a warning noise - Very likely.

    *   Sense 3: "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning"
    *   Sense 11: "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise"
    *   The text says "a <t>horn</t> blared furiously".
    *   Usually, "a horn blared" refers to the device itself making the sound, or the sound produced by the device.
    *   Looking at the phrasing "a horn blared", it's common to use "horn" to refer to the device (Sense 11).
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "a noise made by the driver...".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 11: "a device on an automobile...".
    *   In "a horn blared", the subject is the horn. The device blares.
    *   Comparing 3 and 11: 11 is the object (the device), 3 is the sound.
    *   "A horn blared" -> The device (11) made the sound.
    *   Wait, let's look at common dictionary distinctions. Often, "horn" refers to the device.
    *   If the sentence was "He heard a horn", it could be either.
    *   "A horn blared" strongly suggests the device.

    *   Sense 3: "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning"
    *   Sense 11: "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise"
    *   In the sentence "a horn blared furiously", "horn" is the subject of the verb "blared".
    *   Does a "noise" blare, or does a "device" blare?
    *   Actually, both are used, but "the horn blared" usually refers to the device.
    *   Let's check if there's a more precise fit.
    *   Sense 11 is "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise".
    *   Sense 3 is "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning".
    *   If the text says "a horn blared", it's more likely referring to the device (11) than the noise (3) itself, although the distinction is subtle.
    *   However, in many datasets (like WordNet), "horn" as the device is the primary meaning for car horns.

    *   "Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously"
    *   Brakes (device) howled (sound).
    *   Horn (device) blared (sound).
    *   This parallel structure suggests "horn" is the device.

    *   Sense 11: "a device on an automobile for making a warning noise"
    *   Sense 3: "a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning"
    *   Sense 11 is the most accurate description of the object that blares.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a <t>second</t> before."
    *   Target word: "second"

    *   1: 1/60 of a minute (unit of time).
    *   2: An indefinitely short time (moment, mo, minute, bit).
    *   3: Baseball position (second base).
    *   4: A particular point in time (moment, minute, instant).
    *   5: Following the first (ordering/series).
    *   6: 60th part of a minute of arc (arcsecond).
    *   7: Attendant in a duel/boxing match.
    *   8: Speech seconding a motion.
    *   9: Second gear in a vehicle.
    *   10: Imperfect merchandise.

    *   The sentence is: "...if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."
    *   In this context, "a second before" refers to a very brief interval of time.
    *   Does it mean exactly 1/60 of a minute (Sense 1)? Or does it mean a very short, indefinite amount of time (Sense 2)?
    *   Usually, "a second before" in narrative prose is used to denote a very brief moment, often interchangeable with "a moment before."
    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: 1/60 of a minute (precise unit).
        *   Sense 2: An indefinitely short time (moment, mo, minute, bit).
    *   In the phrase "a second before," it's often used figuratively to mean "just a moment before." However, "second" is the word used.
    *   Let's look at Sense 4: "a particular point in time." This doesn't fit as well as a duration/interval.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 2: "wait just a moment; in a mo".
    *   Looking at the definition for Sense 1: "1/60 of a minute".
    *   In the context of avoiding a car accident ("a huge moving van roared through the intersection"), the timing is critical and very short.
    *   Is it a literal second or a figurative "moment"?
    *   In most dictionary classifications (like WordNet, which these senses seem to mirror), "a second" meaning a very short time is often distinguished from the precise unit.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2: "an indefinitely short time".
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 1: "1/60 of a minute".
    *   If I say "I'll be there in a second," I mean Sense 2.
    *   If I say "The timer went off after exactly one second," I mean Sense 1.
    *   "Phil hadn't called out to him a second before" suggests a very brief interval. It's more likely to be the "indefinitely short time" (Sense 2) than a precise measurement of 1/60th of a minute.

    *   Sense 1: 1/60 of a minute.
    *   Sense 2: an indefinitely short time.
    *   In the phrase "a second before," it's almost always used to mean "a very short time before."

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 4: "a particular point in time". "A second before" describes the interval *relative* to the event, not a specific point on a clock.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and 2 again. In common usage, "a second" in "a second before" is often treated as a synonym for "a moment."

    *   Sense 1: 1/60 of a minute.
    *   Sense 2: an indefinitely short time.
    *   In the context of a near-miss accident, "a second before" emphasizes the narrowness of the escape. This fits "an indefinitely short time" (Sense 2) better than a precise scientific measurement (Sense 1).

    *   Wait, let me think about this again. If someone says "He arrived a second before me," are they being precise or general? Usually general.
    *   Let's look at the provided senses again.
    *   Sense 1: 1/60 of a minute.
    *   Sense 2: an indefinitely short time.
    *   If the author meant exactly 1/60 of a minute, they'd use Sense 1. If they meant "just a moment," they'd use Sense 2. In narrative fiction, "a second before" is almost always Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: 1/60 of a minute.
    *   Sense 2: an indefinitely short time.
    *   Example for Sense 2: "wait just a moment".
    *   "a second before" = "a moment before".
    *   This matches Sense 2.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have <t>done</t> without thinking, on the spur of the moment."
    *   Target word: "done" (past participle of "do").
    *   Meaning in context: The "shout" is the action. "Something anybody might have done" means "something anybody might have performed" or "carried out" (the action of shouting).

    *   1. engage in (make love, make an effort) - Not quite.
    *   2. carry out or perform an action (perform, execute) - Examples: painting, weeding. This fits well. Shouting is an action.
    *   3. get (something) done (perform) - Example: I did my job. This is similar to 2, but usually refers to a task or duty.
    *   4. proceed or get along (fare, make out) - Not this.
    *   5. give rise to; cause to happen (cause, make) - Not this.
    *   6. carry out or practice (jobs/professions) - Not this.

    *   13. travel or traverse (distance) - Not this.

    *   Sense 2: "carry out or perform an action" (synonyms: perform, execute).
    *   Sense 3: "get (something) done" (synonyms: perform).
    *   Looking at the context: "something anybody might have done". The "something" refers to the act of shouting. This is a general action, not necessarily a task or a job. Sense 2 is the most general definition for performing an action.

    *   Sense 2: "carry out or perform an action" (e.g., painting, weeding).
    *   Sense 3: "get (something) done" (e.g., I did my job).
    *   The shout is an action. "Something anybody might have done" = "An action anybody might have performed". This aligns perfectly with Sense 2.

Context: It was blurred, after two hours of steady drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him. The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection. Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before. His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he <t>regretted</t> having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend.

    *   Sense 2 (loss/absence) doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 3 (formal decline) doesn't fit.
