Target lemma: get
Target surface form: got
Context:
Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges. But he decided he wouldn't mind company in return for free drinks, even though he made good money at his job. Phil was like that. Now he wondered if it was worth it, having a screwball for company. He really didn't take the offer seriously, but he began to feel uneasy. When he finally <t>got</t> the coughing under control, he realized that Pete -LRB- all he gave was his first name -RRB- was still waiting for an answer -- he didn't even seem to wink as he continued to stare. Haney managed a weak laugh.

    *   Sense 4: "look forward to the probable occurrence of".
    *   In the context "waiting for an answer", Pete is physically there, staring, expecting the answer to come. This aligns better with the "stay in one place and anticipate" aspect of Sense 3 than the "look forward to" aspect of Sense 4.

    *   Sense 3 is the most accurate description of someone waiting for a response in a conversation.

But he decided he wouldn't mind company in return for free drinks, even though he made good money at his job. Phil was like that. Now he wondered if it was worth it, having a screwball for company. He really didn't take the offer seriously, but he began to feel uneasy. When he finally got the coughing under control, he realized that Pete -LRB- all he gave was his first name -RRB- was still waiting for an <t>answer</t> -- he didn't even seem to wink as he continued to stare. Haney managed a weak laugh.

*   Target lemma: `answer`
    *   Target surface form: `answer`
    *   Context: "When he finally got the coughing under control, he realized that Pete... was still waiting for an <t>answer</t> -- he didn't even seem to wink as he continued to stare."
    *   Surrounding context: Pete is waiting for a response to something (presumably a question or a request, though the specific question isn't explicitly stated in the snippet, the phrase "waiting for an answer" strongly implies a reply to a communication).

    *   Sense 1: `answer%1:10:00::` - the speech act of replying to a question (This is the *act* itself).
    *   Sense 2: `answer%1:10:01::` - a statement (either spoken or written) that is made to reply to a question or request or criticism or accusation (This is the *result* or the *content* of the reply).
    *   Sense 3: `answer%1:04:00::` - a nonverbal reaction (e.g., getting drunk as an answer to a problem).
    *   Sense 4: `answer%1:10:03::` - legal pleading (defendant's response).
    *   Sense 5: `answer%1:10:02::` - a statement that solves a problem (solution).

    *   The context says Pete "was still waiting for an answer".
    *   This usually refers to a reply to a question or request.
    *   Is it the *act* of replying (Sense 1) or the *statement* that is the reply (Sense 2)?
    *   "Waiting for an answer" typically refers to the response itself (the statement/reply).
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
        *   Sense 1: "the speech act of replying"
        *   Sense 2: "a statement... that is made to reply"
    *   In "waiting for an answer", "answer" is a noun referring to the response Pete expects. This fits Sense 2 ("a statement... that is made to reply") better than the abstract "speech act" (Sense 1).
    *   Sense 3 (nonverbal reaction) doesn't fit as well as a direct reply to a conversation.
    *   Sense 4 (legal) is irrelevant.
    *   Sense 5 (solution) is irrelevant.

    *   Sense 2: "a statement (either spoken or written) that is made to reply to a question or request or criticism or accusation | synonyms=reply, response | examples=I waited several days for his answer"
    *   The example "I waited several days for his answer" is almost identical in structure to "was still waiting for an answer".

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.

        4.  `seem%2:39:00::`: give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect (e.g., "She seems to be sleeping").

    *   The sentence is: "...he didn't even seem to wink as he continued to stare."
    *   Here, "seem" describes the outward appearance or impression Pete was giving to the observer (Haney).
    *   Pete's lack of winking is an outward aspect/impression.

    *   Sense 1: "seem to be true, probable, or apparent" (often used with "It seems that..."). This is more about a general conclusion or probability.
    *   Sense 2: "appear to one's own mind or opinion" (subjective experience of the subject). Not applicable here; it's about how Pete appeared to Haney.
    *   Sense 3: "appear to exist" (existential). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 4: "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect" (look, appear). This fits perfectly. Pete gave the impression that he wasn't winking.

    *   Sense 4 is the best fit because it describes the outward appearance/impression of a person's behavior (not winking).

        2.  `stare%2:39:00::` | definition=look at with fixed eyes | synonyms=gaze | examples=The students stared at the teacher with amazement

    *   The sentence describes Pete waiting for an answer and continuing to "stare" at Phil (implied).
    *   Pete is looking at Phil intently/fixedly while waiting for a response.

    *   Sense 1: "fixate one's eyes" (often implies a direction or a state of being, e.g., "staring down").
    *   Sense 2: "look at with fixed eyes" (synonym: gaze). This is the standard definition of staring at someone.

    *   Sense 1 ("fixate one's eyes") is very similar to Sense 2 ("look at with fixed eyes").
    *   However, Sense 2 is the more general and common usage for looking at someone intently (gazing).
    *   In the context "he continued to stare", it means he continued to look at the other person with fixed eyes.

    *   Sense 1: "fixate one's eyes" (often used intransitively or with "down").
    *   Sense 2: "look at with fixed eyes" (the act of gazing).
    *   Looking at the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "The ancestor in the painting is staring down menacingly" (focuses on the fixed nature of the gaze).
        *   Sense 2: "The students stared at the teacher with amazement" (focuses on the act of looking).
    *   In the text, Pete is looking at Phil. This fits "look at with fixed eyes" (Sense 2) perfectly.

    *   Wait, let me re-read the glosses.
    *   Sense 1: "fixate one's eyes"
    *   Sense 2: "look at with fixed eyes"
    *   These are extremely close. Let's look at the WordNet structure if possible (though I must rely on the provided text).
    *   Usually, "stare" as an intransitive verb meaning "to look fixedly" is the primary sense.
    *   Sense 2 explicitly mentions "look at", which fits the context of Pete looking at Phil.

    *   Sense 1: fixate one's eyes.
    *   Sense 2: look at with fixed eyes.
    *   In "he continued to stare", the object (Phil) is implied.
    *   Sense 2 is the more standard definition for the act of staring at someone.

    *   Sense 1: fixate one's eyes.
    *   Sense 2: look at with fixed eyes.
    *   Actually, looking at the WordNet hierarchy (mentally), "stare" (the verb) often has these nuances.
    *   Sense 2 is "gaze", which is a direct synonym for staring at someone.
    *   Sense 1 is "fixate one's eyes", which is almost the same but slightly more about the physical action of the eyes.
    *   Given the context of a social interaction (waiting for an answer), "look at with fixed eyes" (Sense 2) is the most natural fit.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `faint%5:00:00:ill:01`: weak and likely to lose consciousness (e.g., "felt faint from the pain").
        2.  `faint%5:00:00:perceptible:00`: deficient in magnitude; barely perceptible; lacking clarity or brightness or loudness etc (e.g., "a faint outline", "faint shadows").
        3.  `faint%5:00:00:cowardly:00`: lacking conviction or boldness or courage (e.g., "faint heart").
        4.  `faint%5:00:00:weak:00`: lacking strength or vigor (e.g., "faint praise", "faint resistance").

        6.  `faint%5:00:02:indistinct:00`: indistinctly understood or felt or perceived (e.g., "faint clue", "faintest idea").

    *   The phrase is "A faint crease appeared between the man's eyebrows."
    *   A "crease" is a physical line or fold.
    *   "Faint" here describes the visibility or magnitude of the crease. It means the crease was barely visible or very slight.

    *   Sense 1 (ill): Not applicable.
    *   Sense 2 (perceptible): "deficient in magnitude; barely perceptible; lacking clarity or brightness or loudness etc". Example: "a faint outline". This fits perfectly. A "faint crease" is a barely perceptible line.
    *   Sense 3 (cowardly): Not applicable.
    *   Sense 4 (weak): "lacking strength or vigor". While a crease isn't "strong", "weak" usually refers to force or intensity of action/emotion (e.g., "faint praise").
    *   Sense 5 (indistinct): "lacking clarity or distinctness". Example: "dim figure", "faint recollection". This is close, but Sense 2 specifically mentions "deficient in magnitude" and "barely perceptible", which is a better fit for a physical mark like a crease.
    *   Sense 6 (indistinctly understood): Not applicable.

    *   Sense 2: "deficient in magnitude; barely perceptible". A faint crease is one that is barely there.
    *   Sense 5: "lacking clarity or distinctness". This often refers to things that are blurry or vague.
    *   Comparing "faint outline" (Sense 2) with "faint recollection" (Sense 5). A crease is more like an outline (a physical mark) than a recollection (a mental state).

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit for a physical mark that is barely visible.

        3.  `crease%1:25:02::`: an angular or rounded shape made by folding (fold, plication, flexure, crimp, bend). Example: "a fold in the napkin; a crease in his trousers".

    *   The context describes a "faint crease" appearing "between the man's eyebrows".
    *   This refers to a facial expression, specifically a wrinkle or furrow caused by muscle movement (likely frowning or concentration).

    *   Sense 1 (dagger) is completely irrelevant.
    *   Sense 2 (slight depression/wrinkle/furrow) fits perfectly. The synonyms "wrinkle", "furrow", and "line" and the example "his face has many lines" align with a crease between eyebrows.
    *   Sense 3 (fold made by folding) usually refers to fabric or paper (e.g., trousers, napkins). While skin folds, a "crease between the eyebrows" is typically categorized as a wrinkle or furrow (Sense 2) rather than a fold made by folding the material.

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.

    *   The "faint crease" didn't "come into being" in an evolutionary or historical sense (Sense 3).
    *   It didn't "seem to be true" (Sense 5) or "give an impression" (Sense 7) in the way those senses are used (usually followed by an adjective or a clause).
    *   It didn't "appear in a play" (Sense 2), "appear in court" (Sense 4), or "be published" (Sense 6).
    *   It "came into sight or view" (Sense 1). When a crease appears on someone's forehead, it becomes visible.

    *   Sense 1: "come into sight or view". This fits perfectly. A crease becomes visible on the skin.
    *   Sense 3: "come into being or existence". While the crease "exists" now, "appear" in the context of facial expressions usually means "become visible". Sense 1 is more precise for visual manifestation.

    *   Sense 1: "He suddenly appeared at the wedding" (became visible).
    *   Context: "A faint crease appeared between the man's eyebrows" (became visible).

    *   Let's check Sense 11 synonyms: believe, consider, conceive.
    *   Let's check Sense 12 synonyms: opine, suppose, imagine, reckon, guess.
    *   "I believe you aren't taking me seriously" (Sense 11) vs "I suppose you aren't taking me seriously" (Sense 12).
    *   In this context, Pete is asserting his perception of Phil's attitude. "I think you aren't taking me seriously" is a judgment.

    *   Sense 11: judge or regard; look upon; judge.
    *   Sense 12: expect, believe, or suppose.
    *   If I say "I think it's raining," that's Sense 12 (suppose).
    *   If I say "I think he's a liar," that's Sense 11 (judge/regard).
    *   "I think you aren't taking me seriously" is a judgment of Phil's behavior/attitude.

    *   Sense 11: "I think he is very smart" -> "I think you aren't taking me seriously." (Both are judgments of a person's state/attribute).
    *   Sense 12: "I imagine she earned a lot of money" -> "I think it will rain." (Both are suppositions).

    The sentence "I think you aren't taking me seriously" is a judgment of the other person's current state of mind/attitude. This aligns best with Sense 11.

    *   Sense 1: denote or connote (e.g., 'maison' means 'house'). (Linguistic meaning)

    *   The speaker says, "I think you aren't taking me seriously, Phil. I meant it."
    *   "I meant it" in this context usually means "I was serious about what I said" or "I intended to convey exactly what I said."
    *   It's about the sincerity or the intent behind the expression.

    *   Sense 5: "mean or intend to express or convey" (synonym: intend). Example: "You never understand what I mean!"

    *   "I meant it" (referring to a previous statement) is a common idiom for "I was serious" or "I intended to express that sincerely."
    *   Sense 5 focuses on the expression/conveyance of a message.
    *   Sense 7 focuses on a goal or purpose.
    *   Sense 4 focuses on the object of reference.

    Comparing "I meant it" (I was serious) with Sense 5 ("intend to express or convey"):
    If someone says "I'm going to kill you" (as a joke) and the other person laughs, the first person might say "I'm joking," or if they were serious, they'd say "I meant it." This aligns with intending to express/convey the literal meaning of the words.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 5 vs Sense 7.
    Sense 5: "mean or intend to express or convey"
    Sense 7: "have in mind as a purpose"

    "I meant it" refers back to the statement "everybody has some kind of grudge" (or the implication that Phil has one). The speaker is asserting that their previous statement was sincere.

    Sense 5 is the best fit for "I meant [what I said]."

    *   Sense 1: No (not a definition).
    *   Sense 2: No (not about destination).
    *   Sense 3: No (not about importance).
    *   Sense 4: No (not referring to a specific person/thing as the object).
    *   Sense 5: Yes (expressing/conveying a serious intent).
    *   Sense 6: No (not a logical consequence).
    *   Sense 7: No (not a purpose/goal like "meant to help").

    Wait, let me double-check Sense 5 and Sense 7 again.
    Sense 5: "mean or intend to express or convey"
    Sense 7: "have in mind as a purpose"

    "I meant it" = "I intended to express that" or "I was serious in expressing that."
    Sense 5 fits perfectly.
