Target lemma: ask
Target surface form: asked
Context:
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 wish 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? He'd have to start going to some of the other places again. In a low voice, almost whispering, the man had <t>asked</t> Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back. He made the mistake of answering in an offhand way, and instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice.

    *   Context: "In a low voice, almost whispering, the man had <t>asked</t> Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back."

    *   Sense 1: address a question to and expect an answer from (e.g., "Ask your teacher about trigonometry")
    *   Sense 2: direct or put; seek an answer to (e.g., "ask a question")
    *   Sense 3: make a request or demand for something to somebody (e.g., "asked him for a loan")
    *   Sense 4: inquire about (e.g., "asked about their special today")
    *   Sense 5: consider obligatory; request and expect (e.g., "require our secretary to be on time")

    *   Sense 7: require or ask for as a price or condition (e.g., "asking $200 for the table")

    *   The sentence is: "...the man had asked Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back."
    *   The man is posing a question to Phil.
    *   The structure is "asked [person] [if/whether clause]". This is a classic indirect question.

    *   Sense 1: "address a question to and expect an answer from". This fits perfectly. The man is addressing a question to Phil.
    *   Sense 2: "direct or put; seek an answer to". This usually takes the question itself as the object (e.g., "ask a question").
    *   Sense 3: "make a request or demand". This is not a request for an object or action, but a question for information.
    *   Sense 4: "inquire about". This usually takes a topic as the object (e.g., "ask about the weather"). While similar to Sense 1, Sense 1 specifically mentions addressing the question *to* someone.
    *   Sense 5, 6, 7: These involve requirements or prices, which are not applicable here.

    *   Sense 1: "address a question to and expect an answer from" (Example: "Ask your teacher about trigonometry").
    *   The context "asked Phil if he was happy..." matches the pattern of addressing a question to a person.

    *   Sense 1 is the most accurate description of asking someone a question.

    *   Context: "...the man had asked Phil if he was happy with the <t>way</t> the landlord had been taken off his back."
    *   Target phrase: "the way the landlord had been taken off his back"

    *   Sense 1: portion divided into shares (e.g., "split the loot three ways") - No.
    *   Sense 2: how something is done or how it happens (synonyms: manner, mode, style, fashion) - Yes, this fits. "The manner in which the landlord had been taken off his back."
    *   Sense 3: a course of conduct (synonyms: path, way of life) - No.
    *   Sense 4: the condition of things generally (e.g., "that's the way it is") - No.
    *   Sense 5: how a result is obtained or an end is achieved (synonyms: means, agency) - This is close, but "the way [something happened]" usually refers to the manner (Sense 2) rather than the means (Sense 5). Let's re-evaluate.
    *   Sense 6: a line leading to a place (synonyms: direction) - No.
    *   Sense 7: a road or path - No.
    *   Sense 8: general category (in the way of) - No.

    *   Sense 11: property of distance - No.
    *   Sense 12: space for movement - No.

    *   Sense 2: "how something is done or how it happens" (manner, mode, style, fashion).
    *   Sense 5: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved" (means, agency).

    In the sentence "the way the landlord had been taken off his back," the speaker is referring to the *manner* or *process* by which the landlord was dealt with.

    Example for Sense 2: "his rapid manner of talking" (how he talks).
    Example for Sense 5: "a means of control" (the tool/method used to control).

    "The way the landlord had been taken off his back" describes the *manner* in which the event occurred.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 2 again: "how something is done or how it happens".
    Let's look at Sense 5 again: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved".

    If the landlord was "taken off his back" (meaning the problem with the landlord was solved), the "way" refers to the method or manner used to achieve that result.

    Comparing "manner" (Sense 2) vs "means" (Sense 5):
    - Manner: *How* it was done (e.g., politely, aggressively, sneakily).
    - Means: *What* was used to do it (e.g., by paying him, by threatening him).

    In common usage, "the way [clause]" usually maps to "the manner in which [clause]".

    Let's check the context again: "the man had asked Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back."
    This is asking about the method/manner of the resolution.

    Sense 2: "how something is done or how it happens"
    Sense 5: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved"

    Actually, Sense 2 is more general and fits "the way [clause]" constructions better. Sense 5 is often used as a noun phrase ("a way to...", "the way of...").

    Let's re-read Sense 2: "how something is done or how it happens".
    Let's re-read Sense 5: "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved".

    If I say "I don't like the way he talks," that's Sense 2.
    If I say "Is there a way to open this door?" that's Sense 5.
    If I say "I like the way you handled that," that's Sense 2.

    "The way the landlord had been taken off his back" is very similar to "the way you handled that." It refers to the manner/process.

    Sense 2: manner, mode, style, fashion.
    Sense 5: means, agency.

    The phrase "the way the landlord had been taken off his back" refers to the manner/method of the action. Sense 2 is the most fitting.

    Wait, let me double-check Sense 5 again. "how a result is obtained or an end is achieved".
    "Taking the landlord off his back" is the result. The "way" is how that result was obtained.

    However, in linguistic corpora, "the way [that]..." usually maps to "manner" (Sense 2).

    Let's look at the examples again.
    Sense 2: "her dignified manner; his rapid manner of talking"
    Sense 5: "a means of control; an example is the best agency of instruction"

    The sentence "the way the landlord had been taken off his back" is describing the *manner* of the action.

    Let's check if there are any other options.
    Sense 4: "the condition of things generally" - No.

    Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 5 again:
    Sense 2: how something is done (manner).
    Sense 5: how a result is obtained (means).

    "The way the landlord had been taken off his back" -> The manner in which the landlord was dealt with.

    If the question was "Is there a way to get the landlord off your back?", that would be Sense 5 (means).
    But "the way the landlord *had been* taken off his back" refers to a specific event that already happened, describing the manner of that event.

    Therefore, Sense 2 is the best fit.

He'd have to start going to some of the other places again. In a low voice, almost whispering, the man had asked Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back.

    *   Sense 5 ("perceive (an idea or situation) mentally") and Sense 6 ("be fully aware or cognizant of") are very close.
    *   Context: "...instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
    *   This is a sudden realization or becoming aware of a fact/situation.
    *   Sense 5 is often used for understanding a concept or a point ("I see your point").
    *   Sense 6 is often used for becoming aware of a fact or a state of affairs ("I realized I had left my keys").
    *   In this context, "realized that his skepticism must have showed" fits "be fully aware or cognizant of" (Sense 6) or "perceive mentally" (Sense 5).
    *   Let's look at the synonyms:
        *   Sense 5: understand, realise, see.
        *   Sense 6: recognize, recognise, realise, agnize, agnise.
    *   "Realize" in the sense of "suddenly become aware" is typically mapped to Sense 6 in many WordNet-based datasets when it refers to a state of awareness. However, Sense 5 is "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally".
    *   Comparing "perceive mentally" vs "be fully aware or cognizant of":
        *   "He realized that his skepticism must have showed" $\rightarrow$ He became aware of the fact.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 5 and 6.
        *   Sense 5: "perceive (an idea or situation) mentally" (e.g., "Now I see!").
        *   Sense 6: "be fully aware or cognizant of" (e.g., "recognize").
    *   Actually, in many versions of WordNet, "realize" as in "become aware" is often grouped. Let's look closer at the nuances.
    *   "Realize that [clause]" usually means becoming aware of a fact.
    *   Sense 5: perceive (an idea or situation) mentally.
    *   Sense 6: be fully aware or cognizant of.
    *   If he "realized that his skepticism must have showed", he became aware of the situation.
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 5: "Now I see!", "I just can't see your point". These are more about understanding a logic or a point.
    *   Sense 6 is more about recognition or awareness of a fact. "He realized (became aware) that his skepticism showed."

    *   Sense 5: understand/perceive.
    *   Sense 6: be aware/recognize.
    *   The context "realized that his skepticism must have showed" is a realization of a fact/state. This aligns better with "be fully aware or cognizant of".

    *   Wait, let me double-check. In some WordNet versions, Sense 5 is "become aware of" and Sense 6 is "recognize".
    *   Let's look at the provided definitions again:
        *   5: perceive (an idea or situation) mentally | synonyms=understand, realise, see
        *   6: be fully aware or cognizant of | synonyms=recognize, recognise, realise, agnize, agnise
    *   "Realized that his skepticism must have showed" $\rightarrow$ He became aware of this fact.
    *   Is "perceive mentally" (5) or "be fully aware" (6) better?
    *   Usually, "realize" in the sense of "suddenly understand/become aware" is Sense 6 (cognizant). Sense 5 is more like "comprehend".
    *   Example: "I realize now that I was wrong" (Sense 6 - aware). "I realize how this works" (Sense 5 - understand).
    *   "He realized that his skepticism must have showed" is more like "I realize now that I was wrong".

    *   Sense 6: be fully aware or cognizant of.
    *   Sense 5: perceive (an idea or situation) mentally.
    *   The act of realizing that something is happening or has happened is becoming cognizant of it.

    *   Sense 6 is the best fit for "becoming aware of a fact".

    *   The sentence describes a person's internal state (skepticism) becoming apparent through external cues (face or voice).
    *   "Skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."

    *   Sense 1: indicate a certain reading (gauges/instruments) - No.

    *   Sense 6: show in a picture (depict) - No.

    *   Sense 8: be or become visible or noticeable (intransitive: "His good upbringing really shows") - This fits well. The skepticism became visible/noticeable.

    *   Sentence: "...his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
    *   Structure: [Subject: skepticism] [Verb: showed] [Prepositional Phrase: in his face or voice].
    *   Sense 8: "be or become visible or noticeable" (Example: "His good upbringing really shows"). This matches the intransitive usage where the subject is the thing becoming apparent.
    *   Sense 12: "give expression to" (Example: "She showed her disappointment"). This is transitive (Subject: She, Object: disappointment).

    *   Sense 8 is the best fit because the subject ("skepticism") is the thing that became visible/noticeable.

Target lemma: face
Target surface form: face
Context:
Haney felt like shrinking 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. Was he going to be saddled from now on with a creep for a bar - buddy? He'd have to start going to some of the other places again. In a low voice, almost whispering, the man had asked Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back. He made the mistake of answering in an offhand way, and instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his <t>face</t> or voice. Pete frowned slightly, then became sad and moody.

    *   Target surface form: `face`
    *   Context: "...instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his <t>face</t> or voice."
    *   Key phrase: "skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."

    *   1: a part of a person that is used to refer to a person (metonymy for person)
    *   2: the front of the human head from the forehead to the chin and ear to ear (anatomical)
    *   3: status in the eyes of others (social standing/honor)

    *   The sentence says "skepticism must have showed in his face or voice."
    *   Skepticism is an emotion/attitude.
    *   When an emotion "shows in the face," it refers to the facial expression.
    *   Sense 2 is the anatomical part.
    *   Sense 4 is "the feelings expressed on a person's face" (synonyms: expression, look, facial expression).
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 4:
        *   Sense 2: "he washed his face" (physical part).
        *   Sense 4: "a sad expression; a look of triumph" (the expression on the face).
    *   In the context "skepticism must have showed in his face," it's not just the physical skin and bone (Sense 2), but the *expression* (Sense 4) that conveys the skepticism.

    *   Sense 4 specifically mentions "the feelings expressed on a person's face" and lists "facial expression" as a synonym. This fits perfectly with "skepticism must have showed in his face."

    *   Sense 1: No, not referring to a person as a "face".
    *   Sense 2: Possible, but Sense 4 is more precise for "showing" an emotion.
    *   Sense 3: No, not about losing face/status.
    *   Sense 11: No, not necessarily a grimace.

    *   Context: "...instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his face or <t>voice</t>."
    *   Surrounding context: The character (Phil/Haney) is interacting with a man. The man spoke in a "low voice, almost whispering." Phil answered in an "offhand way." Now he realizes his skepticism showed in his "face or voice."

    *   1: the ability to speak (e.g., "lost his voice") - No.
    *   2: expressing in coherent verbal form (articulation) - No.
    *   3: the sound made by the vibration of vocal folds (the physical sound/vocalization) - Possible, but usually refers to the mechanism or the general sound.
    *   4: melody in polyphonic music - No.
    *   5: something suggestive of speech (voice of conscience) - No.
    *   6: the distinctive quality or pitch or condition of a person's speech (e.g., "shrill voice") - This fits well. Skepticism is expressed through the *quality* or *tone* of the voice.

    *   Sense 6: "the distinctive quality or pitch or condition of a person's speech" (The specific way someone sounds, which conveys emotion or attitude).

    In the sentence "his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice," the author is referring to the *tone* or *quality* of the voice that betrays an emotion (skepticism), not the mere fact that he was making sounds (vocalization). This aligns perfectly with Sense 6.

    *   Sense 6: "the distinctive quality or pitch or condition of a person's speech"
    *   Example: "A shrill voice sounded behind us"
    *   Context: "skepticism must have showed in his... voice" (The quality of the voice revealed the skepticism).

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.
