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

Sentence: He looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the <t>table</t>, smiling a secret smile at him, as if they were fellow conspirators.

Senses:
1. definition=a set of data arranged in rows and columns | examples=see table 1
2. definition=a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs | examples=it was a sturdy table
3. definition=a piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it | examples=I reserved a table at my favorite restaurant
4. definition=flat tableland with steep edges | examples=the tribe was relatively safe on the mesa but they had to descend into the valley for water
5. definition=a company of people assembled at a table for a meal or game | examples=he entertained the whole table with his witty remarks
6. definition=food or meals in general | examples=she sets a fine table

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "table" is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "He looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the <t>table</t>, smiling a secret smile at him, as if they were fellow conspirators."

3.  **Examine the Target Word in Context:** The word is "<t>table</t>". The context is "sitting across the table". This strongly suggests a piece of furniture or a surface used for sitting/dining.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a set of data arranged in rows and columns | examples=see table 1 (Data/Spreadsheet) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs | examples=it was a sturdy table (Furniture) -> *Fits.*
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it | examples=I reserved a table at my favorite restaurant (Dining furniture/setting) -> *Fits.*
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=flat tableland with steep edges | examples=the tribe was relatively safe on the mesa but they had to descend into the valley for water (Geographical feature) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=a company of people assembled at a table for a meal or game | examples=he entertained the whole table with his witty remarks (Group of people) -> *Does not fit.*
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=food or meals in general | examples=she sets a fine table (Food/Meal) -> *Does not fit.*

5.  **Compare Remaining Fits (Sense 2 vs. Sense 3):**
    *   The sentence describes a physical location where people sit ("sitting across the table").
    *   Sense 2: Piece of furniture (physical object).
    *   Sense 3: Piece of furniture *with tableware for a meal laid out on it* (focuses on the dining function).

    The context "sitting across the table" is highly general. However, Sense 2 is the most fundamental definition of a table (a piece of furniture). Sense 3 is a specific type of table (a dining table). Since the sentence only states the physical presence of the table where the stranger is sitting, Sense 2 is a valid interpretation, but Sense 3 is also highly plausible in a social context.

    Let's re-read the sentence: "beheld the stranger sitting across the table". This focuses on the physical arrangement.

    *If* the context were "He looked at the table setting," Sense 3 would be stronger.
    *Since* the context is simply "sitting across the table," Sense 2 (a piece of furniture) is the most direct and universally applicable sense.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 defines "table" as a piece of furniture.

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of the word "secret" (marked with `<t>secret</t>`) is used in the provided sentence. I must return only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "He looked up with bloodshot eyes and beheld the stranger sitting across the table, smiling a <t>secret</t> smile at him, as if they were fellow conspirators."

3.  **Analyze the Context of "secret smile":**
    *   The smile is described as "secret."
    *   It implies a hidden meaning, a shared understanding, or an action that is not openly displayed to others, suggesting a conspiracy.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses against the Context:**

    *   **1. definition=not open or public; kept private or not revealed | examples=a secret formula:** (Fits the idea of being hidden/not public.)
    *   **2. definition=conducted with or marked by hidden aims or methods | examples=clandestine intelligence operations:** (Focuses on methods/aims, less about the expression itself.)
    *   **3. definition=not openly made known | examples=a secret marriage:** (Similar to 1, focuses on the state of being unrevealed.)
    *   **4. definition=communicated covertly | examples=their secret signal was a wink:** (Focuses on communication method.)
    *   **5. definition=not expressed | examples=secret (or private) thoughts:** (Focuses on internal thoughts/feelings that are not shown.)
    *   **6. definition=designed to elude detection | examples=a hidden room or place of concealment such as a priest hole:** (Focuses on physical concealment.)
    *   **7. definition=hidden from general view or use | examples=a privy place to rest and think:** (Focuses on being hidden from view.)
    *   **8. definition=(of information) given in confidence or in secret | examples=this arrangement must be kept confidential:** (Focuses on information/confidentiality.)
    *   **9. definition=indulging only covertly | examples=a secret alcoholic:** (Focuses on behavior/indulgence.)
    *   **10. definition=having an import not apparent to the senses nor obvious to the intelligence; beyond ordinary understanding | examples=mysterious symbols:** (Focuses on mystery/deep meaning.)
    *   **11. definition=the next to highest level of official classification for documents:** (Specific to document classification.)

5.  **Determine the Best Fit:**
    *   The word "secret" modifies "smile." A secret smile is an expression that is hidden or not openly shown.
    *   Sense 1 ("not open or public; kept private or not revealed") and Sense 3 ("not openly made known") are strong candidates.
    *   Sense 5 ("not expressed") is also relevant, as a smile is an expression.
    *   However, the core meaning of a "secret" smile is that the expression is deliberately kept hidden or private, not openly displayed. Sense 1 captures this general concept of being kept private/unrevealed.

6.  **Final Check:** The smile is a private, hidden expression. Sense 1 is the most direct fit for the general concept of being kept private or not public.

    *   Definition 19: "observe as if with an eye" (Also fits, but 7 is more direct for the simple act of watching.)
    *   Definition 20: "observe, check out, and look over carefully or inspect" (Implies a detailed examination, perhaps too strong for just noticing someone sit down.)
    *   Definition 1: "perceive by sight" (Too general, 7 is more specific to the act of watching.)

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 7 ("see or watch") is the most appropriate fit for the context of noticing someone perform an action.

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

Sentence: The man was uncanny, like a <t>shadow</t>, and made as much noise as a shadow.

Senses:
1. definition=shade within clear boundaries
2. definition=an unilluminated area | examples=he moved off into the darkness
3. definition=something existing in perception only | 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 | examples=there wasn't a trace of evidence for the claim

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
9. definition=an inseparable companion | examples=the poor child was his mother's shadow

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "shadow" (from the provided list) is used in the sentence: "The man was uncanny, like a <t>shadow</t>, and made as much noise as a shadow."

2.  **Analyze the Sentence Context:**
    *   "The man was uncanny, like a shadow..." (Comparison/Simile)
    *   "...and made as much noise as a shadow." (The shadow is used as a measure of noise/presence.)

3.  **Analyze the Word "Shadow" in the Sentence:** The usage here is figurative. It suggests something dark, perhaps elusive, or a pervasive presence that is difficult to pin down, and it is used to quantify something (noise).

4.  **Evaluate the Senses against the Context:**

    *   *Sentence focus:* The shadow is used as a comparison and a measure of presence/effect.

    *   *Senses:*
        1. definition=shade within clear boundaries (Physical definition)
        2. definition=an unilluminated area | examples=he moved off into the darkness (Physical/spatial)
        3. definition=something existing in perception only | examples=a ghostly apparition at midnight (Perceptual/ephemeral)
        4. definition=a premonition of something adverse | examples=a shadow over his happiness (Figurative/foreboding)
        5. definition=an indication that something has been present | examples=there wasn't a trace of evidence for the claim (Indication/trace)
        6. definition=refuge from danger or observation | examples=he felt secure in his father's shadow (Protection/safety)
        7. definition=a dominating and pervasive presence | examples=he received little recognition working in the shadow of his father (Dominating/pervasive presence)
        8. definition=a spy employed to follow someone and report their movements (Person/agent)
        9. definition=an inseparable companion | examples=the poor child was his mother's shadow (Companion)

5.  **Match the Context to the Best Sense:**
    *   The phrase "made as much noise as a shadow" implies a quality of being pervasive, perhaps subtle but affecting, or a dominating presence.
    *   Sense 7: definition=a dominating and pervasive presence. This fits the idea of something that exists and affects the environment (like noise).

6.  **Final Check:** The sentence uses "shadow" to describe the man's uncanny nature and his ability to generate noise. While it could be interpreted as a simple dark area (Sense 2), the figurative use in the context of "uncanny" and "made as much noise" leans heavily toward a metaphorical presence or influence.

4.  **Re-evaluating the context and remaining options:**
    The sentence is: "The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow."
    "Made noise" means produced sound.

    Let's look closely at the definitions again, especially those related to causing an effect.

    *   5. definition=give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally (examples=cause a commotion) - This fits the idea of producing noise/a sound.
    *   4. definition=cause to do; cause to act in a specified manner (examples=The ads induced me to buy a VCR) - This is about causing an action. Making noise is causing a physical event (sound).

    If the intended meaning is simply producing sound, definition 5 (cause to happen/occur) is strong. If it emphasizes the active production of the noise, definition 4 (cause to do) might apply, but usually, "make noise" is a simple causative verb.

    Let's check the examples provided for 5: "cause a commotion." Making noise is a type of commotion.

    Let's check the examples provided for 4: "The ads induced me to buy a VCR." This is about causing a specific action.

    In the context of "made as much noise," the man is actively producing the noise. This aligns best with the idea of causing an event or occurrence (5).

    *Self-Correction/Final Check:* The structure "made as much noise" is a simple causative action resulting in a sound. Sense 5 ("give rise to; cause to happen or occur") is the most general fit for producing a phenomenon like noise.

Sentence: The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much <t>noise</t> as a shadow.

Senses:
1. definition=sound of any kind (especially unintelligible or dissonant sound) | examples=he enjoyed the street noises
2. definition=the auditory experience of sound that lacks musical quality; sound that is a disagreeable auditory experience | examples=modern music is just noise to me
3. definition=electrical or acoustic activity that can disturb communication
4. definition=a loud outcry of protest or complaint | examples=the announcement of the election recount caused a lot of noise
5. definition=incomprehensibility resulting from irrelevant information or meaningless facts or remarks | examples=all the noise in his speech concealed the fact that he didn't have anything to say
6. definition=the quality of lacking any predictable order or plan

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "noise" (from the provided list) is used in the sentence: "The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much <t>noise</t> as a shadow." I must return only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence Context:** "The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow."
    *   The phrase "made as much noise as a shadow" is a figure of speech, implying something is very subtle, absent, or perhaps just a comparison for emphasis.
    *   The word "noise" here is used in a non-literal, perhaps metaphorical, sense, or simply as a general descriptor of sound/disturbance.

3.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=sound of any kind (especially unintelligible or dissonant sound) | examples=he enjoyed the street noises. (Focuses on the physical sound itself.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the auditory experience of sound that lacks musical quality; sound that is a disagreeable auditory experience | examples=modern music is just noise to me. (Focuses on the *quality* of the sound being unpleasant or non-musical.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=electrical or acoustic activity that can disturb communication. (Focuses on the *activity* or *disturbance*.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a loud outcry of protest or complaint | examples=the announcement of the election recount caused a lot of noise. (Focuses on a specific type of loud, protest-like sound.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=incomprehensibility resulting from irrelevant information or meaningless facts or remarks | examples=all the noise in his speech concealed the fact that he didn't have anything to say. (Focuses on semantic/linguistic noise.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=the quality of lacking any predictable order or plan. (Focuses on disorder/randomness.)

4.  **Match the Sentence to the Senses:**

    *   The sentence uses "noise" in a general sense, comparing the man's effect to a shadow.
    *   If we interpret "made as much noise as a shadow" literally, it refers to sound (Sense 1 or 2).
    *   If we interpret it metaphorically (like a shadow is subtle), it might relate to lack of disturbance (Sense 3) or perhaps lack of substance/meaning (Sense 5).

    *   Let's re-examine the examples provided for the senses.
        *   Sense 1: street noises (physical sound).
        *   Sense 2: modern music is just noise (disagreeable auditory experience).
        *   Sense 3: electrical/acoustic activity that can disturb communication.
        *   Sense 4: loud outcry (protest).
        *   Sense 5: noise in speech (incomprehensibility).

    *   The sentence "made as much noise as a shadow" is highly abstract. However, in common usage, "noise" often refers to unwanted or disruptive sound/activity.

    *   If we consider the most general definition of noise as sound/activity that disturbs (Sense 3), it fits the general concept of making a sound.
    *   If we consider the context of the provided options, Sense 1 (sound of any kind) or Sense 2 (disagreeable auditory experience) are the most direct definitions of "noise" as a sensory input.

    *   Let's look at the structure: "made as much noise as a shadow." This suggests a comparison of magnitude or presence.

    *   If the intent is simply to describe the physical act of making sound, Sense 1 is the broadest definition of sound.
    *   If the intent is to describe the *quality* of the sound, Sense 2 applies.

    *   Given the ambiguity, let's consider the most common, non-specific usage of "noise" in a physical context. Sense 1 is the most fundamental definition: "sound of any kind."

    *   *Self-Correction/Refinement:* The sentence is highly poetic/figurative. However, since the options are provided, I must choose the best fit. If the sentence is meant to be taken literally as a statement about sound, Sense 1 is the base definition. If it is meant to imply a lack of substance (like a shadow), Sense 6 might be relevant, but "noise" is usually auditory.

    *   Let's stick to the auditory domain. Sense 1 (sound of any kind) is the most encompassing definition of the physical phenomenon being discussed.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence Context:** "The man was uncanny, like a shadow, and made as much noise as a shadow."
    *   The comparison is between the man/noise and a shadow.
    *   The word "shadow" is used metaphorically or figuratively, implying a quality or presence.

3.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   1. definition=shade within clear boundaries (Physical/literal)

    *   3. definition=something existing in perception only | examples=a ghostly apparition at midnight (Perceptual/abstract)

4.  **Match the Sentence to the Senses:**

    *   The sentence uses "like a shadow" (comparison) and "made as much noise as a shadow" (comparison of intensity/presence).
    *   The context suggests the shadow is used to emphasize the man's strange, perhaps overwhelming, presence or effect (uncanny, making noise).

    *   *Check against options:*
        *   If it were (1) or (2), the context would be purely physical (e.g., "He cast a shadow").
        *   If it were (3), it would be purely ghostly/perceptual.
        *   If it were (4), it would be about bad luck/foreboding.
        *   If it were (7), it means a "dominating and pervasive presence." This fits the idea of a man having a strong, noticeable, perhaps overwhelming effect (uncanny, making noise).
        *   If it were (9), it would mean companionship.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 7, "a dominating and pervasive presence," best captures the figurative use of "shadow" in the context of describing a man's uncanny nature and loud presence.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "trap" is used in the provided sentence.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "Haney felt like shrinking out of sight, but he was already trapped in the corner with the wiry, dark little man."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word Usage:** The word is "trapped". The context is "trapped in the corner."

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=place in a confining or embarrassing position | examples=He was trapped in a difficult situation (Focuses on location/situation).
    *   Sense 2: definition=catch in or as if in a trap | examples=The men trap foxes (Focuses on the action of catching/being caught).
    *   Sense 3: definition=hold or catch as if in a trap | examples=The gaps between the teeth trap food particles (Focuses on the physical action of holding/catching).

5.  **Match the Usage to the Senses:**
    *   The sentence describes Haney being physically confined ("trapped in the corner").
    *   Sense 1: "place in a confining or embarrassing position." (Fits well with being cornered/confined).
    *   Sense 2: "catch in or as if in a trap." (Less about the resulting state of being confined).

6.  **Refine the Distinction between 1 and 4:**
    *   "Trapped in the corner" implies both being in a confining position (1) and being prevented from moving (4).
    *   However, Sense 1 specifically addresses the *position* ("place in a confining or embarrassing position").
    *   Sense 4 addresses the *action/result* of being held fast ("prevent from moving").

7.  **Re-evaluate the Context:** While "trapped" often implies being held fast (4), the phrase "trapped in the corner" strongly emphasizes the *location* and *confinement*. Sense 1 is the most direct definition for being in a confining position.

8.  **Final Check:**
    *   Sentence: He was trapped in the corner.
    *   Sense 1: place in a confining or embarrassing position. (Strong fit)
    *   Sense 4: to hold fast or prevent from moving. (Good fit, but Sense 1 captures the spatial aspect better).

9.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the primary meaning conveyed by the context of being "trapped in the corner."

    *   Sense 8: "a predicament from which a skillful or graceful escape is impossible" (While "trapped" suggests a predicament, the immediate context is physical location).

5.  **Determine the Best Fit:** The most common usage of "trapped in the corner" refers to a physical location within a room or space defined by walls. Sense 3 ("an interior angle formed by two meeting walls") is the strongest fit for describing a confined physical space.

6.  **Final Check:**
    *   Sentence: trapped in the corner.
    *   Sense 3: a piano was in one corner of the room. (Matches the spatial confinement).

7.  **Conclusion:** The correct sense is 3.

    Let's re-examine the options based on the specific usage:

    *   If we look at the examples provided for Sense 1: "We began working at dawn." (Starting an activity.)
    *   The sentence: "He began to wish..." (Starting the activity of wishing.)

    Sense 1 is the best fit for initiating a general action.

5.  **Apply Senses to the Sentence Context:**
    *   The sentence describes a time when a truck was passing ("when the truck bore down through the crossing").

6.  **Evaluate the Options against the Context:**
    *   *Context Check:* The sentence doesn't strongly suggest "late afternoon/nightfall" (Sense 1) or "dinner until bedtime" (Sense 3). It is a general time period.
    *   *Sense 2 Check:* "a later concluding time period." This is a broad definition that fits the general usage of "evening" as a time slot.

    *   Sense 1 example: "he enjoyed the evening light across the lake" (Focuses on the light/period of day).
    *   Sense 2 example: "it was the evening of the Roman Empire" (Focuses on a concluding time period/era).
    *   Sense 3 example: "an evening at the opera" (Focuses on a special, often later, part of the day/night).

8.  **Final Determination:** The sentence uses "evening" simply as a time marker for a period of time. Sense 2 ("a later concluding time period") is the most general fit for this usage, whereas Sense 1 is too specific (light/daylight) and Sense 3 is too specific (dinner/bedtime/special event).

6. definition=(genetics) the act of mixing different species or varieties of animals or plants and thus to produce hybrids
7. definition=a voyage across a body of water (usually across the Atlantic Ocean)

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify the specific numbered sense of the word "crossing" used in the sentence: "He began to wish that he hadn't shouted that other evening when the truck bore down through the <t>crossing</t>."

2.  **Analyze the Sentence Context:** "the truck bore down through the crossing." This implies a physical location or passage that the truck moved through.

3.  **Analyze the Word "crossing":** The word is used in a context involving a truck and movement.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   *1. definition=traveling across:* (Too general, doesn't fit the noun usage here.)
    *   *2. definition=a shallow area in a stream that can be forded:* (Doesn't fit the context of a truck.)
    *   *3. definition=a point where two lines (paths or arcs etc.) intersect:* (Possible, but usually used for abstract paths or lines, less common for a road/path context.)
    *   *4. definition=a junction where one street or road crosses another:* (Plausible, but the sentence suggests movement *through* something, not just the intersection point itself.)
    *   *5. definition=a path (often marked) where something (as a street or railroad) can be crossed to get from one side to the other:* (This strongly matches the idea of a road/path that a vehicle moves through.)
    *   *6. definition=(genetics) the act of mixing different species or varieties of animals or plants and thus to produce hybrids:* (Irrelevant.)
    *   *7. definition=a voyage across a body of water (usually across the Atlantic Ocean):* (Irrelevant.)

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 5 best describes a physical path or route (like a road or railroad) that a vehicle would traverse.
