    Sense 1 is the most direct fit for the simple state of possessing something (an excuse).

6.  **Final Check:** The context uses "had an excuse," indicating possession or having access to something. Sense 1 is defined as "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense."

    *   **11. definition=(architecture) solid exterior angle of a building; especially one formed by a cornerstone | synonyms=quoin** (Relates to architecture/building angle.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The context describes sitting in a specific spot ("the usual corner at the little table"). This usage is most closely aligned with a physical location or a nook within a space.

    *   Sense 3 ("an interior angle formed by two meeting walls; synonyms=nook") fits well when describing a spot in a room.
    *   Sense 6 ("a small concavity; synonyms=recess, recession, niche") also fits if the corner is a physical indentation.

    Let's re-read the context: "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table..." This implies a specific spot or nook.

    Sense 3: "a piano was in one corner of the room." (A specific spot/nook.)
    Sense 6: "a small concavity." (A physical indentation.)

    Since the context is about sitting in a specific spot in a bar/room, Sense 3 (a nook/interior angle) or Sense 6 (a concavity/recess) are the strongest candidates.

    If we consider the common usage of "corner" in a room setting, it often refers to the angle formed by the walls (Sense 3).

    Let's check the examples for Sense 3: "a piano was in one corner of the room." This is highly relevant to the context of sitting in a specific spot.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 is the most appropriate definition for describing a specific spot or nook in a room.

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

Context: The stranger's eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings. It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual. He had been sitting in the usual corner at the <t>little</t> table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes. He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water.

Senses:
1. definition=limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent | synonyms=small | examples=a little dining room; a little house
2. definition=(quantifier used with mass nouns) small in quantity or degree; not much or almost none or (with `a') at least some | synonyms=slight | examples=little rain fell in May; gave it little thought
3. definition=(of children and animals) young, immature | synonyms=small | examples=what a big little boy you are; small children
4. definition=(informal) small and of little importance | synonyms=fiddling, footling, lilliputian, niggling, piddling, piffling | examples=a fiddling sum of money; a footling gesture
5. definition=(of a voice) faint | synonyms=small | examples=a little voice; a still small voice
6. definition=low in stature; not tall | synonyms=short | examples=he was short and stocky; short in stature
7. definition=lowercase | synonyms=minuscule, small | examples=little a; small a
8. definition=small in a way that arouses feelings (of tenderness or its opposite depending on the context) | examples=a nice little job; bless your little heart

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of the word "little" (marked with `<t></t>`) is used in the provided context.

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the <t>little</t> table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes. He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word Usage:** The word is "little table."

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent | synonyms=small | examples=a little dining room; a little house
        *   *Fit Check:* A "little table" suggests a table that is small in size or extent. This is a strong candidate.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=(quantifier used with mass nouns) small in quantity or degree; not much or almost none or (with `a') at least some | synonyms=slight | examples=little rain fell in May; gave it little thought
        *   *Fit Check:* This sense applies to uncountable nouns (mass nouns) or abstract concepts (e.g., little time, little money). "Table" is a countable noun, so this is less likely.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=(of children and animals) young, immature | synonyms=small | examples=what a big little boy you are; small children
        *   *Fit Check:* The context is about an adult sitting at a table, not about children or animals. (Reject)

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=(informal) small and of little importance | synonyms=fiddling, footling, lilliputian, niggling, piddling, piffling | examples=a fiddling sum of money; a footling gesture
        *   *Fit Check:* "Little table" doesn't imply small importance. (Reject)

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=(of a voice) faint | synonyms=small | examples=a little voice; a still small voice
        *   *Fit Check:* Not related to a table or voice. (Reject)

    *   **Sense 6:** definition=low in stature; not tall | synonyms=short | examples=he was short and stocky; short in stature
        *   *Fit Check:* While a table could be short, this sense usually applies to people or physical height. Sense 1 is a more direct fit for describing the size/extent of an object like a table.

    *   **Sense 7:** definition=lowercase | synonyms=minuscule, small | examples=little a; small a
        *   *Fit Check:* Not related to typography. (Reject)

    *   **Sense 8:** definition=small in a way that arouses feelings (of tenderness or its opposite depending on the context) | examples=a nice little job; bless your little heart
        *   *Fit Check:* Not related to a table. (Reject)

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1, which defines "little" as "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent," perfectly describes a "little table."

He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word in Context:** The word is "friendly" modifying "lushes" (people/patrons). The phrase is "talkative, friendly lushes." This suggests a positive social disposition or demeanor.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=characteristic of or befitting a friend | examples=friendly advice; a friendly neighborhood
        *   *Check:* Does "friendly" describe a characteristic of a friend or something fitting for a friend? Yes. (e.g., a friendly person).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=inclined to help or support; not antagonistic or hostile | synonyms=favorable, well-disposed | examples=a government friendly to our interests; an amicable agreement
        *   *Check:* Does "friendly" mean inclined to help or support? Yes. (e.g., a friendly attitude).

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=easy to understand or use | examples=user-friendly computers; a consumer-friendly policy
        *   *Check:* Does "friendly" mean easy to understand? No.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=of or belonging to your own country's forces or those of an ally | examples=in friendly territory; he was accidentally killed by friendly fire
        *   *Check:* Does "friendly" relate to military forces/allies? No.

5.  **Compare Context to Senses 1 and 2:**
    *   The context uses "friendly lushes" to describe people who are talkative and presumably pleasant or welcoming.
    *   Sense 1 focuses on being characteristic of a friend (fitting a friend).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on being inclined to help or support (not hostile/antagonistic).

    In the context of describing people or social interactions ("talkative, friendly lushes"), Sense 1 (characteristic of a friend) or Sense 2 (not hostile/well-disposed) are the most relevant. Since "friendly" in a social context often implies being pleasant, amiable, or welcoming, Sense 1 (characteristic of a friend) is a very strong fit, as is Sense 2 (not antagonistic).

    Let's re-read the options provided for the senses to see if there is a clearer distinction.
    Sense 1: characteristic of or befitting a friend.
    Sense 2: inclined to help or support; not antagonistic or hostile.

    The usage "friendly lushes" describes the *nature* of the people. This aligns well with the idea of being "well-disposed" or "not hostile" (Sense 2), or simply being characteristic of a friend (Sense 1).

    However, in common usage, when describing people as "friendly," we are usually describing their disposition—they are not hostile and are approachable. Sense 2 captures this disposition ("not antagonistic or hostile").

    Let's assume the standard interpretation:
    *   Friendly advice (S1) -> characteristic of a friend.
    *   Friendly to our interests (S2) -> inclined to help/support.

    The context is describing people who are "talkative" and "friendly." This describes their disposition (not hostile/antagonistic).

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* While Sense 1 is plausible, Sense 2 (not antagonistic or hostile) is a more direct description of a positive social disposition, which is what "friendly" implies in this social setting.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2.

2.  **Examine the Context:** "He was <t>enjoying</t> the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water. This favorite grievance was not the landlord."

3.  **Analyze the Usage:** The subject (He) is performing an action (enjoying) related to a specific activity (washing down a grievance with bourbon). The context suggests pleasure or satisfaction derived from this ritual.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in | synonyms=bask, relish, savor, savour | examples=She relished her fame and basked in her glory
        *   *Match Check:* This definition focuses directly on deriving pleasure/enjoyment. This seems highly relevant.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=have benefit from | examples=enjoy privileges
        *   *Match Check:* The context is about personal pleasure/ritual, not receiving a formal benefit or privilege. (No match)

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=get pleasure from | synonyms=love | examples=I love cooking
        *   *Match Check:* This is close, but Sense 1 uses stronger synonyms (relish, savor) and focuses on the *act* of deriving pleasure, which fits the ritualistic description well.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=have for one's benefit | examples=The industry enjoyed a boom
        *   *Match Check:* The context is about the individual's experience, not a general benefit to an industry. (No match)

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=take delight in | synonyms=delight, revel | examples=he delights in his granddaughter
        *   *Match Check:* This is also very close to Sense 1, focusing on delight.

5.  **Compare the Best Fits (1, 3, 5):**
    *   The action is "enjoying the weekly ritual."
    *   Sense 1: "derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in." (Strong fit)
    *   Sense 3: "get pleasure from." (Good fit)
    *   Sense 5: "take delight in." (Good fit)

    *   *Refinement:* Sense 1 uses the phrase "derive or receive pleasure from" and includes synonyms like "relish" and "savor," which perfectly capture the sense of savoring a specific, perhaps slightly negative, ritualistic pleasure ("pet grievance").

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most precise definition for deriving pleasure from a specific activity or experience.

Context: It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual. He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes. He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet <t>grievance</t> with bourbon slightly moistened with water. This favorite grievance was not the landlord.

4.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The context describes a "pet grievance" that the person washes down with bourbon. This suggests a source of resentment or a complaint.
    *   Sense 1 (resentment strong enough to justify retaliation/grudge/score) fits the idea of a "pet grievance."
    *   Sense 2 (allegation imposing illegal obligation/denying legal right/injustice) is too formal and legalistic for "washing down" a personal grievance.
    *   Sense 3 (a complaint about a wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action) fits the idea of a "complaint" or "grievance" that causes "resentment."

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3:**

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid; freezes into ice below 0 degrees centigrade and boils above 100 degrees centigrade; widely used as a solvent | synonyms=H2O.

    *   Sense 1 (H2O, solvent) fits the physical substance aspect.
    *   Sense 2 (Body of water) does not fit (it's not a river or ocean).
    *   Sense 6 (Necessary for life, drink of water) is plausible, but the specific action is "moistened with."
    *   Sense 4 (Facility) does not fit.
    *   Sense 5 (Excretory product) does not fit.

    Sense 1 describes water as a liquid, a compound, and a solvent, which is the most direct description of the substance being used to moisten the bourbon.

        *   *Check against context:* The text uses the word "pet grievance." "Pet" is a synonym for "preferred" or "best-loved."

This aligns perfectly with the definition: "preferred above all others and treated with partiality."

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the correct meaning.

6.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 2.

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "real" (marked with <t>real</t>) is used in the provided context.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes. He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water. This favorite grievance was not the landlord. He had already quite forgotten about him.

Toward the end of his fourth hairy highball, while he was moodily making wet rings on the table-top with the bottom of the glass, he became aware that he was not alone."

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "real" in Context:** The sentence states, "His *real* grievance was Lolly." This implies that Lolly is the *actual*, *genuine*, or *true* grievance, distinguishing it from other potential grievances (like the landlord).

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=being or occurring in fact or actuality; having verified existence; not illusory; synonyms=existent; examples=real objects; real people; not ghosts. (Focuses on factual existence/actuality.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=no less than what is stated; worthy of the name; examples=the real reason; real war. (Focuses on being genuine or true.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=not to be taken lightly; examples=statistics demonstrate that poverty and unemployment are very real problems; homelessness is real. (Focuses on seriousness/significance.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=capable of being treated as fact; synonyms=tangible; examples=tangible evidence; few real benefits. (Focuses on tangibility/factuality.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something; synonyms=actual, genuine, literal; examples=her actual motive; a literal solitude like a desert. (Focuses on essence/genuineness.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=of, relating to, or representing an amount that is corrected for inflation; examples=real prices; real income. (Focuses on economic/adjusted value.)
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=having substance or capable of being treated as fact; not imaginary; synonyms=substantial, material; examples=the substantial world; a mere dream, neither substantial nor practical. (Similar to 1 and 4, focusing on substance/fact.)
    *   **Sense 8:** definition=(of property) fixed or immovable; examples=real property consists of land and buildings. (Specific to property.)
    *   **Sense 9:** definition=coinciding with reality; synonyms=veridical; examples=perceptual error...has a surprising resemblance to veridical perception. (Focuses on correspondence with reality.)

5.  **Match Context to Best Sense:**
    The context uses "real grievance." This means the *genuine* or *true* grievance.

    *   Sense 5: "being or reflecting the essential or genuine character of something; synonyms=actual, genuine, literal; examples=her actual motive." This fits the idea of identifying the true, essential grievance.
    *   Sense 2: "no less than what is stated; worthy of the name; examples=the real reason." This also fits the idea of truth/genuineness.
    *   Sense 1 and 7 focus more on physical existence/substance.

    Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 5:
    Context: "His real grievance was Lolly." (Identifying the true/genuine grievance.)
    Sense 5 emphasizes "genuine character" and "actual motive."
    Sense 2 emphasizes "no less than what is stated" and "worthy of the name."

    In the context of identifying a specific, true motivation or grievance, Sense 5 ("genuine character") is a very strong fit. However, Sense 2 ("worthy of the name," "real reason") is also highly applicable.

    Let's re-examine the common usage. When we say something is the "real" reason or grievance, we are usually referring to the genuine, true, or essential nature of it. Sense 5 captures this essence best.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* If the context were about physical objects ("real objects"), Sense 1 or 7 would be better. Since it is about an abstract concept (grievance), Sense 5 (genuine character) or Sense 2 (truth/worthiness) are the strongest candidates. Sense 5 is often used when distinguishing between superficial and essential aspects.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 5 aligns perfectly with the idea of identifying the essential or genuine character of the grievance.

    *   Sense 2: definition=an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice
    *   Sense 3: definition=a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action

4.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   The text describes a "pet grievance" that he washes down with bourbon.
    *   It is "not the landlord" (which he forgot about).
    *   His "real grievance was Lolly."
    *   The overall tone is one of resentment and a specific wrong (Lolly).

    *   *Check Sense 1:* "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation." (Fits the idea of a "pet grievance" and washing it down with bourbon.)
    *   *Check Sense 2:* "an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice." (The text doesn't suggest a legal or formal allegation.)
    *   *Check Sense 3:* "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action." (Fits the idea of a "complaint about a wrong that causes resentment.")

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 1 focuses on the *strength* (justifies retaliation, grudge, score).
    *   Sense 3 focuses on the *nature* (complaint about a wrong, causes resentment, grounds for action).

    The text uses "grievance" in a personal, emotional, and resentful sense ("pet grievance," "real grievance was Lolly"). Sense 3 captures this emotional complaint aspect very well. Sense 1 is also plausible, but Sense 3 is a more direct definition of a "complaint about a wrong."

    Let's re-read the context: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance..." This suggests a specific, ongoing source of resentment/complaint.

    Sense 3: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action." This is the most comprehensive fit for a personal, emotional complaint that fuels resentment.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 3.
