3.  **Analyze the Target Phrase:** "When the light went their way, they went on across the street."

4.  **Determine the Meaning of "went their way":** This phrase implies movement or direction. The light changed, and they proceeded in that direction.

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

    *   **1. definition=how something is done or how it happens | synonyms=manner, mode, style, fashion:** (Doesn't fit movement/direction.)
    *   **2. definition=how a result is obtained or an end is achieved | synonyms=means, agency:** (Doesn't fit movement/direction.)
    *   **3. definition=a line leading to a place or point | synonyms=direction:** (Fits perfectly. The light indicated the direction they should go.)
    *   **4. definition=the condition of things generally:** (Doesn't fit.)
    *   **5. definition=a course of conduct:** (Doesn't fit.)
    *   **6. definition=any artifact consisting of a road or path affording passage from one place to another:** (Too specific, usually refers to a physical road, not a light's direction.)
    *   **7. definition=a journey or passage:** (Possible, but sense 3 is more precise for the phrase "went their way" in relation to a light.)
    *   **8. definition=space for movement:** (Doesn't fit.)
    *   **9. definition=the property of distance in general:** (Doesn't fit.)
    *   **10. definition=doing as one pleases or chooses:** (Doesn't fit.)
    *   **11. definition=a general category of things; used in the expression `in the way of'`:** (Doesn't fit.)

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 (a line leading to a place or point / direction) is the correct interpretation for "went their way" in the context of a traffic light.

Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges.

3.  **Analyze the Target Word Usage:** The word is "<t>stranger</t>".
    "...And when the stranger found out that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars, he insisted on offering to buy drinks for both of them."

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found | synonyms=alien, unknown
    *   Sense 2: definition=an individual that one is not acquainted with

5.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    *   The context describes a person (the stranger) who is encountered unexpectedly and is not known to the speaker (Haney/Phil).
    *   Sense 1 focuses on belonging/environment (alien, unknown).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on acquaintance (not acquainted with).

6.  **Determine the Best Fit:** While Sense 2 (not acquainted with) is true, Sense 1 (does not belong in the environment) often captures the connotation of a "stranger" encountered in a specific social setting, especially when contrasted with the known individuals (Phil). However, let's re-read the definition of Sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with." This is the most direct and common definition of a stranger in everyday conversation.

    *   *Self-Correction/Refinement:* Both senses overlap. However, the core meaning of "stranger" is usually someone you don't know. Sense 2 is the most precise definition of *not acquainted with*.

7.  **Final Selection:** The context uses "stranger" to refer to an unknown person encountered in a social situation. This aligns perfectly with the definition: "an individual that one is not acquainted with." This corresponds to Sense 2.

3.  **Analyze the Target Phrase:** "<t>found out</t> that Phil was on the way to one of his favorite bars."
    The meaning here is: the stranger became aware of/learned the information that Phil was going to a bar.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   Sense 3: "find out, learn, or determine with certainty, usually by making an inquiry or other effort" -> While technically correct, Sense 2 captures the simple act of becoming aware of a fact (learning that Phil was going to a bar) more precisely than the active effort implied by Sense 3.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage "found out that..." in this sentence means "learned/became aware that...". This aligns best with Sense 2.

3.  **Examine the Target Word Usage:** The word is "favorite" (and "favorite" again).

    *   Usage 1: "...one of his favorite bars..." (Referring to a place he likes/goes to.)
    *   Usage 2: "...nursing his favorite grudges." (Referring to grudges he holds dear/cherishes.)

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

5.  **Match Usage to Senses:**

    *   *Usage 1 (favorite bars):* While a favorite bar is liked, the context doesn't suggest it's *preferred above all others* or *treated with partiality* in a deep, emotional sense. It simply means a preferred place.
    *   *Usage 2 (favorite grudges):* Grudges are negative feelings. To nurse (keep/cherish) a favorite grudge implies that this specific grudge is particularly important, cherished, or held dear above others. This aligns strongly with the definition: "preferred above all others and treated with partiality."

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage in the context (especially "favorite grudges") aligns best with Sense 2.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "When the light went their way, they went on across the street.

Phil usually went alone and kept to himself, sitting in a corner and passing the time by nursing his favorite grudges."

3.  **Examine the Target Word and its Usage:** The word is "insisted." The phrase is "he insisted on offering to buy drinks." This means he firmly demanded or strongly stated his intention to offer the drinks.

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**

    *   Sense 1 (emphatic/resolute, refuse to budge) fits the idea of Phil making a firm move to offer the drinks.
    *   Sense 2 (beg persistently) does not fit; it's not a plea for help.

    *   The context is: "he insisted on offering to buy drinks."

    *   Sense 11: definition=make available; provide (synonyms=extend). (Example: extend a loan). This is a general provision.

    Since the stranger is *offering* the drinks (presenting them for acceptance/rejection), Sense 2 is highly appropriate.

6.  **Final Check:** The structure "offering to buy drinks" aligns perfectly with the idea of presenting something for acceptance (Sense 2).

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   1. definition=an instance or single occasion for some event | synonyms=clip | examples=this time he succeeded; he called four times (Focuses on a single event/instance.) -> *Does not fit "passing the time."*

6.  **Re-evaluate Senses 2 and 3 based on "passing the time":**
    "Passing the time" implies occupying a duration.
    *   Sense 2: "a period of time considered as a resource under your control and sufficient to accomplish something." (Fits the idea of using time to occupy oneself.)
    *   Sense 3: "an indefinite period (usually marked by specific attributes or activities)." (Fits the idea of an indefinite period of waiting.)

    However, the most common usage of "passing the time" relates to the duration of the activity itself, often framed as a period of time being utilized. Sense 2 emphasizes time as a resource used for an activity.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "take time to smell the roses; I didn't have time to finish." These examples deal with the management and allocation of time.

    The phrase "passing the time" is about occupying the duration. Sense 2 captures the idea of time as a resource that can be spent or used.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the best fit for the meaning of "passing the time" (spending time/using time as a resource).
