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

Context: The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection. Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before. His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an <t>old</t> friend. So the driver started to curse at both of them as if they had been in a plot together to ruin his safe-driving record.

1. definition=(used especially of persons) having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age | examples=his mother is very old; a ripe old age

4. definition=skilled through long experience | synonyms=older | examples=an old offender; the older soldiers
5. definition=belonging to some prior time | synonyms=erstwhile, former, onetime, quondam, sometime | examples=erstwhile friend; our former glory
6. definition=(used informally especially for emphasis) | synonyms=honest-to-god, honest-to-goodness, sure-enough | examples=a real honest-to-god live cowboy; had us a high old time

    *   **14. definition=bulge outward** (Physical shape.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The driver "started to curse." This means the driver initiated the action of cursing.

    *   Sense 1 (take the first step in carrying out an action): Fits well.
    *   Sense 2 (set in motion, cause to start): Fits well.
    *   Sense 8 (get going or set in motion): Fits well.
    *   Sense 9 (begin or set in motion): Fits well.
    *   Sense 13 (begin an event implied by the object): Fits well (starting the act of cursing).

    Let's compare 1, 2, 8, and 9. They are all very close.
    *   1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action"
    *   2: "set in motion, cause to start"
    *   8: "get going or set in motion"
    *   9: "begin or set in motion"

    The phrase "started to curse" is a clear initiation of an action. Sense 9 ("begin or set in motion") is a very direct synonym for this usage. Sense 2 ("set in motion, cause to start") is also excellent. Sense 8 ("get going or set in motion") is also excellent.

    Since 9 is a general definition of "begin or set in motion," and the context describes the driver initiating the act of cursing, 9 is a strong candidate.

    Let's re-read the options for 9: definition=begin or set in motion | synonyms=go, get going | examples=I start at eight in the morning; Ready, set, go!

    Let's re-read the options for 8: definition=get going or set in motion | synonyms=start up | examples=We simply could not start the engine; start up the computer

    The context is about the driver initiating a verbal action (cursing). This is a clear "beginning" or "setting in motion" of that action. Both 8 and 9 are highly applicable. In many standardized tests, "begin or set in motion" (9) is the most encompassing definition for initiating an action.

    Let's select 9 as the most precise fit for initiating an action.

3.  **Identify the Target Word and its Usage:** The target is `<t>man</t>`. The sentence is: "Then the man he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word."

4.  **Determine the Meaning of "man" in Context:**
    *   The context refers to a "stranger" who was saved by the speaker/group.
    *   The "man" is the person who was saved.
    *   The relationship described is one of a rescuer and a rescued person.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   *1. definition=an adult person who is male (as opposed to a woman) | synonyms=adult male | examples=there were two women and six men on the bus* (Possible, but too specific.)

    *   *3. definition=the generic use of the word to refer to any human being | examples=it was every man for himself* (Plausible, but usually, if a specific person is being referenced, a more specific sense is preferred.)
    *   *4. definition=any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae characterized by superior intelligence, articulate speech, and erect carriage | synonyms=homo, human being, human* (Too biological/scientific.)
    *   *5. definition=a male subordinate | examples=the chief stationed two men outside the building; he awaited word from his man in Havana* (No subordinate relationship implied.)
    *   *6. definition=an adult male person who has a manly character (virile and courageous competent) | examples=the army will make a man of you* (Character description, not the primary focus here.)
    *   *7. definition=a manservant who acts as a personal attendant to his employer | synonyms=valet, valet de chambre, gentleman, gentleman's gentleman | examples=Jeeves was Bertie Wooster's man* (No servant relationship.)

6.  **Re-evaluating the Best Fit:** The context uses "man" to refer to a specific, individual human being (the stranger/rescued person).

    *   Sense 3 ("the generic use of the word to refer to any human being") is the most general fit, but often in these tests, if a specific person is named, we look for the most specific descriptor.
    *   Sense 1 ("an adult person who is male") is a strong candidate, as the context clearly refers to a male individual.

    Let's look closely at the surrounding text again: "Then the man he saved turned..." This is a specific individual.

    If we consider the options, Sense 3 is the broadest definition of a human being. Sense 1 is the definition of a specific type of human being (adult male). Since the context refers to a specific person who is clearly male, Sense 1 is highly relevant.

    However, let's check if any other sense is *better*. The context is about a person being saved. It is a generic reference to a person.

    If the context had been: "It was every man for himself," Sense 3 would be perfect.
    If the context had been: "Jeeves was Bertie Wooster's man," Sense 7 would be perfect.

    Since the context is simply identifying a specific male individual ("the man he saved"), Sense 1 (an adult male person) is the most precise description of the noun being referenced.

    The action described is the man intervening or protecting the other party from a negative situation (the driver's anger/curse).

    *   Sense 1: "save from ruin, destruction, or harm." (Fits the idea of protecting someone from a negative situation.)
    *   Sense 3: "bring into safety." (Also plausible, but Sense 1 captures the broader idea of preventing harm/ruin.)

    Let's re-read the surrounding action: The driver is cursing at them as if they had been in a plot to ruin his safe-driving record. The man "saved" (intervened/protected) them by turning and confronting the driver. This aligns best with preventing harm or ruin.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate fit.

The user wants me to identify the correct sense of the word "turn" in the provided context.

Context: "Then the man he saved <t>turned</t> and looked squarely into the truck driver's face, without saying a word. Very suddenly, the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his truck."

I need to analyze the two instances of "turned" and match them to the provided senses.

Instance 1: "Then the man he saved turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face..."
This suggests a change in direction or orientation of the person.

Instance 2: "...the driver stopped swearing at them, turned on his heel and went back to his truck."
This suggests a change in direction or orientation of the driver (turning on his heel).

Let's check the senses:

1. definition=change orientation or direction, also in the abstract sense | examples=Turn towards me; The mugger turned and fled before I could see his face (Matches Instance 1 and 2)
2. definition=undergo a transformation or a change of position or action | synonyms=change state
3. definition=undergo a change or development | synonyms=become
4. definition=cause to move around or rotate
5. definition=change to the contrary
6. definition=pass to the other side of
7. definition=pass into a condition gradually, take on a specific property or attribute; become
8. definition=let (something) fall or spill from a container
9. definition=move around an axis or a center
10. definition=cause to move around a center so as to show another side of
...

Sense 1: "change orientation or direction" fits perfectly with "turned and looked squarely into the truck driver's face" and "turned on his heel".

Let's confirm with other options:
Sense 19: definition=cause to move along an axis or into a new direction | examples=turn your face to the wall; turn the car around (This is also a strong candidate, but Sense 1 is broader and covers the simple act of changing direction/orientation.)

Sense 1 is the most direct fit for the physical action described.

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

    Since the man did not speak *at all* ("without saying a word"), Sense 6 (speak, pronounce, or utter) or Sense 8 (utter aloud) are the strongest candidates. Sense 6 is the definition of the act of speaking itself.

6.  **Final Check:** The action described is the absence of verbal utterance. Sense 6 defines the act of speaking/uttering.

    *   Context: "...without saying a word." (Meaning: without uttering any speech.)
    *   Sense 1: definition=a unit of language... (Fits the idea of a unit of speech.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The driver "stopped swearing." This means the action of swearing ceased.

    *   Sense 2: "put an end to a state or an activity" (synonyms: discontinue, cease). This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 9: "have an end, in a temporal, spatial, or quantitative sense; either spatial or metaphorical" (synonyms: end, finish, terminate, cease). This also fits, as stopping an action is ending that activity.

6.  **Refine the Choice (2 vs 9):**
    The core meaning here is the cessation of an activity (swearing).
    Sense 2 is specifically about discontinuing an activity.
    Sense 9 is about having an end/terminating.

    In the context of "stopped swearing," the most direct meaning is that the activity of swearing ended. Sense 2 is the most precise fit for stopping an activity.

    *Self-Correction/Double Check:* If the context were "The car stopped," Sense 1 would be correct. Since the context is "stopped swearing," it is stopping an action.

7.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2.
