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

Context: Was the man drunk or crazy or both? But his new-found buddy had matched him drink for drink until he lost count, and the man's eyes were still clear. The guy is off his rocker, Haney thought to himself, and looked away from those eyes. Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them. Why hadn't he noticed it before? No, the man was not <t>drunk</t> He wondered how he got tied up with this stranger.

Senses:
1. definition=stupefied or excited by a chemical substance (especially alcohol) | synonyms=intoxicated, inebriated | examples=a noisy crowd of intoxicated sailors; helplessly inebriated
2. definition=as if under the influence of alcohol | synonyms=intoxicated | examples=felt intoxicated by her success; drunk with excitement

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "Was the man drunk or crazy or both? But his new-found buddy had matched him drink for drink until he lost count, and the man's eyes were still clear. The guy is off his rocker, Haney thought to himself, and looked away from those eyes. Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them.

3.  **Analyze the Target Word/Phrase:** The word is "<t>drunk</t>".

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=stupefied or excited by a chemical substance (especially alcohol) | synonyms=intoxicated, inebriated | examples=a noisy crowd of intoxicated sailors; helplessly inebriated
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=as if under the influence of alcohol | synonyms=intoxicated | examples=felt intoxicated by her success; drunk with excitement

5.  **Compare Context to Senses:**
    *   The context discusses the man's state. The buddy matched him "drink for drink until he lost count." This suggests intoxication/being under the influence.
    *   However, the text immediately contrasts this with the man's eyes being "still clear" and bright with "cold fire."
    *   The final sentence explicitly negates the state: "No, the man was not drunk."

6.  **Determine the Applicable Sense:**
    *   Sense 1 focuses on being stupefied/intoxicated by alcohol (physical state).
    *   Sense 2 focuses on being *as if* under the influence of alcohol (state of being/feeling intoxicated, often used figuratively).

    The context uses "drunk" in the standard sense of being intoxicated by alcohol (Sense 1). The fact that the narrator immediately denies this state suggests the context is using the literal, physical definition of being drunk.

7.  **Final Check:** The context describes a situation involving drinking ("matched him drink for drink"), which aligns with the core meaning of Sense 1 (intoxicated by alcohol).

8.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct usage.

The context: "He wondered how he got tied up with this stranger."
This means "how he became involved with this stranger" or "how he acquired a connection with this stranger."

Sense 1: definition=come into the possession of something concrete or abstract | synonyms=acquire. (Fits well: acquiring a connection/situation)
Sense 2: definition=enter or assume a certain state or condition | synonyms=become, go. (Fits well: becoming involved)
Sense 3: definition=cause to move; cause to be in a certain position or condition. (Doesn't fit)
Sense 4: definition=receive a specified treatment. (Doesn't fit)
Sense 5: definition=reach a destination. (Doesn't fit)
Sense 6: definition=go or come after and bring or take back. (Doesn't fit)
Sense 7: definition=go through (experiences). (Doesn't fit)
Sense 8: definition=take vengeance. (Doesn't fit)
Sense 9: definition=achieve a point or goal. (Doesn't fit)
Sense 10: definition=cause to do. (Doesn't fit)
Sense 11: definition=succeed in catching or seizing. (Doesn't fit)
Sense 12: definition=come to have or undergo a change. (Doesn't fit)
Sense 13: definition=be stricken by an illness. (Doesn't fit)
Sense 15: definition=give certain properties to something. (Doesn't fit)
Sense 18: definition=attract and fix. (Doesn't fit)
Sense 21: definition=acquire as a result of some effort or action. (Fits well: acquiring the relationship through some action/circumstance)

Both 1 (acquire) and 2 (become) are strong candidates.
"got tied up with" strongly suggests becoming involved or acquiring a situation/relationship.

Let's compare 1 and 2:
1. acquire (get paintings)
2. become (become annoyed)

"Got tied up with" means "became involved with." This aligns perfectly with "become" (Sense 2).

Let's re-read the options for 1 and 2.
1. definition=come into the possession of something concrete or abstract | synonyms=acquire
2. definition=enter or assume a certain state or condition | synonyms=become, go

If he "got tied up with" the stranger, he *became* involved or *entered* a state of being tied up with him.

Sense 2: definition=enter or assume a certain state or condition | synonyms=become, go. (Strong match)

    *   Sense 1 (recall knowledge/recollect) fits well.
    *   Sense 3 (recapture the past; indulge in memories) also fits well, emphasizing the emotional/experiential aspect ("the occasion of it came back").

    Let's re-read the options and the context. The context is about a specific memory/event coming back.

    *   If the focus is purely on retrieving a piece of information (like a name or fact), Sense 1 is strong.
    *   If the focus is on the subjective experience of recalling a past event, Sense 3 is strong.

    The phrase "the occasion of it came back to him" strongly suggests recalling a past experience or event (recapture the past).

    *   Sense 3: definition=recapture the past; indulge in memories; synonyms=think back; examples=he remembered how he used to pick flowers.

    This is the most precise fit for recalling a past event/experience.

    *   **12. definition=have a beginning characterized in some specified way | synonyms=begin | examples=The novel begins with a murder; My property begins with the three maple trees** (Focuses on the beginning point.)

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

5.  **Match the Usage to the Senses:**
    The stranger "started to cross the street." This is the initiation of a physical movement.

    *   Sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action." (Fits well.)
    *   Sense 8: "get going or set in motion." (Fits well, as crossing the street is setting the movement in motion.)
    *   Sense 9: "begin or set in motion." (Fits well.)

6.  **Refine the Choice (Comparing 1, 8, and 9):**
    The action is "to cross the street." This is a physical movement.
    Sense 1 emphasizes the *first step*.
    Sense 8 emphasizes *getting going or setting in motion*.
    Sense 9 emphasizes *beginning or setting in motion*.

    Since the action is a deliberate movement (crossing the street), Sense 1 (taking the first step) or Sense 8/9 (setting in motion) are the strongest candidates. Sense 1 is very specific to the initial physical action.

    Let's re-read the context: "started to cross the street." This is the initiation of the crossing.

    Sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action." (Strong fit.)
    Sense 8: "get going or set in motion." (Strong fit.)
    Sense 9: "begin or set in motion." (Strong fit.)

    In many contexts, "start" used to initiate a physical movement aligns best with the idea of taking the initial step or setting the movement in motion. Sense 1 is the most precise description of initiating a physical action.

    *   Sense 3: a noise made by the driver of an automobile to give warning. (Fits well.)
    *   Sense 11: a device on an automobile for making a warning noise | synonyms=automobile horn, car horn, motor horn, hooter. (Fits perfectly, as it defines the object *and* the function.)

6.  **Determine the Best Fit:** Both 3 and 11 are plausible, but 11 is the most specific and comprehensive definition for the object being described (the car horn/warning device).

    *   Context: "...a horn blared furiously..." (Focus on the sound/device function.)
