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

Context: "Customer "? Pete smiled modestly. "It's my line of work ", he said Five minutes later, before Haney could make his break, the stranger stood up and nodded farewell. Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently, and felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure. Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the <t>table</t>. Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep.

Senses:
1. definition=a set of data arranged in rows and columns | synonyms=tabular array | 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 | synonyms=mesa | 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 | synonyms=board | examples=she sets a fine table; room and board

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "for the other glass on the <t>table</t>."
2.  **Analyze the surrounding text:** The context describes a social interaction (a stranger, Haney, Phil, a departure), and the mention of "the other glass" suggests a setting where drinks are being consumed.
3.  **Examine the senses of "table":**
    *   1. Data arrangement (unlikely in this narrative context).
    *   2. Piece of furniture (a flat surface).
    *   3. Piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it (a dining table).
    *   4. Flat tableland (geographical feature, unlikely).
    *   5. Group of people (unlikely, as it refers to a physical location for a glass).
    *   6. Food/meals (unlikely, as it refers to a physical surface holding a glass).
4.  **Determine the most fitting sense:** A "glass" is placed *on* a surface. This surface is likely a piece of furniture used for dining or socializing.
5.  **Compare Sense 2 and Sense 3:**
    *   Sense 2: General piece of furniture.
    *   Sense 3: Piece of furniture *with tableware for a meal laid out on it*.
    *   Since the context involves a "glass" (implying drinking/dining), Sense 3 is a specific type of furniture (a dining/serving table) that fits perfectly. However, Sense 2 (general furniture) is also technically correct, as a dining table *is* a piece of furniture.
6.  **Refine the choice based on typical usage:** When a glass is placed on a table in a social setting, the most common and precise meaning is the physical piece of furniture (Sense 2 or 3). Since Sense 3 is a specific type of dining table, and the presence of a glass strongly suggests dining/drinking, Sense 3 is highly relevant. However, if the table is simply a surface where drinks are placed, Sense 2 is the most fundamental definition.
7.  **Re-evaluate the relationship between the senses:** Sense 3 is a subset of Sense 2. If the context only requires the physical object, Sense 2 is sufficient. If the context implies a dining setting, Sense 3 is more specific. Given the phrase "the other glass on the table," the primary function is that of a flat surface (Sense 2).
8.  **Final check:** Does "the other glass on the table" mean a piece of furniture (Sense 2)? Yes. Does it mean a dining table (Sense 3)? Yes, but Sense 2 is the broader, necessary definition. In many lexical databases, when a physical object is referenced, the general physical definition (Sense 2) is preferred unless the context strictly demands the specialized function (Sense 3). Since the context is ambiguous (it could be a coffee table, a bar table, or a dining table), Sense 2 is the safest and most accurate general definition for the physical object.

*Self-Correction/Refinement:* While Sense 3 is plausible (dining table), Sense 2 (general piece of furniture) covers all possibilities (coffee table, side table, dining table) and is the most direct interpretation of a glass resting on a surface.

9.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2.

    *   The subsequent action is: "The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "hangover" in the context:**
    *   The word refers to a negative feeling or memory experienced the day *after* an event (the night before).
    *   The feeling/memory is causing distress ("he groaned").
    *   This strongly suggests a negative physical or mental state resulting from the previous night's activities.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=disagreeable aftereffects from the use of drugs (especially alcohol) | synonyms=katzenjammer.
        *   *Match?* Yes. A hangover is a classic example of a disagreeable aftereffect, often associated with drinking. The context fits this meaning perfectly (negative feeling the next day).
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=an official who remains in office after his term | synonyms=holdover.
        *   *Match?* No. This is a political/administrative meaning.
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=something that has survived from the past | synonyms=holdover | examples=a holdover from the sixties; hangovers from the 19th century.
        *   *Match?* No. While "hangover" can sometimes mean a lingering effect (like a historical "holdover"), the context refers to a personal, immediate, negative state following a specific night's events, not a historical or general survival of a past trend.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct meaning.

Senses:
1. definition=the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside | synonyms=nighttime, dark
2. definition=a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom
3. definition=the period spent sleeping | examples=I had a restless night
4. definition=the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit | examples=three nights later he collapsed

7. definition=the time between sunset and midnight | examples=he watched television every night
8. definition=Roman goddess of night; daughter of Erebus; counterpart of Greek Nyx | synonyms=Nox

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The relevant sentence is: "The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the <t>night</t> before."
2.  **Analyze the surrounding information:** Haney is experiencing a hangover. Hangovers are typically associated with excessive drinking and lack of sleep/poor sleep quality. The phrase "the night before" refers to the period immediately preceding the current day (Sunday).
3.  **Evaluate the senses of "night":**
    *   1. the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside (General nighttime)
    *   2. a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom (Figurative/abstract)
    *   3. the period spent sleeping (Focuses on the act of sleeping/a sleep period)
    *   4. the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit (General time unit)
    *   5. darkness (Physical state)
    *   6. a shortening of nightfall (Irrelevant)
    *   7. the time between sunset and midnight (Specific time window)
    *   8. Roman goddess of night (Proper noun/mythology)
4.  **Match the context to the senses:**
    *   The hangover is a direct result of the activities (likely drinking and sleeping) that occurred during the preceding period.
    *   The phrase "the night before" refers to the entire period of time (the previous 24 hours, or at least the previous evening/night) when the incident happened.
    *   Sense 3 ("the period spent sleeping") is very close, as hangovers are linked to sleep, but the phrase "the night before" usually encompasses the entire period of the previous day/evening, not just the sleep time.
    *   Sense 1 ("the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside") is the most comprehensive definition of the period of time that includes the previous evening and night when the incident occurred.
    *   Sense 4 ("the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit") is also plausible, but Sense 1 is more descriptive of the actual time period being referenced.

5.  **Refine the choice (Sense 1 vs. Sense 3):**
    *   If the text said, "He had a terrible night of sleep," Sense 3 would be perfect.
    *   Since the text says, "The hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before," it refers to the entire preceding period of time when the events (drinking, partying, sleeping) took place. This period is defined by the time of day (nighttime).
    *   Sense 1 captures the general concept of the time period (nighttime) that encompasses the previous evening and night.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the best fit for "the night before" in the context of a hangover resulting from a previous evening's activities.

    *   16. accept or judge as acceptable
    *   17. allow to go without comment or censure
    *   18. transfer to another; of rights or property
    *   19. pass into a specified state or condition
    *   20. throw (a ball) to another player
    *   21. be inherited by
    *   22. cause to pass
    *   23. grant authorization or clearance for
    *   24. pass from physical life and lose all bodily attributes and functions necessary to sustain life
    *   25. eliminate from the body
5.  **Compare the meaning (moving past someone while traveling) to the senses:**
    *   Sense 2: "move past | synonyms=travel by, pass by, surpass, go past, go by." This perfectly matches the action of moving past the landlord.
    *   Sense 4: "pass by | synonyms=elapse, lapse, slip by, glide by, slip away, go by." While "pass by" is a synonym, Sense 4 primarily focuses on the passage of *time* (examples: three years elapsed). Sense 2 is broader and specifically includes "travel by" and "go past," fitting the physical movement better.
    *   Sense 7: "travel past | synonyms=overtake, overhaul." This implies overtaking (going ahead of), which is possible but not necessarily the primary meaning here; simply moving alongside or past is sufficient.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most accurate fit for "passed the surly landlord on the way."

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

Context: Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently, and felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure. Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table. Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep. The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before. The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned. He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still <t>alive</t> and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and ignored him.

Senses:
1. definition=possessing life | synonyms=live | examples=the happiest person alive; the nerve is alive
2. definition=(often followed by `with') full of life and spirit | examples=she was wonderfully alive for her age; a face alive with mischief
3. definition=having life or vigor or spirit | synonyms=animated | examples=an animated and expressive face; animated conversation

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "He was still <t>alive</t> and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life."
2.  **Analyze the surrounding words/phrases:** "scowling as usual," "as if tenants were a burden in his life." These phrases describe the landlord's physical state and demeanor.
3.  **Determine the meaning of "alive" in this specific context:** In this context, "alive" means that the landlord is not dead; he is physically existing and functioning.
4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   1. definition=possessing life | synonyms=live | examples=the happiest person alive; the nerve is alive. (Matches the meaning of physically existing.)
    *   2. definition=(often followed by `with') full of life and spirit | examples=she was wonderfully alive for her age; a face alive with mischief. (Focuses on vitality/spirit, not just existence.)

    *   4. definition=(followed by `to' or `of') aware of | examples=is alive to the moods of others. (Relates to awareness/perception.)
    *   5. definition=in operation | synonyms=active | examples=keep hope alive; the tradition was still alive. (Relates to systems/concepts being functional.)
    *   6. definition=mentally perceptive and responsive | synonyms=alert, awake | examples=an alert mind; alert to the problems. (Relates to mental state/alertness.)
    *   7. definition=capable of erupting | synonyms=live | examples=a live volcano; the volcano is very much alive. (Relates to natural phenomena/potential for action.)

Context: Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently, and felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure.

He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if <t>tenants</t> were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and ignored him.

Senses:
1. definition=someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else | synonyms=renter | examples=the landlord can evict a tenant who doesn't pay the rent
2. definition=a holder of buildings or lands by any kind of title (as ownership or lease)
3. definition=any occupant who dwells in a place

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "tenant" (marked as `<t>tenants</t>`) is used in the provided context. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The scene involves Haney, Phil, a "weirdy," and a "surly landlord."
    *   The final sentence is: "He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if <t>tenants</t> were a burden in his life."
    *   The landlord is complaining about "tenants."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word and its Usage:**
    *   Target word: `tenants` (plural of tenant).
    *   Contextual meaning: The landlord views them as a "burden." This strongly suggests they are the people living in the property and paying him (or causing him trouble).

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else | synonyms=renter | examples=the landlord can evict a tenant who doesn't pay the rent
        *   *Match?* Yes. The landlord (owner) complains about the people (tenants) who live there and presumably pay rent. This is the classic definition of a renter/tenant.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a holder of buildings or lands by any kind of title (as ownership or lease)
        *   *Match?* Less likely. While a tenant holds a lease, this definition is broader and often includes legal/ownership contexts. Sense 1 is much more specific to the landlord/renter dynamic presented.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=any occupant who dwells in a place
        *   *Match?* Plausible, but too broad. While tenants are occupants, Sense 1 captures the *relationship* (landlord/renter) implied by the context ("surly landlord," "burden"), which is the primary meaning in this scenario.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 provides the most precise and contextually relevant definition for "tenants" in relation to a "landlord" who views them as a "burden."

6.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 1.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=weight to be borne or conveyed | synonyms=load, loading.
        *   *Match check:* This refers to physical weight (e.g., a heavy load). The tenants are not a physical weight. (Incorrect)

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the central meaning or theme of a speech or literary work | synonyms=effect, essence, core, gist.
        *   *Match check:* This refers to abstract meaning (e.g., the burden of the story). (Incorrect)

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "as if tenants were a burden in his <t>life</t>."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "life" in this specific context:** The landlord views tenants as a burden within the scope of his existence, his way of living, or his general state of being.
3.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   1. a characteristic state or mode of living | examples=social life; city life (Fits the idea of a way of living/mode of existence.)
    *   2. the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities | synonyms=living | examples=he could no longer cope with the complexities of life (Fits, but perhaps broader than just the *mode* of living.)
    *   3. the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living | examples=he hoped for a new life in Australia; he wanted to live his own life without interference from others (Focuses more on the narrative/events.)
    *   4. the condition of living or the state of being alive | synonyms=animation, living, aliveness | examples=while there's life there's hope (Focuses on biological state/existence.)
    *   5. the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death) | synonyms=lifetime, lifespan (Refers to duration.)

    *   13. a motive for living (Refers to purpose.)
    *   14. a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives (Refers to duration/sentence.)
4.  **Compare the meaning ("his way of living/existence") with the best fit:**
    *   Sense 1 ("a characteristic state or mode of living") is the most precise fit. The landlord's "life" is defined by his current state and how he conducts himself (i.e., his mode of living).
    *   Sense 2 ("the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities") is also plausible, but Sense 1 captures the nuance of "mode" or "style" better in the phrase "burden in his life."

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 best captures the meaning of "life" when referring to a person's characteristic way of living or existence.

Context: Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table.

He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if tenants were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and <t>ignored</t> him. He went back to work Monday.

Senses:
1. definition=refuse to acknowledge | synonyms=disregard, snub, cut | examples=She cut him dead at the meeting
2. definition=bar from attention or consideration | synonyms=dismiss, disregard, brush aside, brush off, discount, push aside | examples=She dismissed his advances
3. definition=fail to notice
4. definition=give little or no attention to | synonyms=neglect, disregard | examples=Disregard the errors
5. definition=be ignorant of or in the dark about

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is "Phil shrugged and <t>ignored</t> him." The preceding context describes Phil passing a "surly landlord" who was "still alive and scowling as usual."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "ignored" in this specific context:** Phil is physically passing the landlord, who is actively scowling (demanding attention/reaction). Phil's action ("shrugged and ignored him") means he deliberately chose not to acknowledge the landlord's presence or scowl.
3.  **Evaluate the provided senses against this meaning:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=refuse to acknowledge | synonyms=disregard, snub, cut | examples=She cut him dead at the meeting.
        *   *Match?* Yes. Refusing to acknowledge someone's presence or behavior (snubbing) fits perfectly with Phil shrugging and not reacting to the scowling landlord.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=bar from attention or consideration | synonyms=dismiss, disregard, brush aside, brush off, discount, push aside | examples=She dismissed his advances.
        *   *Match?* Possible, but Sense 1 is more precise for a social snub/non-acknowledgement. Sense 2 often implies actively rejecting an idea or request.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=fail to notice.
        *   *Match?* Less likely. If he "failed to notice," it would imply accidental oversight, not a deliberate action paired with a shrug.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=give little or no attention to | synonyms=neglect, disregard | examples=Disregard the errors.
        *   *Match?* Plausible, but often used for abstract things (errors, warnings) rather than a person's active presence/behavior.

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=be ignorant of or in the dark about.
        *   *Match?* No. This relates to knowledge, not social interaction.

4.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1 ("refuse to acknowledge | synonyms=disregard, snub, cut") captures the social act of deliberately snubbing or refusing to acknowledge the scowling landlord, which is the most accurate interpretation of "Phil shrugged and ignored him."

    *   Sense 1 explicitly includes "send via the postal service" and the example "I'll mail you the check tomorrow." This matches the context perfectly.

Phil shrugged and ignored him. He went back to work Monday. By Wednesday the landlord was still alive.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence containing the target word is: "Of course On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate <t>maintenance</t> to his wife Lolly..."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "maintenance" in this context:** Haney is mailing a "monthly check" to his wife, Lolly, for "separate maintenance." This strongly suggests a financial payment related to supporting a spouse, likely in the context of a separation or divorce.

3.  **Examine the provided senses:**

    *   1. activity involved in maintaining something in good working order (upkeep, car care). (Does not fit a monthly check to a wife.)
    *   2. means of maintenance of a family or group (general support). (Too broad, but related to financial support.)
    *   3. court-ordered support paid by one spouse to another after they are separated (alimony). (This perfectly matches "monthly check" and "separate maintenance" in a spousal context.)
    *   4. the act of sustaining life by food or providing a means of subsistence (sustenance). (While related to support, the legal/financial context of a "monthly check" points specifically to spousal support, not just general food/survival.)
    *   5. the unauthorized interference in a legal action (criminal maintenance). (This is a specific legal crime and does not fit the context of a check between spouses.)

4.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 3, "court-ordered support paid by one spouse to another after they are separated | synonyms=alimony," is the precise meaning of "maintenance" when used in the phrase "separate maintenance" in a marital context.

5.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 3.
