Target lemma: walk
Target surface form: walked
Context:
The landlord had died. Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection. He had apparently been alone. Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance. Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks. He muttered something about how terrible it was, and <t>walked</t> with deliberate slowness to the elevator. Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair.

Target lemma: deliberate
Target surface form: deliberate
Context:
The landlord had died. Late that afternoon, it seemed, he had fallen off the roof while on some obscure errand or inspection. He had apparently been alone. Nobody witnessed the fall -- just the sickening impact when his body smashed on the pavement just outside the basement delivery entrance. Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks.

Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=deliberate%5:00:00:intended:00 | definition=carefully thought out in advance | synonyms=calculated, measured | examples=a calculated insult; with measured irony
2. sense_key=deliberate%5:00:00:unhurried:00 | definition=unhurried and with care and dignity | synonyms=careful, measured | examples=walking at the same measured pace; with all deliberate speed

raw_output:
The context describes Haney walking "with <t>deliberate</t> slowness" after witnessing a tragic fall. The phrase "deliberate slowness" suggests a purposeful, unhurried manner, emphasizing care and dignity in his movement. The synonym "measured" aligns with this interpretation, indicating a controlled, thoughtful pace rather than a carefully planned action. Therefore, the best sense is the one describing an unhurried, careful manner.

The appropriate sense is:

2. sense_key=deliberate%5:00:00:unhurried:00 | definition=unhurried and with care and dignity | synonyms=careful, measured | examples=walking at the same measured pace; with all deliberate speed

Thus, the correct sense index is 2.

The second sense, relating to an aircraft's tailplane, is irrelevant here.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the first one.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "drink" in the given context, we analyze the surrounding text:

- The sentence "He poured a **drink** with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair." suggests that "drink" refers to a liquid being poured, likely for consumption.
- The context does not indicate any excessive or harmful consumption, nor does it suggest a large body of water.
- The synonyms provided for the candidate senses help further clarify:
  - Sense 1 (a single serving of a beverage) aligns with the idea of pouring a liquid for personal consumption.
  - Sense 2 (drinking to excess) is not supported by the context, as there is no mention of intoxication or negative consequences beyond the initial shock.
  - Sense 3 (any liquid suitable for drinking) is broader but still fits, as it encompasses any drinkable liquid.
  - Sense 4 (a large deep body of water) is clearly inappropriate given the context of pouring a liquid in an apartment.
  - Sense 5 (the act of swallowing) focuses on the action rather than the liquid itself, which is less relevant here.

Given the context of pouring a liquid for personal consumption, the most appropriate sense is **any liquid suitable for drinking**, which corresponds to sense_key=drink%1:13:00::.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 3}
```

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "feel" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

*"After a while he began to <t>feel</t> better about it, especially when no one bothered to ask any questions."*

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The phrase "feel better" suggests an improvement in emotional or mental state.
- The context involves Haney's emotional reaction to the incident and his perception of how others perceive him.
- The focus is on an internal emotional change rather than a physical sensation or passive experience.

**Sense Evaluation:**
1. **sense_key=feel%2:37:00::** - "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind." This aligns with the emotional improvement described.
2. **sense_key=feel%2:31:00::** - "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds." This is less fitting as it implies forming a belief rather than experiencing an emotional state.
3. **sense_key=feel%2:39:00::** - "perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles." This is irrelevant as the context is not about physical sensation.
4. **sense_key=feel%2:29:00::** - "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state." This is close but less specific than sense 1 for emotional improvement.
5. **sense_key=feel%2:31:01::** - "have a feeling or perception about oneself in reaction to someone's behavior or attitude." This is broader and less precise for the described emotional recovery.
6. **sense_key=feel%2:39:01::** - "undergo passive experience of." This does not fit the active emotional improvement.
7. **sense_key=feel%2:42:00::** - "be felt or perceived in a certain way." This is too vague for the specific emotional context.
8. **sense_key=feel%2:39:10::** - "grope or feel in search of something." Irrelevant.
9. **sense_key=feel%2:35:00::** - "examine by touch." Irrelevant.
10. **sense_key=feel%2:35:01::** - "examine (a body part) by palpation." Irrelevant.
11. **sense_key=feel%2:40:00::** - "find by testing or cautious exploration." Irrelevant.
12. **sense_key=feel%2:39:09::** - "produce a certain impression." Irrelevant.
13. **sense_key=feel%2:35:11::** - "pass one's hands over the sexual organs of." Irrelevant.

The most appropriate sense is **sense_key=feel%2:37:00::**, which captures the emotional improvement described in the sentence.

The synonyms "dirty" and "filthy" in the third sense align well with the moral negativity expressed in the text. Therefore, the best sense is the one describing the landlord as vile or despicable.

To determine the best sense for "had" in the context:

"After all, the man **had** no family, so no one suffered, and everybody was better off for it."

The sentence is stating a factual condition about the man: he possesses or has the characteristic of having no family. This aligns with the sense of "to have" meaning "to possess or own" in a concrete sense.

Reviewing the candidate senses:

1. **have%2:40:00::** - "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense" (synonyms: have got, hold). This matches the context where "had" indicates possession of the characteristic "no family."

Other senses (e.g., experience, cause, serve, etc.) do not fit the straightforward possessive meaning in this sentence.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

**sense_key=have%2:40:00::**

Returning the required JSON object:

To determine the best sense for "family" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

"After all, the man had no <t>family</t>, so no one suffered, and everybody was better off for it."

The key phrase here is "the man had no family," which implies that the man lacks a social unit or group related to him by blood or marriage. The context suggests a lack of relatives or a household, indicating a personal or biological relationship rather than a broader social or biological classification.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **Social unit living together (household, house, home, menage)**: This sense refers to a group living under the same roof, which doesn't directly address the absence of relatives.
2. **Primary social group; parents and children (family unit)**: This sense focuses on the immediate family structure, which aligns with the idea of a man lacking relatives.
3. **Collection of things sharing a common attribute (class, category)**: This sense is too abstract and doesn't fit the personal context.
4. **People descended from a common ancestor (family line, folk, kinfolk, kinsfolk, sept, phratry)**: This sense directly addresses the biological or genealogical relationship implied by "no family."
5. **A person having kinship with another or others (kin, kinsperson)**: This sense is too narrow, referring to a single kinship relationship rather than the broader absence of a family.
6. **A taxonomic group containing one or more genera (biology)**: Irrelevant to the personal context.
7. **Loose affiliation of gangsters (syndicate, crime syndicate, mob)**: Not applicable.
8. **Association of people sharing common beliefs or activities (fellowship)**: Not relevant to the biological or relational absence implied.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is the one that captures the absence of a biological or genealogical family unit. Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

**People descended from a common ancestor (family line, folk, kinfolk, kinsfolk, sept, phratry).**

Thus, the correct sense index is 4.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "suffered" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

"After all, why should they? Still later, he finally convinced himself that it was an accident -- just a coincidence. The stranger really had nothing to do with it, of course Haney went to bed, happy that at least he was rid of that lousy landlord. After all, the man had no family, so no one <t>suffered</t>, and everybody was better off for it."

The key phrase is "so no one suffered." The context implies that because the man had no family, there were no negative consequences or emotional pain experienced by anyone. The sentence contrasts the absence of suffering with the previous negative situation involving a landlord.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **Undergo or be subjected to** (sense 1): This is too broad and does not capture the emotional or negative connotation implied by "suffered" in this context.
2. **Undergo (as of injuries and illnesses)** (sense 2): This focuses on physical harm, which is not the primary concern here.
3. **Experience (emotional) pain** (sense 3): This aligns well with the idea that no one experienced emotional distress or hardship due to the situation.
4. **Put up with something or somebody unpleasant** (sense 4): This suggests tolerance of an unpleasant situation, which is not the main point.
5. **Get worse** (sense 5): This implies a decline, which does not fit the context of "no one suffered."
6. **Feel pain or be in pain** (sense 6): Similar to sense 2, focusing on physical pain, which is not the emphasis here.
7. **Feel physical pain** (sense 7): Again, too narrow and physical-focused.
8. **Feel unwell or uncomfortable** (sense 8): This is close but less specific to the emotional pain implied.
9. **Be given to** (sense 9): This sense is about a tendency, which does not apply.
10. **Undergo or suffer** (sense 10): Too broad, similar to sense 1.
11. **Be set at a disadvantage** (sense 11): This implies a disadvantage, which is not the focus.

The context clearly indicates that "suffered" refers to the absence of emotional pain or hardship. Therefore, the best sense is **experience (emotional) pain**.

**Selected sense:** sense_key=suffer%2:37:00::

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "said" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

*"Really, he <t>said</t> to himself, nobody kills a man just as a favor!!"*

The phrase "he said to himself" indicates that the speaker is expressing a thought or opinion to themselves. This aligns with the definition of "say" as **express in words** or **state**. The context suggests a personal reflection or internal dialogue, which matches the idea of stating a belief or opinion to oneself.

Examining the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=say%2:32:00::** - *definition=express in words; synonyms=state, tell; examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you*
   This sense directly fits the context of a personal internal statement.

2. **sense_key=say%2:32:02::** - *definition=speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way; synonyms=pronounce, articulate*
   This sense focuses on the manner of speaking, which is less relevant here.

3. **sense_key=say%2:32:03::** - *definition=express a supposition; synonyms=suppose; examples=Let us say that he did not tell the truth*
   While close, this sense implies a hypothetical or conjectural statement, which is not the primary focus.

4. **sense_key=say%2:32:04::** - *definition=give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority*
   This sense involves issuing commands, which does not apply.

5. **sense_key=say%2:32:07::** - *definition=communicate or express nonverbally*
   This sense is about nonverbal communication, which contradicts the verbal nature of the context.

6. **sense_key=say%2:32:08::** - *definition=recite or repeat a fixed text*
   This sense is about reciting set phrases, not applicable here.

7. **sense_key=say%2:32:09::** - *definition=state as one's opinion or judgement; declare*
   This sense is also relevant but slightly broader than the specific internal reflection implied.

8. **sense_key=say%2:32:15::** - *definition=utter aloud*
   This sense is too general and does not capture the internal nature of the statement.

9. **sense_key=say%2:32:13::** - *definition=state as one's opinion or judgement; declare*
   Similar to sense 7, but the context of "to himself" aligns more closely with expressing a personal belief.

10. **sense_key=say%2:32:08::** - *definition=recite or repeat a fixed text*
    Already considered and deemed irrelevant.

11. **sense_key=say%2:32:09::** - *definition=indicate*
    This sense is too vague for the context.

The most precise match for the context is **sense_key=say%2:32:00::**, which captures the act of expressing a personal belief or opinion to oneself.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 3}
```

The sentence "nobody <t>kills</t> a man just as a favor!!" clearly refers to the act of causing someone's death, likely unintentionally, as part of a justification or explanation. The surrounding context discusses an accidental death and the speaker's attempt to rationalize it. Among the candidate senses, the one that best matches this meaning is:

- **sense_key=kill%2:35:01::**: "cause the death of, without intention."

This sense aligns with the idea of an accidental death being discussed, where the killing is not done with intent but is still the result of an action. Therefore, the best indexed sense is the third sense in the list.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "thought" in the given context, we analyze the surrounding text:

> So you **thought** I didn't mean what I said.

The sentence suggests that the speaker is addressing a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of their previous statement. The key aspects to consider are:

- **Misinterpretation**: The word "thought" here implies that someone believed or assumed something incorrectly.
- **Past mental activity**: The past tense "thought" indicates a prior mental process of believing or assuming.
- **Synonyms and examples**: Among the candidate senses, sense 2 ("expect, believe, or suppose") aligns well with the idea of forming an assumption or belief based on prior information, which matches the context of addressing a mistaken belief.

Comparing this with other senses:
- Sense 1 ("judge or regard") and sense 3 ("use or exercise the mind") are too broad and do not specifically capture the notion of a mistaken belief.
- Sense 4 ("recall knowledge") and sense 5 ("imagine or visualize") do not fit the context of addressing a misunderstanding.
- Sense 6 ("focus one's attention") and sense 7 ("have in mind as a purpose") are irrelevant to the context of a mistaken belief.
- Sense 8 ("decide by pondering") and sense 9 ("ponder; reflect on") imply a more deliberate decision-making process, which is not indicated here.
- Sense 10 ("dispose the mind") and sense 11 ("have or formulate in the mind") are too vague.
- Sense 12 ("be capable of conscious thought") and sense 13 ("bring into a given condition by mental preoccupation") do not specifically address the context of a mistaken belief.

Therefore, the most appropriate sense is **sense 2: expect, believe, or suppose**, which captures the idea of forming an incorrect assumption or belief.

**Result:**
```json
{"sense_index": 2}

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "mean" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

*"So you thought I didn't <t>mean</t> what I said."*

The speaker is addressing the stranger, implying that the stranger misunderstood the speaker's intention behind the words spoken. The phrase "didn't mean what I said" suggests that the speaker is clarifying that their words had a specific intention or purpose that the stranger misinterpreted.

**Analysis of candidate senses:**

1. **mean or intend to express or convey** (sense 1): This sense aligns with the idea of clarifying the intention behind the words. The speaker is asserting that their words were intended to convey a particular meaning, which the stranger thought was different.

2. **have as a logical consequence** (sense 2): This sense would imply that the words logically lead to a certain outcome, which does not fit the context of clarifying intention.

3. **denote or connote** (sense 3): This sense focuses on the meaning or association of a word, which is not the primary focus here.

4. **have in mind as a purpose** (sense 4): While similar to sense 1, this sense emphasizes the purpose behind an action rather than the intention behind a statement.

5. **have a specified degree of importance** (sense 5): This sense relates to the significance of something, which does not match the context.

6. **intend to refer to** (sense 6): This sense is about referring to something specifically, which is not the main point of the sentence.

7. **destine or designate for a certain purpose** (sense 7): This sense is about assigning a purpose, which is not directly relevant to the clarification of intention in the sentence.

**Conclusion:**

The context clearly involves clarifying the intention behind the speaker's words, making sense 1 the most appropriate choice. It captures the idea of "intend to express or convey," which directly addresses the misunderstanding the speaker is correcting.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 3}
```

The stranger really had nothing to do with it, of course Haney went to bed, happy that at least he was rid of that lousy landlord. After all, the man had no family, so no one suffered, and everybody was better off for it. Really, he said to himself, nobody kills a man just as a favor!! So you thought I didn't mean what I <t>said</t>. The stranger's eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "said" in the given context, we analyze the surrounding text:

> "So you thought I didn't mean what I **said**. The stranger's eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings."

The phrase "what I said" is used to refer back to a previous statement or claim made by the speaker (Phil Haney). The context suggests that the speaker is asserting or maintaining a previous assertion, implying that the previous statement is being reaffirmed or defended.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **express in words** (state, tell) – General expression of words, but doesn't capture the idea of reaffirming a prior claim.
2. **report or maintain** (allege, aver) – Fits the context where the speaker is maintaining or asserting a previous statement.
3. **express a supposition** (suppose) – Not applicable; the context is not about supposing.
4. **have or contain a certain wording or form** (read) – Irrelevant; the context is about meaning, not form.
5. **give instructions to or direct somebody** (order, tell, enjoin) – Not about giving instructions.
6. **speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way** (pronounce, articulate) – Focuses on manner of speaking, not on reaffirming a claim.
7. **communicate or express nonverbally** – Not applicable; the context is verbal.
8. **communicate or express nonverbally** – Duplicate of 7, irrelevant.
9. **state as one's opinion or judgement** (declare) – Close, but "declare" often implies a more formal or public proclamation, whereas "maintain" fits better for reaffirming a prior statement.
10. **recite or repeat a fixed text** – Not relevant; the context is not about reciting a fixed text.
11. **indicate** – Not applicable; the context is about asserting a previous statement.

The most fitting sense is **sense_key=say%2:32:01::**, which defines "say" as "report or maintain" with synonyms "allege" and "aver." This sense captures the idea of reaffirming or maintaining a previous assertion, aligning perfectly with the context where the speaker is addressing whether their earlier statement was misunderstood.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 2}
```

raw_output:
The context describes a man whose eyes are described as "large and sad," suggesting an emotional reaction to something Haney did. The passage emphasizes that this man is not known to Haney, and his presence is unexpected in the situation. The phrase "nobody kills a man just as a favor" further underscores that the man is an outsider to the events, not a familiar acquaintance. The synonyms "alien" and "unknown" align with the idea of someone unfamiliar and emotionally affected by Haney's actions.

Therefore, the best sense is the one that captures the idea of an individual who is not known or acquainted with the protagonist.

The appropriate sense is:

**sense_key=stranger%1:18:01::** (an individual that one is not acquainted with)

Thus, the JSON response is:

```json
{"sense_index": 2}

The context describes the "stranger's eyes" as "large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings." This usage is metaphorical, referring to the expression or demeanor conveyed by the stranger's eyes, indicating emotional perception rather than the physical organ itself. The phrase "as if... had hurt his feelings" aligns with the sense of "good discernment" or "attention to what is seen," where the eyes are used to convey insight into someone's emotional state. Therefore, the best sense is the one describing the attentive or perceptive use of eyes.

The appropriate sense is:

- **sense_key=eye%1:09:00:: | definition=good discernment (either visually or as if visually) | examples=she has an eye for fresh talent; he has an artist's eye**

Thus, the best indexed sense is sense index 3.
