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

"He felt very cunning, very proud of himself as he played on the other man's soft spot."

The phrase "felt very cunning, very proud of himself" suggests an internal emotional state or perception rather than a physical sensation, a passive experience, or an examination. The context indicates that the character is experiencing a sense of cleverness and pride, which aligns with the definition of perceiving an internal emotional state or mental condition.

Among the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=feel%2:37:00::** - "undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind" (synonyms: experience; examples: She felt resentful; He felt regret)
2. **sense_key=feel%2:31:00::** - "come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds" (synonyms: find; examples: I feel that he doesn't like me; I find him to be obnoxious)
3. **sense_key=feel%2:29:00::** - "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state" (examples: My cold is gone—I feel fine today; She felt tired after the long hike)
4. **sense_key=feel%2:31:01::** - "have a feeling or perception about oneself in reaction to someone's behavior or attitude" (examples: She felt small and insignificant; You make me feel naked)
5. **...** (other senses are less relevant based on the context)

The most fitting sense is **sense_key=feel%2:29:00::**, which captures the character's internal emotional state of feeling cunning and proud. This sense aligns with the examples provided ("My cold is gone—I feel fine today; She felt tired after the long hike") and matches the context of experiencing an internal mental condition.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

raw_output:
The context describes the character feeling "very <t>cunning</t>, very proud of himself as he played on the other man's soft spot," suggesting that the character is being skillful in deception or manipulation to achieve a goal (manipulating "the other man" to help with Lolly). This aligns with the definition of "cunning" as "marked by skill in deception," and the associated synonyms like "crafty," "guileful," and "foxy." The other senses (attractive and adroit) do not fit as well given the context of deception and manipulation.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

The context shows the character feeling self-respect and pleasure in his own cleverness and the potential outcome of his plan, which aligns with the definition of "proud" as feeling self-respect or pleasure in something by which you measure your self-worth. The synonym "cunning" in the sentence further supports the sense of personal satisfaction and self-esteem rather than grandeur or nobility. Therefore, the best indexed sense is the first one.

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

> "He felt very cunning, very proud of himself as he played on the **other** man's soft spot."

The phrase "the other man" implies a distinction from a previously mentioned or implied man. This aligns with the definition of "other" as **not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied**. The context does not suggest any temporal aspect (recent past, distant past) nor does it imply strangeness or unusual quality. Therefore, the most appropriate sense is the one that captures the idea of distinction or difference from something already referenced.

**Selected sense:** not the same one or ones already mentioned or implied.

**Corresponding sense key:** other%3:00:00::

The sentence "No <t>offense</t> intended" is used to preface a statement that might otherwise be perceived as impolite or hurtful. The context suggests a concern about causing displeasure or hurt feelings, rather than referring to a crime, a sports term, or a military action. The synonym "offence" in the sense of "a lack of politeness; a failure to show regard for others; wounding the feelings or others" aligns perfectly with this usage. Therefore, the best sense is the one describing a lack of politeness or causing offense.

The appropriate sense key is `offense%1:04:02::`.

Thus, the correct sense index is 1.

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

> "No offense intended," he **said** gently. "But it's just that -- well, you know."

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The speaker is responding to a previous statement or situation.
- The phrase "No offense intended" is a direct statement made by the speaker.
- The adverb "gently" suggests a manner of speaking, but the primary function of "said" here is to introduce the speaker's words.

**Evaluation of 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 aligns with the act of expressing words, which matches the function of "said" in introducing the speaker's statement.

2. **sense_key=say%2:32:01::** - *definition=report or maintain; synonyms=allege, aver; examples=He alleged that he was the victim of a crime; He said it was too late to intervene in the war.*
   - This sense involves asserting or claiming something, which is not the primary function 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; Let's say you had a lot of money--what would you do?*
   - This sense is about supposing or hypothesizing, which does not fit the direct statement.

4. **sense_key=say%2:42:00::** - *definition=have or contain a certain wording or form; synonyms=read; examples=The passage reads as follows; What does the law say?*
   - This sense relates to the content or wording of something, not the act of speaking.

5. **sense_key=say%2:32:04::** - *definition=give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority; synonyms=order, tell, enjoin; examples=I said to him to go home; She ordered him to do the shopping.*
   - This sense involves giving commands, which is not the case here.

6. **sense_key=say%2:32:02::** - *definition=speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way; synonyms=pronounce, articulate, enounce, sound out, enunciate; examples=She pronounces French words in a funny way; I cannot say `zip wire'.*
   - This sense focuses on the manner of speaking, which is secondary to the primary function of introducing the statement.

7. **sense_key=say%2:32:07::** - *definition=communicate or express nonverbally; examples=What does this painting say?; Did his face say anything about how he felt?*
   - This sense involves nonverbal communication, which does not apply here.

8. **sense_key=say%2:32:15::** - *definition=utter aloud; examples=She said `Hello' to everyone in the office.*
   - This sense is close but too specific to simple utterances, whereas the context involves a more substantive statement.

9. **sense_key=say%2:32:13::** - *definition=state as one's opinion or judgement; declare; examples=I say let's forget this whole business.*
   - This sense involves declaring an opinion, which is not the primary function here.

10. **sense_key=say%2:32:08::** - *definition=recite or repeat a fixed text; examples=Say grace; She said her `Hail Mary'.*
    - This sense involves reciting, which does not fit the context.

11. **sense_key=say%2:32:09::** - *definition=indicate; examples=The clock says noon.*
    - This sense involves indicating, which is not the primary function here.

**Conclusion:**
The best-fitting sense is **sense_key=say%2:32:00::**, which involves expressing words or stating something, perfectly matching the context where "said" introduces a direct statement.

**Final Answer:**
```json
{"sense_index": 3}
```

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

*"But if he was the real thing, he could do something about Lolly."*

The phrase "the real thing" is commonly used to refer to something genuine or authentic, implying a special situation or condition. This aligns with the definition of **sense_key=thing%1:26:00::**, which is "a special situation." The other senses do not fit as well:

- **Sense 1** (special situation) directly matches the idiomatic use of "the real thing."
- **Sense 2** (action) and **Sense 3** (special abstraction) do not fit the context.
- **Sense 4** (artifact) and **Sense 8** (unspecified entity) are less appropriate.
- **Sense 6** (vaguely specified concern) and **Sense 11** (special objective) are not relevant.
- **Sense 9** (attribute or quality) and **Sense 10** (objective) do not capture the idiomatic meaning.
- **Sense 12** (persistent illogical feeling) is unrelated.

Thus, the best indexed sense is **sense_key=thing%1:26:00::**.

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

> "The cops didn't suspect a thing, and I **thought** it was a coincidence. After all, I didn't know you, Pete."

The key phrase here is **"I thought it was a coincidence."** This indicates that the speaker is reflecting on a situation, forming an opinion or belief about it. The context suggests that the speaker is using their reasoning to interpret an event (the lack of suspicion from the cops) as a coincidence.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **judge or regard; look upon; judge** – This sense involves forming an opinion about someone or something, but it doesn't capture the reflective reasoning about an event.
2. **expect, believe, or suppose** – This sense aligns with the idea of forming a belief or supposition about an event, which matches the speaker's reflection on the coincidence.
3. **use or exercise the mind or one's power of reason in order to make inferences, decisions, or arrive at a solution or judgments** – This sense directly describes the process of reasoning and forming a judgment about an event, which fits the context perfectly.
4. **recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection** – This sense is about remembering, which is not the primary activity described.
5. **imagine or visualize** – This sense involves visualization, which is not the focus here.
6. **focus one's attention on a certain state** – This sense is more about directing attention, not about forming a belief.
7. **have in mind as a purpose** – This sense relates to intention, which is not the main point.
8. **decide by pondering, reasoning, or reflecting** – This sense is close, but it emphasizes decision-making, whereas the sentence is about forming a belief about a coincidence.
9. **ponder; reflect on, or reason about** – This sense is similar to sense 3 but is more about the act of pondering without explicitly stating the resulting judgment.
10. **dispose the mind in a given way** – This sense is vague and does not specifically capture the belief formation.
11. **have or formulate in the mind** – This sense is broad and could apply, but it lacks the specificity of reasoning about an event.
12. **be capable of conscious thought** – This sense is about the ability to think, not about the specific act of thinking in this context.
13. **bring into a given condition by mental preoccupation** – This sense is too abstract for the specific context.

The most precise match for the context is **sense 3: use or exercise the mind or one's power of reason in order to make inferences, decisions, or arrive at a solution or judgments**. This sense captures the speaker's reflective reasoning about the coincidence.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

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

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
The sentence "I thought it was a <t>coincidence</t>" in the context of the police not suspecting anything and the speaker not knowing the other person suggests that the speaker regarded the occurrence as an accidental alignment of events, rather than a spatial or temporal alignment. The synonym "happenstance" further supports the interpretation of an accidental occurrence. Therefore, the best sense is the one defined as "an event that might have been arranged although it was really accidental."

Thus, the best indexed sense is the first one.

To determine the best sense for "say" in the given context:

**Context:**
"But it's just that -- well, you know. The cops didn't suspect a thing, and I thought it was a coincidence. After all, I didn't know you, Pete. It could have been an accident ". He shrugged casually. "But if you **say** you managed it "The stranger was hooked.

**Analysis of the context:**
- The phrase "if you **say** you managed it" implies that the speaker is asking the other person to **declare** or **assert** that they succeeded in something.
- This usage aligns with the idea of **reporting or maintaining** a claim, rather than merely expressing words, stating something formally, or giving instructions.

**Matching with candidate senses:**

1. **express in words** – too general, does not capture the authoritative assertion.
2. **report or maintain** – fits the context of asserting a claim ("if you say you managed it").
3. **express a supposition** – not about supposition, but a direct assertion.
4. **have or contain a certain wording or form** – irrelevant.
5. **give instructions** – not an instruction.
6. **speak in a certain way** – not about manner of speaking.
7. **communicate nonverbally** – irrelevant.
8. **communicate nonverbally** – irrelevant.
9. **state as one's opinion or judgement** – close, but "report or maintain" better captures the authoritative nature.
10. **recite a fixed text** – irrelevant.
11. **indicate** – too vague.

**Conclusion:** The best sense is **sense_key=say%2:32:01::**, which means "report or maintain."

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

"But if you say you **managed** it..."

The context suggests that the speaker is acknowledging that someone successfully achieved or carried out an action ("it") without being detected or suspected. The phrase "if you say you managed it" implies that the person in question successfully accomplished something, likely underhandedly or covertly, as indicated by the earlier mention of the cops not suspecting anything.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **be successful; achieve a goal** - This sense fits well with the idea of successfully accomplishing something, especially in a secretive manner.
2. **be in charge of, act on, or dispose of** - This sense does not align with the context of achieving a goal.
3. **come to terms with** - This sense is about coping with a situation, which does not match the context of successfully completing an action.
4. **watch and direct** - This sense involves oversight, which is unrelated to the context.
5. **achieve something by means of trickery or devious methods** - This sense specifically mentions achieving a goal through trickery, which aligns with the implication of not being detected by the cops.
6. **carry on or function** - This sense is too vague and does not capture the nuance of successful covert action.
7. **handle effectively** - This sense focuses on handling something well, which is less specific to the context of achieving a goal without detection.

Given the context and the need for the action to be achieved covertly, the best sense is the one that emphasizes achieving a goal through possibly deceptive means.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

**sense_key=manage%2:41:08:: | definition=achieve something by means of trickery or devious methods | synonyms=wangle, finagle**

The corresponding sense index is 5.

**Answer:**

To determine the best sense for "looked" in the given context:

**Context:**
"He shrugged casually. "But if you say you managed it "The stranger was hooked. His eyes burned feverishly. "Yes, yes ", he muttered impatiently. "Of course it **looked** like an accident. I always work it that way -- and always at a time when the customer has an alibi."

**Analysis of the context:**
The phrase "it **looked** like an accident" suggests that the situation appeared to be an accident, even though it might not have been one. This aligns with the idea of giving a certain impression or having a certain outward aspect.

**Evaluation of candidate senses:**

1. **sense_key=look%2:39:00::** - Perceive with attention; direct gaze. Not fitting, as the context is about appearance, not direct perception.
2. **sense_key=look%2:39:01::** - Give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect. Matches the context perfectly: "it looked like an accident" implies the situation appeared accidental.
3. **sense_key=look%2:29:00::** - Have a certain outward or facial expression. Not relevant; the context is about the situation's appearance, not facial expression.
4. **sense_key=look%2:39:02::** - Search or seek. Irrelevant to the context.
5. **sense_key=look%2:42:00::** - Be oriented in a certain direction. Not applicable.

8. **sense_key=look%2:31:00::** - Look forward to the probable occurrence. Not applicable.
9. **sense_key=look%2:42:02::** - Accord in appearance with. Close, but less precise than sense 2 for this specific phrasing.
10. **sense_key=look%2:31:02::** - Have faith or confidence in. Not relevant.

**Conclusion:**
The best sense is **sense_key=look%2:39:01::**, which means "give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect." This matches the context where "it looked like an accident" indicates the situation appeared accidental.
