Target lemma: entrance
Target surface form: entrance
Context:
Inside the lobby, people were standing around, talking excitedly. His spine crawled with a foreboding premonition as he asked one of his fellow tenants what had happened. 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 <t>entrance</t>. Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=entrance%1:06:00:: | definition=something that provides access (to get in or get out) | synonyms=entranceway, entryway, entry, entree | examples=they waited at the entrance to the garden; beggars waited just outside the entryway to the cathedral
2. sense_key=entrance%1:11:00:: | definition=a movement into or inward | synonyms=entering
3. sense_key=entrance%1:04:00:: | definition=the act of entering | synonyms=entering, entry, ingress, incoming | examples=she made a grand entrance

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
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 context describes a physical location where someone fell, specifically "just outside the basement delivery **entrance**." This indicates that "entrance" is referring to a point of access or entry to a building or area, which aligns with the definition of a place that provides access. The other senses (movement into or inward, and the act of entering) do not fit the context as well as the definition of a point of access. Therefore, the best sense is the one describing a point of access.

The corresponding sense index for this definition in the provided list is 1.

Thus, the answer is:

```json
{"sense_index": 1}
```

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

> "He hoped that nobody **noticed** his sudden pallor..."

The key phrase here is "nobody noticed his sudden pallor." The speaker, Haney, is concerned that others will perceive or become aware of his physical reaction (sudden pallor). This aligns with the definition of "notice" as **to perceive or become aware of something**.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=notice%2:39:04::** - "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of." This sense is more about detecting or finding something, which doesn't fit the context of perceiving a personal reaction.
2. **sense_key=notice%2:39:00::** - "notice or perceive." This directly matches the idea of perceiving Haney's pallor, making it the most appropriate sense.
3. **sense_key=notice%2:32:00::** - "make or write a comment on." This sense involves commenting or remarking, which is not relevant to Haney's concern about being perceived.
4. **sense_key=notice%2:32:01::** - "express recognition of the presence or existence of, or acquaintance with." This sense involves acknowledging or recognizing someone or something, which is not the focus here.

Given the context and the synonyms (detect, observe, find, discover for sense 1; mark, note for sense 2; comment, remark, point out for sense 3; acknowledge for sense 4), the best fit is **sense_key=notice%2:39:00::**, which means "notice or perceive."

Therefore, the correct indexed sense is:

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

> "He muttered something about how terrible it was, and walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator. Haney hoped that nobody noticed his sudden pallor, as he **felt** the blood drain from his cheeks."

The phrase "felt the blood drain from his cheeks" indicates a physical sensation of losing blood, which corresponds to perceiving a bodily change through touch or bodily awareness. This aligns with the definition of **perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles**.

Among the candidate senses, this matches:

- **sense_key=feel%2:39:00::** definition=perceive by a physical sensation, e.g., coming from the skin or muscles | synonyms=sense | examples=He felt the wind; She felt an object brushing her arm

Therefore, the best indexed sense is sense 3.

Haney's comment about how "terrible" it was, in this context, reflects his reaction to the extreme horror and distress caused by the incident. The word "terrible" here is used to convey a sense of intense fear or dread due to the awful nature of the event, rather than merely describing it as exceptionally bad or an extreme amount.

Given the context of a shocking, horrifying event and the synonym set that includes "awful," "dreadful," and "direful," the most fitting sense is the one that denotes causing fear or dread or terror.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

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

> He muttered something about how terrible it was, and **walked** with deliberate slowness to the elevator.

The key aspects of the context are:
- The action follows a statement about feeling terrible.
- The manner of walking is described as "with deliberate slowness."
- The purpose seems to be moving to the elevator, not accompanying someone or performing a ritualistic behavior.

Now, let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **use one's feet to advance; advance by steps** - General definition of walking.
2. **accompany or escort** - Walking someone somewhere.
3. **obtain a base on balls** - Baseball term, irrelevant here.
4. **traverse or cover by walking** - Walking a distance or path.
5. **give a base on balls to** - Baseball term, irrelevant here.
6. **live or behave in a specified manner** - Metaphorical sense of "walking" a certain way.
7. **be or act in association with** - Metaphorical sense of "walking" with something.
8. **walk at a pace** - Walking with a specific speed or manner.
9. **make walk** - To cause someone or something to walk.
10. **take a walk; go for a walk; walk for pleasure** - Walking for leisure.

The context emphasizes the manner ("with deliberate slowness") and the action of moving to a specific location (the elevator). This aligns best with the sense of **traversing or covering a distance by walking**, as it captures both the act of walking and the specific manner in which it is done.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 3}

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. He muttered something about how terrible it was, and walked with <t>deliberate</t> slowness to the elevator. 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

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 context describes Haney walking "with <t>deliberate</t> slowness" after witnessing a fall. The phrase "deliberate slowness" suggests a purposeful, unhurried manner, emphasizing careful and dignified movement rather than a carefully planned action. The synonym "measured" in the second sense aligns with this unhurried, careful pacing. Therefore, the best sense is the one describing an unhurried, careful manner.

The second sense matches this interpretation:
- 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 best indexed sense is the second one.

raw_output:
The context describes Haney walking "with deliberate slowness" to the elevator. This indicates a purposeful, unhurried pace rather than a lack of skill, mental development, or general sluggishness. The synonym "deliberation" aligns with this meaning, pointing to a sense of intentional unhurriedness.

Therefore, the best sense is:

**Definition:** a rate demonstrating an absence of haste or hurry
**Synonyms:** deliberation, deliberateness, unhurriedness

This corresponds to **sense_key=slowness%1:07:00::**, which is sense index 2 in the provided list.

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 walked with deliberate slowness to the <t>elevator</t>. Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=elevator%1:06:00:: | definition=lifting device consisting of a platform or cage that is raised and lowered mechanically in a vertical shaft in order to move people from one floor to another in a building | synonyms=lift
2. sense_key=elevator%1:06:01:: | definition=the airfoil on the tailplane of an aircraft that makes it ascend or descend

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
The context describes Haney walking to the "elevator" after witnessing a fall, and then going to his apartment. This clearly refers to a mechanical device used to move people between floors in a building, which matches the definition of a "lifting device" or "lift." The second sense, related to aircraft tailplanes, does not fit the context at all. Therefore, the best sense is the first one.

The context describes Haney "flopping limply in a chair" after a fall, indicating he fell and then lay down loosely and without strength. This aligns with the definition "fall loosely" and the example "He flopped into a chair." The other senses do not fit as well: "fall suddenly and abruptly" does not capture the limp, relaxed manner, and "fail utterly; collapse" is too strong for the situation. Therefore, the best sense is the one meaning "fall loosely."

- The sentence: "he poured a drink with trembling hands and **flopped limply in a chair**."
- The context describes Haney returning to his apartment, feeling drained, and then sitting down in a chair to rest.

   - Example: "he put his coat over the back of the chair and sat down" aligns with the idea of sitting down to relax.

3. **The officer who presides at the meetings of an organization**
   - The text does not mention any meetings, organization, or presiding role.
   - Synonyms like "president" or "chairman" are not applicable.

4. **An instrument of execution by electrocution**

**Conclusion:**
The most fitting sense is the one describing a regular seat for one person, as it directly corresponds to Haney sitting down to rest after a distressing event.

2. **sense_key=feel%2:31:00::** - Come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds. This is more about forming a belief, not directly about feeling better.

- Among the candidate senses, sense 1 ("inquire about") and sense 2 ("make a request or demand for something to somebody") are most relevant.
- The context specifically refers to the absence of questioning, which fits the sense of **inquire about** more directly, as it captures the idea of not seeking information.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

The sentence "as he felt the blood drain from his cheeks. He muttered something about how terrible it was, and walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator. Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair. After a while he began to feel better about it, especially when no one bothered to ask any <t>questions</t>." clearly refers to people not inquiring about the incident. The phrase "no one bothered to ask any questions" is a direct request for a reply or inquiry, fitting the definition of a "question" as a sentence of inquiry that asks for a reply. The synonyms (inquiry, enquiry, query, interrogation) and the example ("he asked a direct question") further support this interpretation.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

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

Target lemma: coincidence
Target surface form: coincidence
Context:
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 walked with deliberate slowness to the elevator. Once inside his apartment, he poured a drink with trembling hands and flopped limply in a chair. After a while he began to feel better about it, especially when no one bothered to ask any questions. But after all, why should they? Still later, he finally convinced himself that it was an accident -- just a <t>coincidence</t>. The stranger really had nothing to do with it, of course

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=coincidence%1:11:00:: | definition=an event that might have been arranged although it was really accidental | synonyms=happenstance
2. sense_key=coincidence%1:07:02:: | definition=the quality of occupying the same position or area in space | examples=he waited for the coincidence of the target and the cross hairs
3. sense_key=coincidence%1:07:01:: | definition=the temporal property of two things happening at the same time | synonyms=concurrence, conjunction, co-occurrence | examples=the interval determining the coincidence gate is adjustable

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 context describes Haney convincing himself that an event was "just a coincidence," implying that the event occurred without any intentional arrangement, merely by chance. This aligns with the definition of **coincidence** as "an event that might have been arranged although it was really accidental," which is captured by the first sense. The other senses refer to spatial or temporal alignment, which do not fit the narrative about an accidental, chance occurrence.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 1}

raw_output:
The context describes a situation where a "stranger" is mentioned in relation to a landlord and the protagonist's landlord-related issues. The sentence "The stranger really had nothing to do with it, of course" implies that the stranger is an individual who is not directly involved or known to the protagonist, fitting the definition of someone who is not acquainted with the protagonist. This aligns with the second sense:

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

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the second one.

raw_output:
The context describes the landlord as "that lousy landlord," implying that the landlord is very bad or unpleasant, not dirty or infested with lice. The synonym list for the first sense includes "crappy, rotten, shitty, stinking," which aligns with the negative evaluation of the landlord. The other senses (infested with lice, vile/despicable) do not fit the context as well. Therefore, the best sense is the one meaning "very bad."

The sense index for "very bad" is 1.

Thus, the answer is:

{"sense_index": 1}

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

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

**Analysis of the context:**
- The phrase "the man **had** no family" is used to state a factual possession or ownership of a characteristic (the absence of a family).
- This aligns with the idea of **having** something in a concrete sense, i.e., possessing or being characterized by something.

**Evaluation of candidate senses:**
1. **sense_key=have%2:40:00::** – "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense."
   - Synonyms: have got, hold.
   - Example: "She has $1,000 in the bank."
   - Fits the context of stating possession (or lack thereof) of a family.

2. **sense_key=have%2:42:00::** – "have as a feature."
   - Less appropriate; the context is about possession, not a feature of an object.

3. **sense_key=have%2:39:06::** – "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)."
   - Not relevant; the context is not about experiencing something.

4. **sense_key=have%2:40:04::** – "have ownership or possession of."
   - Very close, but the broader definition in sense 1 (concrete or abstract) better captures the simple statement about possession.

5. **Other senses (have%2:30:00::, have%2:34:00::, etc.)** – Do not fit the context of stating possession.

**Conclusion:**
The best sense is **sense_key=have%2:40:00::**, which corresponds to the definition "have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense." This matches the context where "had" indicates the man's lack of a family.

**JSON response:**
```json
{"sense_index": 3}

raw_output:
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 consisting of relatives. The context suggests a lack of a traditional family structure (parents and children) or a household, indicating that the man is without relatives or a close-knit group of people related by blood or marriage.

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **Social unit living together (household, house, home, menage)**: This sense refers to a group living together, which could include roommates or a household without necessarily implying relatives. The context, however, emphasizes the absence of relatives rather than just a living arrangement.

2. **Primary social group; parents and children (family unit)**: This sense directly addresses the concept of a family as a group of relatives, including parents and children. The context explicitly mentions the man lacking a family, aligning well with this definition.

3. **Collection of things sharing a common attribute (class, category)**: This sense is unrelated to the social context of the sentence.

4. **People descended from a common ancestor (family line, folk, kinfolk, etc.)**: While this sense also pertains to relatives, it emphasizes lineage and ancestry. The context does not specifically refer to lineage but rather to the absence of a family unit in general.

5. **A person having kinship with another or others (kin, kinsperson)**: This sense focuses on individual relationships rather than a group, which does not fit the context of the man lacking a family.

6. **A taxonomic group containing one or more genera (biology)**: Clearly unrelated to the social context.

7. **A loose affiliation of gangsters (syndicate, crime syndicate, mob)**: This sense is unrelated to the context of a man lacking a family.

8. **An association of people who share common beliefs or activities (fellowship)**: This sense refers to a group bonded by shared beliefs, not specifically by blood relations, which does not match the context.

Given the analysis, the most appropriate sense is **sense_key=family%1:14:00::**, which defines a family as a primary social group consisting of parents and children. This aligns perfectly with the context of the man lacking a family, implying the absence of relatives or a household unit.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

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

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

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

The key phrase here is "no one suffered." The context implies that there was no negative consequence or emotional pain experienced by anyone due to the situation described. The sentence contrasts the absence of suffering with the improvement in everyone's situation ("everybody was better off for it").

Let's evaluate the candidate senses:

1. **Undergo or be subjected to** (sense 1): This is too broad and does not specifically address the lack of negative experience.
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 directly relates to the absence of emotional pain or distress, which aligns with "no one suffered."
4. **Put up with something or somebody unpleasant** (sense 4): This suggests tolerating an unpleasant situation, which is not the focus of the sentence.
5. **Get worse** (sense 5): This implies a decline, which contradicts "everybody was better off."
6. **Feel pain or be in pain** (sense 6): Similar to sense 2, it focuses on physical pain, not the broader emotional or existential sense implied.
7. **Feel physical pain** (sense 7): Again, too narrow and not aligned with the context.
8. **Feel unwell or uncomfortable** (sense 8): This is close but still narrower than the emotional pain sense.
9. **Be given to** (sense 9): This suggests a tendency, which does not fit the context of "no one suffered."
10. **Undergo or suffer** (sense 10): Similar to sense 1, too broad without specifying the nature of suffering.
11. **Be set at a disadvantage** (sense 11): This implies a disadvantage, which is not the focus here.

The context clearly indicates the absence of emotional or existential pain, making **sense 3 (experience (emotional) pain)** the most appropriate choice.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

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

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 supposition to himself. This aligns with the definition of "say" as **express a supposition**. The context involves the character convincing himself of something, which is a mental assertion or hypothesis rather than a direct statement to another person, a formal report, an order, or a non-verbal communication.

**Evaluation of candidate senses:**

1. **Express in words** (state, tell) – Too general; does not capture the introspective nature.
2. **Report or maintain** (allege, aver) – Implies asserting a claim publicly, not fitting the introspective context.
3. **Express a supposition** (suppose) – Matches the introspective thought process of convincing oneself.
4. **Have or contain a certain wording or form** (read) – Irrelevant to the context.
5. **Give instructions to or direct somebody** (order, tell) – Not applicable as there is no direction to another.
6. **Speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way** (pronounce) – Focuses on articulation, not on the content of the thought.
7. **Communicate or express nonverbally** – Contradicts the verbal nature of "said."
8. **Utter aloud** – While "said" implies speaking aloud, the context emphasizes internal reflection.
9. **State as one's opinion or judgement** – Close, but "express a supposition" better captures the tentative nature of the thought.
10. **Recite or repeat a fixed text** – Not relevant.
11. **Indicate** – Too vague and does not fit the introspective context.

**Conclusion:**

The most fitting sense is **express a supposition**, which corresponds to **sense_key=say%2:32:03::**.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

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