Target lemma: devastate
Target surface form: devastating
Context:
In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's <t>devastating</t> earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could. Some found it on the screen of a personal computer.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=devastate%2:30:00:: | definition=cause extensive destruction or ruin utterly | synonyms=lay waste to, waste, desolate, ravage, scourge | examples=The enemy lay waste to the countryside after the invasion
2. sense_key=devastate%2:30:01:: | definition=overwhelm or overpower | examples=He was devastated by his grief when his son died

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 the aftermath of an earthquake, emphasizing the extensive destruction and ruin it caused, which aligns with the definition "cause extensive destruction or ruin utterly." The synonym "lay waste to" and the example "The enemy lay waste to the countryside after the invasion" further support this interpretation. The second sense, "overwhelm or overpower," does not fit the context of describing the earthquake's impact on the landscape and infrastructure.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the first one.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "searched" in the context "In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents <t>searched</t> for comfort and solace wherever they could. Some found it on the screen of a personal computer," we analyze the context and compare it with the provided senses:

1. **Sense 1**: "try to locate or discover, or try to establish the existence of" with synonyms "seek, look for." Example: "The police are searching for clues." This sense implies a physical or investigative search, which doesn't perfectly match the abstract search for comfort and solace.

2. **Sense 2**: "search or seek" with synonym "look." Example: "We looked all day and finally found the child in the forest." This sense is broader and can apply to seeking comfort, but it lacks the nuance of actively looking for something specific.

3. **Sense 3**: "inquire into" with synonyms "research, explore." Example: "the students had to research the history of the Second World War for their history project." This sense fits well because residents are actively looking for comfort and solace, akin to researching or exploring emotional support.

4. **Sense 4**: "subject to a search" with example: "The police searched the suspect." This sense is about being examined or investigated, which does not align with the context of seeking comfort.

Given the context emphasizes a quest for emotional support ("searched for comfort and solace"), **Sense 3** ("inquire into") best captures the meaning, as it involves actively seeking or exploring for something specific—emotional solace—in this case.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

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

To determine the best sense for "comfort" in the context "In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for <t>comfort</t> and solace wherever they could. Some found it on the screen of a personal computer.", we analyze the surrounding words and the overall meaning:

- **Contextual clues**: The phrase "searched for comfort and solace" suggests a need for emotional relief or reassurance following a traumatic event (the earthquake). The mention of "solace" directly reinforces the idea of emotional consolation.
- **Synonyms and examples**:
  - Sense 3 includes synonyms "consolation" and "solace," with examples like "his presence was a consolation to her." This aligns perfectly with the need for emotional support after a disaster.
  - Other senses (1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7) either focus on physical relaxation, financial ease, or literal bedding, which do not fit the emotional context of seeking relief from trauma.

Given these observations, the most appropriate sense is the one that captures the emotional relief and consolation sought by the residents.

**Conclusion**: The best indexed sense is **sense_key=comfort%1:04:00::**, which defines comfort as "the act of consoling; giving relief in affliction."

Therefore, the JSON response is:

```json
{"sense_index": 3}

The context describes Bay Area residents seeking "comfort and solace" after an earthquake, with some finding it on a computer screen. This implies they are looking for emotional relief and consolation in a time of distress. The definition that best captures this is "the comfort you feel when consoled in times of disappointment," which aligns with the idea of seeking relief and consolation after a traumatic event. The synonyms "consolation" and "solacement" further support this interpretation, and the example "second place was no consolation to him" illustrates the concept of consolation in the face of disappointment.

Context:
In the long, frightening night after Tuesday's devastating earthquake, Bay Area residents searched for comfort and solace wherever they could. Some found it on the screen of a personal computer. Hundreds of Californians made their way to their computers after the quake, and checked in with each other on electronic bulletin boards, which link <t>computers</t> CB-radio-style, via phone lines. Some of the most vivid bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=computer%1:06:00:: | definition=a machine for performing calculations automatically | synonyms=computing machine, computing device, data processor, electronic computer, information processing system

The context describes "computers" as devices used by people to connect and communicate electronically after an earthquake, specifically mentioning "personal computers" and "electronic bulletin boards" linked via phone lines. This clearly refers to the machines used for performing calculations and processing information, not to a person skilled in calculation. Therefore, the best sense is the one describing the electronic device.

The appropriate sense is:

sense_key=computer%1:06:00::

Thus, the indexed sense is 1.

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

> "Some of the most <t>vivid</t> bulletins came over The Well, a Sausalito, Calif., board that is one of the liveliest outposts of the electronic underground."

The phrase "vivid bulletins" refers to the content of the electronic messages (bulletins) that were particularly striking or memorable. The context suggests that these bulletins were notable for their clarity, immediacy, and impact on the readers' experience, rather than for their color or pictorial quality.

Let's evaluate each candidate sense:

1. **Realistic (sense_key=vivid%5:00:00:realistic:00)**: This sense pertains to evoking lifelike images. While the bulletins might be described as realistic in the sense that they conveyed real experiences, the primary emphasis in the text is on their striking nature, not on their lifelike depiction.

2. **Clear (sense_key=vivid%5:00:00:clear:00)**: This sense means having the clarity and freshness of immediate experience. The context highlights that the bulletins were "most vivid," implying they were clear and fresh, capturing the immediate experience of the earthquake aftermath. This aligns well with the idea of bulletins being memorable and impactful.

3. **Colorful (sense_key=vivid%5:00:00:colorful:00)**: This sense relates to having striking color. The context does not mention any color aspect of the bulletins, so this sense is less relevant.

4. **Saturated (sense_key=vivid%5:00:00:saturated:03)**: This sense concerns the highest saturation of color. Again, there is no mention of color saturation in the context, making this sense inappropriate.

Given the analysis, the sense that best captures the meaning of "vivid" in this context is **clear**, as it emphasizes the bulletins' clarity and freshness, making them stand out as particularly memorable and impactful.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

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

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

*"the subscribers <t>use</t> to identify themselves."*

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The phrase "subscribers use to identify themselves" suggests that the word "use" refers to the action of employing something (in this case, a name or nickname) for a specific purpose, which is identification.
- The context involves electronic bulletin boards and subscribers, where nicknames are used for identification purposes.

**Synonym and Example Matching:**
1. **Sense 1:** "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose" with synonyms like "utilize," "apply," and "employ." Example: "use your head!" fits the idea of employing something (a nickname) for identification.
2. **Sense 2:** "take or consume (regularly or habitually)" with synonym "habituate." Example: "She uses drugs rarely" does not fit the context of identification.
3. **Sense 3:** "use up, consume fully" with synonym "expend." Example: "The legislature expended its time" does not relate to identification.
4. **Sense 4:** "seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage." Example: "She uses her influential friends to get jobs" involves strategic use, not identification.
5. **Sense 5:** "avail oneself to" with synonyms "practice," "apply." Example: "apply a principle" does not fit the context of nicknames.
6. **Sense 6:** "habitually do something (use only in the past tense)." Example: "She used to call her mother" does not fit the present context of identification.

**Conclusion:**
The context clearly indicates that "use" is employed to describe how subscribers employ nicknames for identification, aligning perfectly with **Sense 1**.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

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

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

*"the initials or nicknames are those subscribers use to <t>identify</t> themselves."*

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The phrase "subscribers use to identify themselves" suggests that the word "identify" is used to describe how subscribers present or label themselves.
- This implies a naming or labeling function rather than recognizing someone else, associating oneself with others, or establishing biological identity.

**Synonym and Example Matching:**
- **Sense 1 (recognize as being):** Involves recognizing someone else, which doesn't fit the context of subscribers labeling themselves.
- **Sense 2 (give the name or identifying characteristics of; refer to by name):** Matches the idea of using initials or nicknames to label oneself, aligning with the context.
- **Sense 3 (consider oneself as similar to somebody else):** Implies a psychological identification, which is not the focus here.
- **Sense 4 (conceive of as united or associated):** Suggests a conceptual association, not relevant to naming oneself.
- **Sense 5 (identify as in botany or biology):** Pertains to scientific classification, unrelated to the context.
- **Sense 6 (consider to be equal or the same):** Implies equivalence, not applicable to naming oneself.

**Conclusion:**
The context clearly indicates that "identify" is used to describe how subscribers label themselves with initials or nicknames. This aligns with **Sense 2**, which involves giving a name or identifying characteristic.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is **Sense 2**.

**JSON Response:**
```json

raw_output:
The context describes a location within an old building on the third floor, mentioning "the <t>avenues</t>". Given that the sentence refers to an interior space within a building rather than an outdoor street or thoroughfare, the most appropriate sense is the one referring to a "line of approach" or a "passage" within a building, which aligns with the idea of being "in the avenues" of a building. This matches the first candidate sense more closely than the second, which pertains to a wide street.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

Context:
Following are excerpts from the electronic traffic that night. The time is Pacific Daylight Time, and the initials or nicknames are those subscribers use to identify themselves. 11:54 p.m. JCKC: Wow! I was in the avenues, on the third floor of an old <t>building</t>, and except for my heart -LRB- Beat, BEAT! -RRB- I'm OK. Got back to Bolinas, and everything had fallen: broken poster frames with glass on the floor, file cabinets open or dumped onto the floor.

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

raw_output:
The context describes a person being in the "third floor of an old building" and mentions the interior state of the structure (broken poster frames, open file cabinets). This clearly refers to the physical structure itself rather than the act of constructing it or its occupants. The example "there was a three-story building on the corner; it was an imposing edifice" matches the usage in the text.

Therefore, the best sense is:

**sense_key=building%1:06:00::** (a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place)

**Selected sense index:** 1

**JSON response:** {"sense_index": 1}
