To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "hard" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "It's hard to believe this really is happening."

First, we should understand the context. The speaker is reacting to a significant event, likely an earthquake given the mention of aftershocks and seeing flames from San Francisco. The speaker is expressing disbelief or struggling to accept the reality of the situation.

Now, let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Not easy; requiring great physical or mental effort to accomplish or comprehend or endure.** This sense fits the context as believing the event is happening is not easy.
2. **Dispassionate** - This doesn't directly fit the context of disbelieving an event.
3. **Resisting weight or pressure** - This is more about physical properties, not directly relevant here.
4. **Very strong or vigorous** - While the event is significant, "hard" here doesn't describe the event's strength directly.
5. **Characterized by effort to the point of exhaustion; especially physical effort** - This doesn't directly apply to the mental state of disbelieving.
6. **Produced without vibration of the vocal cords** - This is phonetics-related and not relevant.
7. **(of light) transmitted directly from a pointed light source** - Not relevant to the context.
8. **(of speech sounds); produced with the back of the tongue raised toward or touching the velum** - Also not relevant as it pertains to phonetics.
9. & 10. Relate to alcohol consumption or content, not relevant.
11. **Unfortunate or hard to bear** - While the event is unfortunate, "hard" here is about the difficulty of believing, not directly about the event being unfortunate.
12. **Dried out** - Not relevant to the context.

The sentence implies that it's difficult for the speaker to believe what's happening. The closest definition is the first one: "not easy; requiring great physical or mental effort to accomplish or comprehend or endure." The act of believing is being used in a context where it's hard to comprehend or accept the reality, fitting the definition of "difficult."

Thus, the best indexed sense is the first one.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "believe" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "It's hard to believe this really is happening."

Here, the speaker is expressing difficulty in accepting the reality of a situation (likely an earthquake given the context of aftershocks and seeing flames from San Francisco). The use of "hard to believe" indicates a struggle to accept something as true or real.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is "accept as true; take to be true." The example given is "I believed his report; We didn't believe his stories from the War." This sense aligns with the context because the speaker is having trouble accepting the reality of the situation, which implies they are struggling to take it as true.

2. The second sense involves judging or regarding something in a certain way, with synonyms like "think, consider, conceive." The example is "I think he is very smart; I believe her to be very smart." While related, this sense leans more towards an opinion or assessment rather than the acceptance of a fact or reality.

3. The third sense is about being confident about something, with "trust" as a synonym. The example given is "I believe that he will come back from the war." This involves a level of faith or confidence in an outcome or situation.

4. The fourth sense is about following a credo or having faith, exemplified by "When you hear his sermons, you will be able to believe, too." This is more about religious or ideological belief.

5. The fifth sense involves crediting someone with veracity, as in "You cannot believe this man; Should we believe a publication like the National Enquirer?" This is about trusting the truthfulness of a person or source.

Given the context, the speaker's difficulty is in accepting the reality of the situation ("this really is happening"), which aligns most closely with the first sense: accepting something as true. The phrase "hard to believe" is commonly used to express that something is difficult to accept as real or true.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "believe" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "happening" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is about someone describing their experience or reaction to an earthquake or a significant event, mentioning aftershocks, seeing flames from a distance, and expressing disbelief that the event is real.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "happening," which is a form of the verb "happen." The task is to identify the correct sense of "happen" as used in the sentence "It's hard to believe this really is happening."

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. come to pass**: This sense is related to events occurring or taking place. The example "What is happening?" aligns with the context of the sentence, where the speaker is trying to process or believe the event is occurring.
   - **2. happen by chance**: This involves events occurring by chance. While it could fit some contexts related to unexpected events, the focus here is more on the reality of the event rather than its causation or lack thereof.
   - **3. chance to be or do something**: This sense involves doing or being something without intention, which doesn't directly fit the context of the sentence.
   - **4. come into being; become reality**: This involves something becoming real or actual. While it could relate to the context of an event unfolding, the primary concern is the occurrence rather than the realization of something previously not real.
   - **5. come upon or encounter**: This involves meeting or finding something by chance, which doesn't directly apply to the context of the event's occurrence.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The sentence "It's hard to believe this really is happening" suggests that the speaker is struggling to accept the reality of the event they are experiencing. The focus is on the event's occurrence and the speaker's difficulty in believing it is actually taking place.
   - The most relevant sense here is **1. come to pass**, as it directly relates to the event occurring or taking place. The example "What is happening?" is particularly relevant, as it mirrors the structure and context of the sentence in question.

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "happening" in the given context is the first one, which corresponds to the definition "come to pass."

Therefore, the JSON response is: {"sense_index": 1}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "Building" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is about a user (GR8FLRED) discussing their observations and actions related to a significant event, likely a fire, given the mention of "flames from San Francisco" and a "Building on the corner severely damaged." The user is hosting an old lady and her mother in their guest room, indicating the user is providing shelter due to the damage.

2. **Target Word Context**: The target word "Building" is used in the sentence "Building on the corner severely damaged, so an old lady and her very old mother are in the guest room." Here, "Building" refers to a specific structure.

3. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. sense_key=building%1:06:00::**: This sense defines "building" as "a structure that has a roof and walls and stands more or less permanently in one place." The example given is "there was a three-story building on the corner," which closely matches the context provided for "Building on the corner severely damaged."
   - **2. sense_key=building%1:04:00::**: This defines "building" as "the act of constructing something." The context does not support this sense as it doesn't discuss the act of construction but rather refers to a specific structure.
   - **3. sense_key=building%1:04:01::**: This sense is about "the commercial activity involved in repairing old structures or constructing new ones." While related to structures, the context doesn't directly relate to the commercial activity of construction or repair.
   - **4. sense_key=building%1:14:00::**: This defines "building" as "the occupants of a building." The context doesn't support this interpretation as it refers to a specific structure being damaged, not its occupants complaining or acting.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly refers to a specific structure ("on the corner severely damaged"), aligning with the definition of a physical edifice or structure.
   - Sense 1 directly corresponds to this interpretation, as it defines a building as a physical structure.

5. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "Building" in the given context is the first sense, which corresponds to a physical structure or edifice.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "corner" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context is: "Building on the corner severely damaged, so an old lady and her very old mother are in the guest room. Books and software everywhere."

From the sentence, we understand that there is a building located on a "corner" that has been severely damaged. The subsequent mention of an old lady, her mother, and the presence of books and software in a guest room suggests that the building is likely a residential or mixed-use structure.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A place off to the side of an area - This doesn't directly relate to the context of a building being on a corner.
2. The point where two lines meet or intersect - While this is geometrically related to a corner, it's too abstract for the context.
3. An interior angle formed by two meeting walls - This refers to an inside corner of a room, not a building's location.
4. The intersection of two streets - This is a common meaning of "corner" and fits the context of a building being located on it.
5. The point where three areas or surfaces meet or intersect - This is more relevant to 3D objects like cubes.
6. A small concavity - This doesn't fit the context of a building's location.
7. A temporary monopoly on a kind of commercial trade - This is unrelated to the physical location or condition of a building.
8. A predicament from which a skillful or graceful escape is impossible - This is metaphorical and doesn't relate to the physical context.
9. A projecting part where two sides or edges meet - While this could relate to architectural features, it's not the most straightforward interpretation in this context.
10. A remote area - This doesn't directly relate to the context of a specific building on a corner.
11. (Architecture) solid exterior angle of a building; especially one formed by a cornerstone - This refers to the architectural feature of a corner of a building.

Given the context that a building is "on the corner" and is severely damaged, the most relevant sense is the intersection of two streets, which is where the building is located.

The best answer is {"sense_index": 4}.

raw_output:
To determine the correct sense of the word "damaged" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information.

The context is about a building on a corner being severely "damaged" due to some event (implied to be related to flames or a fire, as mentioned in the preceding sentence about seeing flames from a distance). The sentence implies that the damage to the building is a result of an external cause (the fire or flames), and it has led to a situation where an old lady and her mother are being accommodated in a guest room, with the area being cluttered with books and software.

The two candidate senses for "damage" are:
1. Inflict damage upon (e.g., "The snow damaged the roof"; "She damaged the car when she hit the tree").
2. Suffer or be susceptible to damage (e.g., "These fine china cups damage easily").

The sentence "Building on the corner severely damaged..." suggests that the building has suffered harm or injury due to an external cause. The phrase "severely damaged" is used to describe the state of the building as a result of the event.

The first sense, "inflict damage upon," aligns with the context because it implies that some external agent or event (in this case, likely the fire or flames) has caused damage to the building. The sentence is describing the result of an action (the damage caused by the fire) rather than the building's inherent susceptibility to damage.

The second sense, "suffer or be susceptible to damage," is more about the propensity or tendency of something to be damaged, rather than the act of damage itself. While it could be argued that the building "suffered damage," the primary interpretation here is that the building has been damaged by an external cause, not that it has a tendency to be damaged.

Therefore, the best sense for "damaged" in this context is the first one, as it directly relates to the action of inflicting damage upon something.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "old" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context is: "Building on the corner severely damaged, so an old lady and her very old mother are in the guest room. Books and software everywhere."

1. The first instance of "old" is used to describe a lady, likely indicating she is of advanced age or elderly.
2. The second instance of "old" is used to describe the lady's mother, with "very" emphasizing her age.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=old%3:00:02::** - This definition refers to persons having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age. Both instances of "old" in the context fit this description, as they describe the age of the lady and her mother.

2. **sense_key=old%3:00:01::** - This refers to something being of long duration or not new. While it could apply to objects or concepts, it's less directly related to describing a person's age.

3. **sense_key=old%5:00:00:familiar:00** - This sense is used for emphasis to indicate something or someone is very familiar. The context doesn't strongly suggest that "old" is used here to convey familiarity.

4. **sense_key=old%5:00:00:experienced:00** - This refers to being skilled through long experience. The context doesn't indicate that the lady or her mother are being described in terms of their experience or skill.

5. **sense_key=old%5:00:03:past:00** - This sense refers to something or someone belonging to a prior time. While it could potentially apply, the primary focus is on their age rather than their being from a different time.

6. **sense_key=old%5:00:00:genuine:00** - This is used informally for emphasis. The context doesn't suggest that "old" is used here to emphasize genuineness.

7. **sense_key=old%5:00:00:early:01** - This refers to a very early stage in development, often used in the context of historical or developmental stages (e.g., Old English). It doesn't fit the context of describing individuals' ages.

8. **sense_key=old%5:00:00:preceding:00** - This sense refers to something just preceding something else in time or order. The context doesn't indicate that "old" is used to describe a sequence or order.

Given the context, the first instance of "old" describes the lady as being of a relatively advanced age, and the second instance, with "very old," further emphasizes the age of her mother. The most fitting definition is the first one, which corresponds to **sense_index=1**.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "old" in the given context is: {"sense_index": 1}.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "lady" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is about a natural disaster (likely a fire or earthquake given the mention of flames and damage to a building) and its immediate aftermath. The specific sentence with the target word is: "Building on the corner severely damaged, so an old lady and her very old mother are in the guest room." Here, "lady" refers to a woman, specifically an older one, who is hosting her even older mother in a guest room due to the damage to their primary residence.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "a polite name for any woman" with an example "a nice lady at the library helped me." This sense is quite general and is used as a polite or courteous term for any woman.
   - **Sense 2**: "a woman of refinement" with synonyms like "dame, madam, ma'am, gentlewoman" and an example "a chauffeur opened the door of the limousine for the grand lady." This implies a certain level of elegance, sophistication, or high social standing.
   - **Sense 3**: "a woman of the peerage in Britain" with synonyms "noblewoman, peeress." This refers specifically to a woman holding a title of nobility.

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context does not suggest that the "lady" is necessarily of high social standing or nobility (Sense 2 and Sense 3). The focus is on the situation (damage from a disaster) rather than the social status of the individuals involved.
   - The term "old lady" is used, which is a common expression for an elderly woman. The use of "lady" here is polite and refers to any woman, in this case, an older one.

4. **Conclusion**: Given the context and the usage of "lady" as a polite term for an elderly woman without any specific reference to her social standing or nobility, the most appropriate sense is **Sense 1**: "a polite name for any woman."

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "lady" in the given context is Sense 1.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "old" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context is: "Building on the corner severely damaged, so an old lady and her very old mother are in the guest room. Books and software everywhere."

1. The first instance of "old" is used to describe a "lady," and the second instance is used to describe her "mother."
2. Both instances of "old" are used to indicate that the individuals are of advanced age.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=old%3:00:02::** - This sense is defined as "having lived for a relatively long time or attained a specific age." The examples given are "his mother is very old; a ripe old age." This matches the context where "old lady" and "her very old mother" are mentioned, indicating they are of advanced age.

2. Other senses do not fit as well:
   - **old%3:00:01::** refers to something being of long duration or not new, which doesn't directly apply to the age of persons.
   - **old%5:00:00:familiar:00** is used for emphasis to indicate something or someone is very familiar, which is not the primary interpretation here.
   - **old%5:00:00:experienced:00** refers to being skilled through long experience, which is not directly relevant to the context of age.
   - **old%5:00:03:past:00** and other senses relate to prior times, being genuine, early stages of development, or preceding something else, none of which directly apply to describing the age of individuals.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense for "old" is the first one, which corresponds to being of advanced age.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "mother" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is about a natural disaster or an accident where a building is severely damaged, and an old lady and her very old mother are staying in a guest room. The context suggests a familial relationship.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. sense_key=mother%1:18:00::**: This sense refers to a woman who has given birth to a child. The example "the mother of three children" supports a familial context.
   - **2. sense_key=mother%1:27:00::**: This refers to a substance related to fermentation, which is unrelated to the given context.
   - **3. sense_key=mother%1:18:02::**: This is a term of address for an elderly woman. While it could potentially fit in some contexts involving older women, the context here specifies a familial relationship.
   - **4. sense_key=mother%1:18:01::**: This refers to a term of address for a mother superior, which is not relevant to the given context.
   - **5. sense_key=mother%1:09:00::**: This sense is about a condition inspiring an activity or situation, which doesn't fit the context.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates a familial relationship between "an old lady" and "her very old mother."
   - Sense 1 ("a woman who has given birth to a child") fits this context as it describes a familial relationship.
   - The other senses either don't fit the context or are less directly related to the described situation.

4. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "mother" in the given context is the first sense, which is about a female parent.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "Books" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context is: "I could see the flames from San Francisco from my house across the bay. It's hard to believe this really is happening. 1:11 a.m. RD: Building on the corner severely damaged, so an old lady and her very old mother are in the guest room. <t>Books</t> and software everywhere. This being typed in a standing position."

The sentence mentions "Books and software everywhere" in a context that implies a physical location, likely a room or a space that is being described in the midst of some event or situation. The presence of "software" alongside "Books" suggests that the context is about physical or tangible items that are scattered or present in the described location.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A written work or composition that has been published.
2. Physical objects consisting of a number of pages bound together.
3. A compilation of known facts.
4. A written version of a play or dramatic composition.
5. A record in which commercial accounts are recorded.
6. A collection of playing cards.
7. A collection of rules or prescribed standards.
8. The sacred writings of Islam.
9. The sacred writings of the Christian religions.
10. A major division of a long written composition.
11. A number of sheets bound together on one edge.

Given the context, "Books" is mentioned alongside "software," indicating that both are physical or tangible items present in the described scene. The most relevant sense here is related to physical objects.

Sense 2: "physical objects consisting of a number of pages bound together" fits this context perfectly as it directly refers to the physical nature of the books being described.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "Books" in the given context is sense 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "typed" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information.

The context is: "It's hard to believe this really is happening. 1:11 a.m. RD: Building on the corner severely damaged, so an old lady and her very old mother are in the guest room. Books and software everywhere. This being typed in a standing position. 1:20 a.m."

The target surface form is "typed," and we have two candidate senses to consider:

1. The first sense is defined as "write by means of a keyboard with types" with the synonym "typewrite" and examples like "type the acceptance letter, please."
2. The second sense is defined as "identify as belonging to a certain type" with the synonym "typecast" and examples like "Such people can practically be typed."

Given the context, the sentence "This being typed in a standing position" implies that someone is writing or inputting text using a keyboard, likely due to the circumstances described (being in a guest room with limited space, books, and software everywhere). The action of typing is being performed in a standing position, which suggests the use of a keyboard.

The first sense, related to writing by means of a keyboard, fits this context perfectly. The action described is about inputting text, likely on a computer or a similar device, given the mention of "software everywhere."

The second sense, related to identifying or categorizing something or someone as belonging to a certain type, does not fit the context as well. There's no indication that the subject is being categorized or identified as a certain type; instead, the focus is on the action being performed.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "typed" in this context is the first one, which corresponds to sense_index = 1.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "position" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context is: "It's hard to believe this really is happening. 1:11 a.m. RD: Building on the corner severely damaged, so an old lady and her very old mother are in the guest room. Books and software everywhere. This being typed in a standing position. 1:20 a.m."

The target word is "position," and it appears in the phrase "in a standing position." This phrase indicates a physical posture or the arrangement of the body.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The particular portion of space occupied by something - This doesn't directly relate to the physical posture.
2. A point occupied by troops for tactical reasons - This is related to a military context, not relevant here.
3. A way of regarding situations or topics etc. - This is more about perspective or viewpoint, not physical posture.
4. The arrangement of the body and its limbs - This directly relates to the physical posture or attitude, matching the context of "standing position."
5. The relative position or standing of things or especially persons in a society - This is about status, not directly related to physical posture.
6. A job in an organization - This refers to a professional or occupational role, not relevant here.
7. The spatial property of a place where or way in which something is situated - While related to spatial arrangement, it's broader than the specific physical posture.
8. The appropriate or customary location - This is more about the location of objects or people, not specifically about posture.
9. The role assigned to an individual player in team sports - This is specific to sports, not relevant to the context.
10. The act of putting something in a certain place - This is about the action of placement, not the state of being in a certain posture.
11. A condition or position in which you find yourself - This is more about a situation or circumstance, not directly about physical posture.
12. A rationalized mental attitude - This is about a mental stance or attitude, not physical posture.
13. An opinion that is held in opposition to another in an argument or dispute - This refers to a viewpoint in a debate, not relevant here.
14. An item on a list or in a sequence - This is about ranking or order, not related to physical posture.
15. The post or function properly or customarily occupied or served by another - This is about substitution or replacement, not relevant.
16. The act of positing; an assumption taken as a postulate or axiom - This is more about logical or philosophical assumptions, not related to the context.

Given the context "in a standing position," the most relevant sense is related to the physical arrangement or posture of the body, which is directly addressed by sense 4: "the arrangement of the body and its limbs."

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "position" in this context is 4.

The sentence is: "Didn't feel a thing, but noticed some strange bird behavior."

The context is about being astride the San Andreas Fault, which is known for earthquakes, and the speaker mentions not feeling anything but observing unusual bird behavior. This implies the sentence is discussing the absence of a physical sensation that one might expect in such a situation, like the shaking of an earthquake.

4. Be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state. (e.g., "My cold is gone--I feel fine today; She felt tired after the long hike")
5. Have a feeling or perception about oneself in reaction to someone's behavior or attitude. (e.g., "She felt small and insignificant; You make me feel naked")

11. Find by testing or cautious exploration. (e.g., "He felt his way around the dark room")
12. Produce a certain impression. (e.g., "It feels nice to be home again")
13. Pass one's hands over the sexual organs of. (e.g., "He felt the girl in the movie theater")

The sentence implies that the speaker was expecting to feel the earthquake (a physical sensation) but didn't. The most relevant sense here is related to perceiving or being conscious of a physical sensation.

Senses 3 ("perceive by a physical sensation") and 4 ("be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state") are the closest in meaning to the context. However, sense 3 is more directly related to perceiving a specific physical sensation (like feeling the wind or an object touching the skin), whereas sense 4 is broader and includes being conscious of a physical state.

Given the context that the speaker is talking about not feeling an earthquake, the best fit is sense 3, as it directly relates to perceiving (or not perceiving) a physical sensation.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "thing" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "Didn't feel a thing, but noticed some strange bird behavior."

Here, the word "thing" is used in the context of not feeling something, specifically in relation to an earthquake or a seismic event, as indicated by the mention of the "San Andreas Fault." The speaker is indicating that they did not feel the earthquake.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A special situation - This doesn't directly fit the context of not feeling something physical like an earthquake.
2. An action - The context doesn't imply an action.
3. A special abstraction - This is too vague for the context.
4. An artifact - The context doesn't refer to an object.
5. An event - While an earthquake is an event, the phrase "didn't feel a thing" suggests a more general or abstract reference.
6. A vaguely specified concern - This doesn't directly fit the context of physical sensation.
7. A statement regarded as an object - This doesn't fit the context.
8. An entity that is not named specifically - This could potentially fit, as "thing" refers to the earthquake or its effects without directly naming it.
9. Any attribute or quality considered as having its own existence - This doesn't directly fit the context.
10. A special objective - The context doesn't imply a goal or objective.
11. A persistent illogical feeling of desire or aversion - This doesn't fit the context.
12. A separate and self-contained entity - While this is a broad definition, it's less specific to the context than another option.

The phrase "didn't feel a thing" is commonly used to indicate not experiencing any sensation or effect, often in the context of something potentially impactful or disturbing happening, like an earthquake. The closest sense here is "an entity that is not named specifically" (sense_index = 8), as it refers to the earthquake or its immediate effects without directly naming it.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "noticed" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is: "Books and software everywhere. This being typed in a standing position. 1:20 a.m. DGAULT: Bolinas -- astride the San Andreas Fault. Didn't feel a thing, but noticed some strange bird behavior. Duck swarms."

The sentence implies that the speaker was aware of or observed something unusual about the bird behavior before or during an event (likely an earthquake given the mention of the San Andreas Fault).

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" with synonyms like "detect, observe, find, discover." The example given is "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water." This sense fits the context because the speaker is indicating they became aware of or detected the strange bird behavior.

2. The second sense is "notice or perceive" with synonyms "mark, note." The example is "She noted that someone was following her." This sense also could fit because it involves becoming aware of something.

3. The third sense involves "make or write a comment on" and is exemplified by "he commented the paper of his colleague." This doesn't fit the context because there's no indication the speaker is commenting on or discussing the bird behavior with someone else.

4. The fourth sense is "express recognition of the presence or existence of, or acquaintance with" and is related to acknowledging someone or something. The example given is "He never acknowledges his colleagues when they run into him in the hallway." This doesn't fit the context because the speaker isn't expressing recognition or acknowledgement to someone else; they're simply stating they observed something.

Given the context and the definitions, the first sense ("discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of") is the most appropriate. The speaker is indicating they detected or observed the strange bird behavior. The synonym "observe" is particularly relevant here as it aligns with the act of noticing something.

The second sense ("notice or perceive") is very close in meaning, but given the context and the examples, the first sense is slightly more fitting because "detect" and "observe" imply a slightly more active or intentional process of noticing, which suits the context of observing unusual bird behavior.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "noticed" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "strange" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is: "Books and software everywhere. This being typed in a standing position. 1:20 a.m. DGAULT: Bolinas -- astride the San Andreas Fault. Didn't feel a thing, but noticed some strange bird behavior. Duck swarms."

1. The first sense defines "strange" as being "definitely out of the ordinary and unexpected; slightly odd or even a bit weird." The synonyms given are "unusual," and an example is "a strange exaltation that was indefinable; a strange fantastical mind." The context here involves "strange bird behavior," which implies behavior that is out of the ordinary or unexpected, possibly indicating that the birds are acting in an unusual or weird manner due to some external factor, such as an earthquake.

2. The second sense defines "strange" as "not known before," with synonyms being "unknown," and examples include "used many strange words; saw many strange faces in the crowd." This sense doesn't directly fit the context because the strangeness of the bird behavior isn't about being unknown but rather about being unusual or out of the ordinary.

3. The third sense relates to something being "characteristic of another place or part of the world," with "foreign" as a synonym. The context doesn't suggest that the bird behavior is strange because it's characteristic of another geographical area.

Given the context, the bird behavior is described as "strange" likely because it's unusual or out of the ordinary, possibly in relation to the occurrence of an earthquake (implied by the mention of the San Andreas Fault). The first sense fits this interpretation best as it describes something being out of the ordinary or unexpected.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "strange" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "bird" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is about a person typing at 1:20 a.m. in Bolinas, which is astride the San Andreas Fault, and they mention not feeling an earthquake but noticing some strange "bird behavior" followed by "Duck swarms." This context suggests that the subject matter is related to the behavior of birds or animals during an earthquake or some unusual event.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. sense_key=bird%1:05:00::**: This definition refers to warm-blooded egg-laying vertebrates characterized by feathers and forelimbs modified as wings. The context mentions "bird behavior" and "Duck swarms," which directly relates to birds as living creatures.
   - **2. sense_key=bird%1:13:00::**: This refers to the flesh of a bird or fowl used as food. There's no mention of food or consuming birds in the context.
   - **3. sense_key=bird%1:18:00::**: This is an informal term for a (young) woman. The context doesn't refer to a person or gender; it seems to be discussing animals or natural phenomena.
   - **4. sense_key=bird%1:10:00::**: This refers to a cry or noise made to express displeasure or contempt. The context doesn't indicate any expression of displeasure or contempt through noise.
   - **5. sense_key=bird%1:06:01::**: This refers to badminton equipment. The context doesn't relate to sports or games.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context directly talks about "bird behavior" and mentions "Duck swarms," which aligns perfectly with the first definition: warm-blooded egg-laying vertebrates characterized by feathers and forelimbs modified as wings.
   - The other definitions do not fit the context as they relate to different subjects (food, a person, a noise, or sports equipment).

4. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "bird" in the given context is the first one, which corresponds to the definition of birds as living creatures.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "behavior" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence mentions "noticed some strange bird behavior. Duck swarms." This indicates that the subject is the actions or reactions of birds (ducks) under certain circumstances, likely related to an earthquake or some disturbance since it's near the San Andreas Fault.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. manner of acting or controlling yourself**: This sense is more related to human behavior and self-control, which doesn't directly apply to birds or animals.
   - **2. the action or reaction of something (as a machine or substance) under specified circumstances**: This definition is broad and can include the behavior of animals or non-human entities under certain conditions. The example given ("the behavior of small particles can be studied in experiments") shows it can apply to non-human subjects.
   - **3. (behavioral attributes) the way a person behaves toward other people**: This is focused on interpersonal behavior, typically of humans, and doesn't directly apply to animals or their actions.
   - **4. (psychology) the aggregate of the responses or reactions or movements made by an organism in any situation**: This definition is relevant to the behavior of organisms, including animals, in response to their environment or situations.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context is about observing the behavior of birds (ducks swarming), which is an action or reaction of animals under certain circumstances.
   - Senses 2 and 4 are potentially relevant because they can apply to non-human entities or organisms.
   - Sense 4 directly relates to the psychological definition that encompasses the behavior of organisms, which includes birds.
   - Sense 2 is also applicable as it talks about the reaction of something under specified circumstances, which can include animals.

4. **Decision**:
   - Between senses 2 and 4, sense 4 is more specific to organisms and their reactions, making it a more precise fit for describing bird behavior.
   - The context directly involves observing the behavior (swarming) of ducks, which aligns with the definition of sense 4.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "behavior" in the given context is **{"sense_index": 4}**.

raw_output:
To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "swarms" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information.

The context is: "Didn't feel a thing, but noticed some strange bird behavior. Duck swarms."

1. The subject is "Duck swarms," indicating that "swarms" refers to a group or collection of ducks.
2. The context is about observing unusual bird behavior, specifically mentioning "Duck swarms."
3. The two candidate senses for "swarm" are:
   - Sense 1: A moving crowd, with synonyms like "drove" and "horde."
   - Sense 2: A group of many things in the air or on the ground, with a synonym "cloud" and examples like "a swarm of insects obscured the light" and "clouds of blossoms."

Given that "swarms" is associated with "ducks" and is being discussed in the context of bird behavior, we need to decide which sense fits best.

- Sense 1 refers to a "moving crowd," which could potentially apply to a group of ducks moving together. The synonyms "drove" and "horde" both suggest a large group, which aligns with the idea of multiple ducks.
- Sense 2 talks about "a group of many things in the air or on the ground." The example "a swarm of insects obscured the light" suggests that "swarm" can be used for a large number of entities, not just insects, and it implies a potentially chaotic or dense grouping.

Both senses could potentially apply, but given that "swarm" is often used to describe a large group of animals (like insects or birds) that are moving or gathered together, and considering the context is about bird behavior, we need to choose the most appropriate.

The term "swarm" is commonly used for insects (like bees) but can also be used for birds when they are behaving in a similar manner (e.g., a large group moving together). The key here is understanding that "swarm" is being used to describe a collective behavior of ducks.

Since "swarm" is indexed as follows in WordNet (based on the provided candidate senses):
1. swarm%1:14:01:: (a moving crowd)
2. swarm%1:14:00:: (a group of many things in the air or on the ground)

And given that the context involves birds (ducks) and their behavior, which could be interpreted as either a moving crowd or a group of many things, we need to directly apply the given definitions and examples.

The first sense (1:14:01) emphasizes a "moving crowd," which is plausible for ducks behaving in a certain manner. The second sense (1:14:00) is more general, referring to "a group of many things in the air or on the ground," which also could apply.

However, "swarm" is more typically associated with the second sense when considering its common usage with insects and, by extension, could apply to other animals like birds when describing a large group.

Therefore, the best choice, based on the context and the provided candidate senses, is the second sense, which corresponds to "sense_index": 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "felt" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context is: "Bolinas -- astride the San Andreas Fault. Didn't feel a thing, but noticed some strange bird behavior. Duck swarms. 3:25 a.m. SAMURAI: I just felt another aftershock a few seconds ago. I'm just numb."

The target sentence is: "I just felt another aftershock a few seconds ago."

Here, "felt" is used in the context of experiencing an earthquake aftershock. The speaker is describing a physical sensation related to an earthquake.

Let's examine the candidate senses:
