Target lemma: superior
Target surface form: superior
Context:
One of the reasons American students do so poorly in math tests, as compared with British, French, German or Japanese students, is the influence of the "New Math "on American textbooks and teaching methods. Anyone who wants to appreciate just how bizarre this situation is -- with students who ca not add or subtract "learning "the conceptual basis of mathematical theory -- should read the article by Caleb Nelson (himself a recent math major at Harvard) in the November American Spectator. -- Most important of all, schools should have principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline.

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

The context is discussing the performance of students in schools with certain characteristics, specifically those with principals having a large measure of authority. It states that schools structured in this way produce students with higher morale and "superior" academic performance.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **"of high or superior quality or performance"** - This sense fits well with the context, as "superior academic performance" implies a high quality of performance.
2. **"of or characteristic of high rank or importance"** - While this could potentially fit in some contexts, it doesn't directly relate to "academic performance."
3. **"(sometimes followed by `to') not subject to or influenced by"** - This doesn't directly apply to "academic performance" in this context.
4. **"written or printed above and to one side of another character"** - This is unrelated to the context.
5. **"having an orbit farther from the sun than the Earth's orbit"** - This is astronomically related and doesn't fit the context.
6. **"having a higher rank"** - This is about ranking or hierarchy, not directly related to the quality of "academic performance."
7. **"(often followed by `to') above being affected or influenced by"** - Similar to sense 3, it doesn't directly apply to describing "academic performance."

The context is clearly discussing the quality of academic performance. The term "superior" is used to describe a higher quality or level of performance compared to others. The most relevant definition is the first one: "of high or superior quality or performance," as it directly relates to the quality of "academic performance."

The first sense is indexed as 1.

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

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

The context discusses the performance of students in relation to the structure and governance of schools. It mentions that schools with principals having significant authority over faculty, curriculum, and student discipline tend to produce students with higher morale and superior "academic" performance.

1. The first candidate sense is related to being "associated with academia or an academy." The example given is "the academic curriculum; academic gowns." This sense is relevant because "academic performance" directly relates to how students perform in their studies or academic pursuits.

2. The second sense refers to something being "hypothetical or theoretical and not expected to produce an immediate or practical result," with examples like "an academic discussion; an academic question." While this sense is valid in certain contexts, it doesn't directly relate to the performance of students in a straightforward manner.

3. The third sense is marked by "a narrow focus on or display of learning especially its trivial aspects," with synonyms like "donnish, pedantic." This sense doesn't directly fit the context of discussing overall student performance in a broad sense.

Given the context, the term "academic performance" is most likely referring to how well students are doing in their academic work or studies. This aligns closely with the first sense, which is associated with academia or an academy. The discussion is about the quality of students' work or achievements in an academic setting.

Therefore, the best sense for "academic" in this context is the one related to being associated with academia or an academy.

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

The context discusses the structure and governance of schools, stating that schools with principals having significant authority over faculty, curriculum, and student discipline tend to produce students with higher morale and superior academic performance. It asserts that this is a "fact" and notes that despite its importance, this fact is not often discussed due to the controversy it stirs.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **A piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred.** The context refers to a general truth or observation about the outcomes associated with a particular school governance structure, not just a piece of information about specific circumstances or events.

2. **A statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened.** The text uses "fact" to refer to the outcome of a particular school structure, implying a verified or observed truth. This sense seems plausible because it involves an assertion based on studies and observations.

3. **An event known to have happened or something known to have existed.** The context does not directly refer to a specific event or something known to have existed; instead, it discusses a general pattern or outcome observed across studies.

4. **A concept whose truth can be proved.** While the statement about school structure and outcomes is supported by studies, the text does not imply that the "fact" is a concept whose truth can be mathematically or scientifically proved in an absolute sense.

Given the context, the use of "fact" here refers to a statement or assertion that is supported by evidence (in this case, "Study after study") about the outcomes of schools structured in a certain way. This aligns most closely with sense 2, as it involves verified information about something that is the case (i.e., the positive outcomes associated with a particular school governance structure).

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "fact" in this context is **2**.

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

The sentence is: "This is a fact -- though, in view of all the feathers that are ruffled by this fact, it is not surprising that one hears so little about it."

The phrase "feathers that are ruffled" is an idiom that means to cause annoyance, irritation, or disturbance. The context suggests that the fact mentioned is controversial or provocative, leading to a negative reaction from some people.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Stir up (water) so as to form ripples - Not relevant to the context.
2. Trouble or vex - This sense is close, as it involves causing disturbance, but it's not the most fitting.
3. To walk with a lofty proud gait - Not relevant to the context.
4. Discompose - This sense fits well, as "ruffle some people's feathers" is an idiom that means to cause them to become annoyed or upset.
5. Twitch or flutter - Not directly relevant, though it involves movement, it's not the best fit.
6. Mix so as to make a random order or arrangement - Not relevant to the context.
7. Erect or fluff up - While this involves feathers, it's literal and not the intended meaning in the idiom.
8. Disturb the smoothness of - This could be considered, as it involves causing a disturbance, but it's not as directly related to the idiom as another option.
9. Pleat or gather into a ruffle - Not relevant to the context.

The idiom "ruffle someone's feathers" is directly related to sense 4, "discompose," as it means to cause someone to become annoyed or upset. The example given for this sense, "She has a way of ruffling feathers among her colleagues," closely matches the usage in the provided context.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "ruffled" in the given context is sense 4.

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

The context discusses the structure and governance of schools, highlighting that those with a powerful head, free from outside interference, produce students with higher morale and superior academic performance. The sentence containing the target word is: "This is a fact -- though, in view of all the feathers that are ruffled by this fact, it is not surprising that one hears so little about it."

1. The first sense (fact%1:09:01::) refers to "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred." While this is a plausible definition, the context suggests that "fact" here refers to a more specific assertion or statement about the outcome of a particular school structure.

2. The second sense (fact%1:10:01::) is defined as "a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened." The context supports this sense because "This is a fact" refers back to the statement that schools structured in a certain way produce better academic outcomes, which is an assertion based on studies.

3. The third sense (fact%1:26:01::) refers to "an event known to have happened or something known to have existed." The context doesn't directly support this sense because "fact" here is not describing a specific event but rather a general truth or assertion derived from various studies.

4. The fourth sense (fact%1:09:02::) is "a concept whose truth can be proved," typically in a scientific context. While the statement about school performance could be seen as having a basis in evidence, the term "fact" is used here more to emphasize the truth of the assertion rather than it being a scientifically proven concept.

Given the context and the definitions, the second sense (fact%1:10:01::) is the most appropriate. The word "fact" is used to refer to a statement or assertion ("Schools that are structured in this way produce students with higher morale and superior academic performance") that is supported by verified information (studies).

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "fact" in this context is 2.

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

The sentence is: "This is a fact -- though, in view of all the feathers that are ruffled by this fact, it is not surprising that one hears so little about it."

Here, "one" is used as an indefinite pronoun, referring to people in general. The context is discussing a general fact and its reception.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense refers to "one" as the smallest whole number or a numeral representing this number. The synonyms include "1", "I", "ace", "single", and "unity". The examples given are "he has the one but will need a two and three to go with it" and "they had lunch at one". This sense is related to the numerical value or a specific instance of something being singular, which doesn't fit the usage in the given sentence.

2. The second sense defines "one" as a single person or thing. The example given is "he is the best one" and "this is the one I ordered". This sense is about referring to a specific individual or item out of a group or set.

In the given context, "one" is used to mean people in general or anyone, which aligns more closely with the second sense, as it refers to a single, nonspecific person or entity (in this case, a person hearing about something). However, it's worth noting that the usage here is more pronominal and indefinite.

Given the context and the examples, the best fit for "one" in the sentence is the second sense, as it is referring to a nonspecific person or people in general, akin to saying "a person" or "people."

Thus, the best indexed sense for "one" is the second one.

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

The sentence is: "...though, in view of all the feathers that are ruffled by this fact, it is not surprising that one hears so little about it."

Here, "so" is used to indicate a degree or extent, specifically the degree to which something is discussed or heard about. The phrase "so little" is an idiomatic expression meaning "very little."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **to a very great extent or degree** - This sense fits expressions like "so happy" or "so obvious," which isn't exactly the usage in the given sentence, as "so" is used with "little."

2. **in a manner that facilitates** - This doesn't fit the context as "so" is not describing a manner.

3. **in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied** - This sense is used in contexts where "so" refers back to a condition or manner previously described, which isn't the case here.

4. **to a certain unspecified extent or degree** - This is a plausible sense as it involves the extent or degree, and "so little" indicates a certain (small) extent.

5. **in the same way; also** - This sense is not applicable as "so" is not used to indicate similarity or addition.

6. **in the way indicated** - This doesn't fit as "so" isn't describing a method or way.

7. **(usually followed by `that') to an extent or degree as expressed** - While this involves extent or degree, it's typically followed by "that," which isn't the case here.

8. **subsequently or soon afterward** - This sense is used for indicating a sequence of events or time, not applicable here.

9. **(used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result** - This is a sense used for drawing conclusions, not directly related to the usage in the sentence.

10. **in truth (often tends to intensify)** - This is used for emphasizing the truth of something, not the case here.

Given the context and the examples, the best fit for "so" in "...one hears so little about it" is sense **4: to a certain unspecified extent or degree**, as it correctly captures the usage of "so" in indicating the extent (little) to which something is heard about.

Therefore, the JSON response is: {"sense_index": 4}

Target lemma: publish
Target surface form: publishes
Context:
-- Most important of all, schools should have principals with a large measure of authority over the faculty, the curriculum, and all matters of student discipline. Study after study -- the most recent from the Brookings Institution -- tells us that the best schools are those that are free of outside interference and are governed by a powerful head. With that authority, of course, goes an unambiguous accountability. Schools that are structured in this way produce students with higher morale and superior academic performance. This is a fact -- though, in view of all the feathers that are ruffled by this fact, it is not surprising that one hears so little about it. Mr. Kristol, an American Enterprise Institute fellow, co-edits The Public Interest and <t>publishes</t> The National Interest.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=publish%2:36:01:: | definition=put into print | synonyms=print | examples=The newspaper published the news of the royal couple's divorce; These news should not be printed
2. sense_key=publish%2:32:00:: | definition=prepare and issue for public distribution or sale | synonyms=bring out, put out, issue, release | examples=publish a magazine or newspaper
3. sense_key=publish%2:36:00:: | definition=have (one's written work) issued for publication | synonyms=write | examples=How many books did Georges Simenon write?; She published 25 books during her long career

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

The context is about Mr. Kristol's roles and activities, particularly mentioning that he "co-edits The Public Interest and publishes The National Interest." This indicates that "publishes" is related to his role in managing or being responsible for the production or distribution of "The National Interest," likely a publication.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "put into print" with synonyms like "print" and examples such as "The newspaper published the news of the royal couple's divorce." While this sense is related to the act of printing or publishing news, it doesn't directly relate to managing a publication.

2. The second sense is "prepare and issue for public distribution or sale" with synonyms like "bring out," "put out," "issue," and "release." The examples given are "publish a magazine or newspaper." This sense fits well with the context, as "publishes The National Interest" can be understood as managing or being responsible for the publication of "The National Interest," likely a magazine or journal.

3. The third sense is defined as "have (one's written work) issued for publication" with synonyms like "write." The examples provided are "How many books did Georges Simenon write?" and "She published 25 books during her long career." This sense focuses on the act of having one's written work published, which doesn't directly apply to the context of managing a publication.

Given the context that Mr. Kristol "co-edits The Public Interest and publishes The National Interest," the most appropriate interpretation is that he is responsible for the publication of "The National Interest," similar to how one might manage or be responsible for a magazine or newspaper. This aligns with the second sense, "prepare and issue for public distribution or sale."

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "publishes" in this context is the second sense.

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence provided is "That's what the man had said. Haney peered doubtfully at his drinking companion through bleary, tear-filled eyes." Here, "man" refers to an individual who is having a conversation or interaction with Haney, likely in a setting where they are drinking together.

2. **Understanding the Senses**:
   - **1. an adult person who is male**: Refers to an adult male as opposed to a woman.
   - **2. someone who serves in the armed forces**: Refers to a member of the military.
   - **3. the generic use of the word to refer to any human being**: Used to refer to any human, not specifying gender.
   - **4. any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae**: Refers to humans in a biological or anthropological sense.
   - **5. a male subordinate**: Refers to a man in a subordinate role.
   - **6. an adult male person who has a manly character**: Describes a man with traditionally masculine qualities.
   - **7. a manservant who acts as a personal attendant**: Refers to a valet or gentleman's gentleman.
   - **8. a male person who plays a significant role in a woman's life**: Refers to a husband, lover, or boyfriend.
   - **9. one of the British Isles**: Refers to the Isle of Man.
   - **10. game equipment**: Refers to pieces used in board games.
   - **11. all of the living human inhabitants of the earth**: Refers to humanity or mankind as a whole.

3. **Analyzing the Context for Sense Disambiguation**:
   - The context does not suggest a military or biological/anthropological discussion, so senses 2, 4, and 11 are less likely.
   - There's no indication of a board game, so sense 10 is not applicable.
   - The Isle of Man (sense 9) is not relevant to the context.
   - The context doesn't explicitly describe the man's character (sense 6), his role as a subordinate (sense 5), or his relationship to a woman (sense 8).
   - The man is described as having said something and is Haney's drinking companion, suggesting an adult male (sense 1).

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The most straightforward interpretation is that "man" refers to an adult male person (sense 1), as it directly relates to the context of an individual interacting with Haney.
   - Sense 3 (generic use) could be considered, but given that "man" is used to refer to a specific individual and not humanity in general, and there's a clear indication of gender (male), sense 1 is more appropriate.

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "man" in the given context is **1**.

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

The sentence is: "He had no ready answer, as much from surprise as from the fit of coughing."

Here, "had" is used to indicate the possession or availability of something, in this case, a "ready answer." The context suggests that Haney was unable to respond immediately, either due to surprise or because he was overcome with a fit of coughing.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

1. sense_key=have%2:40:00:: | definition=have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense
   - This sense fits the context as "had" is used to indicate Haney's possession or availability of a "ready answer," which is an abstract sense.

2. Other senses like "have as a feature," "go through (mental or physical states or experiences)," "cause to move," "serve oneself to," "have a personal or business relationship," "organize or be responsible for," "have left," "be confronted with," "undergo," "suffer from; be ill with," "cause to do," "receive willingly," "get something," "achieve a point or goal," "cause to be born," and "have sex with" do not fit the context as well as the first sense.

Given the context and the examples provided, the best fit for "had" in the sentence is the sense that indicates possession or having something in an abstract sense.

The best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 1}

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence describes a scene where Haney is being spoken to by a man and is expected to respond. However, Haney is unable to provide a response due to being surprised and having a fit of coughing. The context suggests that an "answer" is expected as a reaction to a statement or question made by the man.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. a statement made to reply to a question or request or criticism or accusation**: This involves a verbal or written response to something.
   - **2. a statement that solves a problem or explains how to solve the problem**: This is more about providing a solution to a problem.
   - **3. the speech act of replying to a question**: This focuses on the act of responding verbally.
   - **4. the principal pleading by the defendant in response to plaintiff's complaint**: This is a legal context, not relevant to the given scenario.
   - **5. a nonverbal reaction**: This involves reacting without words.

3. **Analyzing the Context and Candidate Senses**:
   - The context implies that Haney is expected to verbally respond to what the man has said. The fact that he is described as having "no ready answer" and being hindered by a fit of coughing suggests that the "answer" is expected to be a verbal response.
   - Sense 1 and Sense 3 both relate to verbal responses. Sense 1 emphasizes the content of the response, while Sense 3 focuses on the act of responding.
   - The context doesn't directly indicate that Haney is being asked a question; it's more about the man's statement and Haney's expected response. However, the expectation of a response aligns with the idea of replying to something said.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given that "answer" here refers to a verbal or spoken response to a statement, and considering the context where Haney is expected to respond verbally but is unable to, **Sense 1 (a statement made to reply to a question or request or criticism or accusation)** seems most appropriate. It aligns with the idea of providing a verbal response to what was said.

5. **Returning the Answer in the Required Format**:
   - The index for Sense 1 is 1.

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

The sentence is: "He had no ready answer, as much from surprise as from the fit of coughing."

1. The first sense is defined as "the astonishment you feel when something totally unexpected happens to you." This definition aligns with the emotional or psychological state caused by an unexpected event. The context suggests that Haney is experiencing a strong emotional reaction due to what the man had said, which is unexpected or surprising to him.

2. The second sense refers to "a sudden unexpected event." While this could be related to the cause of Haney's emotional state, the sentence directly mentions "surprise" as a reason for his lack of a ready answer, indicating it's the feeling or state he's in, rather than the event itself.

3. The third sense is "the act of surprising someone," with a synonym being "surprisal." This definition implies an action taken to surprise someone else. The context, however, focuses on Haney's reaction rather than an action he or someone else is taking.

Given the context, Haney's "surprise" is best described as his emotional or psychological state in response to what was said. The sentence directly references his internal state ("surprise") as a reason for his inability to respond, alongside the physical state caused by a "fit of coughing." Thus, the most appropriate definition is the first one, which describes the feeling of astonishment due to something unexpected.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence describes a scene where Haney is experiencing a reaction, described as a "fit of coughing," after hearing something surprising or unsettling from a man. The context suggests that "fit" refers to a sudden episode or attack of coughing.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. sense_key=fit%1:26:01::**: This sense refers to "a display of bad temper" with synonyms like tantrum, scene, and conniption. While it involves an emotional outburst, the context specifically mentions a "fit of coughing," which doesn't directly relate to a display of bad temper.
   - **2. sense_key=fit%1:26:00::**: This sense is defined as "a sudden uncontrollable attack" with synonyms like paroxysm and convulsion. The example given, "a fit of coughing," directly matches the context provided in the sentence.
   - **3. sense_key=fit%1:07:00::**: This refers to "the manner in which something fits," which is unrelated to the context of experiencing a sudden episode of coughing.
   - **4. sense_key=fit%1:04:00::**: This sense describes "a sudden flurry of activity" with a synonym "burst." While it involves a sudden onset, the specific example of "a fit of coughing" is more closely related to an uncontrollable attack or episode rather than just any flurry of activity.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context directly matches with **2. sense_key=fit%1:26:00::** because it specifically mentions "a fit of coughing," which is given as an example for this sense. The definition "a sudden uncontrollable attack" aligns with the context of experiencing a coughing episode.

4. **Returning the Answer**:
   - The correct sense index is **2**.

Therefore, the JSON object with the best indexed sense is: {"sense_index": 2}

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

The context is: "Was the man drunk or crazy or both?" This sentence is questioning the state of a man after he has been drinking heavily with the narrator, Haney. The concern here is about the man's mental state or behavior, specifically whether his actions or words are a result of being insane or not.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Affected with madness or insanity**: This sense implies that the person is insane or has lost their mental faculties. The context suggests that Haney is questioning whether the man's statements or behavior are a result of insanity, which aligns with this sense.

2. **Foolish; totally unsound**: This sense refers to something or someone being impractical or not sensible. While it could apply to a person's behavior, the context here is more about the state of the person rather than the sensibility of an idea or action.

3. **Possessed by inordinate excitement**: This sense implies a state of high excitement. The context doesn't directly suggest that the man is excited; rather, it's questioning his state due to drinking.

4. **Bizarre or fantastic**: This sense is about something being strange or unusual. Again, the context is more focused on the man's state of mind rather than describing something as bizarre.

5. **Intensely enthusiastic about or preoccupied with**: This sense is about having a strong enthusiasm or preoccupation. The context doesn't indicate that the man is enthusiastic about something; it's more about his overall state.

Given the context, the most relevant interpretation of "crazy" is related to being "affected with madness or insanity" because Haney is questioning whether the man's behavior or statements are due to insanity or drunkenness. This directly corresponds to the first candidate sense.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "crazy" in this context is: {"sense_index": 1}

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

The context is: "But his new-found buddy had matched him drink for drink until he lost count, and the man's eyes were still clear."

Here, "matched" is used in the context of consuming drinks in equal quantity or pace with someone else. The phrase "drink for drink" suggests a sense of equivalence or parity in the action of drinking.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense suggests being compatible or similar, which doesn't directly apply to the action of drinking.
2. The second sense involves providing funds complementary to something, which is not relevant to the context.
3. The third sense involves bringing two objects, ideas, or people together, which could be considered but doesn't directly imply the action described.
4. The fourth sense is about being equal to in quality or ability, which is close but not directly related to the action of matching someone drink for drink.
5. The fifth sense is about making things correspond or harmonize, which is somewhat relevant but not the best fit.
6. The sixth sense involves satisfying or fulfilling something, not directly related to the context.
7. The seventh sense is about giving or joining in marriage, which is not relevant.
8. The eighth sense involves setting into opposition or rivalry, which could be considered in a broad sense of competing in drinking.
9. The ninth sense is about being equal or harmonizing, which is relevant.
10. The tenth sense involves making things equal or uniform, which is also relevant.

The action described involves two individuals consuming drinks at a comparable rate or quantity, suggesting a sense of equality or parity in their drinking. The closest sense that captures this idea is the tenth sense, which involves making things equal or uniform. The verb "matched" here implies that the buddy made his drinking equal to Haney's, drink for drink.

Therefore, the best sense for "matched" in this context is related to making equal or uniform, which corresponds to sense index 10.

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

The context is: "That's what the man had said. Haney peered doubtfully at his drinking companion through bleary, tear-filled eyes. He had no ready answer, as much from surprise as from the fit of coughing. Was the man drunk or crazy or both? But his new-found buddy had matched him drink for drink until he lost count, and the man's eyes were still clear. The guy is off his rocker, Haney thought to himself, and looked away from those eyes."

The phrase "matched him drink for drink" is crucial. It implies that Haney and his companion were consuming alcoholic beverages in equal amounts, turn by turn.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=drink%1:13:04::** - "a single serving of a beverage" - The phrase "drink for drink" fits this sense well, as it implies matching servings of a beverage, likely alcoholic.

2. **sense_key=drink%1:04:00::** - "the act of drinking alcoholic beverages to excess" - While the context involves drinking alcoholic beverages, "drink for drink" doesn't directly imply excess.

3. **sense_key=drink%1:13:00::** - "any liquid suitable for drinking" - This is a broad category that includes alcoholic beverages but is not limited to them.

4. **sense_key=drink%1:17:00::** - "any large deep body of water" - This sense is unrelated to the context.

5. **sense_key=drink%1:04:01::** - "the act of swallowing" - While related to the act of consuming a drink, "drink for drink" refers more to servings or instances of drinking rather than the act of swallowing itself.

Given the context and the phrase "drink for drink," the most appropriate sense is related to servings or instances of drinking alcoholic beverages. The first sense, "a single serving of a beverage," fits this context well because "drink for drink" implies matching servings.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "drink" in this context is **1**.

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

The sentence is: "Haney peered doubtfully at his drinking companion through bleary, tear-filled eyes... his new-found buddy had matched him drink for drink until he lost count, and the man's eyes were still clear."

The phrase "lost count" is an idiomatic expression that means to fail to keep track of something, in this case, the number of drinks consumed. This expression is related to the idea of failing to maintain or keep track of something.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense. (e.g., "She lost her purse when she left it unattended on her seat")
   - This sense fits the context of "lost count" as it involves failing to maintain or keep track of the count.

2. Fail to win.
   - This sense doesn't fit the context as there's no competition or winning/losing scenario described.

3. Suffer the loss of a person through death or removal.
   - This sense is not relevant as there's no mention of losing a person.

4. Place (something) where one cannot find it again.
   - This sense is about misplacing something, which doesn't directly relate to "lost count."

5. Miss from one's possessions; lose sight of.
   - While related to losing something, it's more about losing sight or possession, not directly applicable to "lost count."

6. Allow to go out of sight.
   - This involves losing track of someone or something visually, not directly related to the context.

7. Fail to make money in a business; make a loss or fail to profit.
   - This is about financial loss, not relevant to the context.

8. Fail to get or obtain.
   - This sense is about missing an opportunity, not directly related to "lost count."

9. Retreat.
   - This involves moving back or falling behind, not directly related to the context.

10. Fail to perceive or to catch with the senses or the mind.
    - This is about missing something perceptually or cognitively, which is somewhat related but not the best fit for "lost count."

11. Be set at a disadvantage.
    - This involves suffering in some way, not directly related to the context of "lost count."

The expression "lost count" best aligns with sense 1: "fail to keep or to maintain; cease to have, either physically or in an abstract sense." This is because "lost count" means failing to maintain the count or track of the number of drinks.

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

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

The context is: "Haney peered doubtfully at his drinking companion... until he lost count, and the man's eyes were still clear."

1. The first sense is defined as "the total number counted" with an example of "a blood count." While this sense refers to a count or total, the phrase "lost count" doesn't directly fit this definition as it implies the act of counting rather than the result.

2. The second sense is "the act of counting; reciting numbers in ascending order." The synonyms provided are "counting, numeration, enumeration, reckoning, tally," and an example is "the counting continued for several hours." The phrase "lost count" aligns well with this sense because it implies that the act of counting or keeping track was lost or failed.

3. The third sense refers to "a nobleman (in various countries) having rank equal to a British earl." This sense is unrelated to the context provided, which involves drinking and an informal interaction between two individuals, not a title or nobility.

Given the context, "lost count" is an idiom that means to fail to keep track of something, often due to its complexity or because it has become too numerous or confusing. This aligns with the second sense, which involves the act of counting.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "count" in the given context is the second sense.
