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

The sentence is: "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual."

1. The first sense suggests "same in identity." The context implies that the bar is the same one the person was in previously, not just similar or comparable. This is about referring to the identical bar, not a different one that is similar.

2. The second sense implies "closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree." While this could potentially fit in some contexts where "same" is used to describe similarity rather than identity, the context here suggests the bar is the one the person was in before, not just a similar bar.

3. The third sense is about being "equal in amount or value," which doesn't directly apply to the context of identifying a specific bar.

4. The fourth sense suggests "unchanged in character or nature." While this could be a possible interpretation, the primary focus here is on identifying the bar as the same one from before, rather than commenting on its character or nature remaining unchanged.

Given the context, the most appropriate interpretation is that "same" refers to the bar being the identical one mentioned or implied previously, not just similar or unchanged. Thus, the best sense is the one that corresponds to "same in identity."

The sense that corresponds to this interpretation is the first one.

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

The context is: "It was the same <t>bar</t>, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual. He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes."

From the context, we understand that the scene is set in a place where people drink, and it mentions sitting at a table and being near "lushes" (a slang term for drunkards or heavy drinkers), which suggests an environment related to the consumption of alcoholic beverages.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A room or establishment where alcoholic drinks are served over a counter.
2. A counter where you can obtain food or drink.
3. A rigid piece of metal or wood; usually used as a fastening or obstruction or weapon.
4. Musical notation for a repeating pattern of musical beats.
5. An obstruction (usually metal) placed at the top of a goal.
6. The act of preventing.
7. A unit of pressure equal to a million dynes per square centimeter.
8. A submerged (or partly submerged) ridge in a river or along a shore.
9. The body of individuals qualified to practice law in a particular jurisdiction.
10. A narrow marking of a different color or texture from the background.
11. A block of solid substance (such as soap or wax).
12. A portable .30 caliber automatic rifle.
13. A horizontal rod that serves as a support for gymnasts.
14. A heating element in an electric fire.
15. A railing that encloses the part of the courtroom where the judges and lawyers sit.

Given the context, the most relevant senses are 1 and 2, as they both relate to places or structures associated with serving or obtaining drinks. Sense 1 refers to the establishment itself, while sense 2 refers specifically to the counter where drinks are served.

The sentence mentions "the same bar" and the context of drinking ("drink heavier than usual"), which aligns with both senses 1 and 2. However, the fact that Haney is described as sitting "in the usual corner at the little table" suggests that the term "bar" is being used to refer to the establishment as a whole, rather than just the counter.

Therefore, the best sense is **1**, which corresponds to "a room or establishment where alcoholic drinks are served over a counter."

The response should be: {"sense_index": 1}

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "weeks" appears is: "It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual." The context indicates a passage of time, specifically a count of weeks between two events.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "any period of seven consecutive days" with the example "it rained for a week". This sense is general and refers to any seven-day period.
   - **Sense 2**: "hours or days of work in a calendar week" with the synonym "workweek". This sense is related to the working days or hours within a week.
   - **Sense 3**: "a period of seven consecutive days starting on Sunday" with the synonym "calendar week". This sense specifically refers to a week as defined by the calendar, typically starting on Sunday.

3. **Analyzing the Context for Sense Disambiguation**:
   - The context mentions "two weeks later" without specifying that it refers to working weeks or calendar weeks starting on a particular day. It simply indicates a passage of time.
   - The event is dated relative to a previous event, and the specific day of the week (Saturday night) is mentioned, but this doesn't necessarily tie the week to a specific starting day (like Sunday).

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - **Sense 1** ("any period of seven consecutive days") fits the context well because "two weeks later" simply indicates a passage of two periods of seven days, without any reference to the start day of the week or work hours.
   - **Sense 2** is less likely because the context doesn't discuss work hours or days.
   - **Sense 3** implies a specific start day for the week (Sunday), which isn't directly relevant to the context since the focus is on a general passage of time, not the specific days of the week.

5. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense is **Sense 1** because it generally refers to any seven consecutive days, which fits the context of counting weeks between events without specifying the start day of the week or relating to work hours.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "weeks" in the given context is the first sense.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "excuse" appears is: "It was Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual." Here, "excuse" refers to a reason or justification for doing something, in this case, drinking more than usual on a Saturday night.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "a defense of some offensive behavior or some failure to keep a promise etc." with synonyms like "alibi, exculpation, self-justification". The examples given are "he kept finding excuses to stay; every day he had a new alibi for not getting a job". This sense implies using a reason to justify or defend an action or inaction that might be considered wrong or unacceptable.
   - **Sense 2**: "a note explaining an absence" with the example "he had to get his mother to write an excuse for him". This is more related to a formal or written justification for not being present somewhere, typically used in a school or work context.
   - **Sense 3**: "a poor example" with the synonym "apology" and examples like "it was an apology for a meal; a poor excuse for an automobile". This sense is used to describe something that is not satisfactory or is a bad example of something else.

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context suggests that "excuse" is used to mean a reason that justifies an action (drinking heavier than usual on Saturday night).
   - **Sense 1** fits this context well because it involves justifying or having a reason for an action (drinking more). The action of drinking heavier on a specific night is somewhat defended or justified by it being Saturday night.
   - **Sense 2** doesn't fit as it refers to a written note for absence, which is not relevant here.
   - **Sense 3** also doesn't fit as it implies something being a poor example of something else, which is not the case in the given context.

4. **Conclusion**: The use of "excuse" in the context provided aligns with having a justification or reason for an action (drinking heavier than usual), which matches **Sense 1**.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "excuse" in the given context is the first sense.

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: "He might be very tight, but he knew where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual."

1. The sentence mentions being in a "bar" and drinking "heavier than usual" on a "Saturday night," which implies an environment where alcohol is consumed.
2. The phrase "he might be very tight" suggests that the subject is already intoxicated or at least has been drinking.
3. The context does not imply proposing a toast (sense 3), being spell-bound or paying close attention to something (sense 4), or specifically drinking excessive amounts of alcohol as a characteristic behavior like an alcoholic (sense 5), although it does imply drinking more than usual.

Let's examine the candidate senses:
1. **sense_key=drink%2:34:00::** - "take in liquids" - While this is a possible meaning, the context strongly suggests alcohol consumption.
2. **sense_key=drink%2:34:01::** - "consume alcohol" - This aligns with the context of being in a bar and drinking "heavier than usual."
3. **sense_key=drink%2:34:12::** - "propose a toast to" - There's no indication of toasting or similar actions in the context.
4. **sense_key=drink%2:31:00::** - "be fascinated or spell-bound by" - This doesn't fit the context as it relates to a different usage of "drink" (as in "drink in").
5. **sense_key=drink%2:34:02::** - "drink excessive amounts of alcohol; be an alcoholic" - While it involves alcohol, the context doesn't specifically indicate the subject is an alcoholic; it just mentions drinking "heavier than usual."

Given the context and the information provided, the most appropriate sense is related to consuming alcohol, which is directly supported by the environment described (a bar) and the action (drinking heavier than usual).

The best match is **2. sense_key=drink%2:34:01::** because it directly relates to consuming alcohol, fitting the context of being in a bar and the action described.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a scene where Phil Haney is in a bar on a Saturday night, drinking more than he typically does because it's an occasion that allows for heavier drinking. The text mentions "heavier than usual" and "the usual corner," indicating a comparison to his normal or typical behavior or location.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "usual" is used twice in the passage. The first instance is in the phrase "heavier than usual," indicating that Haney drinks more on this particular night compared to his normal drinking amount. The second instance is in "the usual corner," suggesting that Haney sits in his typical or customary place.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: The definition provided is "occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure." The examples given are "grew the usual vegetables" and "the usual summer heat." This sense aligns with the idea of something being typical or customary, which fits both instances of "usual" in the passage.
   - **Sense 2**: This is defined as "commonly encountered" with a synonym "common." The example is "a common (or familiar) complaint; the usual greeting." While this sense could potentially fit, it leans more towards the idea of something being familiar or common rather than specifically being in accordance with an individual's regular practice or procedure.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - For "heavier than usual," the focus is on Haney's drinking behavior being more than his typical amount, suggesting a comparison to his regular or normal drinking quantity.
   - For "the usual corner," it indicates the corner where Haney typically or customarily sits.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Both instances of "usual" in the passage relate to Haney's typical behavior or choices (drinking amount and sitting location).
   - **Sense 1** directly corresponds to the notion of something happening or being done in accordance with regular practice or procedure, fitting the context of both "heavier than usual" and "the usual corner."

6. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "usual" in the given context is **1**, as it accurately reflects the idea of something being in accordance with Haney's regular practice or typical behavior.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a scene where Phil Haney is in a bar, sitting in his usual corner, drinking bourbon. The context suggests that Haney has a regular habit or routine of being in this bar on Saturday nights and sitting in a particular corner.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "usual" is used to describe Haney's corner in the bar. This implies that it is the corner he commonly or habitually sits in.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: This sense is defined as "occurring or encountered or experienced or observed frequently or in accordance with regular practice or procedure." The example given is "grew the usual vegetables; the usual summer heat." This definition aligns with the idea of something happening or being done regularly.
   - **Sense 2**: This sense is defined as "commonly encountered" with a synonym "common" and an example "a common (or familiar) complaint; the usual greeting." This implies something that is frequently met or experienced.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context indicates that Haney sits in the "usual corner," suggesting it is his regular or habitual place. This aligns with the idea of something being in accordance with regular practice or procedure.
   - Both senses seem plausible because sitting in the "usual corner" could mean it's either his common or habitual place (Sense 1) or simply a place he commonly sits in (Sense 2).

5. **Making a Decision**:
   - Sense 1 emphasizes the aspect of regularity or frequency in accordance with a practice or procedure, which fits well with the context of Haney having a regular routine or habit of sitting in a particular corner.
   - The use of "usual" to describe both his drinking habits ("drink heavier than usual") and his seating ("the usual corner") in the passage suggests a pattern of behavior or routine, supporting Sense 1.

6. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context and the definitions, **Sense 1** is the most appropriate. It correctly captures the idea that Haney's action (sitting in the corner) is part of his regular or habitual behavior.

7. **Returning the Answer in the Required Format**:
   - The first sense is indexed as 1.

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

The context describes a scene where Phil Haney is sitting in a bar, in a corner at a "little table," drinking bourbon. The description focuses on the setting of a bar on a Saturday night, where Haney is sitting away from other patrons.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A set of data arranged in rows and columns - This sense doesn't fit the context as there's no mention of data or a tabular arrangement.
2. A piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs - This is a plausible sense as it describes a common piece of furniture that could be found in various settings, including bars.
3. A piece of furniture with tableware for a meal laid out on it - This sense typically refers to a table set for dining, which is not the primary context here since the scene is set in a bar and not a dining setting.
4. Flat tableland with steep edges - This sense is unrelated to the context as it describes a geographical feature.
5. A company of people assembled at a table for a meal or game - The context doesn't indicate that the table is surrounded by people for a meal or game; Haney is actually sitting away from others.
6. Food or meals in general - This sense doesn't directly relate to the physical object described in the context.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is the second one: "a piece of furniture having a smooth flat top that is usually supported by one or more vertical legs." The description of Haney sitting at a "little table" in a bar fits this definition. The table is not described as being set for a meal (ruling out sense 3), nor is it related to data (sense 1), a geographical feature (sense 4), a group of people (sense 5), or food in general (sense 6).

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "table" in this context is the one corresponding to the definition of a piece of furniture.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes Phil Haney sitting in a bar, trying to distance himself from other patrons he characterizes as "talkative, friendly lushes." The context suggests that Haney is avoiding people who are excessively conversational or sociable.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "talkative" refers to someone who talks a lot. The task is to identify the specific sense of "talkative" being used here.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "full of trivial conversation" with synonyms like "chatty, gabby, garrulous, loquacious, talky." The example given is "kept from her housework by gabby neighbors," indicating that the conversation is likely frivolous or annoying.
   - **Sense 2**: "unwisely talking too much" with synonyms like "bigmouthed, blabbermouthed, blabby." This implies not just talking a lot, but doing so in a way that is indiscreet or potentially harmful.
   - **Sense 3**: "friendly and open and willing to talk" with the synonym "expansive." The example "wine made the guest expansive" suggests a positive or at least neutral connotation, indicating someone who is sociable and communicative.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - Haney is avoiding people who are described as both "talkative" and "friendly lushes." The term "friendly" suggests a positive or sociable aspect, aligning with Sense 3. However, the reason Haney is avoiding them is likely because they are being too conversational or intrusive, which could align with the excessive conversation implied in Sense 1.
   - The context doesn't directly suggest that the individuals are being indiscreet (Sense 2), as there's no indication that they're sharing sensitive information or being inappropriate in their conversation.

5. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - Sense 1 seems plausible because it highlights the quantity or triviality of the conversation, which could be annoying or intrusive.
   - Sense 3 is also a strong candidate because "friendly" is used alongside "talkative," and "expansive" (the synonym for Sense 3) can imply a sociable and open demeanor, which fits with being described as "friendly lushes."

Given the context and the description of the individuals as "friendly," the most appropriate sense seems to be Sense 1, as it directly addresses the aspect of being "talkative" in a way that could be annoying or intrusive to Haney, without necessarily implying indiscretion.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a character, Haney, who is sitting in a bar, drinking bourbon, and indulging in his "pet grievance." The context suggests that Haney is deriving some form of satisfaction or pleasure from this activity, despite the grievance being negative.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "enjoying" is used to describe Haney's experience of "washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water." This implies that he is taking pleasure in the ritual, which involves his grievance and the act of drinking.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in**: This sense is associated with synonyms like "bask," "relish," "savor," and "savour." The example given is "She relished her fame and basked in her glory." This sense fits contexts where someone is deriving pleasure or enjoyment.
   - **2. have benefit from**: The example "enjoy privileges" suggests a more neutral or positive benefit without necessarily implying pleasure. This doesn't directly relate to the emotional or personal satisfaction derived from an activity.
   - **3. get pleasure from**: With "love" as a synonym and the example "I love cooking," this sense directly relates to deriving pleasure from an activity.
   - **4. have for one's benefit**: The example "The industry enjoyed a boom" implies benefiting from a situation, not necessarily enjoying it in a pleasure sense.
   - **5. take delight in**: With synonyms "delight" and "revel," and the example "he delights in his granddaughter," this sense implies a strong positive enjoyment or pleasure.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context suggests Haney is deriving a form of twisted pleasure or satisfaction from his ritual, which involves nursing his grievance.
   - Senses 1 and 3 directly relate to deriving pleasure or enjoyment. Sense 1 is broader and includes synonyms that imply a deep appreciation or enjoyment ("relish," "savor"), which could fit the context of Haney enjoying his ritual.
   - Sense 3 is more about getting pleasure from an activity and is associated with "love," which might be too strong for Haney's situation since his "enjoyment" is somewhat perverse.

5. **Decision**: The most fitting sense is **1**, as it encompasses deriving pleasure from an activity, even if that activity is not typically considered enjoyable by others. Haney is deriving a form of satisfaction from his ritual, which aligns with "derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in."

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a character, Haney, who is in a bar on a Saturday night, drinking bourbon. It mentions that he is enjoying a "weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water." This indicates that the action of drinking bourbon while nurturing his grievance is a regular, habitual activity for Haney.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "ritual" is used to describe this habitual activity. The task is to identify which sense of "ritual" is being used here.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "any customary observance or practice" with the synonym "rite." This sense suggests a habitual or customary practice, which could potentially fit the context.
   - **Sense 2**: "the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies." The context does not indicate a religious ceremony, so this sense seems less likely.
   - **Sense 3**: "stereotyped behavior." This implies a behavior that is repeated in a similar manner, possibly lacking in originality or spontaneity.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The activity described is Haney's weekly action of drinking and dwelling on his grievance. It's not a religious ceremony, so **Sense 2** is unlikely.
   - The action is both a "customary observance or practice" (**Sense 1**) and could be seen as a form of "stereotyped behavior" (**Sense 3**) because it's a repeated behavior Haney engages in.
   - However, the context emphasizes the regularity and habitual nature of the action rather than implying it's stereotyped or lacking in originality. The focus is on it being a weekly, customary practice.

5. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - **Sense 1** ("any customary observance or practice") fits well because it directly relates to the idea of Haney having a weekly, habitual practice of drinking and nurturing his grievance. The synonym "rite" also supports this interpretation, as it implies a customary or habitual practice.
   - While **Sense 3** could also apply, the context doesn't strongly suggest that Haney's behavior is "stereotyped" in the sense of being unoriginal or lacking in spontaneity; it simply is a regular practice.

6. **Conclusion**: The best fit for the context provided is **Sense 1**, as it accurately describes Haney's action as a customary or habitual practice.

Therefore, the response should be: {"sense_index": 1}

Target lemma: wash_down
Target surface form: washing down
Context:
It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual. He had been sitting in the usual corner at the little table, as far as possible from any talkative, friendly lushes. He was enjoying the weekly ritual of <t>washing down</t> his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water. This favorite grievance was not the landlord.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=wash_down%2:34:00:: | definition=eat food accompanied by lots of liquid; also use metaphorically | examples=She washed down her dinner with a bottle of red wine; He washes down his worries with a nightly glass of whisky

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a character, Haney, who is in a bar, drinking bourbon slightly moistened with water. It mentions that he is enjoying the ritual of "washing down" his pet grievance with this drink. The context suggests that Haney is using alcohol to accompany or alleviate his grievance, metaphorically "washing it down."

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "eat food accompanied by lots of liquid; also use metaphorically" with examples like "She washed down her dinner with a bottle of red wine" and "He washes down his worries with a nightly glass of whisky." This sense allows for a metaphorical interpretation where "washing down" is used to mean accompanying or alleviating something (not necessarily food) with a liquid, often alcohol.
   - **Sense 2**: "flow freely" with synonyms like "flush down" and an example "The body washed down the river." This sense implies movement or flow of something (often a physical object or substance) down a path or through a medium, like a river.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that Haney is using bourbon to metaphorically "wash down" his grievance, not that his grievance or anything else is physically flowing down a path.
   - The action described is metaphorical, involving the consumption of alcohol to accompany or alleviate a mental state (a grievance), which aligns with the metaphorical use described in Sense 1.
   - The example in Sense 1, "He washes down his worries with a nightly glass of whisky," closely parallels the context provided, where Haney is using bourbon to "wash down" his grievance.

4. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the analysis of the candidate senses, the best indexed sense for "washing down" is Sense 1, as it accurately describes the metaphorical use of "washing down" to mean accompanying or alleviating something (in this case, a grievance) with a liquid (bourbon).

Therefore, the response should be: {"sense_index": 1}

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

The sentence is: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his <t>pet</t> grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water."

1. The first sense defines "pet" as "a domesticated animal kept for companionship or amusement." This doesn't fit the context because "pet grievance" doesn't relate to an animal.

2. The second sense defines "pet" as "a special loved one" with synonyms like "darling, favorite, favourite, dearie, deary, ducky." This sense could potentially fit if we consider "pet grievance" to mean a favorite or cherished grievance.

3. The third sense defines "pet" as "a fit of petulance or sulkiness (especially at what is felt to be a slight)." While this is a possible interpretation of "pet," it doesn't directly fit the phrase "pet grievance" as it would more likely be associated with a state of being rather than a noun like "grievance."

4. The fourth sense is unrelated to the context as it refers to "positron emission tomography," a medical imaging technique.

Given the context, "pet grievance" is an idiomatic expression where "pet" is used to mean a cherished or favorite grievance. The second sense, which defines "pet" as "a special loved one" or implies something being cherished or favored, aligns with this interpretation. Therefore, the best sense for "pet" in this context is the second sense.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a character, Haney, who is dealing with a personal issue or problem he refers to as his "pet grievance." This grievance is something he addresses or copes with by drinking bourbon. The context suggests that the grievance is a personal, emotional, or psychological burden rather than a formal or legal issue.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation" with synonyms like "grudge" and "score." This sense implies a strong negative feeling towards someone or something, potentially justifying a reaction or revenge.
   - **Sense 2**: "an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice." This is more formal and relates to legal or quasi-legal complaints.
   - **Sense 3**: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action." This sense involves a perceived injustice or wrong that provokes resentment.

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context indicates that Haney's "grievance" is personal and not necessarily about a legal issue or formal complaint. It is something he "washes down" with bourbon, suggesting it's an emotional or psychological issue.
   - The use of "pet grievance" implies a personal, possibly irrational, or at least deeply felt resentment.
   - The synonyms and examples for **Sense 1** ("grudge" and "score") fit well with the context, as they imply a personal resentment.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - **Sense 1** aligns closely with the context because "grievance" is used to describe a personal resentment or grudge that Haney nurses. The fact that it's his "pet grievance" and he copes with it by drinking suggests it's a personal issue or emotional burden.
   - **Sense 2** and **Sense 3** could potentially fit in different contexts, but they don't align as closely with the personal, emotional nature of Haney's grievance as described.

Given the analysis, the best indexed sense for "grievance" in the context is **Sense 1**, as it aligns with the personal and emotional nature of the term as used in the passage.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a scene where the character, Haney, is in a bar, drinking. It mentions that he is "washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water." This indicates that "bourbon" is being used as a beverage.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:

   - **2. sense_key=bourbon%1:13:00::**: Defines bourbon as whiskey distilled from a mash of corn and malt and rye and aged in charred oak barrels. This matches the context of drinking bourbon in a bar.
   - **3. sense_key=bourbon%1:18:00::**: Refers to a member of the European royal family that ruled France. This doesn't fit the context as the passage is discussing a beverage.
   - **4. sense_key=bourbon%1:14:00::**: Describes a European royal line that ruled in France and other countries. This also doesn't fit the context for the same reason as sense 3.

3. **Decision**: Based on the context that Haney is drinking bourbon in a bar, the most appropriate sense is the one related to the beverage.

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

The context is: "He was enjoying the weekly ritual of washing down his pet grievance with bourbon slightly moistened with water."

Here, Haney is drinking bourbon that has been "slightly moistened with water." This implies that water is being used to dilute the bourbon, making it less strong.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Binary compound that occurs at room temperature as a clear colorless odorless tasteless liquid; freezes into ice below 0 degrees centigrade and boils above 100 degrees centigrade; widely used as a solvent.** This definition fits the context as water is being used to dilute bourbon.

2. **The part of the earth's surface covered with water (such as a river or lake or ocean).** This doesn't fit the context as it refers to large bodies of water, not the liquid itself.

3. **Once thought to be one of four elements composing the universe (Empedocles).** This is a historical or philosophical context that doesn't fit the scenario of drinking bourbon.

4. **A facility that provides a source of water.** This doesn't fit as the context is about the liquid, not a facility.

5. **Liquid excretory product.** This is unrelated to the context of drinking.

6. **A liquid necessary for the life of most animals and plants.** While water is indeed necessary for life, the specific context here is about using water to dilute a drink, not about its necessity for life.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is the first one, as it accurately describes water being used as a liquid to dilute bourbon.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a character, Haney, who is in a bar, enjoying his weekly ritual of drinking bourbon while nursing a grievance. The grievance is referred to as his "favorite grievance," indicating it is something he prefers or dwells on more than others.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "favorite" is used to describe the grievance Haney holds. This implies that among possibly several grievances, this one is preferred or given more attention by him.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "appealing to the general public." The example given is "a favorite tourist attraction." This sense does not fit the context because Haney's grievance is not necessarily appealing to the general public; it's his personal preference or focus.
   - **Sense 2**: "preferred above all others and treated with partiality." The synonyms include "favored, favourite, best-loved, pet, preferred, preferent," and an example is "the favored child." This sense fits the context well because Haney's grievance is his preferred or pet grievance, indicating it is the one he dwells on or prefers above others he might have.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**: Based on the context and the analysis of the candidate senses, the use of "favorite" to describe Haney's grievance aligns with the second sense. It indicates that the grievance is his preferred or most dwelled-upon one, not necessarily that it is appealing to others.

5. **Returning the Answer**: The candidate senses are indexed starting from 1. The description that matches the usage of "favorite" in the given context is the second sense.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes Haney's experience in a bar, where he is nursing a "grievance" along with his bourbon. The text indicates that this grievance is something he enjoys dwelling on and is not related to his landlord, whom he had issues with previously.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "grievance" refers to a feeling of resentment or a complaint about something perceived as wrong.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "a resentment strong enough to justify retaliation" with synonyms like "grudge" and "score". The examples given are "holding a grudge" and "settling a score". This sense implies a strong negative feeling towards someone or something, potentially justifying a form of revenge or confrontation.
   - **Sense 2**: "an allegation that something imposes an illegal obligation or denies some legal right or causes injustice". This sense is more formal and relates to legal or quasi-legal complaints.
   - **Sense 3**: "a complaint about a (real or imaginary) wrong that causes resentment and is grounds for action". This definition encompasses a broad range of complaints or feelings of injustice that could motivate action.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context suggests that Haney's grievance is something he nurtures and enjoys talking or thinking about while drinking. It's described as a "pet grievance" and a "favorite grievance", indicating it's a personal, ongoing resentment rather than a formal complaint or a legal issue.
   - The fact that it's not related to the landlord anymore and is something he "enjoys" in a ritualistic manner with his bourbon suggests it's a personal grudge or resentment.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - **Sense 1** fits well because it describes a personal resentment ("grudge") that is strong. The context implies Haney has a personal, negative feeling he dwells on, which aligns with "holding a grudge".
   - **Sense 2** is less likely because there's no indication of a legal or formal complaint.
   - **Sense 3** is plausible as it involves a complaint or wrong that causes resentment. However, the context leans more towards a personal feeling of resentment rather than a specific complaint or action.

Given the context and the descriptions, **Sense 1** is the most appropriate. The narrative portrays Haney's grievance as a personal, cherished resentment, akin to "holding a grudge".

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a character's actions and thoughts in a bar. It mentions that the character had "only mentioned him on the spur of the moment," referring to the landlord. The context suggests that the character brought up or referenced the landlord briefly or casually.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "make reference to" with synonyms like "advert, bring up, cite, name, refer." The example given is "His name was mentioned in connection with the invention." This sense fits the context because mentioning the landlord "on the spur of the moment" implies making a reference to him, likely in conversation.
   - **Sense 2**: "make mention of" with synonyms like "note, observe, remark." The examples provided are "She observed that his presentation took up too much time; They noted that it was a fine day to go sailing." While this sense could potentially fit, the synonyms and examples suggest a slightly more formal or observational tone than the casual "on the spur of the moment" implies.
   - **Sense 3**: "commend" with the synonym "cite." The example is "he was cited for his outstanding achievements." This sense does not fit the context because there's no indication that the character is being praised or commended for something.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context indicates a casual reference to the landlord.
   - Sense 1 directly relates to making a reference to someone or something, which aligns with the context of mentioning the landlord "on the spur of the moment."
   - Sense 2, while plausible, doesn't fit as neatly because the tone of "on the spur of the moment" suggests a more spontaneous action than the synonyms and examples of Sense 2 imply.
   - Sense 3 is not relevant to the context.

Given the analysis, the most appropriate sense is **Sense 1**, as it directly corresponds to making a reference to someone (the landlord) in a casual or spontaneous manner.

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