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

The sentence is: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection."

Here, "cross" is used in the context of moving from one side of the street to the other.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. travel across or pass over - This sense fits the context as "cross the street" means to travel across or pass over the street.
2. meet at a point - This doesn't fit as "cross" here doesn't imply two things meeting.
3. hinder or prevent - This doesn't fit the context; "cross" isn't used to mean hindering or preventing something.
4. fold so as to resemble a cross - This is unrelated to the context; the action described doesn't involve folding.
5. to cover or extend over an area or time period - While "cross" can imply covering a distance, the specific action of crossing a street is more directly related to traveling across.
6. meet and pass - This could be a possible interpretation in some contexts, but here, it specifically refers to the action of moving across the street.
7. trace a line through or across - This is not relevant to the context; "cross" isn't about tracing a line.
8. breed animals or plants - This is unrelated to the action described.

The most suitable definition is "travel across or pass over" as it directly relates to the action of moving from one side of the street to the other.

The corresponding sense index is 1.

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

The context describes a scene where a stranger starts to cross the "street" against the light, and a huge moving van is about to hit him. The action involves a vehicle (the moving van) and the act of crossing, which implies the part of the thoroughfare where vehicles travel.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Definition: a thoroughfare (usually including sidewalks) that is lined with buildings.
   - This sense refers to the street as a whole, including its sidewalks and surrounding buildings. While it could be a possible interpretation, the context focuses on the action of crossing and the presence of a vehicle, which suggests a more specific part of the thoroughfare.

2. Definition: the part of a thoroughfare between the sidewalks; the part of the thoroughfare on which vehicles travel.
   - This sense directly relates to the part of the street where vehicles are moving, which is relevant to the context where a van is about to hit the stranger. The example "be careful crossing the street" also matches the scenario described.

3. Definition: the streets of a city viewed as a depressed environment...
   - This sense implies a more abstract or figurative interpretation of "street," related to social issues. The context does not support this interpretation as it focuses on a specific action involving a vehicle.

4. Definition: a situation offering opportunities.
   - This is a metaphorical use of "street," not directly related to a physical thoroughfare. The context does not support this interpretation.

5. Definition: people living or working on the same street.
   - This sense refers to the community or individuals associated with a street, not the physical street itself. The context does not support this interpretation.

Given the context, where the action involves crossing the street and a vehicle is about to hit the stranger, the most relevant definition is the one that refers to the part of the thoroughfare on which vehicles travel.

The best indexed sense for "street" in this context is the second definition, which corresponds to sense_index = 2 (since indexing starts at 1).

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

The context describes a scene where a stranger starts to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roars through the intersection. This scenario involves a street or road junction.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A point where lines intersect - This is a general definition that could apply to various contexts, including geometry.
2. A junction where one street or road crosses another - This definition directly relates to the context provided, involving streets and roads.
3. A point or set of points common to two or more geometric configurations - This is more specific to geometry and doesn't directly relate to the context of streets or roads.
4. The set of elements common to two or more sets - This definition is related to set theory and doesn't fit the context.
5. A representation of common ground between theories or phenomena - This is more abstract and doesn't relate to the physical context described.
6. The act of intersecting - This refers to the action of crossing or joining paths, which is not the focus of the context.

The context clearly describes a physical location where streets or roads cross, which is directly related to sense 2: "a junction where one street or road crosses another." The synonyms provided for this sense, such as "crossroad," "crossway," "crossing," and "carrefour," all relate to the concept of roads or streets intersecting.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence describes a scene where a huge moving van roars through an intersection, and a horn "blared furiously" as brakes howled. This situation implies a loud, possibly harsh or strident noise made by the horn to alert or warn.

2. **Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "make a strident sound" with synonyms like "blast" and an example where "She tended to blast when speaking into a microphone." The term "strident" implies a harsh, loud, and grating quality.
   - **Sense 2**: "make a loud noise" with synonyms like "honk, beep, claxon, toot" and an example where "The horns of the taxis blared." This sense directly relates to the sound made by vehicle horns.

3. **Analysis**:
   - The context involves a horn making a noise in a potentially dangerous situation, which aligns with both making a loud noise and a strident sound.
   - The synonyms for Sense 2 ("honk, beep, claxon, toot") directly relate to the sounds made by vehicle horns, fitting the context perfectly.
   - While "blast" (a synonym for Sense 1) can also imply a loud noise, the specific context of a horn being used suggests that the action is more about the typical function of a horn (to honk or make a loud warning noise) rather than just making any strident sound.

4. **Decision**:
   - Given the context and the specific action described (a horn being used in a situation where it is expected to make a loud warning noise), Sense 2 ("make a loud noise") with its direct relation to the function of a horn (as supported by its synonyms and example) is the most appropriate choice.

5. **Indexed Sense Choice**:
   - The first sense is indexed as 1, and the second sense is indexed as 2. Therefore, the best indexed sense for "blared" in the given context is 2.

The final answer is: {"sense_index": 2}

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

The context is: "Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

In this context, "hit" is used to describe a situation where a man is almost struck or collided with by a huge moving van. The action involves a potential collision between the man and the van.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

1. cause to move by striking (e.g., hit a ball) - Not directly relevant as it involves causing something to move by striking, not being struck.
2. hit against; come into sudden contact with (e.g., The car hit a tree) - This sense involves a collision, which matches the context.
3. deal a blow to, either with the hand or with an instrument (e.g., He hit her hard in the face) - While this involves a form of "hitting," it typically implies an intentional action with the hand or an instrument, not a collision with a vehicle.
4. reach a destination, either real or abstract (e.g., We hit Detroit by noon) - Not relevant as it involves arriving at a destination, not a collision.
5. affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely (e.g., We were hit by really bad weather) - This could potentially fit, but it's more about being affected by something, not necessarily a direct collision.
6. hit with a missile from a weapon (e.g., shoot) - Not relevant as it involves being hit by a projectile, not a vehicle.
7. encounter by chance (e.g., I stumbled across a long-lost cousin) - Not relevant as it involves a chance encounter, not a collision.
8. gain points in a game (e.g., He hit a home run) - Not relevant as it's related to scoring in a game.
9. cause to experience suddenly (e.g., Panic struck me) - While this involves a sudden effect, it's not directly related to a physical collision.
10. make a strategic, offensive, assault against an enemy, opponent, or a target (e.g., The Germans struck Poland) - Not relevant as it involves a military or strategic attack.
11. kill intentionally and with premeditation (e.g., The mafia boss ordered his enemies murdered) - Not relevant as it involves intentional killing, not an accidental collision.
12. drive something violently into a location (e.g., he hit his fist on the table) - This involves a violent action but is more about the action of hitting something rather than being hit.
13. reach a point in time, or a certain state or level (e.g., The thermometer hit 100 degrees) - Not relevant as it involves reaching a certain level or state.
14. produce by manipulating keys or strings of musical instruments (e.g., The pianist strikes a middle C) - Not relevant as it's related to music.
15. consume to excess (e.g., hit the bottle) - Not relevant as it involves excessive consumption.
16. hit the intended target or goal - Not directly relevant as it involves achieving a target, not being involved in a collision.
17. pay unsolicited and usually unwanted sexual attention to (e.g., He tries to hit on women in bars) - Not relevant as it involves a specific type of unwanted attention.

The most relevant sense here is "hit against; come into sudden contact with" because it directly involves a collision or coming into sudden contact, which is what the context describes - the man being hit by a van if he hadn't been warned.

The best indexed sense for "hit" in this context is sense_index 2, as it corresponds to the definition "hit against; come into sudden contact with."

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 "called out" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a scene where a man is about to be hit by a moving van. Phil shouts to warn him, preventing the accident. The action of Phil shouting is described as "called out."

2. **Understanding the Target**: The target is "called out," which is a past tense form of "call out." We need to identify the sense that best fits this action in the given context.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "utter aloud; often with surprise, horror, or joy" with synonyms like "exclaim, cry, cry out, outcry, shout." The example given is "`I won!' he exclaimed; `Help!' she cried." This sense involves uttering something aloud, often with strong emotions.
   - **Sense 2**: "call out loudly, as of names or numbers." There's no specific example related to the context provided.
   - **Sense 3**: "challenge to a duel" with an example "Aaron Burr called out Alexander Hamilton." This involves a specific historical or formal context of challenging someone to a duel.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context involves Phil shouting to warn a stranger about an impending accident. This action is described as involuntary and done on the spur of the moment.
   - **Sense 1** fits well because shouting to warn someone can be considered as uttering aloud, often with surprise or to alert someone (in this case, horror or urgency). The action is akin to exclaiming or crying out, which matches the synonyms and the general definition provided.
   - **Sense 2** involves calling out names or numbers loudly, which doesn't directly apply to the context of warning someone.
   - **Sense 3** is unrelated to the context as it involves challenging someone to a duel, which is not relevant to the scenario described.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, **Sense 1** is the most appropriate. It aligns with the action of shouting to warn someone, which is an utterance made aloud, often with a sense of urgency or surprise.

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

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

The sentence is: "His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment."

Here, "done" refers to the action of shouting, which was performed without prior thought. The context suggests that the action was carried out or performed.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. engage in - This sense doesn't perfectly fit as "done" here refers to a specific action (shouting) rather than engaging in an activity or behavior over a period.
2. carry out or perform an action - This sense fits well as "done" refers to the action of shouting that was performed.
3. get (something) done - This is a plausible sense as it implies completing or performing a task or action, which aligns with shouting being done.
4. proceed or get along - This doesn't fit as the context is about a specific action, not about how someone is proceeding or getting along.
5. give rise to; cause to happen or occur - While shouting could cause something to happen, the primary meaning here is the act of shouting itself, not its consequences.
6. carry out or practice; as of jobs and professions - This doesn't fit as shouting isn't a job or profession.
7. be sufficient; be adequate - This sense doesn't apply as the context is about an action being performed, not about something being sufficient.
8. create or design - This doesn't fit as shouting isn't about creating or designing something.
9. behave in a certain manner - While related, this is broader than the specific action of shouting.
10. spend time in prison or in a labor camp - This is unrelated to the context.
11. carry on or function - This doesn't directly apply to the specific action of shouting.
12. arrange attractively - This is unrelated to the context of shouting.
13. travel or traverse (a distance) - This doesn't fit as the context is about an action, not about traveling a distance.

The most suitable definition is "carry out or perform an action" because it directly relates to the action of shouting that was performed. This matches sense_index 2.

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

The sentence is: "As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit."

1. The first sense is defined as "feel concern or interest." The example given is "I really care about my work; I don't care." The context suggests that the subject didn't have any concern or interest in whether the guy was hit or not, aligning with the usage in "I don't care."

2. The second sense involves "provide care for," which doesn't fit the context as there's no indication of providing care.

3. The third sense is "prefer or wish to do something." The examples include "Do you care to try this dish?" or "Would you like to come along to the movies?" This doesn't directly fit the context of not having a particular feeling towards an event (the guy being hit).

4. The fourth sense is about being "in charge of, act on, or dispose of," which is unrelated to the emotional or attitudinal context provided.

5. The fifth sense is "be concerned with," with a synonym "worry." While this involves a negative emotional state, the context is more about lacking concern rather than being preoccupied with worry.

The context clearly indicates a lack of concern or interest in the event (the guy being hit), which aligns with the first sense: "feel concern or interest." The sentence implies that the subject wouldn't have minded or been bothered if the event had occurred, directly relating to the emotional state or attitude towards the event.

Therefore, the best sense for "cared" in the given context is the first one.

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

The context is: "Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

The relevant sentence for the target word "hit" is: "but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before."

Here, the word "hit" is used in the context of a man being struck or collided with by a huge moving van. The action described involves a potential collision or impact.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. cause to move by striking - This doesn't fit as the context doesn't describe causing the man to move by striking.
2. hit against; come into sudden contact with - This is a plausible sense as it involves coming into sudden contact, which aligns with the context of a van potentially colliding with the man.
3. deal a blow to, either with the hand or with an instrument - While this involves a form of striking, the context implies a collision rather than a deliberate action with the hand or an instrument.
4. reach a destination, either real or abstract - This doesn't fit the context as "hit" here doesn't describe reaching a destination.
5. affect or afflict suddenly, usually adversely - This could be considered, but the immediate context is more about a physical collision than an abstract affliction.
6. hit with a missile from a weapon - This doesn't apply as there's no mention of a weapon.
7. encounter by chance - This doesn't fit as "hit" is used to describe a potential collision, not an encounter.
8. gain points in a game - This is irrelevant to the context.
9. cause to experience suddenly - While "hit" can mean to cause someone to experience something suddenly, the context is more literal.
10. make a strategic, offensive, assault against an enemy, opponent, or a target - This doesn't apply as there's no strategic assault described.
11. kill intentionally and with premeditation - This is not relevant as the context doesn't imply intentional killing.
12. drive something violently into a location - This doesn't fit as the subject (the man) is not driving something into a location.
13. reach a point in time, or a certain state or level - This is not relevant to the context.
14. produce by manipulating keys or strings of musical instruments, also metaphorically - This doesn't apply.
15. consume to excess - This is irrelevant to the context.
16. hit the intended target or goal - This doesn't directly apply as the context is about a potential collision.
17. pay unsolicited and usually unwanted sexual attention to - This is not relevant.

The most fitting definition is "hit against; come into sudden contact with" as it directly relates to the context of a potential collision between the man and the van. This corresponds to sense_index 2.

Target lemma: regret
Target surface form: regretted
Context:
It was blurred, after two hours of steady drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him. The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection. Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before. His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he <t>regretted</t> having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=regret%2:37:00:: | definition=feel remorse for; feel sorry for; be contrite about | synonyms=repent, rue

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 "regretted" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context describes a scenario where the protagonist, Phil, shouts to warn a stranger who is about to be hit by a moving van. After the situation is resolved without the stranger being hit, Phil regrets having intervened by shouting. The relevant sentence is: "Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them."

Now, let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "feel remorse for; feel sorry for; be contrite about" with synonyms "repent, rue." This sense involves feeling sorry for something one has done. The context suggests that Phil is sorry for having shouted, as it led to a potentially troublesome situation with the angry driver.

2. The second sense is "feel sad about the loss or absence of." While this sense involves a negative emotional state, it is more about loss or absence rather than remorse for an action.

3. The third sense is "decline formally or politely," as in "I regret I can't come to the party." This is a more formal expression of regret, typically used in polite refusals or expressions of inability to do something.

4. The fourth sense is "express with regret," as seen in "I regret to say that you did not gain admission to Harvard." This involves stating something with a sense of regret.

Given the context, Phil is feeling sorry for having taken an action (shouting to warn the stranger), which aligns with feeling remorse for something he did. The first sense ("feel remorse for; feel sorry for; be contrite about") fits this context best because it involves feeling sorry for an action taken.

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

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

The sentence is: "Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them."

Here, "opened his mouth" is an idiomatic expression meaning to speak or say something. The context indicates that Phil shouted to warn a stranger who was about to be hit by a truck. The act of shouting is what is being regretted, as it led to a confrontation with the angry driver.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Cause to open or to become open - This sense fits the literal interpretation of "open" but needs to be considered in the context of "opened his mouth."
2. Start to operate or function or cause to start operating or functioning - This doesn't directly relate to the act of speaking or shouting.
3. Become open - Similar to sense 1, it could relate to the physical act of opening, but "opened his mouth" is more about the action of speaking than the state of being open.
4. Begin or set in action, of meetings, speeches, recitals, etc. - While this involves the start of an action, it's more formal and doesn't directly apply to shouting.
5. Spread out or open from a closed or folded state - This is more about physical objects or postures, not directly relevant to the act of speaking.
6. Make available - This sense is about making something accessible, not directly related to the context.
7. Become available - Similar to sense 6, it's about the state of being accessible, not directly relevant.
8. Have an opening or passage or outlet - This is more about physical spaces or objects, not applicable here.
9. Make the opening move - This is relevant in the context of games or competitions, not applicable to the given situation.
10. Afford access to - This is about providing a means of entry or access, not directly relevant.
11. Display the contents of a file or start an application as on a computer - This is specific to computing and not relevant to the context.

The phrase "opened his mouth" is best understood as speaking or uttering something. The closest sense that relates to the action of speaking or making a sound is sense 1, "cause to open or to become open," as it can be interpreted to include the act of opening one's mouth to speak. However, the more idiomatic interpretation is that it involves the act of speaking.

Upon closer inspection, the best fit is sense 1 because "opened his mouth" is a common idiom for speaking or uttering a sound, and it involves causing one's mouth to open.

The best answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a scene where a stranger is about to be hit by a "huge moving van" as he crosses the street against the light. The text then mentions "the truck came to a stop" after brakes howled and a horn blared, indicating that the "truck" is the same vehicle referred to earlier as a "huge moving van." The driver of this vehicle gets out of the "cab," which further clarifies its nature.

2. **WordNet Glosses and Definitions**:
   - Sense 1: "an automotive vehicle suitable for hauling" with synonyms like "motortruck."
   - Sense 2: "a handcart that has a frame with two low wheels and a ledge at the bottom and handles at the top; used to move crates or other heavy objects" with synonyms like "hand truck."

3. **Analysis**:
   - The context clearly indicates that the "truck" is an automotive vehicle, as it is described as roaring through an intersection, having brakes that howl, and a horn that blares. It also has a "cab" from which the driver jumps down.
   - The description matches the first sense: "an automotive vehicle suitable for hauling." The fact that it's referred to as a "huge moving van" aligns with this definition, as moving vans are large automotive vehicles used for hauling goods.

4. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the "truck" refers to an automotive vehicle suitable for hauling, which corresponds to the first indexed sense.

The best answer is {"sense_index": 1}.

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

The sentence is: "By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend. The angry driver jumped down from the cab and walked back toward them."

Here, "jumped" is used in the context of the angry driver getting down from the cab of the truck. The action described involves the driver quickly getting down from the elevated position of the cab.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

1. **move forward by leaps and bounds** - This doesn't directly apply to the context of getting down from a cab.
2. **move or jump suddenly, as if in surprise or alarm** - While the driver is angry and thus might be acting suddenly, this sense doesn't directly relate to the action of getting down from a height.
3. **make a sudden physical attack on** - The context doesn't indicate the driver is attacking someone physically at this moment; he's getting down from the cab.
4. **increase suddenly and significantly** - This doesn't apply to the physical action described.
5. **be highly noticeable** - Not relevant to the action of the driver.
6. **enter eagerly into** - Not relevant.
7. **rise in rank or status** - Not relevant.
8. **jump down from an elevated point** - This directly corresponds to the action of the driver getting down from the cab. The synonym "leap" and the example "the parachutist didn't want to jump; every year, hundreds of people jump off the Golden Gate bridge" support this interpretation, as "jumped down" fits the context of descending from a higher position.
9. **run off or leave the rails** - Not relevant; this pertains to trains derailing.
10. **jump from an airplane and descend with a parachute** - Not relevant; the context is not about parachuting.
11. **cause to jump or leap** - Not relevant; the subject (driver) is performing the action on himself.
12. **start (a car engine whose battery is dead) by connecting it to another car's battery** - Not relevant; this is about jump-starting a car.
13. **bypass** - Not relevant.
14. **pass abruptly from one state or topic to another** - Not relevant.
15. **go back and forth; swing back and forth between two states or conditions** - Not relevant.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is **8. jump down from an elevated point**, as it directly relates to the action of the driver getting down from the cab.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "jumped" in the given context is the one corresponding to "jump down from an elevated point," which is sense_index 8.

Target lemma: cab
Target surface form: cab
Context:
It was blurred, after two hours of steady drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him. The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection. Brakes howled and a horn blared furiously, but the man would have been hit if Phil hadn't called out to him a second before. His shout had been involuntary, something anybody might have done without thinking, on the spur of the moment. As a matter of fact, he wouldn't have cared at all if the guy had been hit. Actually, he regretted having opened his mouth when the truck came to a stop and the angry driver jumped down from the <t>cab</t> and walked back toward them. By then, the stranger was thanking Haney profusely and had one arm around his shoulders as if he were an old friend.

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

The context describes a scene where a huge moving van roars through an intersection, and its driver jumps down from the "cab" after it comes to a stop. The description includes details about the van's movement and the driver's action, indicating that the "cab" is part of a larger vehicle, specifically a moving van.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "cab" as "a compartment at the front of a motor vehicle or locomotive where driver sits." This definition fits the context well, as it describes the part of the moving van where the driver is seated.

2. The second sense refers to "cab" as a "small two-wheeled horse-drawn carriage; with two seats and a folding hood." This is synonymous with "cabriolet," which doesn't match the context of a moving van.

3. The third sense defines "cab" as "a car driven by a person whose job is to take passengers where they want to go in exchange for money," synonymous with "hack," "taxi," or "taxicab." While this is a common usage of "cab," it doesn't fit the context of a moving van.

Given the context, the most appropriate definition is the first one, as it accurately describes the driver's compartment in a motor vehicle like a moving van.

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