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

The sentence is: "Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep."

Here, "returned" is used to indicate that the subject (he) went back to his apartment. The context suggests a physical movement back to a previous location.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. `return%2:38:00::` - "go or come back to place, condition, or activity where one has been before" - This matches the context as "he" is going back to his apartment, a place he had been before.

2. Other senses relate to giving back, reverting to a state, answering back, etc., which do not directly fit the context of physically going back to a location.

Given the context and the definitions, the most suitable sense is the one that involves going or coming back to a place where one has been before.

The definition in sense 1 matches this interpretation: "go or come back to place, condition, or activity where one has been before."

Thus, the best indexed sense for "returned" in the given context is sense 1.

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

The sentence is: "...and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep."

Here, "putting" is used in the context of dismissing or removing something (the whole incident) from one's mind.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is about placing something in a certain location. While it could be interpreted broadly, the direct object is "the whole incident out of mind," which is more abstract than physical placement.

2. The second sense involves causing something to be in a certain state or relation. "Putting the whole incident out of mind" can be seen as causing the incident to be forgotten or no longer considered, which fits this sense.

3. The third sense is about formulating something in a particular style or language, which doesn't directly apply to the given context.

4. The fourth sense involves attributing or giving something, which doesn't directly fit the context of dismissing an incident from one's mind.

5. The fifth sense is about making an investment, which is unrelated to the context.

6. The sixth sense involves estimating something, which doesn't fit the given context.

7. The seventh sense is about causing someone to undergo something, often with a negative connotation, which doesn't directly apply here.

8. The eighth sense involves adapting something (like putting words to music), which is not relevant to the context.

9. The ninth sense is about arranging thoughts, ideas, or events, which is somewhat related but not the best fit for the idiom "out of mind."

The phrase "putting the whole incident out of mind" is best understood as causing the incident to be forgotten or dismissed from consideration, which aligns with the second sense: "cause to be in a certain state; cause to be in a certain relation." The example given for this sense, "put your ideas in writing," illustrates a similar causative effect, though the context is different.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The context revolves around a narrative where a character, Haney, encounters a stranger at a gathering. The stranger's presence and departure are noted by Haney, and the event is later referred to as "the whole incident."

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "incident" is used to refer back to the event involving the stranger.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=incident%1:11:00:: | definition=a single distinct event**: This definition fits a broad range of events, suggesting that "incident" can be used to denote any singular happening.
   - **2. sense_key=incident%1:26:00:: | definition=a public disturbance | examples=the police investigated an incident at the bus station**: This definition implies a more specific type of event, one that is not only singular but also involves some form of disturbance or possibly negative occurrence in a public setting.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context describes the encounter with the stranger as an event that Haney tries to put out of his mind. It doesn't necessarily imply a public disturbance; rather, it was a personal, somewhat unusual experience for Haney.
   - The event was not described as causing a public disturbance; it was more of a personal or private observation by Haney.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given that the event was a singular happening and not necessarily a public disturbance, the most fitting definition is "a single distinct event."
   - The first sense (incident%1:11:00::) matches this interpretation.

6. **Returning the Answer in the Required Format**:
Since the first sense is the best match, and it is indexed as "1", the answer should be formatted as a JSON object indicating the chosen sense index.

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

The sentence is: "...putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep."

Here, the phrase "out of mind" is an idiom that means to forget or not think about something anymore. The context suggests that Haney is trying to forget the incident involving the strange little man.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The definition is "that which is responsible for one's thoughts and feelings; the seat of the faculty of reason." While this sense is related to the concept of mind, the phrase "out of mind" doesn't directly relate to the seat of reason but rather to the act of forgetting.

2. The definition is "recall or remembrance," with the example "it came to mind." The phrase "out of mind" is closely related to this sense, as it implies something is not being remembered or thought about.

3. The definition is "an opinion formed by judging something." This doesn't directly relate to the phrase "out of mind."

4. The definition is "an important intellectual." This sense is not relevant to the context.

5. The definition is "attention." While related to mental processes, "out of mind" doesn't directly mean lack of attention.

6. The definition is "your intention; what you intend to do." This sense doesn't fit the context of "out of mind."

7. The definition is "knowledge and intellectual ability." Again, not directly related to the idiom "out of mind."

Given the context and the examples, the phrase "putting the whole incident out of mind" is most closely related to sense 2, "recall or remembrance," as it implies Haney is trying to forget the incident, i.e., not have it come to mind.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "reminded" appears is: "The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before." Here, "reminded" is used to indicate that the hangover caused Haney to recall or remember something (where he had been the night before).

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "put in the mind of someone" with an example "Remind me to call Mother". This implies causing someone to remember or think about something.
   - **Sense 2**: "assist (somebody acting or reciting) by suggesting the next words of something forgotten or imperfectly learned" with synonyms "prompt, cue". This involves helping someone remember something they are supposed to say or do, typically in a performance or recitation context.

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context provided involves a hangover causing Haney to remember his whereabouts the previous night. This aligns with causing someone to remember or recall something, which matches **Sense 1**.
   - There's no indication in the context that Haney is acting, reciting, or needs assistance with something forgotten or imperfectly learned in the sense of a performance. Thus, **Sense 2** doesn't fit the context.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context and the definitions/examples provided, **Sense 1** is the most appropriate. The hangover is "putting in Haney's mind" where he had been, aligning with the definition of Sense 1.

5. **Returning the Answer in the Required Format**:
   - The candidate senses are indexed starting from 1. Since we've identified **Sense 1** as the correct interpretation, the index is 1.

The final answer is: {"sense_index": 1}

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "reminded" is used is: "The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned." Here, "reminded" is used to indicate that the hangover caused Haney to recall or think about his conversation with the strange man.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "put in the mind of someone" with an example "Remind me to call Mother". This implies causing someone to remember or think about something or someone.
   - **Sense 2**: "assist (somebody acting or reciting) by suggesting the next words of something forgotten or imperfectly learned" with synonyms "prompt, cue". This involves helping someone remember what to say or do next, typically in a performance or recitation context.

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context clearly indicates that the hangover caused Haney to remember his conversation. This aligns with the first sense, which involves putting something in someone's mind or causing them to remember something.
   - The second sense involves a more interactive or assistive context, such as prompting someone during a performance, which doesn't fit the given scenario.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context and the definitions, the usage of "reminded" in the sentence matches **Sense 1**: "put in the mind of someone". The hangover caused Haney to remember or think about his conversation.

5. **Indexed Sense Selection**:
   - The candidate senses are indexed as 1 and 2. Since the context matches the definition and usage of the first sense, the best indexed sense for "reminded" is **1**.

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

Target lemma: tenant
Target surface form: tenants
Context:
Haney watched the small but wiry man slip out the door quickly and silently, and felt relieved to see that nobody else seemed to notice his departure. Phil decided to stay a little longer, and as time passed it seemed as if the strange little man had never been there, but for the other glass on the table. Some time before midnight he returned to his apartment and hit the sack, putting the whole incident out of mind before he fell asleep. The next day, Sunday, the hangover reminded Haney where he had been the night before. The hangover in turn reminded him of his conversation with the weirdy, and he groaned. He went for more aspirin later in the day, and passed the surly landlord on the way -- he was still alive and scowling as usual, as if <t>tenants</t> were a burden in his life. Phil shrugged and ignored him.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a scenario where the protagonist, Haney (or Phil, as he's also referred to), interacts with a landlord. The landlord is described as "surly" and as if "tenants were a burden in his life." This context suggests that the term "tenants" refers to individuals who are renting or occupying properties owned by the landlord.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "someone who pays rent to use land or a building or a car that is owned by someone else." The synonym provided is "renter," and an example is given where "the landlord can evict a tenant who doesn't pay the rent." This sense aligns closely with the context, as it directly relates to the relationship between a landlord and those renting from him.
   - **Sense 2**: "a holder of buildings or lands by any kind of title (as ownership or lease)." This definition is broader and encompasses not just renters but potentially owners or leaseholders. While it could apply, the context specifically highlights the landlord-tenant relationship, focusing on the negative attitude of the landlord towards those renting from him.
   - **Sense 3**: "any occupant who dwells in a place." This sense is more general and could include tenants, but it's not limited to those with a rental agreement. It could refer to anyone living in a place, regardless of their legal or financial relationship to it.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that the landlord is dealing with people who are renting from him, as evidenced by his negative attitude towards them.
   - Sense 1 directly corresponds to this relationship, emphasizing the payment of rent and the potential for eviction, which fits the landlord-tenant dynamic described.
   - While Sense 3 could technically apply since tenants are occupants, the specific context provided emphasizes the rental relationship.

4. **Conclusion**: The most appropriate sense for "tenants" in the given context is Sense 1, as it directly relates to individuals renting from a landlord, aligning with the scenario described.

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

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

The sentence is: "...as if tenants were a burden in his life."

Here, "life" refers to the course of existence or the experiences and events that occur during the landlord's living. The phrase "a burden in his life" suggests that the tenants are a source of trouble or difficulty for the landlord, implying that it affects his mode of living or his daily experiences.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=life%1:26:01::** - "a characteristic state or mode of living" - This sense fits well because the sentence implies that tenants are a burden affecting the landlord's mode of living or his daily life.

2. Other senses, while related to "life," do not fit as well in this context. For example, senses related to the biological aspect of life, the period of being alive, or a biography don't directly apply to the given context.

Given the context and the examples, the most suitable definition is "a characteristic state or mode of living" because it directly relates to how the presence of tenants affects the landlord's daily life or his way of living.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the one corresponding to this definition.

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "ignored" is used is: "Phil shrugged and ignored him." The subject, Phil, is interacting with the surly landlord. The context suggests that Phil is deliberately not paying attention to or not responding to the landlord.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. refuse to acknowledge**: This involves intentionally not recognizing or not giving attention to someone or something, often with a connotation of deliberately snubbing.
   - **2. bar from attention or consideration**: This implies dismissing something or someone from one's mind or consideration.
   - **3. fail to notice**: This suggests not being aware of something or someone, often unintentionally.
   - **4. give little or no attention to**: This involves neglecting or not paying much attention to something or someone.
   - **5. be ignorant of or in the dark about**: This implies a lack of knowledge or awareness about something.

3. **Analyzing the Context and Candidate Senses**:

   - The synonyms and examples given for each sense help clarify the nuances. For instance, "disregard" and "neglect" suggest a deliberate or intentional action of not giving attention.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The action of Phil "shrugging and ignoring" the landlord suggests a deliberate action of not giving attention or not responding. This aligns with giving little or no attention to someone intentionally.
   - Sense 4 ("give little or no attention to") fits well as it involves neglecting or not paying much attention, which can be seen as a deliberate action in this context.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the analysis of the candidate senses, the best indexed sense for "ignored" is **4**.

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

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

The context is: "By Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly..."

The two candidate senses are:
1. definition=send via the postal service | synonyms=get off | examples=I'll mail you the check tomorrow
2. definition=cause to be directed or transmitted to another place | synonyms=post, send | examples=send me your latest results; I'll mail you the paper when it's written

The context involves Haney sending a check to his wife, which is a physical item typically sent through a postal or mailing service. The first sense specifically mentions sending via the postal service, which aligns with the typical understanding of mailing a check. The example given ("I'll mail you the check tomorrow") is particularly relevant as it directly involves mailing a check, similar to the context provided.

The second sense is broader and involves causing something to be directed or transmitted to another place. While this could technically encompass mailing a check, it's less specific to the action of using a postal service.

Given the context and the specifics of the action (sending a check), the most appropriate sense is the one that directly relates to sending via the postal service.

The first candidate sense matches this analysis.

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

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

The sentence is: "By Wednesday the landlord was still alive. Of course On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her"

The key part of the sentence for our analysis is: "Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly"

From the context, it's clear that "check" refers to a financial document or payment. The phrase "mailed the monthly check" strongly suggests a regular payment, and "for separate maintenance" indicates it's related to financial support, likely as part of a divorce or separation agreement.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A written order directing a bank to pay money - This matches the context of mailing a financial document for payment.
2. An appraisal of the state of affairs - This doesn't fit the context of mailing a check.
3. The bill in a restaurant - This doesn't fit as the context is about mailing a check, not being in a restaurant.
4. The state of inactivity following an interruption - This doesn't relate to the context.
5. Additional proof that something was believed - This doesn't fit the context.
6. The act of inspecting or verifying - Not relevant here.
7. A mark indicating that something has been noted or completed - Not relevant.
8. Something immaterial that interferes with or delays action or progress - Not relevant.
9. A mark left after a small piece has been chopped or broken off - Not relevant.
10. A textile pattern of squares or crossed lines - Not relevant.
11. The act of restraining power or action or limiting excess - Not relevant.
12. Obstructing an opponent in ice hockey - Not relevant.
13. (chess) a direct attack on an opponent's king - Not relevant.

The most appropriate definition is the first one: "a written order directing a bank to pay money." The context clearly indicates that "check" is being used to refer to a financial payment document sent to Haney's wife.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses a character, Haney, mailing a monthly check for "separate maintenance" to his wife, Lolly. This indicates a financial transaction between spouses who are not living together, suggesting a legal or marital separation context.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. activity involved in maintaining something in good working order**: This sense refers to upkeep or care of something, like a car or a building. The context doesn't directly relate to maintaining an object or property in good condition.
   - **2. means of maintenance of a family or group**: While this sense involves financial support, it's more general and doesn't directly imply a legal or marital context.
   - **3. court-ordered support paid by one spouse to another after they are separated**: This sense directly relates to alimony or financial support given by one spouse to another following separation, which fits the context of Haney mailing a check to his wife.
   - **4. the act of sustaining life by food or providing a means of subsistence**: This sense is about sustenance or sustentation and is too broad and not directly related to the marital or legal separation context.
   - **5. the unauthorized interference in a legal action**: This sense is related to "criminal maintenance" or "champerty" and is unrelated to the context provided.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "maintenance" refers to financial support from one spouse to another after separation.
   - Sense **3. court-ordered support paid by one spouse to another after they are separated** is the most relevant, as it directly corresponds to the context of Haney sending a check to his wife Lolly, implying they are separated.

4. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "maintenance" in the given context is **3**.

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

The sentence is: "On Thursday, Haney mailed the monthly check for separate maintenance to his wife Lolly, and wished the stranger could do something about her."

Here, "wished" is used to express a desire or hope regarding a specific situation or outcome related to "her" (presumably Lolly), implying that Haney is hoping the stranger can do something to help or affect her situation.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **hope for; have a wish** - This sense aligns with expressing a desire or hope for something to happen or be true. The example "I wish I could go home now" illustrates this.

2. **prefer or wish to do something** - This involves having a preference for doing something. The examples given are "Do you care to try this dish?" and "Would you like to come along to the movies?" which don't directly match the context of wishing for someone else to do something about a situation.

3. **make or express a wish** - This is a more general sense of wishing, as seen in "I wish that Christmas were over." It involves expressing a desire, which can be about various things, not limited to actions or states related to the subject themselves.

4. **feel or express a desire or hope concerning the future or fortune of** - This involves wishing well or having a certain hope for someone's future or situation. The synonym given is "wish well."

5. **order politely; express a wish for** - This involves making a polite request, as in expressing a wish for something.

6. **invoke upon** - This involves using "wish" in a more formal or old-fashioned way to express a desire or blessing upon someone, like "wish you a nice evening" or "bid farewell."

Given the context, Haney is expressing a desire or hope that the stranger could do something about his wife Lolly's situation. The closest sense is **make or express a wish** because it involves Haney expressing a desire or hope regarding a specific situation (that the stranger could do something about "her," presumably Lolly). This matches the general idea of expressing a wish, as in the example "I wish that Christmas were over," where a desire is being expressed.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "wished" in the given context is the third one.
