Target lemma: appreciation
Target surface form: appreciation
Context:
In a low voice, almost whispering, the man had asked Phil if he was happy with the way the landlord had been taken off his back. He made the mistake of answering in an offhand way, and instantly realized that his skepticism must have showed in his face or voice. Pete frowned slightly, then became sad and moody. Haney didn't want to encourage his company, but felt he ought to buy him a drink anyhow, to prevent possible trouble. But there was no trouble. The guy sulked over his drink, obviously upset by Haney's lack of <t>appreciation</t>. To break the uncomfortable silence, Haney began to talk.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=appreciation%1:09:00:: | definition=understanding of the nature or meaning or quality or magnitude of something | synonyms=grasp, hold | examples=he has a good grasp of accounting practices

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

The context describes a situation where a man, Pete, becomes upset because Phil (Haney) doesn't seem to appreciate his actions (taking care of the landlord issue). Haney tries to mitigate the situation by buying Pete a drink, but Pete remains upset, indicating he felt Haney didn't show enough gratitude or acknowledgment for his efforts.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **understanding of the nature or meaning or quality or magnitude of something** - This doesn't directly relate to the context of showing gratitude or acknowledgment for an action.
2. **delicate discrimination (especially of aesthetic values)** - This sense is more about having a refined sense of judgment, particularly in aesthetics, which doesn't fit the context.
3. **an expression of gratitude** - The context implies that Pete expected some form of acknowledgment or thanks from Haney for his actions, which aligns with this sense.
4. **a favorable judgment** - While related to having a positive view, this is more about admiration or approval rather than directly expressing gratitude.
5. **an increase in price or value** - This is unrelated to the context as it pertains to financial or economic appreciation.

Given the context, the most appropriate sense is related to expressing gratitude or acknowledgment. The sentence implies that Pete was upset because Haney didn't show enough appreciation for his efforts, which best aligns with **an expression of gratitude**.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "appreciation" in this context is sense_index 3.

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

The context is: "To break the uncomfortable silence, Haney began to talk."

Here, "break" is used in the context of ending or interrupting an uncomfortable silence by starting to talk. This action is intended to disrupt or terminate the silence, making the atmosphere more comfortable.

Let's examine the candidate senses that could potentially fit this context:

1. sense_key=break%2:30:03:: | definition=terminate | synonyms=interrupt | examples=She interrupted her pregnancy; break a lucky streak
   - This sense involves terminating or interrupting something, which aligns with the action of breaking the silence.

2. sense_key=break%2:41:01:: | definition=interrupt a continued activity | synonyms=break away | examples=She had broken with the traditional patterns
   - This sense is about interrupting a continued activity, which could metaphorically apply to breaking silence.

3. Other senses relate to physical breaking, changing state, or other actions not directly related to the context of interrupting silence.

Given the context and the definitions, the most suitable sense is the one that involves interrupting or terminating something, in this case, "uncomfortable silence."

The best match is sense_key=break%2:30:03::, which corresponds to the definition "terminate" with synonyms including "interrupt." This matches the action described in the context.

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

The context describes a situation where Haney is trying to navigate a potentially awkward social interaction with someone named Pete. The narrative mentions that after Haney responds in an offhand manner, Pete becomes sad and moody, leading to an uncomfortable silence. To break this silence, Haney starts talking.

The word "uncomfortable" here is used to describe the silence between Haney and Pete. The silence is not physically uncomfortable but rather creates a sense of awkwardness or mental discomfort due to the tension or unease in their interaction.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "uncomfortable" as conducive to or feeling mental discomfort, with examples like "this kind of life can prove disruptive and uncomfortable" and "the uncomfortable truth." This sense aligns with the context, as the silence is awkward and creates mental discomfort.
2. The second sense defines "uncomfortable" as providing or experiencing physical discomfort, with examples like "an uncomfortable chair" and "an uncomfortable day in the hot sun." This sense does not fit the context, as the silence is not described in terms of physical discomfort.

Given the context and the definitions, the word "uncomfortable" is used to describe a situation that is mentally or socially awkward, not physically uncomfortable. Therefore, the best sense is the one related to mental discomfort.

The sense index for "conducive to or feeling mental discomfort" is 1.

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

The sentence is: "To break the uncomfortable silence, Haney began to talk."

Here, "began" is used in the context of Haney starting to speak or talk to break the silence.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is about taking the first step in carrying out an action. While it could fit, it's more about actions than speaking.
2. The second sense refers to having a beginning in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense. This is more about the start of something abstract or a period.
3. The third sense is about setting something in motion or causing it to start. This involves an external action causing something else to begin.
4. The fourth sense is directly related to beginning to speak or say something. The example given is "he began," which matches the context of Haney starting to talk.
5. The other senses either relate to the beginning of a series, a temporal event, or achieving something, which don't directly fit the context of starting to talk.

Given the context, "Haney began to talk" fits best with the fourth sense, which is about beginning to speak or say something.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "began" in this context is the one corresponding to "begin to speak or say."

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a scene where Haney buys a drink for Pete (also referred to as "the guy") to prevent trouble because Pete seems upset. As they drink, Haney starts talking to break the silence and eventually begins to complain bitterly about his wife. The context suggests an informal setting where Haney is expressing his discontent or unhappiness.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: The definition is "express complaints, discontent, displeasure, or unhappiness." The synonyms provided are "kick, plain, sound off, quetch, kvetch," and an example is "My mother complains all day; She has a lot to kick about." This sense aligns with the context where Haney is informally expressing his discontent about his wife.
   - **Sense 2**: The definition is "make a formal accusation; bring a formal charge." An example given is "The plaintiff's lawyer complained that the defendant had physically abused his client." This sense implies a formal or legal context, which doesn't match the scenario described.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context is informal and involves expressing discontent or unhappiness about a personal matter (Haney's wife), **Sense 1** is the most appropriate. The action of complaining is not formal or related to a legal accusation but rather an expression of personal dissatisfaction.
   - The synonyms and examples provided for Sense 1 ("kick, plain, sound off, quetch, kvetch" and "My mother complains all day") further support this choice as they reflect informal complaining.

4. **Conclusion**: The target word "complaining" in the given context best matches **Sense 1**.

The response should be in the format: {"sense_index": 1}.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a scene where Haney buys a drink for Pete (also referred to as "the guy") to prevent trouble because Pete seems upset. As they drink, Haney starts talking to break the silence and eventually begins to complain bitterly about his wife. The context suggests an informal setting where Haney is expressing his discontent or unhappiness.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: The definition is "express complaints, discontent, displeasure, or unhappiness." The synonyms provided are "kick, plain, sound off, quetch, kvetch," and an example is "My mother complains all day; She has a lot to kick about." This sense aligns with the context where Haney is informally expressing his discontent about his wife.
   - **Sense 2**: The definition is "make a formal accusation; bring a formal charge." An example given is "The plaintiff's lawyer complained that the defendant had physically abused his client." This sense implies a formal or legal context, which doesn't match the scenario described.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context is informal and involves expressing discontent or unhappiness about a personal matter (Haney's wife), **Sense 1** is the most appropriate. The action of complaining is not formal or related to a legal accusation but rather an expression of personal dissatisfaction.
   - The synonyms and examples provided for Sense 1 ("kick, plain, sound off, quetch, kvetch" and "My mother complains all day") further support this choice as they reflect informal complaining.

4. **Conclusion**: The target word "complaining" in the given context best matches **Sense 1**.

The response should be in the format: {"sense_index": 1}.

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

The context is: "He was on the subject for ten minutes or so when he noticed the renewed interest in his listener -- it showed in the alert face and the suddenly bright eyes."

1. The first sense is defined as "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" with synonyms like detect, observe, find, and discover. The example given is "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water." This sense fits well with the context because Haney becomes aware of a change in his listener's demeanor, which can be likened to detecting or observing something.

2. The second sense is "notice or perceive" with synonyms like mark and note. The example is "She noted that someone was following her." This sense also fits the context as Haney notices or perceives the renewed interest in his listener.

3. The third sense involves "make or write a comment on" and is not relevant to the context because Haney is not making a comment; he is observing a change.

4. The fourth sense is about "express recognition of the presence or existence of, or acquaintance with" and involves acknowledging someone or something. This does not fit the context because Haney is not expressing recognition or acknowledgement to someone else; he is simply observing a change in his listener.

Given the context, both the first and second senses seem plausible because they both involve becoming aware of something. However, the second sense ("notice or perceive") is more directly related to the act of noticing or becoming aware of something without necessarily implying a deeper investigation or determination of a fact, which aligns well with Haney noticing the change in his listener's interest.

The best match is the second sense.

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

The sentence is: "...it showed in the alert face and the suddenly bright eyes."

Here, "showed" is used to indicate that something (likely the interest or attention of the listener) became visible or apparent in the listener's facial expression.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Give an exhibition of to an interested audience - This doesn't fit the context as "showed" isn't related to giving an exhibition.
2. Establish the validity of something - This sense doesn't apply as there's no validation or proof being discussed.
3. Provide evidence for - This is a plausible sense as "showed" could mean providing evidence of the listener's interest.
4. Make visible or noticeable - This sense is close, as it involves making something apparent.
5. Show in, or as in, a picture - The context doesn't relate to depicting something in a picture.
6. Give expression to - While related to expressing something, this sense is more about conveying emotions or feelings directly, which isn't the exact fit here.
7. Indicate a place, direction, person, or thing - This doesn't directly apply to the context of showing interest through facial expressions.
8. Be or become visible or noticeable - This sense fits well as it directly relates to something becoming apparent or visible, like the interest in the listener's face.
9. Indicate a certain reading - This is more related to gauges and instruments, not applicable here.
10. Give evidence of, as of records - While related to providing evidence, it's more specific to records, which isn't the context.
11. Take (someone) to their seats - This is unrelated to the context.
12. Finish third or better in a horse or dog race - Completely unrelated to the given context.

Between senses 3, 4, 6, and 8, which all could potentially fit, sense 8 ("be or become visible or noticeable") is the most appropriate. The sentence implies that the renewed interest became visible or noticeable in the listener's face and eyes. The synonym "show up" and the example "His good upbringing really shows" support this interpretation, as it aligns with the idea of something becoming apparent.

Thus, the best indexed sense for "showed" in the given context is sense 8.

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

The context describes a scene where Haney is talking to a stranger, and he notices a renewed interest in his listener, which is indicated by the "alert face and the suddenly bright eyes." This suggests that the listener has become more attentive or engaged.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "alert" as engaged in or accustomed to close observation, with synonyms like "watchful." The examples given include being caught by alert cops or spotting an opportunity. This sense implies a state of being vigilant or observant.

2. The second sense describes "alert" as quick and energetic, with synonyms such as "brisk," "lively," "merry," "rattling," "snappy," and "spanking." The examples provided include having a brisk walk or a lively gait. This sense focuses on the aspect of being energetic or lively.

3. The third sense defines "alert" as mentally perceptive and responsive, with synonyms like "alive" and "awake." The examples include having an alert mind or being alert to problems. This sense emphasizes being aware or responsive to one's surroundings or issues.

Given the context, the description of the listener's "alert face and the suddenly bright eyes" suggests a change in the listener's state to being more attentive or engaged. The most relevant aspect here is the listener becoming more aware or responsive, which aligns with being "mentally perceptive and responsive."

Therefore, the best sense for "alert" in this context is the third one, which corresponds to being "mentally perceptive and responsive."

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

The sentence is: "...the renewed interest in his listener -- it showed in the alert face and the suddenly bright eyes."

Here, "bright eyes" is associated with "renewed interest," indicating a change in the listener's demeanor or expression that suggests engagement or attention.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Emitting or reflecting light readily or in large amounts - This sense typically refers to light sources or reflective surfaces, which doesn't directly apply to the context of "eyes" unless describing their sparkle or liveliness.
2. Having striking color - While "bright" can describe vibrant colors, the context here is more about the expression or state of the eyes rather than their color.
3. Characterized by quickness and ease in learning - This sense refers to intelligence, which isn't directly related to the physical appearance or expression of "eyes."
4. Having lots of light - This sense is about the environment or setting being well-lit, not directly applicable to the description of "eyes."
5. Made smooth and bright by or as if by rubbing; reflecting a sheen or glow - This could potentially describe eyes if they are shiny or lively, but it's more about the physical appearance or sheen.
6. Splendid - This is a broader sense that could apply to various contexts, including performance or historical significance, not directly to the expression of "eyes."
7. Not made dim or less bright - This sense is about maintaining light intensity, not directly applicable to the context.
8. Clear and sharp and ringing - This describes sound, not relevant to "eyes."
9. Characterized by happiness or gladness - "Bright eyes" can be an idiomatic expression indicating happiness, interest, or alertness.
10. Full of promise - This sense is more about future prospects or potential, not directly related to the immediate expression or state of "eyes."

Given the context, "bright eyes" is most likely indicating a lively or engaged expression, which aligns with being "characterized by happiness or gladness" (sense 9). The expression "bright faces" is given as an example under this sense, and "bright eyes" can similarly suggest a positive or engaged state.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "bright" in this context is sense 9.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "paused" is used is: "He was on the subject for ten minutes or so when he noticed the renewed interest in his listener -- it showed in the alert face and the suddenly bright eyes. When he paused to moisten his throat, the stranger broke in." Here, Haney is talking about his wife and pauses to moisten his throat before continuing, but the stranger interrupts him.

2. **Understanding the Word "paused" in Context**: In this context, "paused" means that Haney stopped talking temporarily to moisten his throat. The action of talking was interrupted temporarily.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "interrupt temporarily an activity before continuing" with synonyms "hesitate" and examples like "The speaker paused". This definition aligns with the context where Haney stops talking (interrupting his activity of talking) to moisten his throat before potentially continuing.
   - **Sense 2**: "cease an action temporarily" with synonyms "intermit, break" and examples like "We pause for station identification; let's break for lunch". This definition also suggests a temporary stop, which fits the context.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Both senses seem to fit the context as they both imply a temporary cessation of an activity. However, the key is to understand the nuance between "interrupt temporarily an activity before continuing" and "cease an action temporarily".
   - The first sense emphasizes the intention to continue the activity after the pause, which is somewhat implied but not directly relevant because Haney's continuation is interrupted by the stranger.
   - The second sense is more about stopping an action temporarily, which is a more general interpretation that fits the given context well.

5. **Decision**:
   - Upon closer inspection, the action of Haney pausing to moisten his throat is more aligned with temporarily ceasing an action (talking), which is best described by **Sense 2**. The example "let's break for lunch" illustrates a similar temporary cessation of activity.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "moisten" appears is: "When he paused to moisten his throat, the stranger broke in." Here, the subject is talking and then pauses to moisten his throat before continuing. This action is related to making his throat wet or more comfortable, likely by drinking or licking his lips.

2. **Understanding the WordNet Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "make moist" with synonyms "wash, dampen" and an example "The dew moistened the meadows." This implies making something damp or wet.
   - **Sense 2**: "moisten with fine drops" with a synonym "drizzle" and an example "drizzle the meat with melted butter." This involves applying or sprinkling something in fine drops.

3. **Applying Context to Senses**:
   - The action of moistening the throat is most likely related to making it wet or comfortable, possibly by drinking or some similar action. This aligns more closely with the general idea of making something moist.
   - The specific action of moistening the throat doesn't directly involve drizzling or applying fine drops, as one might do with food.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - Given the context, the most appropriate action related to "moisten" is making the throat wet or more comfortable, likely by taking a drink. This matches **Sense 1: make moist**.

5. **Returning the Answer**:
   - The first sense listed is "moisten%2:30:00::", which corresponds to the definition "make moist." Therefore, the best indexed sense for "moisten" in the given context is **1**.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a situation where Haney is interacting with someone he apparently doesn't know well or at all, referred to as "the guy" initially and later as "the stranger." The conversation starts awkwardly but progresses as Haney begins to talk and share his personal issues, including complaints about his wife.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "stranger" is used to refer to the person Haney is interacting with. At the beginning of the passage, this person is described as "his company" and "the guy," indicating that Haney doesn't know him well or that he is not a familiar figure to Haney.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" with synonyms like "alien" and "unknown." This sense tends to imply someone who is not just unknown but possibly doesn't fit in or is foreign to the environment.
   - **Sense 2**: "an individual that one is not acquainted with." This sense directly refers to someone with whom one is not familiar or has not met before.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context doesn't strongly suggest that the person is an "alien" or someone who doesn't belong in the environment (the bar or social setting). The focus is more on the fact that Haney doesn't know him.
   - The interaction between Haney and the stranger indicates they are not acquainted. Haney starts talking to break the silence, and the conversation evolves naturally from there.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context, **Sense 2** ("an individual that one is not acquainted with") fits better because it directly addresses the lack of acquaintance between Haney and the person he's talking to. The narrative emphasizes their initial unfamiliarity and the development of their interaction.

6. **Returning the Answer**:
   - The best indexed sense is **2**.

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

The sentence is: "But why pay her bills? If she runs around with other men, and if you hate her as you say, why not just divorce her?"

The context is about a man complaining about his wife and the listener suggesting that he should divorce her instead of continuing to financially support her.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

1. Give money, usually in exchange for goods or services.
2. Cancel or discharge a debt.
3. Do or give something to somebody in return.
4. Discharge or settle.

The action of "paying her bills" involves giving money for goods or services she has used or is using. This matches closely with sense 1: "give money, usually in exchange for goods or services."

Now, comparing the relevant options:
- Sense 1 fits the context as it involves giving money for her bills, which are likely for goods or services she has used.
- Sense 2 (cancel or discharge a debt) and Sense 4 (discharge or settle) could be considered if the context was about paying off a debt or settling an obligation directly, but "pay her bills" is more about paying for her expenses rather than discharging a debt directly to her.
- Sense 3 (do or give something to somebody in return) doesn't directly apply as the context is not about reciprocating something to her.

Given the context and the examples, the most suitable sense is Sense 1, as it directly relates to giving money for goods or services.

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

Context:
The guy sulked over his drink, obviously upset by Haney's lack of appreciation. To break the uncomfortable silence, Haney began to talk. In time, and two drinks later, he was complaining bitterly about his wife, He was on the subject for ten minutes or so when he noticed the renewed interest in his listener -- it showed in the alert face and the suddenly bright eyes. When he paused to moisten his throat, the stranger broke in. "But why pay her bills? If she runs around with other men, and if you hate her as you <t>say</t>, why not just divorce her "? Haney scowled.

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

The sentence is: "If she runs around with other men, and if you hate her as you say, why not just divorce her?"

Here, "say" is used in the context of reporting or maintaining something that Haney has previously stated or felt. The speaker is referring back to Haney's complaint about his wife, specifically his statement that he hates her.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Express in words** - While "say" does involve expressing in words, this sense is somewhat generic and doesn't fully capture the nuance of referring back to a previous statement or feeling.

2. **Report or maintain** - This sense fits well because Haney is reporting or maintaining his hatred for his wife, as previously expressed.

3. **Express a supposition** - This doesn't fit well because the context doesn't suggest that Haney is supposing something; rather, he's expressing a sentiment or state of being.

4. **Have or contain a certain wording or form** - This doesn't apply directly because the context isn't about the wording or form of something written or spoken.

5. **Give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority** - This doesn't fit because Haney isn't giving instructions or directing someone with authority.

6. **Speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way** - This is more about the manner of speaking, which isn't the focus here.

7. **Communicate or express nonverbally** - The context involves verbal communication, not nonverbal.

8. **Utter aloud** - While Haney did utter his sentiments aloud, this sense doesn't directly relate to the act of referencing a previous statement.

9. **State as one's opinion or judgement; declare** - This is plausible because Haney is stating his feelings or judgement about his wife.

10. **Recite or repeat a fixed text** - This doesn't apply because Haney isn't reciting or repeating a fixed text.

11. **Indicate** - This is more about something (like a sign or signal) indicating something else, which isn't the case here.

Given the context, the best fit is **2. Report or maintain** because Haney is being referenced as having previously stated or maintained that he hates his wife. The synonyms "allege" and "aver" support this interpretation, as they imply stating or asserting something.

The closest matching indexed sense is thus related to reporting or maintaining a statement or feeling.
