The sentence is: "He was beginning to feel woolly."

Here, "feel woolly" is an idiomatic expression that means to feel unwell, confused, or disoriented, often due to being tired or possibly due to some external influence like alcohol or drugs. However, in this context, it seems more related to being tired or not thinking clearly.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Undergo an emotional sensation or be in a particular state of mind. (e.g., "She felt resentful")
2. Come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds. (e.g., "I feel that he doesn't like me")
3. Perceive by a physical sensation. (e.g., "He felt the wind")
4. Be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state. (e.g., "She felt tired")
5. Have a feeling or perception about oneself. (e.g., "She felt small")
6. Undergo passive experience of. (e.g., "We felt the effects of inflation")
7. Be felt or perceived in a certain way. (e.g., "The ground feels shaky")

10. Examine (a body part) by palpation. (e.g., "The nurse palpated the patient's stomach")
11. Find by testing or cautious exploration. (e.g., "He felt his way around the dark room")
12. Produce a certain impression. (e.g., "It feels nice to be home again")
13. Pass one's hands over the sexual organs of. (e.g., "He felt the girl in the movie theater")

The phrase "feel woolly" is most closely related to sense 4, "be conscious of a physical, mental, or emotional state," as it describes a state of being, in this case, a state of mental or physical discomfort or confusion.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence context is: "Phil rubbed his forehead wearily. He was beginning to feel woolly." This implies that Phil is experiencing a state of being unwell or disoriented, as indicated by his action of rubbing his forehead wearily.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "woolly" is used to describe how Phil is feeling. The literal meaning of "woolly" relates to something covered in wool or having a woolly texture. However, in this context, it's used figuratively.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. Having a fluffy character or appearance**: This sense doesn't fit the context as it describes a visual or tactile quality, not a state of being or feeling.
   - **2. Confused and vague; used especially of thinking**: This sense aligns with the context. Phil is feeling unwell or disoriented ("rubbed his forehead wearily"), suggesting his thinking or state of mind is affected.
   - **3. Covered with dense often matted or curly hairs**: This is a literal description and doesn't fit the context of describing a feeling or state of mind.
   - **4. Covered with dense cottony hairs or hairlike filaments**: Similar to sense 3, this is a literal description that doesn't apply to the context of describing a person's state of being.

4. **Synonyms and Examples for Relevant Senses**: For sense 2, synonyms like "addled," "befuddled," "muddled," and "muzzy" all relate to being confused or disoriented, which fits the context of Phil's condition.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the analysis of the candidate senses, the most appropriate sense for "woolly" is the one describing a state of being confused or vague, particularly in relation to thinking or mental clarity.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is **2**, corresponding to the definition "confused and vague; used especially of thinking."

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is about a conversation between two individuals, Phil and another person whose gender isn't specified but is referred to as "the guy" by Phil. The conversation seems to be about some form of exchange or favor, and Phil is deciding how to react to the other person's offer.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "guy," which is used to refer to a person.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: Refers to an informal term for a youth or man. The synonyms provided are "cat," "hombre," and "bozo." The examples given include "a nice guy" and "the guy's only doing it for some doll." These examples and synonyms suggest an informal usage referring to a male person.
   - **Sense 2**: Relates to an effigy of Guy Fawkes burned on a bonfire on Guy Fawkes Day. This is a specific historical and cultural reference that doesn't seem directly related to the context provided.
   - **Sense 3**: Defines a cable, wire, or rope used to brace something, like a tent. The synonyms are "guy cable," "guy wire," and "guy rope." This sense is related to a structural support or stabilizing element.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context clearly refers to a person, not an object or an effigy. So, **Sense 3** can be ruled out as it refers to a structural element like a cable or rope.
   - **Sense 2** is also not relevant as there's no mention or implication of Guy Fawkes Day or any related activities in the context.
   - **Sense 1** fits perfectly as it refers to an informal term for a male person, aligning with how "guy" is used in the given context to refer to the person Phil is interacting with.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the most appropriate sense for "guy" is **Sense 1**, which corresponds to the first candidate sense listed.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for the target word "guy" is: {"sense_index": 1}.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence context is: "Maybe it would be better to humor the guy and then make an exit." Here, "exit" is used in the context of leaving a situation or a place, likely to avoid further engagement or interaction.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "an opening that permits escape or release" with synonyms like "issue", "outlet", "way out". This sense refers to a physical or metaphorical opening or passage that allows one to escape or leave. While it relates to the concept of exiting, it is more about the means or the opening rather than the act itself.
   - **Sense 2**: "euphemistic expressions for death" with synonyms like "passing", "loss", "departure", "expiration", "going", "release". This sense is clearly unrelated to the context provided, as there's no indication that "exit" refers to death.
   - **Sense 3**: "the act of going out". This sense directly refers to the action of leaving a place or situation.

3. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context suggests that "exit" is being used to mean the act of leaving a situation or place, which aligns with "the act of going out".
   - The phrase "make an exit" is a common idiom that means to leave a place, situation, or event, which matches Sense 3.

4. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the most appropriate sense for "exit" is Sense 3, "the act of going out".

Therefore, the best indexed sense for the target word "exit" in the given context is: {"sense_index": 3}.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence is part of a dialogue where a character, Phil, is interacting with someone who is offering to do something for him without charging. Phil is hesitant and somewhat dismissive at first but decides to humor the person. The context mentions "a few people" in relation to Phil's situation or possibly his concerns or expectations.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: Refers to any group of human beings collectively. Example: "old people"; "at least 200 people in the audience".
   - **Sense 2**: Relates to the body of citizens of a state or country. Synonym: "citizenry". Example: "the Spanish people".
   - **Sense 3**: Pertains to members of a family line. Example: "his people have been farmers for generations".
   - **Sense 4**: Refers to the common people generally. Synonyms: "multitude, masses, mass, hoi polloi, the great unwashed". Example: "separate the warriors from the mass"; "power to the people".

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context does not specifically refer to citizens of a state or country, so **Sense 2** seems less likely.
   - There's no indication that "people" refers to members of a family line, making **Sense 3** unlikely.
   - The context also doesn't directly imply that "people" refers to the common people generally in a way that contrasts with a specific group or elite, which makes **Sense 4** less likely.
   - The mention of "a few people" suggests a general group of human beings, which aligns with **Sense 1**.

4. **Conclusion**: Given the context and the definitions/examples provided, the most appropriate sense for "people" is **Sense 1**, as it refers to a general group of human beings collectively.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for the target word "people" is: {"sense_index": 1}

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

The sentence is: "All right ", he conceded finally, "if you must know, I don't get along with the landlord."

Here, "conceded" is used to indicate that the character, Phil, is admitting or yielding to something (in this case, sharing information about not getting along with his landlord) that he might not have wanted to share or admit initially.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense involves admitting to a wrongdoing. While Phil is sharing something negative about his relationship with the landlord, the context doesn't explicitly indicate that he's admitting to a wrongdoing.

2. The second sense is about being willing to concede or yield, often used in the context of granting a point in an argument or discussion. The example "I grant you this much" suggests a similar context where one is acknowledging or yielding to a certain extent.

3. The third sense involves giving over or surrendering something to the physical control of another, which doesn't directly apply to the context of admitting or sharing information.

4. The fourth sense is about acknowledging defeat, typically used in competitive contexts like elections.

Given the context, Phil is yielding to the other person's insistence on knowing something ("if you must know"), and he shares his issue with the landlord. This action aligns most closely with being willing to concede or yield to the other person's demand for information, which matches the second sense.

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

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

The sentence is: "He keeps riding me because I like to listen to the radio and sing while I'm taking a bath."

Here, "keeps" is used to indicate that the landlord continues to ride or nag the speaker about something. The context suggests an ongoing action that is persistent or repetitive.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. keep in a certain state, position, or activity - This sense involves maintaining something or someone in a particular condition. While it could fit grammatically, it doesn't perfectly capture the nuance of "continues to" or "persistently does something."

2. continue a certain state, condition, or activity - This sense directly aligns with the usage of "keeps" in the sentence, as it indicates the continuation of an action (riding me).

3. retain possession of - This doesn't fit the context as "keeps riding" doesn't relate to retaining possession.

4. stop (someone or something) from doing something or being in a certain state - This is the opposite of what's happening in the sentence.

5. conform one's action or practice to - This doesn't match the context.

6. stick to correctly or closely - While related to maintaining something, it doesn't directly fit the context of continuing an action.

7. look after; be the keeper of; have charge of - Not relevant to the context.

8. maintain by writing regular records - Not relevant.

9. supply with room and board - Not relevant.

10. allow to remain in a place or position or maintain a property or feature - Not directly relevant.

11. supply with necessities and support - Not relevant.

12. fail to spoil or rot - Not relevant as it pertains to food.

13. behave as expected during holidays or rites - Not relevant.

14. keep under control; keep in check - Not directly relevant.

15. maintain in safety from injury, harm, or danger - Not relevant.

16. raise - Not relevant.

17. retain rights to - Not relevant.

18. store or keep customarily - Not relevant.

19. have as a supply - Not relevant.

20. maintain for use and service - Not relevant.

21. hold and prevent from leaving - Not relevant.

22. prevent (food) from rotting - Not relevant.

The most fitting definition is "continue a certain state, condition, or activity" as it matches the usage of "keeps" in the context of continuing to ride or nag someone.

The best indexed sense for "keeps" in the given context corresponds to sense_index 2.

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

The sentence is: "He keeps riding me because I like to listen to the radio and sing while I'm taking a bath."

Here, "like" is used in the context of enjoying or having a preference for doing something (listening to the radio and singing while bathing).

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **prefer or wish to do something**: This sense is related to having a preference or desire to do something. The example given is "Do you care to try this dish?" or "Would you like to come along to the movies?" The context provided fits this description as it implies the subject enjoys or prefers doing something.

2. **find enjoyable or agreeable**: The examples given are "I like jogging; She likes to read Russian novels." This sense is about enjoying an activity.

3. **be fond of**: The example is "I like my nephews." This implies having affection for someone.

4. **feel about or towards; consider, evaluate, or regard**: The example is "How did you like the President's speech last night?" This involves having an opinion or feeling towards something.

5. **want to have**: The example given is "I'd like a beer now!" This is about desiring to possess or have something.

The context suggests that "like" is used to indicate a preference or enjoyment for an activity (listening to the radio and singing). Both senses 1 and 2 seem plausible because they relate to enjoying or preferring to do something. However, sense 2 ("find enjoyable or agreeable") directly corresponds to enjoying an activity, which aligns with the context.

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

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

The context is: "He keeps riding me because I like to listen to the radio and sing while I'm taking a bath."

1. The first sense is defined as "hear with intention" with the example "Listen to the sound of this cello." This sense implies actively directing one's attention to hear something. The context suggests that the subject is intentionally hearing or paying attention to the radio, so this sense is plausible.

2. The second sense is "listen and pay attention" with synonyms "hear, take heed" and examples like "Listen to your father; We must hear the expert before we make a decision." This sense involves not just hearing but also giving attention or consideration to what is being said or heard. While the subject is listening to the radio, the primary action is not necessarily about paying attention to the content in a deep or considered manner but rather about the act of hearing it.

3. The third sense is "pay close attention to; give heed to" with synonyms "heed, mind" and the example "Heed the advice of the old men." This sense implies a deeper level of attention or consideration, often in response to advice or a warning.

Given the context, the subject is enjoying the radio while bathing, not necessarily deeply engaging with or heeding its content. The act of "listen[ing] to the radio" is more about the action of hearing with intention rather than deeply paying attention or heeding.

The most appropriate sense is the first one, as it directly relates to the act of intentionally hearing something (in this case, the radio), without necessarily implying a deeper level of engagement or heeding.

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

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

The context is: "He keeps riding me because I like to listen to the radio and sing while I'm taking a bath."

1. The first sense is defined as "medium for communication" with synonyms like "radiocommunication" and "wireless." This sense is more about the general concept of radio communication rather than a device or the act of listening.

2. The second sense refers to "an electronic receiver that detects and demodulates and amplifies transmitted signals" with synonyms such as "radio receiver," "receiving set," "radio set," "tuner," and "wireless." This definition points towards a device used for receiving broadcasts.

3. The third sense is "a communication system based on broadcasting electromagnetic waves" with "wireless" as a synonym. This sense is about the system or technology behind radio broadcasting.

In the given context, the subject is "listen[ing] to the radio," which implies the act of receiving and playing back broadcasts. The most relevant device or concept here is the one that is being used to listen to broadcasts.

The action of "listen[ing] to the radio" directly relates to using a device that can receive and play radio broadcasts. Thus, the most appropriate sense is the one that refers to the device used for this purpose.

The second sense ("an electronic receiver that detects and demodulates and amplifies transmitted signals") directly corresponds to a device (like a radio receiver) that is used for listening to broadcasts. This matches the context provided.

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

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

The sentence is: "He says the neighbors complain, but I don't believe it."

Here, "says" is used to report what someone else (the landlord) has stated or claimed. The context indicates that the speaker is expressing skepticism or disbelief about the claim made by the landlord.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Express in words** - While "says" does involve expressing something in words, this sense is too broad and doesn't capture the nuance of reporting or claiming something.

2. **Report or maintain** - This sense fits well because "says" is used here to report what the landlord has alleged or claimed (that the neighbors complain).

3. **Express a supposition** - This doesn't fit well because the sentence is not hypothesizing or supposing something; it's reporting a claim.

4. **Have or contain a certain wording or form** - This sense is more relevant to written or printed text, not to someone's spoken claim.

5. **Give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority** - The context doesn't indicate that the landlord is giving instructions through the speaker.

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

7. **Communicate or express nonverbally** - The sentence is about verbal communication, not nonverbal.

8. **Utter aloud** - While "says" involves uttering, the focus is on the content of what's being said rather than the act of uttering aloud.

9. **State as one's opinion or judgement; declare** - This is close, but "says" here is more about reporting a claim than stating an opinion or judgment.

10. **Recite or repeat a fixed text** - The context doesn't involve reciting or repeating a fixed text.

11. **Indicate** - This sense is more relevant to non-verbal indicators or signs, like a clock indicating time.

Given the context and the analysis, the best fit for "says" is sense 2, **report or maintain**, as it accurately captures the act of reporting or alleging something that someone else has said.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is 2.

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

The context is about a person who is having an issue with their landlord because they like to listen to the radio and sing while taking a bath. The landlord claims that the neighbors complain about this, but the person doesn't believe it because they think that if it bothers the neighbors, they should tell them directly.

The two candidate senses for "neighbors" are:
1. A person who lives (or is located) near another.
2. A nearby object of the same kind.

Let's examine the context and the candidate senses:

- The context involves people living nearby who might be disturbed by the noise.
- The term "neighbors" is used in the context of people potentially complaining about the noise made by the protagonist.
- The synonyms provided for both senses are the same ("neighbour"), but the definitions and examples differ.

For sense 1, the definition is "a person who lives (or is located) near another," which fits the context because it refers to people living nearby who could be affected by the noise.

For sense 2, the definition is "a nearby object of the same kind," with examples like cities being neighbors to each other or celestial bodies being neighbors. This sense doesn't fit the context as well because it refers to objects or places rather than people.

Given the context, the term "neighbors" clearly refers to people living nearby who might be disturbed by the noise. Therefore, the best sense is the one that refers to people living near another.

The correct sense index is 1.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence context is about a person discussing their issues with their landlord. The person mentions that the landlord accuses them of disturbing the neighbors by listening to the radio and singing while taking a bath. The person defends themselves by saying the neighbors never directly complained to them.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The target word is "complain," and it is used in the sentence: "He says the neighbors complain, but I don't believe it."

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **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." This sense aligns with the general act of expressing dissatisfaction or discomfort.
   - **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 implies a more formal or legal context of complaining.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - In the given context, the neighbors are said to "complain" about the person's behavior. The context does not imply a formal or legal setting but rather an informal expression of dissatisfaction or discomfort.
   - The use of "complain" here relates to the neighbors expressing their discontent, presumably to the landlord.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given that the context involves an informal expression of dissatisfaction (neighbors being bothered by the noise and presumably telling the landlord about it), **Sense 1** is the most appropriate. It matches the context of expressing discontent or unhappiness without implying a formal accusation.

6. **Returning the Answer**:
   - The first sense provided is indexed as "1," so according to the instructions, 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 "believe" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "He says the neighbors complain, but I don't believe it."

Here, the speaker is expressing doubt about the claim made by the landlord that the neighbors complain about the noise. The context suggests that the speaker is not accepting the landlord's statement as true.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "accept as true; take to be true" with examples like "I believed his report." This sense fits the context because the speaker is not accepting the landlord's claim as true.

2. The second sense involves judging or regarding something in a certain way, with synonyms like "think," "consider," and "conceive." While related, this sense doesn't directly fit the context of accepting or not accepting something as true.

3. The third sense is about being confident about something, with "trust" as a synonym. The context doesn't directly indicate confidence or trust; rather, it indicates doubt.

4. The fourth sense is related to following a credo or having a faith, which doesn't fit the context.

5. The fifth sense involves crediting someone with veracity, which is not directly relevant because the subject is not a person but a claim or statement ("it").

Given the context and the definitions, the speaker is expressing disbelief in the landlord's claim, which aligns with not accepting something as true. Thus, the most appropriate sense is the first one, which is about accepting something as true.

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

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

The sentence is: "Why don't they tell me themselves if it bothers them?"

Here, the speaker is questioning why the neighbors don't directly inform or communicate with him if they are bothered by his actions (singing while taking a bath).

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **express in words** - While "tell" does involve expressing something in words, this sense is somewhat generic and doesn't fully capture the nuance of directly informing someone.
2. **let something be known** - This sense involves making information known, which is close to what's happening in the sentence. However, it's a bit broad.
3. **narrate or give a detailed account of** - The context doesn't suggest that the neighbors are being asked to narrate a story or give a detailed account; rather, they are being asked to directly communicate their complaint.
4. **give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority** - This doesn't fit the context as the neighbors are not being directed to do something.
5. **discern or comprehend** - This sense doesn't fit as the sentence is about the neighbors communicating with the speaker, not about understanding or discerning something.
6. **inform positively and with certainty and confidence** - While informing is involved, the emphasis here is on the manner of informing (positively, with certainty, and confidence), which isn't the primary focus of the sentence.
7. **give evidence** - The context doesn't imply that the neighbors are giving evidence; rather, they are being asked to directly communicate if something bothers them.
8. **mark as different** - This sense is unrelated to the context of communicating or informing.

The closest sense to the usage in the sentence is **let something be known** (sense_key=tell%2:32:00::), as it involves making information known directly to the speaker. This aligns with the speaker's expectation that if the neighbors are bothered, they should directly inform him.

Thus, the best indexed sense for "tell" in the given context is the one corresponding to "let something be known," which is sense index 2 (since the list is 1-indexed as per the provided candidate senses).

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

The sentence is: "He says the neighbors complain, but I don't believe it. Why don't they tell me themselves if it bothers them?"

Here, the subject is discussing whether his singing in the bath bothers the neighbors. The context implies that "bothers" is being used to mean causing annoyance or irritation to the neighbors.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is about taking the trouble to do something. This doesn't fit the context as "bothers" here is not about the neighbors taking trouble.
2. The second sense is about causing annoyance or irritation, which aligns with the context. The neighbors are potentially annoyed or irritated by the singing.
3. The third sense is about causing inconvenience or discomfort. While related, it's broader and not as directly related to the emotional state of annoyance as the second sense.
4. The fourth sense is about intruding or entering uninvited, which doesn't fit the context.
5. The fifth sense is about making someone nervous or agitated. While this could be a form of annoyance, it's more specific to causing nervousness or agitation.
6. The sixth sense is about making someone confused or perplexed, which doesn't directly fit the context of annoyance due to noise.

The most suitable definition is the second one: "cause annoyance in; disturb, especially by minor irritations." The synonyms (annoy, rag, get to, get at, irritate, rile) and examples ("Mosquitoes buzzing in my ear really bothers me") support this interpretation, as the context is about the potential annoyance caused to the neighbors by the singing.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The context is a narrative where a character is discussing his issues with his landlord, and then it mentions "The man closed his eyes and nodded." This indicates that "man" refers to a specific adult male person involved in the conversation or situation.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **1. an adult person who is male**: This sense fits the context as it refers to an adult male person.
   - **2. someone who serves in the armed forces**: There's no indication in the context that the man is a serviceman.
   - **3. the generic use of the word to refer to any human being**: While "man" can be used generically, the context suggests a specific individual.
   - **4. any living or extinct member of the family Hominidae**: This is too broad and not specific to the context of referring to a particular individual.
   - **5. a male subordinate**: The context doesn't explicitly indicate a subordinate relationship, though it could be inferred if the man is, for example, a landlord or someone in authority.
   - **6. an adult male person with manly character**: The narrative doesn't focus on the man's virility or courage.
   - **7. a manservant who acts as a personal attendant**: There's no indication that the man is a valet or servant.
   - **8. a male person significant to a particular woman**: The context doesn't suggest this relationship.
   - **9. one of the British Isles**: This is unrelated to the context.
   - **10. game equipment**: The context is not about games.
   - **11. all of the living human inhabitants of the earth**: This sense is too broad for the context.

3. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context clearly refers to a specific adult male person.
   - Sense 1 ("an adult person who is male") directly corresponds to this interpretation.
   - The other senses either don't fit the context or are too broad/narrow.

Given the context and the analysis above, the most appropriate sense for "man" is the first one, which refers to an adult male person.
