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

The sentence is: "After all, the man had no family, so no one suffered, and everybody was better off for it."

Here, "had" is used to indicate that the man did not possess or have something, in this case, "no family." The context suggests that the meaning is related to possession or the state of having something or someone.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense** - This definition fits the context as "had no family" implies the man did not possess or have a family.
2. **have as a feature** - This doesn't fit as "had no family" doesn't describe a feature of the man.
3. **go through (mental or physical states or experiences)** - This doesn't apply as "had no family" doesn't describe an experience or state the man went through in the context of experiencing something.
4. **have ownership or possession of** - This is a strong candidate because it directly relates to the concept of having or not having something, like family.
5. Other senses either don't fit the context or are less directly related to the concept of possession or having.

Given the context and the examples, the most suitable definition is related to having or possessing something. Between senses 1 and 4, both of which relate to possession, **sense 1: have or possess, either in a concrete or an abstract sense** is the most appropriate because it encompasses a broader range of possession, including abstract concepts like family.

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

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

The context is: "After a while he began to feel better about it, especially when no one bothered to ask any questions. But after all, why should they? Still later, he finally convinced himself that it was an accident -- just a coincidence. The stranger really had nothing to do with it, of course Haney went to bed, happy that at least he was rid of that lousy landlord. After all, the man had no family, so no one suffered, and everybody was better off for it. Really, he said to himself, nobody kills a man just as a favor!!"

The sentence where "family" appears is: "After all, the man had no family, so no one suffered, and everybody was better off for it."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. A social unit living together.
2. Primary social group; parents and children.
3. A collection of things sharing a common attribute.
4. People descended from a common ancestor.
5. A person having kinship with another or others.
6. (Biology) a taxonomic group containing one or more genera.
7. A loose affiliation of gangsters in charge of organized criminal activities.
8. An association of people who share common beliefs or activities.

The context implies that the landlord had no relatives or close family members who would be affected by his death. The most relevant senses here are 1, 2, 4, and 5, as they all relate to the concept of relatives or kinship.

Sense 1 refers to a "social unit living together," which could imply family members living together, but it's not the only interpretation.
Sense 2, "primary social group; parents and children," is a plausible interpretation as it directly relates to close family ties.
Sense 4, "people descended from a common ancestor," is also relevant as it refers to a broader family lineage.
Sense 5, "a person having kinship with another or others," is somewhat relevant but is more about the relationship between individuals rather than a group.

Given the context, the most appropriate interpretation is that the landlord had no close relatives (such as a spouse, children, or possibly parents) who would suffer from his death. Both senses 1 and 2 could fit this interpretation, but sense 2 ("primary social group; parents and children") is more directly related to the immediate family that would be affected by someone's death.

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

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

The sentence is: "After all, the man had no family, so no one suffered, and everybody was better off for it."

Here, the context implies that the death of the man had no negative impact on anyone because he had no family. The use of "suffered" suggests experiencing some form of negative consequence or distress due to the event (the man's death).

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Undergo or be subjected to - This is a broad definition that could fit, but it's not the most specific.
2. Undergo (as of injuries and illnesses) - This doesn't directly apply to the context of the sentence, as it refers more to physical harm or illness.
3. Experience (emotional) pain - This could be a plausible interpretation, as it involves feeling distress or pain, potentially emotional.
4. Put up with something or somebody unpleasant - This doesn't directly fit, as "suffered" here doesn't mean tolerating something unpleasant over a period.
5. Get worse - This doesn't fit the context; the sentence isn't discussing something deteriorating.
6. Feel pain or be in pain - Similar to sense 3, this involves pain, but it's more general.
7. Feel physical pain - This is too specific to physical pain.
8. Feel unwell or uncomfortable - This is also somewhat specific and doesn't directly fit the context of experiencing a negative consequence due to someone's death.
9. Be given to - This doesn't fit; it refers to having a tendency towards something.
10. Undergo or suffer - This is a broad definition similar to sense 1 and involves meeting a certain fate, which could be negative.
11. Be set at a disadvantage - This implies losing out or being disadvantaged in some way.

Given the context, the most appropriate interpretation of "suffered" is that no one experienced negative consequences or distress due to the man's death, particularly because he had no family. The closest sense that fits this interpretation involves experiencing some form of negative impact or pain, which is emotional or related to being adversely affected.

The best fit is sense 1: "undergo or be subjected to," as it broadly encompasses experiencing a negative consequence or fate, which aligns with the context that no one was negatively impacted by the man's death.

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

The context is: "...nobody kills a man just as a <t>favor</t>!!"

Here, the word "favor" is used to imply doing something (in this case, killing a man) as an act of kindness or graciousness towards someone.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **an act of gracious kindness** - This definition fits the context well, as the sentence is discussing the idea of killing someone as a kind or gracious act towards them.
2. **an advantage to the benefit of someone or something** - While this could potentially fit, it doesn't capture the nuance of doing something as a kind act as directly as the first sense.
3. **an inclination to approve** - This doesn't directly fit the context, as the sentence isn't discussing a trend or style being approved of.
4. **a feeling of favorable regard** - This sense doesn't fit the context because the sentence is discussing an action done for someone, not a feeling towards them.
5. **souvenir consisting of a small gift given to a guest at a party** - This is clearly unrelated to the context.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the first one: "an act of gracious kindness." This matches with the idea that the sentence is questioning the motive behind killing someone, framing it as potentially being done as a kind act.

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

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

The sentence is: "So you thought I didn't mean what I said."

Here, "thought" is used in a context where it implies an interpretation or understanding of someone's previous statement or intention. The speaker is expressing a realization or a judgment about what the other person meant.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **judge or regard; look upon; judge** - This sense involves making a judgment about something or someone. The example "I think he is very smart" illustrates this. The synonym "believe" is relevant.

2. **expect, believe, or suppose** - This involves having an expectation, belief, or supposition. The example "I thought to find her in a bad state" shows this. The synonyms include "suppose" and "imagine."

3. **use or exercise the mind or one's power of reason** - This is about using one's mind to make inferences or decisions. The example is "I've been thinking all day and getting nowhere."

4. **recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection** - This involves remembering something. The example is "I can't remember saying any such thing."

5. **imagine or visualize** - This is about imagining or visualizing something. The example is "Just think--you could be rich one day!"

6. **focus one's attention on a certain state** - This involves focusing on a particular state or condition. The example is "Think big."

7. **have in mind as a purpose** - This is about intending or meaning to do something. The example is "I mean no harm."

8. **decide by pondering, reasoning, or reflecting** - This involves making a decision after thought. The example is "Can you think what to do next?"

9. **ponder; reflect on, or reason about** - This is about thinking deeply about something. The example is "Think the matter through."

10. **dispose the mind in a certain way** - This involves having a certain mindset or opinion. The example is "Do you really think so?"

11. **have or formulate in the mind** - This is about having thoughts or formulating ideas. The example is "think good thoughts."

12. **be capable of conscious thought** - This is a more general sense about being able to think.

13. **bring into a given condition by mental preoccupation** - This involves affecting one's state through thought. The example is "She thought herself into a state of panic."

Given the context "So you thought I didn't mean what I said," the word "thought" is best interpreted as having believed or supposed something about the speaker's intention. This aligns with **sense_index=2**, which is defined as "expect, believe, or suppose." The sentence implies that the person had a certain understanding or belief about what the speaker meant, which was later possibly corrected or reflected upon.

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

The sentence is: "So you thought I didn't mean what I said."

Here, the word "mean" is used in the context of expressing or conveying what was said. The speaker is clarifying that their previous statement was genuine or sincere.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is "mean or intend to express or convey" with synonyms like "intend" and examples such as "You never understand what I mean!".
2. The second sense relates to having a logical consequence, which doesn't fit the context.
3. The third sense is about denoting or connoting, which is somewhat related but more about the meaning of words or symbols.
4. The fourth sense is "have in mind as a purpose" with synonyms like "intend" and "think", and it includes examples like "I mean no harm".
5. The fifth sense is about having a specified degree of importance, which is not relevant here.
6. The sixth sense is "intend to refer to" with synonyms like "think of" and "have in mind", and examples like "I'm thinking of good food when I talk about France".
7. The seventh sense is about destining or designating for a certain purpose.

The context suggests that "mean" is used to convey the sincerity or genuineness of what was said. The closest match is the first sense, which is about intending to express or convey something. The example "You never understand what I mean!" closely aligns with the usage in the given sentence, as both involve understanding the intended meaning of what was said.

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

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

The sentence is: "So you thought I didn't mean what I said."

Here, "said" refers to something previously expressed or communicated by the speaker. The context implies that the speaker is referring back to their own previous statement or expression of intent.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Express in words** - This is a general definition that fits many contexts where "say" or "said" is used. The synonyms are "state" and "tell," and an example is "He said that he wanted to marry her." This sense seems plausible because it involves expressing something in words.

2. **Report or maintain** - This involves alleging or averring something, with examples like "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime." While it involves stating something, it often carries a connotation of asserting or claiming something, possibly with a hint of doubt or controversy.

3. **Express a supposition** - This is about supposing or hypothesizing something, as in "Let's say you had a lot of money--what would you do?" The context provided doesn't directly suggest a hypothetical or speculative scenario.

4. **Have or contain a certain wording or form** - This refers to the wording or content of a text or expression, like "The passage reads as follows." It doesn't directly apply to the context of "said" referring to a previous statement made by a person.

5. **Give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority** - This involves ordering or directing someone, as in "She ordered him to do the shopping." The context doesn't suggest giving instructions.

6. **Speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way** - This involves the manner of speaking or pronouncing words, as in "She pronounces French words in a funny way." The context doesn't focus on the manner of speaking.

7. **Communicate or express nonverbally** - This involves conveying meaning without words, as in "What does this painting say?" The context implies a verbal statement.

8. **Utter aloud** - This involves saying something out loud, as in "She said `Hello' to everyone in the office." While "said" does involve uttering, the focus here is on what was meant or expressed.

9. **State as one's opinion or judgement; declare** - This involves expressing an opinion or judgment, as in "I say let's forget this whole business." The context could imply a declaration or assertion of intent or meaning.

10. **Recite or repeat a fixed text** - This involves repeating a specific text or phrase, like "Say grace." The context doesn't indicate repeating a fixed or ritualistic text.

11. **Indicate** - This involves showing or indicating something, as in "The clock says noon." The context doesn't involve an object indicating something.

Given the context "So you thought I didn't mean what I said," the most relevant sense is the first one: "express in words." The speaker is referring back to their previous expression or statement, implying that they did mean what they expressed or said. The synonyms "state" and "tell" also fit this interpretation, as the speaker is talking about the content of their previous verbal expression.

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

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 scenario where a character, Phil Haney, is dealing with the aftermath of an event involving a "stranger." The stranger is mentioned as having "eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings," indicating a personal interaction or confrontation between Haney and the stranger. This suggests that the stranger is someone Haney is acquainted with or has met, at least within the context of the story.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "anyone who does not belong in the environment in which they are found" with synonyms "alien, unknown." This sense focuses on the stranger being out of place or not belonging.
   - **Sense 2**: "an individual that one is not acquainted with." This sense emphasizes the lack of acquaintance or familiarity between the subject (Haney, in this case) and the stranger.

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context implies a personal interaction between Haney and the stranger, as evidenced by the description of the stranger's emotional state in response to Haney's actions or words. This interaction suggests that the stranger is not just someone out of place but is specifically someone Haney does not know well or at all.
   - The narrative does not strongly emphasize the stranger being out of place or an "alien" in the environment; instead, it focuses on the interaction and the emotional dynamics between Haney and the stranger.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context and the information provided, **Sense 2** ("an individual that one is not acquainted with") seems more appropriate. The narrative implies that the stranger is someone Haney is not familiar with, and their interaction is significant to the story.
   - The description of the stranger's emotional response to Haney suggests a level of personal engagement that is more about their relationship or lack thereof, rather than the stranger simply being out of place.

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "stranger" in the given context is **2**.

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

The sentence is: "The stranger's eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings."

Here, "large" is used to describe the stranger's eyes. The context suggests that the eyes are not just big in size but are also expressive of sadness.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "large" as above average in size or number or quantity or magnitude or extent. This sense is often associated with physical size, which could apply to eyes being big or wide, possibly with surprise, sadness, or some other emotion.

2. The other senses (2 through 7) relate to various figurative or abstract meanings of "large," including being significant, rhetorical, generous, conspicuous, comprehensive, or pregnant.

Given the context, the most relevant interpretation is that the stranger's eyes are physically large, possibly wide with sadness or some other emotion. This aligns with the first sense, which describes something as being above average in size.

Thus, the best indexed sense for "large" in this context is the first one, as it directly relates to the physical description of the stranger's eyes.

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

The context describes a scene where the stranger's eyes are described as "large and sad" after an interaction with Phil Haney, suggesting that the stranger has been emotionally affected, possibly hurt or saddened, by Haney's words or actions.

1. The first sense defines "sad" as experiencing or showing sorrow or unhappiness. The context implies that the stranger is showing sorrow or unhappiness through his eyes, which aligns with this definition. The example given, "feeling sad because his dog had died," illustrates a personal emotional state of sorrow, which is consistent with the context of the stranger being emotionally affected.

2. The second sense refers to things that make you feel sad. The context, however, describes the stranger's eyes, not something that is causing sadness (like news or a movie). Thus, this sense doesn't directly apply to the description of the stranger's emotional state.

3. The third sense defines "sad" as bad or unfortunate. While this could sometimes apply to situations or circumstances, the description of the stranger's eyes as "sad" is more directly related to an emotional state than describing a situation as unfortunate.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the first one, as it directly relates to the expression of sorrow or unhappiness, which is what is being described in the stranger's eyes.

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

The context is: "It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream."

Here, "dream" is used to describe a series of mental images or emotions that are not necessarily occurring during sleep but are more related to a state of mind or a recollection that is haunting or recurrent.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **dream%1:09:01::** - Refers to a series of mental images and emotions occurring during sleep. The context indicates that Haney knew it was not a dream, suggesting it's not about something happening during sleep.

2. **dream%1:09:02::** - Involves imaginative thoughts while awake. While this could be a possibility, the context suggests it's more about a haunting or recurrent mental image or state rather than mere imaginative thoughts.

3. **dream%1:12:00::** - A cherished desire. This doesn't fit the context as the "dream" is described as annoying and turning into a nightmare, not something desirable.

4. **dream%1:09:03::** - A fantastic but vain hope. The context doesn't suggest that the "dream" is a hope or aspiration.

5. **dream%1:09:04::** - A state of mind characterized by abstraction and release from reality. The use of "dream" to describe a state that is becoming a "nightmare" and is described as "annoying" and "recurrent" fits this sense. It implies a state of mind that's not fully engaged with reality, which aligns with the context.

6. **dream%1:26:00::** - Someone or something wonderful. The context clearly doesn't fit this as the "dream" is described negatively.

Given the context and the descriptions, the best fit is **dream%1:09:04::**, which corresponds to sense_index = 5.

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

The context is: "It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream."

Here, "dream" is used to describe a series of events or thoughts that are not necessarily happening in reality but are felt or perceived by the character, Phil Haney. The text implies that Haney is experiencing a situation that feels like a dream, specifically a recurrent and annoying one that is turning into a nightmare.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **dream%1:09:01::** - a series of mental images and emotions occurring during sleep. The context indicates that Haney knows "it was not a dream," suggesting that the "dream" is not necessarily something occurring during sleep.

2. **dream%1:09:02::** - imaginative thoughts indulged in while awake. This could be a plausible interpretation since Haney's experience is likened to a dream, suggesting it's a state of mind or a perception rather than an actual event during sleep.

3. **dream%1:12:00::** - a cherished desire. This doesn't fit the context as the "dream" is described as "annoying" and turning into a "nightmare," which doesn't align with the notion of a cherished desire.

4. **dream%1:09:03::** - a fantastic but vain hope. The context doesn't suggest that the "dream" is a hope or aspiration, so this doesn't seem to be the best fit.

5. **dream%1:09:04::** - a state of mind characterized by abstraction and release from reality. This sense fits well because the narrative describes Haney's experience as being "like a dream," indicating a state of mind where his perception of reality is altered or abstracted.

6. **dream%1:26:00::** - someone or something wonderful. The "dream" in the context is described negatively ("annoying," turning into a "nightmare"), so this doesn't fit.

Given the context and the descriptions of the candidate senses, the most appropriate interpretation is that "dream" refers to a state of mind characterized by abstraction and release from reality, which aligns with **sense_index: 5**.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "dream" in the given context is: {"sense_index": 5}.

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

The sentence is: "It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare."

Here, "beginning" is used in the context of something (the dream) starting to develop or change into something else (overtones of a nightmare). The verb "was beginning" indicates the initiation or commencement of a process or a state.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **take the first step or steps in carrying out an action** - This sense typically involves an action or activity that someone starts doing. While it could fit grammatically, the context doesn't directly imply an action being carried out.

2. **have a beginning, in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense** - This is a broad definition that could apply to various contexts, including the one given, as it involves something starting or having a beginning.

3. **set in motion, cause to start** - This implies an external agent causing something to begin. The context doesn't directly suggest this, as "the dream was beginning" is more about the dream changing or developing rather than being caused to start by an external agent.

4. & 5. & 10. These senses involve specific contexts (speaking, being the first item in a series, learning a language) that don't directly apply to the given sentence.

6. **have a beginning, of a temporal event** - This sense is relevant as it involves the start of an event or a period. The sentence discusses a dream transitioning into a nightmare, which can be seen as a temporal or evaluative change.

7. **have a beginning characterized in some specified way** - The dream is beginning to take on a certain characteristic (overtones of a nightmare), so this sense is applicable.

8. & 9. These involve specific actions or achievements that don't directly fit the context.

Given the context, the most suitable definition is that the dream is starting to develop or change in some way. Both senses 2 and 7 seem plausible because they involve the idea of something having a beginning or starting in some sense. However, sense 7 is more specific in that it involves a beginning characterized in some way ("to take on overtones of a nightmare"), which fits the context well.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "beginning" in the given context is **7**.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "overtones" appears is: "It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare." Here, "overtones" is used metaphorically to describe how a dream is evolving or acquiring additional, possibly unpleasant, qualities or implications.

2. **Understanding the Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: "overtone%1:10:00::" is defined as "(usually plural) an ulterior implicit meaning or quality." An example given is "overtones of despair." This sense implies that "overtones" refers to additional, often subtle or implicit, meanings or connotations associated with something.
   - **Sense 2**: "overtone%1:09:00::" is defined as "a harmonic with a frequency that is a multiple of the fundamental frequency." It is related to sound and music, with synonyms like "partial" and "partial tone." This is a more literal or technical definition related to acoustics.

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context provided is narrative and figurative, discussing dreams and nightmares in a metaphorical or psychological sense. It doesn't directly relate to sound or music.
   - The use of "overtones" here is metaphorical, indicating that the dream is taking on additional qualities or implications (in this case, of a nightmare), which aligns with the first sense.
   - The example "overtones of despair" supports this interpretation, as it illustrates how "overtones" can be used to convey subtle or additional negative connotations or qualities.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context and the metaphorical use of "overtones," **Sense 1** is the most appropriate. It correctly captures the idea of a dream acquiring additional, unpleasant qualities or implications (those of a nightmare).

5. **Returning the Answer in the Required Format**:
Since the correct sense is the first one listed in the candidate senses, the corresponding index is "1". Thus, 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 "nightmare" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a situation where the protagonist, Phil Haney, is interacting with a stranger whose eyes are "large and sad." Haney reflects on their previous conversation and feels that the situation is becoming increasingly unsettling, likening it to a dream that is turning into a nightmare. The key sentence is: "It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream."

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "nightmare" is used to convey that the situation is becoming terrifying or deeply upsetting for Haney.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=nightmare%1:26:00::**: This sense defines "nightmare" as "a situation resembling a terrifying dream" with a synonym "incubus." The use of "resembling" indicates that the situation is not actually a dream but shares qualities with one.
   - **2. sense_key=nightmare%1:09:00::**: This defines "nightmare" as "a terrifying or deeply upsetting dream." It directly refers to the experience of having a bad dream.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The passage explicitly states, "However, Haney knew it was not a dream," which rules out the interpretation of "nightmare" as an actual dream (sense 2).
   - The comparison made is between the situation Haney is in and a dream turning into a nightmare, indicating that the situation itself is not a dream but is being likened to one that is terrifying or deeply upsetting.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given that the situation is likened to a nightmare but is not actually a dream, the most appropriate sense is the one that describes a situation resembling a terrifying dream.

6. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "nightmare" in the given context is the first one, as it accurately describes the situation Haney is facing as resembling a terrifying dream, not an actual dream.

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

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

The sentence is: "However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was."

The context suggests that Haney is aware of a fact or a specific piece of information, namely that his experience is not a dream and that he knows his location.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about.
   - This sense fits the context as Haney is aware that his experience is not a dream and knows his location.

2. Know how to do or perform something.
   - This doesn't fit as there's no mention of Haney performing a task.

3. Be aware of the truth of something; have a belief or faith in something; regard as true beyond any doubt.
   - This sense is plausible because Haney is certain that his experience is not a dream.

4. Be familiar or acquainted with a person or an object.
   - This doesn't directly apply as Haney's awareness is about a state (not a dream) and his location, not about being acquainted with a person or object.

5. Have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations.
   - While this could be considered, the primary interpretation is about being aware of a fact.

6. Accept (someone) to be what is claimed or accept his power and authority.
   - This doesn't fit the context.

7. Have fixed in the mind.
   - This is more about memorization or knowledge of a subject, not directly relevant.

8. Have sexual intercourse with.
   - This is not relevant to the context.

9. Know the nature or character of.
   - While somewhat applicable, it's not the most direct interpretation.

10. Be able to distinguish, recognize as being different.
    - This is not directly relevant.

11. Perceive as familiar.
    - This doesn't directly apply to the context.

Given the context and the definitions, the most appropriate sense is the first one: "be cognizant or aware of a fact or a specific piece of information; possess knowledge or information about." This corresponds to sense_index 1.

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

The context is: "After all, the man had no family, so no one suffered, and everybody was better off for it. Really, he said to himself, nobody kills a man just as a favor!! So you thought I didn't mean what I said. The stranger's eyes were large and sad, as if Phil Haney had hurt his feelings. It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he knew where he was."

The sentence where "dream" appears is: "It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream."

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **dream%1:09:01::** - "a series of mental images and emotions occurring during sleep"
   - The context suggests that the "dream" is not necessarily occurring during sleep but is used metaphorically to describe a situation that feels unreal or disturbingly repetitive.

2. **dream%1:09:02::** - "imaginative thoughts indulged in while awake"
   - This sense could potentially fit as it involves a state of mind not necessarily during sleep, but the context emphasizes the unreality or the disturbing nature of the situation rather than imaginative thoughts.

3. **dream%1:12:00::** - "a cherished desire"
   - This doesn't fit the context as "dream" here is not about a desired state or ambition.

4. **dream%1:09:03::** - "a fantastic but vain hope"
   - The context doesn't directly relate to hopes or desires that are vain.

5. **dream%1:09:04::** - "a state of mind characterized by abstraction and release from reality"
   - This sense fits well because the narrative describes a situation that feels like a "dream" or a nightmare, indicating a state of mind detached from reality.

6. **dream%1:26:00::** - "someone or something wonderful"
   - The context doesn't suggest that the "dream" is something wonderful; rather, it's described as "annoying" and turning into a "nightmare."

The use of "dream" in the context, particularly with the phrase "recurrent, annoying dream" and it "beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare," suggests a state of mind that is not in touch with reality or is disturbing. The closest sense that captures this nuance is **dream%1:09:04::**, which describes "a state of mind characterized by abstraction and release from reality." This matches the context where Haney is describing a situation that feels unreal or like a bad dream.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the one corresponding to "dream%1:09:04::".

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

The sentence is: "He might be very tight, but he knew where he was."

From the context, it's clear that the subject, Haney, is in a state that is being described by "tight." Given that the narrative mentions "he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual" on a Saturday night, it suggests that Haney is drinking alcohol.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. closely constrained or constricted or constricting - This doesn't directly relate to the context of drinking or being drunk.
2. pulled or drawn tight - This sense is more related to physical tension or objects being taut.
3. set so close together as to be invulnerable to penetration - This doesn't fit the context of the sentence.
4. pressed tightly together - This could relate to physical postures or objects but doesn't directly fit the context.
5. characterized by or indicative of lack of generosity - This is about being stingy, which doesn't fit the context.
6. affected by scarcity and expensive to borrow - This relates to economic conditions, not the state of a person.
7. of such close construction as to be impermeable - This is more about the quality of construction or objects.
8. of textiles - This is specific to the weave of fabrics.
9. securely or solidly fixed in place; rigid - This doesn't directly relate to the state of being drunk.
10. evenly matched - This is about competitions or contests.
11. very drunk - This directly relates to the context of drinking alcohol.
12. exasperatingly difficult to handle or circumvent - This is about problems or situations.
13. demanding strict attention to rules and procedures - This is about discipline or security measures.
14. packed closely together - This is about the density of objects or people.

Given the context that Haney "had an excuse to drink heavier than usual" and considering the provided senses, the most appropriate sense for "tight" in this context is "very drunk." This matches sense 11.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "tight" is 11.

It was like a recurrent, annoying dream, but now the dream was beginning to take on overtones of a nightmare. However, Haney knew it was not a dream. He might be very tight, but he <t>knew</t> where he was. It was the same bar, and it was two weeks later -- Saturday night, when he had an excuse to drink heavier than usual.
