That's what the man had said. Haney peered doubtfully at his drinking companion through bleary, tear-filled eyes. He had no ready answer, as much from surprise as from the fit of coughing.

The guy is off his rocker, Haney <t>thought</t> to himself, and looked away from those eyes. Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them.

raw_output:
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: "The guy is off his rocker, Haney thought to himself, and looked away from those eyes."

Here, "thought" is used to indicate that Haney had a particular opinion or belief about the man he was interacting with. The phrase "thought to himself" suggests an internal monologue or a silent judgment made by Haney.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. "judge or regard; look upon; judge" - This sense fits because Haney is making a judgment about the man.
2. "expect, believe, or suppose" - While this could potentially fit, it's not as directly related to making a judgment as sense 1.
3. "use or exercise the mind or one's power of reason" - This is more about the process of thinking rather than the content of the thought.
4. "recall knowledge from memory; have a recollection" - This doesn't fit because Haney isn't recalling something from memory; he's forming an opinion.
5. "imagine or visualize" - This doesn't directly apply because Haney isn't imagining a scenario; he's making a judgment.
6. "focus one's attention on a certain state" - This doesn't fit the context.
7. "have in mind as a purpose" - This doesn't apply because Haney isn't stating an intention.
8. "decide by pondering, reasoning, or reflecting" - While Haney is making a decision about what to think of the man, the context doesn't emphasize a lengthy process of pondering.
9. "ponder; reflect on, or reason about" - Similar to sense 8, it implies a more extended process than what's described.
10. "dispose the mind in a certain way" - This is not directly relevant.
11. "have or formulate in the mind" - This could apply, but it's somewhat generic.
12. "be capable of conscious thought" - This is too broad and doesn't specifically relate to the context.
13. "bring into a given condition by mental preoccupation" - This doesn't fit the context.

Given the context and the provided definitions, the most suitable sense is the first one: "judge or regard; look upon; judge." Haney is judging or regarding the man as being "off his rocker." The synonyms provided for this sense, such as "believe," "consider," and "conceive," also support this interpretation.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "thought" in this context is sense 1.

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 context is: "Haney peered doubtfully at his drinking companion through bleary, tear-filled eyes... Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them."

The word "bright" is used to describe the eyes of Haney's drinking companion. The description includes "a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them," which suggests that "bright" is not being used to describe physical brightness or light emission directly but rather an intensity or quality of the eyes.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. Emitting or reflecting light readily or in large amounts - This sense could apply if we consider the "cold fire" as a metaphor for an inner intensity, but it's not the most direct interpretation.
2. Having striking color - The text doesn't directly describe the color of the eyes, so this is less likely.
3. Characterized by quickness and ease in learning - This doesn't fit the context as it's describing eyes, not a person's intelligence.
4. Having lots of light either natural or artificial - This doesn't directly apply to the description of eyes.
5. Made smooth and bright by or as if by rubbing; reflecting a sheen or glow - While this could metaphorically apply, it's not the most straightforward interpretation for describing eyes.
6. Splendid - This is a possible interpretation if we consider "bright" to mean the eyes are remarkable or notable in some way.
7. Not made dim or less bright - This sense is more about maintaining light rather than the quality of the eyes.
8. Clear and sharp and ringing - This sense is more related to sound, not applicable here.
9. Characterized by happiness or gladness - The context doesn't suggest the eyes are "bright" due to happiness; instead, it implies an unsettling intensity.
10. Full of promise - This doesn't directly apply to the description of someone's eyes.

Given the context, the description of "bright" eyes with "a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them" most closely aligns with sense 1, as it metaphorically describes an inner light or intensity. The "cold fire" metaphor suggests an inner quality that is being described as "bright," which is related to the emission or reflection of light, albeit not in a literal sense.

Therefore, the best sense for "bright" in this context is related to emitting or reflecting light, which corresponds to sense index 1.

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

The context describes a scene where the protagonist, Haney, is observing his drinking companion's eyes, noting that they have a "strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them." The description focuses on the unusual nature of the intensity in the man's eyes, which Haney finds noteworthy and somewhat unsettling.

1. The first candidate sense defines "strange" as being "definitely out of the ordinary and unexpected; slightly odd or even a bit weird." The synonyms provided are "unusual," and an example is given as "a strange exaltation that was indefinable." This sense aligns well with the context, as the intensity in the man's eyes is described in an unusual and unexpected manner, likened to a "cold fire."

2. The second candidate sense defines "strange" as "not known before," with synonyms like "unknown," and an example of "used many strange words; saw many strange faces in the crowd." While this sense could potentially fit in some contexts where "strange" is used, it doesn't directly apply to the description of the intensity of the eyes, as the focus is not on whether the intensity is known or unknown but rather its unusual nature.

3. The third candidate sense relates to something being "characteristic of another place or part of the world," with synonyms like "foreign." This sense doesn't fit the context, as there's no indication that the intensity is being described in relation to its origin or association with another place or culture.

Given the context and the analysis of the candidate senses, the description of the "strange intensity" as being unusual and not what Haney expected fits best with the first candidate sense. This sense captures the essence of something being out of the ordinary and slightly odd or weird.

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

The context describes a scene where the protagonist, Haney, is observing his drinking companion's eyes, noting that they are "clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them." This description suggests that the "intensity" refers to a quality of the person's eyes that is perceived as unusual or striking, not necessarily related to sound or color.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense refers to "the amount of energy transmitted (as by acoustic or electromagnetic radiation)" with synonyms like "strength" and "intensity level." While this sense could potentially apply to the energy or power perceived in someone's eyes, it's more commonly associated with measurable or quantifiable forms of energy.

2. The second sense is defined as "high level or degree; the property of being intense" with the synonym "intensiveness." This sense is more general and can apply to various contexts where something is perceived as being intense, such as emotions, expressions, or, in this case, the quality of someone's eyes.

3. The third sense relates to "the magnitude of sound (usually in a specified direction)" with synonyms like "volume" and "loudness." This sense is clearly related to auditory experiences and doesn't fit the context of describing someone's eyes.

4. The fourth sense refers to "chromatic purity: freedom from dilution with white and hence vivid in hue" with synonyms like "saturation," "chroma," and "vividness." While this sense could potentially relate to the vividness or brightness of eyes, it's more specifically related to color properties.

Given the context, the description of the eyes being "bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them" suggests a high level or degree of some quality that is perceived as intense. The second sense ("high level or degree; the property of being intense") is the most fitting as it captures the idea of something (in this case, the quality of the person's eyes) being perceived as intense or striking without being limited to a specific domain like sound or color.

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

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

The sentence is: "Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them."

Here, "cold fire" is used metaphorically. The phrase doesn't refer to a literal fire that is cold, but rather to an intensity or passion that is not warm or emotional in the conventional sense. Instead, it's characterized by a lack of emotional warmth or a certain detachment.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Having a low or inadequate temperature or feeling a sensation of coldness or having been made cold by e.g. ice or refrigeration** - This sense is literal and doesn't fit the metaphorical use in "cold fire."

2. **Extended meanings; especially of psychological coldness; without human warmth or emotion** - This sense aligns with the metaphorical use of "cold" to describe a lack of emotional warmth.

3. **Having lost freshness through passage of time** - This doesn't directly apply to the context of "cold fire" as describing intensity or passion.

4. **(Color) giving no sensation of warmth** - While "cold" can describe colors, the context here is about intensity or fire, not color.

5. **Marked by errorless familiarity** - This sense is unrelated to the context.

6. **Lacking originality or spontaneity; no longer new** - This doesn't fit the description of "cold fire" as it relates to intensity.

7. **So intense as to be almost uncontrollable** - This sense is relevant as it describes a strong emotion or state, which aligns with "cold fury" or the idea of a "cold fire" burning with intensity.

8. **Sexually unresponsive** - This is not relevant to the context.

9. **Without compunction or human feeling** - This sense could apply to "cold-blooded" actions but doesn't directly relate to the intensity described.

10. **Feeling or showing no enthusiasm** - This is about a lack of enthusiasm, not directly related to the intensity or passion implied.

11. **Unconscious from a blow or shock or intoxication** - Not relevant to the context.

12. **Of a seeker; far from the object sought** - This is unrelated.

13. **Lacking the warmth of life** - While this could metaphorically relate to "cold," it doesn't directly fit the "cold fire" description as it's more about being dead or lifeless.

The phrase "cold fire" suggests an intense, possibly unemotional or detached passion or energy. Sense 7 (**so intense as to be almost uncontrollable**) is the closest in capturing the essence of an intense, burning passion or energy that is described as "cold." It fits the metaphorical use of "cold" to convey a strong, unyielding quality.

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

The context is: "Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold <t>fire</t> burning behind them."

Here, "fire" is used metaphorically to describe the intensity in someone's eyes. The phrase "cold fire burning behind them" suggests a strong, intense feeling or passion that is not necessarily related to literal burning or physical fire.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The event of something burning (often destructive) - This sense doesn't fit the metaphorical use in the context.
2. The act of firing weapons or artillery at an enemy - This sense is unrelated to the context.
3. The process of combustion of inflammable materials producing heat and light and (often) smoke - While this is a literal definition of fire, the context uses "fire" metaphorically.
4. A fireplace in which a relatively small fire is burning - This is too literal and doesn't fit the context.
5. Once thought to be one of four elements composing the universe (Empedocles) - This is a historical or philosophical sense that doesn't directly relate to the metaphorical use here.
6. Feelings of great warmth and intensity - This sense aligns with the metaphorical use of "fire" to describe intense feelings or passion, and the synonym "fervor" suggests a strong, inner intensity.
7. Fuel that is burning and is used as a means for cooking - This is too literal and related to a specific use of fire.
8. A severe trial - While this is a metaphorical use, it doesn't directly fit the context of describing someone's eyes.
9. Intense adverse criticism - This doesn't fit the context of describing the intensity in someone's eyes.

The metaphorical use of "fire" to describe the intensity in someone's eyes best aligns with sense 6, "feelings of great warmth and intensity." This sense captures the idea of a strong, inner passion or intensity, even though the context describes it as "cold fire," suggesting an unusual or not necessarily warm kind of intensity.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "fire" in this context is 6.

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

The context is: "Eyes that were clear, but also bright with a strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind them."

Here, "burning" is used to describe the intensity or the state of the eyes. The phrase "a sort of cold fire burning behind them" is metaphorical, indicating a strong, intense feeling or presence.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

1. destroy by fire - Not relevant as there's no destruction mentioned.
2. shine intensely, as if with heat - This sense fits as it describes the intensity of the eyes.
3. undergo combustion - Not directly relevant as it's more literal and doesn't fit the metaphorical use.
4. cause a sharp or stinging pain or discomfort - Not directly relevant to the context of describing eyes.
5. cause to burn or combust - Not relevant as it implies causing something to burn, not describing a state.
6. feel strong emotion, especially anger or passion - This could be relevant as it implies a strong intensity, but let's continue evaluating.
7. cause to undergo combustion - Similar to sense 5, it's not about describing a state.
8. burn at the stake - Not relevant to the context.
9. spend (significant amounts of money) - Not relevant.
10. feel hot or painful - While this could be related, it's more about physical sensation than the metaphorical intensity described.
11. burn, sear, or freeze (tissue) - Not relevant as it's a medical context.
12. get a sunburn - Not relevant.
13. create by duplicating data - Not relevant as it's a modern, technological context not related to the description.
14. use up (energy) - Not directly relevant.
15. burn with heat, fire, or radiation - More literal than the context suggests.

The phrase "a sort of cold fire burning behind them" suggests an intense, glowing quality. Sense 2, "shine intensely, as if with heat," fits this description well, as it is about giving off light or having an intense appearance, which matches the metaphorical use of "burning" to describe the eyes.

Therefore, the best sense for "burning" in this context is related to shining intensely.

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

The sentence is: "Why hadn't he noticed it before?"

The context revolves around the protagonist, Haney, reflecting on his interaction with a man whose behavior seems unusual or suspicious to him. Haney is wondering why he hadn't previously observed or realized something about the man that now seems apparent, specifically the "strange intensity, a sort of cold fire burning behind" the man's eyes.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense is defined as "discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of" with synonyms like "detect, observe, find, discover." The example given is "She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water." This sense fits the context because Haney is reflecting on why he hadn't previously detected or observed something about the man.

2. The second sense is "notice or perceive" with synonyms "mark, note." The example is "She noted that someone was following her." This sense is also plausible as it involves becoming aware of something.

3. The third sense involves "make or write a comment on" and is exemplified by "he commented on the paper of his colleague." This doesn't fit the context as Haney is not making a comment.

4. The fourth sense is about "express recognition of the presence or existence of, or acquaintance with" and is illustrated by "He never acknowledges his colleagues when they run into him in the hallway." This doesn't fit the context either, as Haney is not expressing recognition or acknowledgment to someone else.

Given the context, both the first and second senses seem plausible because they both relate to becoming aware or perceiving something. However, the first sense ("discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of") is more about coming to know something, often unexpectedly or through investigation, which aligns well with Haney's realization about the man's eyes.

The second sense ("notice or perceive") is very similar and also a strong candidate. However, upon closer inspection, the first sense is slightly more appropriate because it emphasizes the discovery or detection aspect, which fits Haney's retrospective realization about not having noticed the intensity in the man's eyes before.

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

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence discusses a man's state after consuming drinks with his new buddy. It mentions that the man's eyes were clear, but there was a strange intensity or "cold fire" behind them, suggesting an unusual or abnormal state. The narrative explicitly states, "No, the man was not drunk," indicating that despite having consumed alcohol, the man was not in a state typically associated with being drunk.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: This sense is defined as being "stupefied or excited by a chemical substance (especially alcohol)" with synonyms like "intoxicated" and "inebriated." The examples given include "a noisy crowd of intoxicated sailors" and "helplessly inebriated," both of which imply a state directly resulting from alcohol consumption.
   - **Sense 2**: This sense is described as "as if under the influence of alcohol" with the synonym "intoxicated." The examples provided are "felt intoxicated by her success" and "drunk with excitement," suggesting a metaphorical or figurative use of "drunk" to describe a state of being excited or exhilarated, not necessarily due to alcohol.

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context explicitly denies that the man is drunk in the literal sense (due to alcohol), so we need to consider if "drunk" is being used to describe a state that is not directly caused by alcohol consumption.
   - The narrative focuses on the man's unusual state, described through his eyes having a "cold fire burning behind them," indicating an intense or abnormal condition not necessarily related to alcohol intoxication.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given that the context explicitly states the man is not drunk due to alcohol, and considering the examples and synonyms provided for the candidate senses, **Sense 2** seems more plausible. This is because it allows for a figurative interpretation of "drunk" that could align with the man's described state of having an intense, almost otherworldly, quality to his demeanor.

5. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "drunk" in the given context is **2**, as it fits the figurative use of "drunk" to describe someone's state as being intensely excited or having an extraordinary quality, not necessarily due to alcohol.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The sentence where "wondered" is used is: "He wondered how he got tied up with this stranger." The context suggests that the character is reflecting on or questioning how he ended up associated with the stranger.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "have a wish or desire to know something" with synonyms "inquire, enquire" and an example "He wondered who had built this beautiful church." This sense aligns with the context as the character is trying to understand or figure out how he got associated with the stranger.
   - **Sense 2**: "place in doubt or express doubtful speculation" with synonym "question" and examples "I wonder whether this was the right thing to do; she wondered whether it would snow tonight." This sense also fits as it involves a form of questioning or speculating about something, in this case, how he got tied up with the stranger.
   - **Sense 3**: "be amazed at" with synonym "marvel" and example "We marvelled at the child's linguistic abilities." This sense doesn't fit as well because the context doesn't indicate that Haney is amazed or marveling at how he got tied up with the stranger; rather, he's reflecting on or questioning it.

3. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - Both Sense 1 and Sense 2 seem plausible because they both involve a form of questioning or inquiry. However, Sense 1 is more about having a desire to know something, which is a broader interpretation that can include questioning or speculating about the past or present.
   - Sense 2 is more about doubting or speculating, often with a sense of uncertainty about a decision or a future event, as seen in its examples.
   - The context suggests Haney is more so questioning or trying to understand a past situation (how he got tied up with the stranger), which aligns more closely with Sense 2, as it involves a form of speculation or questioning about a past event or situation.

4. **Conclusion**: The best fit for "wondered" in the given context is Sense 2, as it involves questioning or speculating about a situation (how he got tied up with the stranger).

Therefore, the JSON response is: {"sense_index": 2}

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 scene where the protagonist, Haney, is with a man he has recently become acquainted with or is spending time with. As the story unfolds, Haney starts to feel uneasy about this person's behavior and intensity in their eyes, leading him to think of the man as a "stranger." The key here is understanding the relationship between Haney and the man. The narrative indicates they had been drinking together and Haney had not noticed the man's intensity before, suggesting they weren't deeply acquainted.

2. **Understanding the 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 focuses on the person's presence in an environment rather than their acquaintance with someone.
   - **Sense 2**: "an individual that one is not acquainted with." This directly pertains to the level of familiarity or acquaintance between individuals.

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context revolves around Haney's realization that he doesn't truly know the man he's with, highlighted by his unsettling observation of the man's intense eyes. This indicates a focus on the lack of acquaintance or deep understanding between Haney and the man.
   - The narrative doesn't suggest that the man is out of place in their environment (Sense 1); instead, it emphasizes Haney's growing unease due to not knowing the man well (Sense 2).

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context and the definitions, **Sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with"** is the most appropriate. Haney's reflection on how he got tied up with this "stranger" directly relates to his realization that he doesn't know the man as well as he thought, fitting the definition of not being acquainted.

5. **Returning the Answer in the Required Format**:
Since Sense 2 is the correct choice and it is indexed as "2", the response should be formatted accordingly.

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

The context is: "after two hours of steady drinking, but the occasion of it came back to him."

Here, "steady drinking" implies drinking that is consistent or continuous over a period. Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **not subject to change or variation especially in behavior** - This could apply as "steady drinking" implies a consistent rate of drinking.
2. **not liable to fluctuate or especially to fall** - This sense is more related to stability in value or position, not directly applicable to the act of drinking.
3. **securely in position; not shaky** - This sense is related to physical stability, not relevant to the context of drinking.
4. **marked by firm determination or resolution; not shakable** - While this implies a certain steadfastness, it doesn't directly relate to the act of drinking in the given context.
5. **relating to a person who does something regularly** - "A steady drinker" is a common idiom that means someone who drinks regularly. The context here is about the act of drinking being steady over a period, not necessarily that the person is a regular drinker, though it could imply that.
6. **not easily excited or upset** - This refers to a person's temperament, not relevant to the act of drinking.

The phrase "steady drinking" is most closely related to the idea of consistent or continuous drinking over a period. The closest sense that captures this idea is sense 1, as it implies a consistent or unchanging rate of drinking. Sense 5, while related through the idiom "steady drinker," directly applies to the characterization of a person rather than the act of drinking itself. However, the context suggests that the drinking was continuous or consistent over the two hours, aligning with the general idea of "steady" as consistent or not changing.

Therefore, the best sense for "steady" in this context is related to the consistency or continuity of the action (drinking), which is best captured by sense 5, as it directly relates to the characterization of the drinking behavior as regular or consistent, similar to how a "steady drinker" is understood.

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

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes a scene where the narrator is trying to recall how he got involved with a stranger. He mentions that his memory is "blurred, after two hours of steady drinking." This indicates that the act of drinking is related to consuming alcoholic beverages.

2. **Candidate Senses Analysis**:
   - **Sense 1**: "the act of consuming liquids" with synonyms "imbibing, imbibition." This sense is general and could refer to drinking any kind of liquid, not necessarily alcoholic beverages.
   - **Sense 2**: "the act of drinking alcoholic beverages to excess" with synonyms "drink, boozing, drunkenness, crapulence" and an example "drink was his downfall." This sense specifically refers to excessive consumption of alcoholic beverages.

3. **Contextual Clues**:
   - The context implies that the narrator has been consuming alcoholic beverages ("after two hours of steady drinking").
   - The mention of being "blurred" suggests an effect of alcohol, indicating that the drinking was not just of any liquid but of alcoholic beverages to some extent.
   - The fact that the man is described as not being drunk but having a "strange intensity" and "cold fire burning behind" his eyes, and the overall context of trying to recall a blurred memory, suggests that alcohol was involved.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - Given that the context involves the consumption of alcoholic beverages and the effects associated with it (blurred memory), **Sense 2** ("the act of drinking alcoholic beverages to excess") is more appropriate. Although the narrator is not drunk, the context suggests that the drinking was significant enough to impact his memory.
   - The synonyms and example provided for Sense 2 ("drink, boozing, drunkenness, crapulence" and "drink was his downfall") further support this choice as they relate to the consumption of alcohol, often to excess.

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

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 scene where the protagonist is with a man he doesn't know well, referred to as a "stranger." The narrative involves the protagonist recalling how he ended up with this stranger and then describes an incident where the stranger is about to be hit by a van but is saved by the protagonist's intervention.

2. **Understanding the 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 focuses on the person's status as not belonging or being out of place in a particular environment.
   - **Sense 2**: "an individual that one is not acquainted with." This sense emphasizes the lack of acquaintance or familiarity between the protagonist and the stranger.

3. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context indicates that the protagonist and the stranger are not acquainted or have just met, as suggested by the protagonist's effort to recall how they got tied up with the stranger. This aligns with **Sense 2**.
   - While the stranger is in an environment (the street) where an incident occurs, the focus is not on the stranger being out of place in that environment but rather on the protagonist's relationship or lack thereof with the stranger.

4. **Making the Choice**:
   - The narrative emphasizes the protagonist's lack of acquaintance with the man, using phrases like "this stranger" and recalling the occasion of their meeting after drinking. This supports **Sense 2: "an individual that one is not acquainted with."**

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

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

The context describes a scene where a stranger is about to cross the street against the light, seemingly oblivious to the danger, and is saved by Phil's intervention. The sentence of interest is: "The stranger, his head seemingly sunk in thought, started to cross the street against the light just as a huge moving van roared through the intersection." Here, "thought" is used to describe the state the stranger is in, implying he is deeply engrossed or preoccupied.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "thought" as "the content of cognition; the main thing you are thinking about." The synonyms include "idea," and an example is "it was not a good idea; the thought never entered my mind." This sense focuses on a specific idea or concept being considered.

2. The second sense defines "thought" as "the process of using your mind to consider something carefully." Synonyms include "thinking, thought process, cerebration, intellection, mentation," with an example being "thinking always made him frown; she paused for thought." This sense emphasizes the act or process of thinking.

3. The third sense refers to "the organized beliefs of a period or group or individual," with examples like "19th century thought; Darwinian thought." This sense is more about a body of beliefs or ideologies.

4. The fourth sense is "a personal belief or judgment that is not founded on proof or certainty," with synonyms like "opinion, sentiment, persuasion, view." An example given is "my opinion differs from yours; I am not of your persuasion." This sense is about a personal viewpoint or conviction.

Given the context, the phrase "his head seemingly sunk in thought" suggests that the stranger is deeply engrossed or lost in his own thinking or contemplation. This aligns most closely with the second sense, which describes the process of thinking or being engrossed in thought. The context implies the stranger is so caught up in his thinking that he fails to notice the danger around him.

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

Instructions:
1. Choose the single best indexed sense for the target word in context.
2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

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

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

Here, "started" is used in the context of initiating an action, which is crossing the street. The action of crossing the street is something the stranger begins to do.

Let's examine the relevant candidate senses:

1. "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" - This definition fits the context as the stranger begins to cross the street.
2. "set in motion, cause to start" - This doesn't fit as well because the subject is not causing something else to start; rather, the subject is starting an action.
3. "leave" or "move or jump suddenly" - While "leave" could potentially fit in some contexts, "move or jump suddenly" is more related to being startled, which isn't the primary meaning here.

The most relevant definition is "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" because the stranger begins the action of crossing the street. This matches with sense index 1.

Therefore, the best choice is: {"sense_index": 1}
