Let me analyze the context and candidate senses for the word "hopes" in the given sentence.

The sentence is: "It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing and will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country"

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=hope%2:37:01:: | definition=expect and wish | synonyms=trust, desire | examples=I trust you will behave better from now on; I hope she understands that she cannot expect a raise

2. sense_key=hope%2:37:00:: | definition=be optimistic; be full of hope; have hopes | examples=I am still hoping that all will turn out well

3. sense_key=hope%2:31:00:: | definition=intend with some possibility of fulfilment | synonyms=go for | examples=I hope to have finished this work by tomorrow evening

In context, the sentence reads: "It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing..."

The organization (The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers) is expressing an intention or goal - to speak to students about bell ringing. This is future-oriented and expresses a plan or intention.

Sense 1: "expect and wish" - This is about expectation and desire. While the sentence does involve some expectation, the primary meaning seems to be about intention.

Sense 2: "be optimistic; be full of hope; have hopes" - This is about being optimistic or hopeful in general, not about a specific intention or plan.

Sense 3: "intend with some possibility of fulfilment" - This fits well. The organization intends to speak to students, with the possibility that this will happen. This is about having a plan or intention for the future.

The structure "It hopes to [verb]" is best captured by sense 3, which uses the same construction "I hope to have finished this work by tomorrow evening."

The answer should be sense 3.

The phrase "speak to students at theological colleges" describes the Central Council's intention to address or give a talk/presentation to students. This matches sense 4 ("give a speech to; address"), which is also supported by the synonym "address" and the example pattern of communicating with a group of people about a specific topic.

Let me analyze the context and the candidate senses for the word "speak".

The context: "It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing..."

This sentence is about the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers intending to communicate with students at theological colleges.

Let me go through each sense:

1. sense_key=speak%2:32:00:: | definition=express in speech | synonyms=talk, utter, mouth, verbalize, verbalise
   - This is about expressing something through speech

2. sense_key=speak%2:32:01:: | definition=exchange thoughts; talk with | synonyms=talk
   - This is about having a conversation or discussion with someone

3. sense_key=speak%2:32:02:: | definition=use language | synonyms=talk
   - This is about the general ability to use language

4. sense_key=speak%2:32:03:: | definition=give a speech to | synonyms=address | examples=The chairman addressed the board of trustees
   - This is about giving a speech or presentation to an audience

5. sense_key=speak%2:39:00:: | definition=make a characteristic or natural sound
   - This is about making a sound (not applicable here)

In the context "It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing", the council intends to communicate with (give a talk/speech to) students at theological colleges.

The structure "speak to students about X" suggests they will be giving a presentation or addressing the students. This aligns most closely with sense 4: "give a speech to" / "address".

Sense 1 is too general (express in speech).
Sense 2 is more about exchange/conversation rather than addressing.
Sense 3 is about using language in general.
Sense 4 is about giving a speech or address to an audience, which matches perfectly.
Sense 5 doesn't apply here. The correct answer is sense 4.

The context specifies "students at theological colleges," which refers to learners currently enrolled in an educational institution. Sense 1 ("a learner who is enrolled in an educational institution") directly matches this usage, whereas sense 2 refers to accomplished scholars with mastery in a discipline, which is not the intended meaning here.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the word "students" in this passage about bell ringing.

The full context is: "It hopes to speak to <t>students</t> at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing..."

Key contextual clues:
1. The students are at "theological colleges" - this is a specific educational institution
2. They are being addressed about bell ringing
3. The context involves learning about bell ringing from the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers

Now let me examine the two candidate senses:

Sense 1: "a learner who is enrolled in an educational institution" | synonyms: pupil, educatee
- This refers to people actively studying at educational institutions
- The phrase "students at theological colleges" directly aligns with this definition
- These are people currently enrolled in college

Sense 2: "a learned person (especially in the humanities); someone who by long study has gained mastery in one or more disciplines" | synonyms: scholar, scholarly person, bookman
- This refers to someone who has achieved mastery through long study
- This is more about accomplished scholars rather than current learners

Given the context "students at theological colleges," this clearly refers to people who are currently enrolled in an educational institution (theological colleges), not accomplished scholars. These are learners in the process of their education.

The best answer is sense 1.

The context shows "students at theological colleges," which refers to theological institutions of higher education where students study. This is clearly referencing the colleges as institutions themselves (sense 2), not as a collective body of people (sense 1) or as physical buildings (sense 3).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully.

The target word is "colleges" in the phrase "theological colleges".

The context talks about the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers wanting to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing.

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=college%1:14:00:: | definition=the body of faculty and students of a college
   - This refers to the collective body/group of people at a college

2. sense_key=college%1:14:01:: | definition=an institution of higher education created to educate and grant degrees; often a part of a university
   - This refers to the institution itself (the abstract entity or organization)

3. sense_key=college%1:06:00:: | definition=a complex of buildings in which an institution of higher education is housed
   - This refers to the physical buildings/location

In the context "will shortly speak to students at theological colleges," the sentence is clearly referring to where students are located - the institutions themselves. The phrase "at theological colleges" indicates places/institutions where students study theology.

If it were sense 1 (the body of faculty and students), it would be more natural to say "to theological college students" or "to students of theological colleges."

If it were sense 3 (buildings), the phrase would be odd because you don't typically "speak to students at [buildings]" - you speak to students at institutions.

Sense 2 (an institution of higher education) makes the most sense. The phrase "at theological colleges" refers to theological institutions/colleges as places where students gather.

The answer should be sense 2.

The phrase "joys of bell ringing" refers to the delightful aspects or sources of happiness that bell ringing provides to people. This aligns with sense 2, which defines joy as "something or someone that provides a source of happiness," rather than sense 1, which refers to the emotional state itself. The context emphasizes what makes bell ringing appealing and worthwhile to students—the positive experiences it offers.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "joys" is being used.

The sentence is: "It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing and will shortly publish a booklet..."

The two candidate senses are:
1. joy%1:12:00:: - "the emotion of great happiness" (synonyms: joyousness, joyfulness)
2. joy%1:09:00:: - "something or someone that provides a source of happiness" (synonyms: delight, pleasure; examples: "a joy to behold; the pleasure of his company")

In the context, "the joys of bell ringing" refers to the pleasurable aspects or positive experiences of bell ringing. This could be interpreted as:
- Sense 1: The emotions of happiness that bell ringing creates
- Sense 2: The things that provide happiness (bell ringing itself as a source of joy)

Looking at the phrase more carefully: "the joys of bell ringing" - this is talking about the pleasurable aspects/sources of happiness that come from bell ringing. It's referring to what makes bell ringing enjoyable.

Sense 2 seems more appropriate here because it's talking about something that provides a source of happiness - bell ringing itself is a source of joy/happiness. The phrase "joys of [activity]" typically refers to the pleasurable aspects or sources of delight of that activity.

Actually, let me reconsider. "The joys of bell ringing" could mean:
- The happy feelings/emotions one experiences from bell ringing (Sense 1)
- The delightful aspects of bell ringing that serve as sources of happiness (Sense 2)

Sense 2 seems to fit better because the context is about convincing theological students about the positive aspects of bell ringing - it's presenting bell ringing as something that provides happiness/delight.
Sense 2 is the right fit here. The phrase emphasizes bell ringing as a source of delight rather than just the emotional state it produces.

The context clearly discusses bell-ringing as an activity and practice within church life. The passage mentions "bell-ringer" as a role people take on, discusses "the joys of bell ringing" as an activity students can learn about, and references "ringing groups." This matches sense 3: "playing a set of bells that are (usually) hung in a tower" - the activity of ringing church bells. Sense 1 refers to the sound produced (not the activity itself), and sense 2 is about political campaigns (completely irrelevant to this church context).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully to determine the correct sense of "bell ringing."

Looking at the passage:
- It mentions "the ringers from above" (people who ring bells)
- It discusses "bell-ringer" as an activity/hobby
- Vicar Marshall is "an active bell-ringer himself"
- The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers is described as "a sort of parliament of ringing groups"
- It mentions "hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing"
- The booklet is titled "The Bells in Your Care"
- The context is entirely about church bells and the people who ring them

The three candidate senses are:
1. sense_key=bell_ringing%1:11:00:: | "the sound of someone playing a set of bells" - This is the sound produced
2. sense_key=bell_ringing%1:10:00:: | "persuasion of voters in a political campaign" - This is clearly not relevant; this is about electioneering/canvassing
3. sense_key=bell_ringing%1:04:00:: | "playing a set of bells that are (usually) hung in a tower" - This is the activity of playing bells in a church setting, with synonym "carillon"

The context strongly indicates we're talking about the activity/practice of ringing church bells (the hobby/activity of bell-ringers), not the sound itself. The passage discusses:
- Bell-ringers as people
- The joys of the activity
- It as a priority in church life
- The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers groups

Sense 3 seems to be the best fit: "playing a set of bells that are (usually) hung in a tower" - this describes the activity/practice itself, which matches the context about people who ring bells in churches and the cultural practice.

Sense 1 would refer to the sound produced, but the context is about the activity and the people who do it.
Sense 2 is clearly wrong—it's about political campaigns. The answer is sense index 3.

The context indicates that the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers "will shortly publish a booklet," meaning they plan to publish it in the near future. This aligns with sense 2 ("in the near future") with synonyms like "soon" and "before long," rather than sense 1 (which means "for a short time") or the other senses which are inapplicable.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "shortly".

The sentence is: "It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing and will <t>shortly</t> publish a booklet for every vicar in the country entitled, 'The Bells in Your Care.'"

The word "shortly" here is being used to indicate that something will happen in the near future - they will publish a booklet soon.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "for a short time" - This would mean something happened briefly, like "he was at the airport shortly before" meaning for a short period. This doesn't fit the context - they're not saying they'll publish for a short time, they're saying they will publish in the near future.

2. "in the near future" - This fits perfectly. "will shortly publish" means "will publish in the near future/soon". The synonyms are "soon, presently, before long" which all fit this context. The examples support this too.

3. "in a curt, abrupt and discourteous manner" - This doesn't fit at all. There's nothing rude or curt about publishing a booklet.

4. "in a concise manner; in a few words" - This doesn't fit. We're not talking about how to communicate something concisely.

5. "at a short distance" - This refers to physical proximity. This doesn't fit in this context about future publications.

The best fit is sense 2: "in the near future" with synonyms "soon, presently, before long". The context clearly shows that the Central Council will publish a booklet in the near future.

The context describes the Central Council preparing to make a booklet available to vicars across the country. This aligns best with sense 2 ("prepare and issue for public distribution or sale"), as the organization is creating and distributing a practical guide. The synonyms "bring out, put out, issue, release" all fit the act of making the booklet available to the public. Sense 1 focuses narrowly on printing, while sense 3 emphasizes individual authorship, neither of which captures the organizational distribution context as well.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the three candidate senses for "publish":

Context: "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers...will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country entitled, 'The Bells in Your Care.'"

The three candidate senses are:
1. sense_key=publish%2:36:01:: - "put into print" - examples about printing newspapers and news
2. sense_key=publish%2:32:00:: - "prepare and issue for public distribution or sale" - examples about publishing magazines/newspapers
3. sense_key=publish%2:32:00:: - "have (one's written work) issued for publication" - examples about an author writing/publishing books

In this context, the Central Council is planning to publish a booklet. They are creating/producing a booklet and making it available for distribution to vicars. This is not about an individual author's work being published.

Let me think about each:
1. "put into print" - This is about the physical act of printing. While publishing does involve printing, the context is more about producing and distributing a booklet.
2. "prepare and issue for public distribution or sale" - This fits well. They are preparing a booklet and issuing it for distribution to vicars.
3. "have (one's written work) issued for publication" - This implies an author's work being published, which seems less fitting here since it's an organization publishing a practical guide.

Sense 2 seems most appropriate because it emphasizes "prepare and issue for public distribution" which aligns with the context of making a booklet available to all vicars in the country. The synonyms "bring out, put out, issue, release" all fit the context well.

The answer should be sense index 2.

The context clearly indicates a Church of England setting. Multiple clues support this:
- "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers" is a specifically British organization
- The reference to publishing "a booklet for every vicar in the country" suggests a UK national context
- The language and tone align with British ecclesiastical discourse
- A vicar in this context is "appointed to act as priest of a parish," which matches the responsibilities implied in the passage regarding oversight of church bells and parish life

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "vicar" is being used.

The context mentions:
1. "Vicar Marshall" - a person who is "both a vicar and an active bell-ringer"
2. The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers discusses relations with vicars
3. They plan to publish a booklet for "every vicar in the country"
4. This is set in the context of churches and bell ringing

Let me examine the three senses:
1. A Roman Catholic priest who acts for another higher-ranking clergyman
2. (Episcopal Church) a clergyman in charge of a chapel
3. (Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish

The context mentions:
- "The Bells in Your Care" - suggesting responsibility for church property
- "The ringers from above" - referring to bell ringers in the church tower
- Discussion of church life and experience
- Reference to "the country" (suggesting UK context based on language style)
- The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers (this is a real organization in Britain)

The phrase "church life" and the reference to "the country" with the booklet for "every vicar in the country" suggests this is likely the Church of England context. In the Church of England, vicars are appointed to act as priests of a parish, which is sense 3.

The Roman Catholic sense (sense 1) wouldn't fit because in Catholicism, they use different terminology and the organizational structure is different.

The Episcopal Church sense (sense 2) is American, and while possible, the British context with "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers" and the language used strongly suggests Church of England.

The best answer is sense 3: "(Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish"

The context refers to publishing a booklet "for every vicar in the country." This clearly refers to the nation-state as a politically organized entity (the UK in this case), not to rural areas, specific regions, or purely territorial/geographical boundaries. Sense 1 (a politically organized body of people under a single government) best fits this usage, where "country" means the nation as a unified governmental and political body.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence reads: "will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the <t>country</t> entitled, "The Bells in Your Care.""

The context is about church bell ringers and vicars. They are publishing a booklet "for every vicar in the country." This refers to all vicars within a specific nation (the UK, based on the context about Church Bell Ringers).

Let me examine each sense:

1. sense_key=country%1:14:00:: - "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - This refers to the state/nation as a political entity (synonyms: state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic)

2. sense_key=country%1:15:00:: - "the territory occupied by a nation" - This is the physical/geographical territory (synonyms: state, land)

3. sense_key=country%1:14:01:: - "the people who live in a nation or country" - This refers to the people/inhabitants (synonyms: nation, land; examples mention "nation's mood")

4. sense_key=country%1:15:01:: - "an area outside of cities and towns" - This is rural area, which doesn't fit the context

5. sense_key=country%1:15:02:: - "a particular geographical region" - This is also about geography/regions, doesn't fit as well

In the phrase "for every vicar in the country," the word "country" refers to the nation as a whole. This could be either:
- Sense 1: The politically organized body/state
- Sense 2: The territory
- Sense 3: The people

Given the context "a booklet for every vicar in the country," this is most naturally interpreted as referring to the nation-state as a political unit - sense 1 or 2.
Between the two, "in the country" emphasizes the nation-state as a political entity rather than merely its physical boundaries, making sense 1 the most fitting interpretation.

The context clearly indicates that the booklet is being given a title or name: "will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country entitled, 'The Bells in Your Care.'" This directly matches sense 2 (give a title to), where "entitled" means the booklet is named or titled "The Bells in Your Care." Sense 1 (give the right to) and sense 3 (give a title to someone/make someone nobility) do not fit this context.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "entitled" is used:

"...will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country <t>entitled</t>, "The Bells in Your Care.""

In this context, "entitled" is describing a booklet. The booklet is being given a title or name. The booklet's title is "The Bells in Your Care."

Let me examine the three senses:

1. sense_key=entitle%2:41:00:: | definition=give the right to | examples=The Freedom of Information Act entitles you to request your FBI file
   - This means "to give someone a right or privilege to do something"
   - Not applicable here - the booklet isn't being given a right

2. sense_key=entitle%2:32:00:: | definition=give a title to | synonyms=title
   - This means "to give a name/title to something"
   - This is clearly what's happening - the booklet is being given the title "The Bells in Your Care"
   - This fits perfectly!

3. sense_key=entitle%2:41:01:: | definition=give a title to someone; make someone a member of the nobility | synonyms=ennoble, gentle
   - This means "to give a title/name to someone" or "to make someone nobility"
   - This could apply to giving a title to something, but it's specifically about giving titles to persons and making them nobility
   - The booklet is not a person, so this seems less appropriate

The most appropriate sense is #2, which means "give a title to" - this directly applies to giving a name/title to a booklet.

The answer should be sense_index: 2

The context discusses church bell ringing, bell ringers pulling ropes, and the physical bells in churches being cared for by vicars. This refers to the actual metal devices that produce sound when struck, which is sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "bell" is being used here.

The passage is about church bell ringing. The key phrases are:
- "here come the ringers from above" - referring to bell ringers
- "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church"
- "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers"
- "The Bells in Your Care" - a booklet for vicars about church bells

The context is clearly about church bells - the actual metal devices that make ringing sounds when struck. This is distinct from:
- A doorbell (sense 2)
- The sound itself as a phenomenon (sense 3 - though related)
- Nautical bell signals (sense 4)
- The shape of a bell (sense 5)
- The people named Bell (senses 6, 7, 8)
- A set of tuned bells/chimes (sense 9)
- The flared opening (sense 10)

The passage discusses:
1. Bell ringers pulling the ropes
2. The sound of bells drawing people to church
3. Bells being in the care of vicars
4. Church bell ringing

Sense 1 is the definition: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck"

This perfectly fits the context. The passage is talking about the actual physical church bells, not the sound they make (sense 3), not bell-shaped objects (sense 5), not bells as percussion instruments in an orchestra (sense 9).

The answer is sense 1.

The phrase "The Bells in Your Care" refers to the vicars' responsibility and guardianship over the church bells. Sense 5 ("attention and management implying responsibility for safety" with synonyms like "charge" and "guardianship") best captures this meaning of entrusting the bells to the vicars' charge, rather than focusing on the actual maintenance work (sense 6) or caution in handling (sense 2).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The target lemma is "care" and it appears in the phrase "The Bells in Your Care."

Looking at the context:
- The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers is publishing a booklet for vicars
- The booklet is titled "The Bells in Your Care"
- This is about responsibility and management of church bells
- The booklet is directed at vicars who have responsibility for the bells in their churches

Now let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=care%1:04:01:: - "the work of providing treatment for or attending to someone or something" with examples about medical care and car maintenance. This could work in the sense of attending to the bells.

2. sense_key=care%1:09:00:: - "judiciousness in avoiding harm or danger" - This is about caution and careful handling. Could relate to careful treatment.

3. sense_key=care%1:12:01:: - "an anxious feeling" - Not relevant here.

4. sense_key=care%1:12:00:: - "a cause for feeling concern" - Not relevant here.

5. sense_key=care%1:04:02:: - "attention and management implying responsibility for safety" with synonyms "charge, tutelage, guardianship" and examples about being in someone's care. This is about having responsibility for something or someone.

6. sense_key=care%1:04:00:: - "activity involved in maintaining something in good working order" with examples about car care and maintenance.

The phrase "The Bells in Your Care" suggests that the vicars have responsibility for the bells. The booklet is meant to help them understand their responsibility/guardianship over the bells.

Sense 5 seems most appropriate because it talks about "attention and management implying responsibility for safety" and uses the word "charge" as a synonym, meaning something is entrusted to their responsibility. The example "he is in the care of a bodyguard" shows how "care" is used to describe responsibility/guardianship.
Sense 5 captures the notion of stewardship and entrusted responsibility, which is fundamentally different from the maintenance-focused senses 1 and 6, or the caution-oriented sense 2. The answer is 5.

The context shows "Says Mr. Baldwin" introducing a direct quote. This is a standard use of "say" to express words or statements verbally, which matches sense 1 ("express in words"). The similar example "He said that he wanted to marry her" parallels the structure where "say" introduces what someone has communicated. While sense 8 (utter aloud) is semantically close, sense 1 is the more general and standard sense for this attribution of speech.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence is:

"Says Mr. Baldwin, "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience.""

This is a case where "says" is used in an attributive/reporting construction - it's used to attribute a quote to Mr. Baldwin. The word "says" is introducing direct speech.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "express in words" - This is the basic sense of saying something. The examples "He said that he wanted to marry her" show expressing something in words.

2. "report or maintain" - This involves asserting something as a claim. Examples like "He alleged that he was the victim" show this.

3. "express a supposition" - This is about hypothetical statements. Examples with "Let us say" show this.

4. "have or contain a certain wording or form" - This is about what text says, not about speaking.

5. "give instructions or direct somebody" - This is about commanding. Examples like "I said to him to go home" show this.

6. "speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way" - This is about how things are said, pronunciation.

7. "communicate or express nonverbally" - This is non-verbal communication.

8. "utter aloud" - This is about saying something out loud. Example "She said 'Hello' to everyone in the office" shows someone uttering words aloud.

9. "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" - This is about declaring an opinion.

10. "recite or repeat a fixed text" - This is about repeating known texts like prayers.

11. "indicate" - This is about showing/indicating something.

In the context given, Mr. Baldwin is being reported as speaking. The "says" is introducing his direct quote about church priorities. This is simply expressing words/statements. The most basic and fitting sense is sense 1: "express in words" - which covers the act of saying something verbally, with the examples showing direct attribution similar to what we see here.
Sense 8 could work as well since it emphasizes the vocal utterance, but sense 1 is the more standard choice for attributing speech like this.

The context shows Mr. Baldwin expressing awareness or understanding that the bell-ringers "may no longer have as high a priority in church life." The verb "recognize" here means to be fully aware or cognizant of a situation or fact, which aligns with sense 2: "be fully aware or cognizant of." The synonyms "realise" and "realize" further confirm this interpretation—he is realizing/becoming aware of their changing status in the church.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "recognize" carefully.

The sentence is: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

This is Mr. Baldwin speaking about the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers and their understanding/awareness of their declining priority in church life.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "accept (someone) to be what is claimed or accept his power and authority" - This doesn't fit. It's about accepting someone or their authority.

2. "be fully aware or cognizant of" - This fits well. Mr. Baldwin is saying they are aware/understand that they no longer have high priority.

3. "detect with the senses" - This doesn't fit. There's no sensory detection happening here.

4. "perceive to be the same" - This doesn't fit. It's not about perceiving two things as being the same.

5. "grant credentials to" - This doesn't fit. No credentials are being granted.

6. "express greetings upon meeting someone" - This doesn't fit. This isn't about greeting.

7. "express obligation, thanks, or gratitude for" - This doesn't fit. There's no expression of obligation or gratitude.

8. "exhibit recognition for (an antigen or a substrate)" - This is a biological/chemical sense that doesn't fit.

9. "show approval or appreciation of" - This doesn't fit. They're not saying they appreciate something; they're acknowledging/realizing something about their status.

The best fit is sense 2: "be fully aware or cognizant of" - this captures the meaning of Mr. Baldwin recognizing/being aware that their priority has declined.

The sense index would be 2.

The target word "no" in the phrase "may no longer have as high a priority" is functioning as an adverbial modifier meaning "not at all" or "not anymore." This matches sense 2, which is defined as "not in any degree or manner; not at all" with the example "he is no better today." The construction "no longer" expresses the absence or negation of continuing at the same priority level.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the target word "no" in the sentence:

"We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

The word "no" here is used in the phrase "no longer" which means "not anymore" or "not at all anymore."

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. sense_key=no%4:02:02:: - "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present" with synonyms "no more" and examples "he was no heavier than a child"
   - This sense refers to "no" as a degree modifier, like "no heavier" meaning "not heavier" - emphasizing a negative degree/quality. The example shows "no" modifying an adjective to show absence of that quality.

2. sense_key=no%4:02:01:: - "not in any degree or manner; not at all" with examples "he is no better today"
   - This sense means "not at all" - the example "he is no better" means he hasn't improved. The phrase "no longer" would fit this sense meaning "not anymore/not at all anymore."

3. sense_key=no%4:02:00:: - "used to express refusal or denial or disagreement etc or especially to emphasize a negative statement"
   - This is typically used as a standalone response (like saying "no" to a question). The examples show this is for refusing or denying something explicitly.

In the context "may no longer have as high a priority," the word "no" is functioning as an adverbial modifier meaning "not at all" or "not anymore." This fits best with sense 2 (no%4:02:01::), which explicitly means "not in any degree or manner; not at all."

The phrase "no longer" = "not anymore" = "not in any manner anymore," which directly matches sense 2's definition of "not in any degree or manner; not at all."

The answer should be sense 2.

The phrase "as high a priority" refers to priority having greater degree or intensity of importance. In context, Mr. Baldwin is saying that bell ringing may no longer be ranked with greater importance in church life. This matches sense 1: "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount," which captures how "high" modifies the intensity/magnitude of the priority.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for the target word "high" in the phrase "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

The phrase is "as high a priority" - so "high" is being used to modify "priority". In this context, it's comparing the level of priority.

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount" - This means "high" refers to something being of great degree or intensity. The phrase "high priority" means a priority that has greater importance or significance.

2. "(literal meaning) being at or having a relatively great or specific elevation or upward extension" - This is the spatial/elevation meaning. Not applicable here.

3. "standing above others in quality or position" - This refers to superiority in quality or rank. "High priority" could mean a priority that stands above others in importance.

4. "used of sounds and voices; high in pitch or frequency" - Not applicable to priority.

5. "happy and excited and energetic" - Not applicable.

6. "(used of the smell of meat) smelling spoiled or tainted" - Not applicable.

7. "slightly and pleasantly intoxicated" - Not applicable.

Between senses 1 and 3:
- Sense 1: "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount" - emphasizes that something exceeds normal levels
- Sense 3: "standing above others in quality or position" - emphasizes ranking/superiority

"High priority" typically means a priority that is ranked higher in importance or has greater significance. The phrase "no longer have as high a priority" means they're no longer ranked as high in terms of importance.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate because it focuses on the degree of importance ("greater than normal in degree"). A "high priority" is one with greater degree/intensity of importance compared to normal priorities.

Actually, both could work, but sense 1 is more directly about degree/intensity, which better captures "high priority" as a priority with greater intensity/importance.
The answer is sense 1.

The sentence indicates that bell ringing "may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience," referring to its relative importance or urgency within the church's activities. This matches sense 1, which defines priority as "status established in order of importance or urgency." Sense 2 (temporal precedence) is not relevant to the context, which deals with ranking by importance rather than by time.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context and the two candidate senses for "priority" in this sentence:

"We recognize that we may no longer have as high a <t>priority</t> in church life and experience."

Context analysis:
- Mr. Baldwin is acknowledging that bell ringing may no longer be as important or urgent in church life
- He's discussing the status or importance of bell ringing relative to other church activities
- The sentence conveys the idea that bell ringing has become less important/urgent in the church

Candidate senses:
1. Sense 1: "status established in order of importance or urgency"
   - Synonyms: precedence, precedency
   - Examples mention "its precedence as the world's leading manufacturer" and "national independence takes priority over class struggle"
   - This sense is about ranking in terms of importance or urgency

2. Sense 2: "preceding in time"
   - Synonyms: antecedence, antecedency, anteriority, precedence, precedency
   - This sense is about something coming before in time

In the context provided, Mr. Baldwin is saying that bell ringing no longer has "as high a priority" - meaning it's no longer as important or urgent in church life. This is clearly about ranking in terms of importance/urgency, not about time precedence.

The correct sense is Sense 1: "status established in order of importance or urgency"

The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}

The phrase "church life and experience" refers to the life and experience of the church community/congregation. Mr. Baldwin is expressing concern that bell ringers may no longer be a high priority in the life and activities of the local church body and its members. This matches sense 4: "the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine which sense of "church" is being used.

The sentence is: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in <t>church</t> life and experience."

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=church%1:14:00:: - a group of Christians with their own beliefs and forms of worship
2. sense_key=church%1:06:00:: - a place for public (especially Christian) worship (church building)
3. sense_key=church%1:04:00:: - a service conducted in a house of worship
4. sense_key=church%1:14:01:: - the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church

The phrase "church life and experience" is key here. What does "church life" mean?

- If it's sense 1 (group of Christians with beliefs/forms of worship), "church life" would refer to the life of that denomination/group
- If it's sense 2 (physical place), "church life" would be odd - a building doesn't have life
- If it's sense 3 (church service), "church life" would be redundant with "service"
- If it's sense 4 (body of people at a local church), "church life" would mean the life of that congregation

The context is about bell ringing in churches and how bell ringers may no longer be a high priority in "church life and experience." This suggests a more general sense of the community/institution rather than a physical building or a service.

Sense 4 seems most appropriate - "the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church" - because "church life and experience" refers to the life and experience of the church community/congregation. The bell ringers are concerned they're not as important in the life of the church community anymore.

Actually, wait. Looking more carefully, sense 1 could also work - referring to the broader Christian church organization.

But given that Mr. Baldwin is discussing his relationship with vicars and local church priorities, sense 4 fits better as the intended meaning.

The phrase "church life" in this context refers to a characteristic state or mode of living within the church community—specifically the activities, experiences, and involvement of church members. This matches sense 1 ("a characteristic state or mode of living") with examples like "social life; city life," which are structurally and semantically parallel to "church life." Mr. Baldwin is discussing the priority and role of bell ringing within the domain of church activities and experiences.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context around the target word "life" in this passage.

The sentence is: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

This is Mr. Baldwin from the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers speaking. He's talking about the role of bell ringing in church activities. The phrase "church life" refers to the activities, experiences, and way of life within the church community.

Let me review the candidate senses:

1. "a characteristic state or mode of living" - examples: social life; city life - This seems relevant as "church life" would be a characteristic mode of living/participating in church.

2. "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities" - This is too broad.

3. "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living" - This is about individual life paths.

4. "the condition of living or the state of being alive" - Too biological/physical.

5. "the period during which something is functional" - Not relevant here.

6. "the period between birth and the present time" - Not relevant.

7. "the period from the present until death" - Not relevant.

8. "a living person" - Not relevant.

9. "animation and energy in action or expression" - Could fit, but seems less precise.

10. "living things collectively" - Not relevant.

11. "the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones" - Not relevant.

12. "an account of the series of events making up a person's life" - Not relevant.

13. "a motive for living" - Not relevant.

14. "a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives" - Not relevant.

The best match is sense 1: "a characteristic state or mode of living" with examples like "social life; city life". "Church life" is exactly this kind of phrase - referring to the characteristic activities and mode of living within the church community, just like "social life" or "city life" refers to activities and experiences in those domains.

The context describes Mr. Baldwin's concern about prioritizing "church life and experience" in relation to bell ringing activities. The word here refers to the subjective content of direct participation in religious/church activities—the lived experience of being part of church community. This matches sense 2, which defines experience as "the content of direct observation or participation in an event," exemplified by "he had a religious experience." The religious context and the parallel structure with "church life" (suggesting the personal, experiential aspects of religious involvement) align most closely with this sense rather than sense 1 (accumulated knowledge/skill) or sense 3 (an event as perceived).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The sentence is:

"We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

Here, "church life and experience" are being discussed together as things that may no longer have high priority. This is being contrasted with bell ringing.

Let me look at the three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=experience%1:09:01:: - "the accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities" (e.g., "a man of experience; experience is the best teacher")

2. sense_key=experience%1:09:00:: - "the content of direct observation or participation in an event" (e.g., "he had a religious experience; he recalled the experience vividly")

3. sense_key=experience%1:11:00:: - "an event as apprehended" (e.g., "a surprising experience; that painful experience certainly got our attention")

In the context: "We may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

This seems to be talking about religious experience - the actual events and activities people participate in at church, or the subjective content of religious involvement. It's not about accumulation of knowledge (sense 1) in the way experience is used as a skill or learning outcome.

Looking at sense 2: "the content of direct observation or participation in an event" - this fits well with the context of church experiences and religious experiences.

Looking at sense 3: "an event as apprehended" - this is similar to sense 2, but focuses more on the event itself as perceived.

Given that Mr. Baldwin is talking about "church life and experience" as things that may lose priority, and he's concerned that bell ringers are not being drawn into "that fuller life," it seems like "experience" refers to the lived, subjective content of participating in church life - which would be sense 2.
Sense 2 is the best fit because it captures the subjective, participatory nature of religious involvement—the example "he had a religious experience" directly parallels the church context here. The answer is sense 2, so sense_index is 2.

The context shows Mr. Baldwin addressing "the greater problem: lack of ringers." The phrase "attacking the problem" is an idiomatic expression meaning to work on or tackle a task with vigor and determination. This matches sense 5 ("set to work upon; turn one's energies vigorously to a task"), which is the metaphorical usage of "attack" when applied to problems or tasks rather than physical or verbal aggression.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of "attacking" in this sentence:

"Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers."

The context is about Mr. Baldwin addressing a problem - the lack of bell ringers. He's working on this problem, trying to address it and improve the situation.

Let me consider each sense:

1. "launch an attack or assault on; begin hostilities or start warfare with" - This is clearly about military/physical combat. Not applicable here.

2. "attack in speech or writing" - This could mean criticizing something publicly. While Baldwin might be addressing this problem, the context doesn't suggest he's criticizing or attacking it verbally/publicly in a hostile way.

3. "take the initiative and go on the offensive" - This is about military/combat offensive action. Not applicable.

4. "attack someone physically or emotionally" - This is about harming someone. Not applicable.

5. "set to work upon; turn one's energies vigorously to a task" - This means to work on a problem with energy and determination. "Attacking a problem" is a common metaphorical use meaning to tackle it with vigor. This fits the context well - Baldwin is addressing/tackling the problem of lack of ringers.

6. "begin to injure" - This is about causing harm or damage. Not applicable.

The best fit is sense 5: "set to work upon; turn one's energies vigorously to a task". This is the idiomatic usage where "attacking a problem" means tackling it with determination and energy.
