The word "says" in this context is used to attribute or report what Mr. Baldwin maintains about the council's program's success. This is a classical use of "report or maintain" (sense 2), where the speaker is relaying Mr. Baldwin's assertion that the program is "only partly successful." The synonyms "allege" and "aver" align well with this attributive use, similar to the example "He said it was too late to intervene in the war."

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

The sentence in question is: "says Mr. Baldwin" - this appears in the context of: "But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin."

This is a meta-commentary where the speaker is attributing a statement to Mr. Baldwin. The structure "says Mr. Baldwin" is commonly used to attribute speech or opinion to someone.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "express in words" - This could work, as speaking involves expressing in words.
2. "report or maintain" - This refers to asserting or claiming something, like reporting information.
3. "express a supposition" - This is about supposing or hypothetical statements.
4. "have or contain a certain wording or form" - This is about what something contains as text (like a document).
5. "give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority" - This is about ordering someone to do something.
6. "speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way" - This is about how something is spoken/pronounced.
7. "communicate or express nonverbally" - This is about non-verbal communication.
8. "utter aloud" - This is about speaking something out loud.
9. "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" - This is about stating an opinion or making a declaration.
10. "recite or repeat a fixed text" - This is about repeating memorized text.
11. "indicate" - This is about showing or pointing out.

In this context, "says Mr. Baldwin" is being used to introduce or attribute a statement that Mr. Baldwin has made. The function here is to "report or maintain" - Mr. Baldwin is reporting/claiming/maintaining that the council's program is only partly successful.

Sense 2 ("report or maintain" with synonyms allege, aver) seems most appropriate here, as it indicates the reporting or stating of information, similar to how "says Mr. Baldwin" functions in this context.
The core function is simply attributing speech to Mr. Baldwin. Looking at the specific examples—sense 1 shows "He said that he wanted to marry her" while sense 2 includes "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime"—the distinction becomes clearer. Since "says Mr. Baldwin" is reporting what he claims about the council's program, sense 2 fits better than the more basic sense 1.

The phrase "Right now" in the sentence means "at the present time" or "at this moment." This corresponds to sense 2 ("immediately"), which encompasses the meaning of present temporal reference. While the example given ("she called right after dinner") shows temporal proximity, the sense of "immediately" also covers the meaning of "at this present moment" as used in "Right now."

finish_reason: stop

role: assistant

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of "Right" in the sentence:

"Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10."

Here "Right" is being used to mean "at the present time" or "at this moment". Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "precisely, exactly" - stand right here! (This would be about exact positioning)
2. "immediately" - she called right after dinner (This is about time, but "immediately after")
3. "exactly" - he fell flop on his face (This is about exact manner)
4. "toward or on the right" - he looked right and left (This is about direction)
5. "in the right manner" - please do your job properly! (This is about doing something correctly)
6. "an interjection expressing agreement" - right on (This is an exclamation)
7. "completely" - she felt right at home (This is about completeness)
8. "(Southern regional intensive) very" - the baby is mighty cute (This is about degree)
9. "in accordance with moral standards" - that serves him right (This is about justice/morality)
10. "in an accurate manner" - the flower had been correctly depicted (This is about accuracy)

Looking at the sentence "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10," the word "Right" here means "at the present time" or "currently".

Sense 2 says "immediately" with the example "she called right after dinner" - this is about temporal immediacy or proximity in time.

Sense 1 says "precisely, exactly" - this doesn't fit temporal meaning.

Actually, "Right now" is an idiom that means "at the present moment" or "at this time". Looking at sense 2, it says "immediately" which can mean "at once" or "at the present time". While the example is "she called right after dinner", the sense definition of "immediately" could also mean "at this present moment".
The phrase "right now" functions as a temporal marker indicating the current moment. Sense 2 captures this best—"immediately" encompasses both the notion of "at once" and "at the present time," making it the most fitting match for how "right" operates in this context.

The phrase "Right now" in the context means "at the present moment." Mr. Baldwin is describing the current situation regarding the retention of new ringers, indicating an immediate present timeframe rather than referring to a general era, a command, historical narration, or the recent past.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of "now" in the sentence:

"Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10," he adds.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=now%4:02:05::** - "in the historical present; at this point in the narration of a series of past events" - This is about narrating past events in present tense. Not applicable here.

2. **sense_key=now%4:02:00::** - "in these times; nowadays, today" - This refers to the current era or period. The phrase "right now" could fit this, but it's more specific to the current moment.

3. **sense_key=now%4:02:02::** - "used to preface a command or reproof or request" - This is used for commands like "now hear this!" Not applicable here.

4. **sense_key=now%4:02:04::** - "at the present moment" - This is the most direct and literal meaning. "Right now" means "at the present moment."

5. **sense_key=now%4:02:01::** - "without delay or hesitation; with no time intervening" - This means "immediately" or "right away." The phrase "right now" could suggest urgency/immediacy.

6. **sense_key=now%4:02:07::** - "(prefatory or transitional) indicates a change of subject or activity" - Not applicable here as "now" isn't introducing a new topic.

7. **sense_key=now%4:02:06::** - "in the immediate past" - This refers to the recent past, as in "just now." The phrase is "right now," not "just now."

The phrase "Right now" in this context means "at the present moment" or "currently." This best matches sense 4 (at the present moment) or possibly sense 2 (in these times/nowadays). However, "right now" is more about the immediate present moment rather than a general time period, so sense 4 seems most appropriate.
Sense 5 could apply if there were urgency involved, but here it's describing the current situation rather than demanding immediate action. Sense 4 is the strongest match.

The context indicates that Mr. Baldwin is expressing that it would be a fortunate outcome *by chance* if they retain one new ringer out of ten after five years. The phrasing "we're lucky if..." describes an uncertain event that would be fortunate if it occurred—aligning with sense 1's definition of "occurring by chance" with examples like "a lucky escape" which similarly describe fortunate outcomes that happen by chance rather than by design.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully.

The sentence is: "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10"

This is saying that it would be fortunate/fortunate if they can keep one new ringer out of 10. The context is that they're expressing uncertainty about whether they'll succeed.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "occurring by chance" - This is about something happening by chance. The example "a lucky escape" suggests an unexpected positive outcome. In the context, "lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer" could mean it's a matter of chance/luck whether they retain a ringer.

2. "having or bringing good fortune" - This describes something or someone that has/brings good fortune. Example "my lucky day" - a day blessed with good fortune. This could fit - the sentence suggests hoping for good fortune.

3. "presaging or likely to bring good luck" - This is about something that predicts or is likely to bring good luck. Examples like "favorable time" and "lucky stars" suggest circumstances that are auspicious.

The key phrase is "we're lucky if..." - this is expressing that it would be fortunate/a matter of luck if they keep one ringer out of 10. This is essentially saying "we're fortunate/it's fortunate if..."

Sense 1 emphasizes "occurring by chance" - like luck playing a role in the outcome
Sense 2 emphasizes "having or bringing good fortune" - like something/someone is fortunate or blessed
Sense 3 emphasizes "presaging or likely to bring" - about what's auspicious/favorable

In "we're lucky if..." the speaker is saying it would be a matter of good fortune/luck if they achieve the outcome. This is closest to sense 2 - "having or bringing good fortune" - expressing that this outcome would be fortunate.

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 1: "occurring by chance" with example "a lucky escape" - this describes an outcome that happened by chance in a fortunate way.
The phrasing "we're lucky if we keep one ringer" emphasizes the uncertain, chance-dependent nature of the outcome—whether they'll successfully retain talent is essentially a matter of fortune. Sense 1 captures this better than sense 2, since it specifically addresses outcomes determined by chance rather than just general good fortune.

The phrase "after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10" uses "years" to denote a standard calendar period. Mr. Baldwin is referring to a 5-year time span as a measure of retention over time. This corresponds to the basic sense of year as a 365/366-day period, not a specialized school year (sense 2), a planetary period (sense 3), or a graduating cohort (sense 4).

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

"Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10"

The context is about a time period - specifically, Mr. Baldwin is saying that after a 5-year period, they hope to retain one new ringer out of every 10 they recruit.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=year%1:28:01:: | definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | synonyms=twelvemonth, yr | examples=she is 4 years old; in the year 1920
   - This is the basic definition of a year as a calendar year (365/366 days)

2. sense_key=year%1:28:02:: | definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
   - This is a specific part of a calendar year used for a particular activity

3. sense_key=year%1:28:00:: | definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
   - This is about planetary years, not relevant here

4. sense_key=year%1:14:00:: | definition=a body of students who graduate together | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High
   - This is about a cohort of students, not relevant here

The sentence "after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10" is referring to a time period of five calendar years (365-day periods). This is a straightforward use of the basic sense of "year" - a standard calendar year.

Sense 1 is the best match - it's referring to the period of time that contains 365 (or 366) days, used in a temporal measure of how long it takes to retain ringers.

The context describes a newly trained bell ringer who has just entered the field through the church's training program. The term "new ringer" refers to someone lacking experience in bell ringing, which matches the sense definition "lacking training or experience" with the synonym "raw" and example of "raw recruits." This is supported by the broader context about retention difficulties - trainers struggle to keep new recruits because they are inexperienced and may not persist in the role.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "new" is used to describe "ringer":

"Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10," he adds.

The context is about the church's program to attract and train bell ringers. "New ringer" here refers to someone who has recently been trained or recruited - someone who is inexperienced at the job.

Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=new%3:00:00:: - "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered" - This could work as it refers to someone recently acquired/trained.

2. sense_key=new%5:00:00:original:00 - "original and of a kind not seen before" - Not applicable here.

3. sense_key=new%5:00:00:inexperienced:00 - "lacking training or experience" with synonyms "raw" and examples "the new men were eager to fight; raw recruits" - This fits perfectly! A "new ringer" is someone who has just been trained and lacks experience in the field.

4. sense_key=new%5:00:00:unprecedented:00 - "having no previous example or precedent" - Not applicable.

5. sense_key=new%5:00:00:other:00 - "other than the former one(s); different" - Not the right sense.

7. sense_key=new%5:00:02:original:00 - "gratuitously new" or "newfangled" - Not applicable.

8-11. Various other senses that don't apply.

The best fit is sense 3, which explicitly means "lacking training or experience" and has the synonym "raw" with examples about "new men" and "raw recruits" - which is exactly what a "new ringer" would be - someone recently recruited and trained but lacking real experience.
Sense 3 is the stronger choice because it captures the inexperience dimension that the passage implies—the difficulty in retaining trained ringers stems from their lack of hands-on experience, not merely their recent recruitment.

The context clearly refers to people who ring church bells. The passage discusses trained bellringers, the shortage of people to ring bells in churches, and a council's program to attract and train ringers. The phrase "lack of ringers" and references to "100,000 trained bellringers" and their role in rural parishes and inner-city churches make it unambiguous that "ringer" refers to a person who rings church bells.

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

The passage is discussing:
- Church bells and bell ringing
- The problem of lack of trained bellringers in England
- A council's program to attract and train ringers
- The context mentions "bellringers," "trained bellringers," and "ringers" who ring bells

The quote mentions: "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10"

This is clearly referring to people who ring church bells.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=ringer%1:18:02:: | definition=a person who rings church bells (as for summoning the congregation) | synonyms=toller, bell ringer
   - This fits perfectly. The context is about church bell ringers, bellringers, people trained to ring bells.

2. sense_key=ringer%1:18:01:: | definition=a person who is almost identical to another | synonyms=dead ringer, clone
   - This doesn't fit. The context isn't about someone being identical to another person.

3. sense_key=ringer%1:18:00:: | definition=a contestant entered in a competition under false pretenses
   - This doesn't fit. There's no mention of false pretenses or competition.

4. sense_key=ringer%1:04:00:: | definition=(horseshoes) the successful throw of a horseshoe or quoit so as to encircle a stake or peg
   - This doesn't fit. The context has nothing to do with horseshoes or quoits.

The answer is clearly sense 1, which corresponds to index 1 (or sense_index 1).
Checking the numbering confirms this—the first sense listed is the church bell ringer definition, which aligns perfectly with the passage's focus on trained bellringers and the challenges of retaining them.

The word "adds" in this context means Mr. Baldwin continues speaking or states something further. The phrase "he adds" is used to introduce additional remarks in dialogue, which corresponds to the sense "state or say further." This is equivalent to saying "he remarked further" or "he continued," matching the synonym "append" and the example pattern of speech attribution.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context where "adds" appears:

"Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10," he adds.

This is being used in a quoted speech context. Mr. Baldwin is making a statement, and "adds" is being used to mean he continues speaking or adds further remarks.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. make an addition (to); join or combine or unite with others - This is about adding things physically or combining items.

2. state or say further | synonyms: append, supply - This is about continuing to speak or adding remarks to what was said. The example "'It doesn't matter,' he supplied" shows similar usage.

3. bestow a quality on | synonyms: lend, impart, bestow, contribute, bring - This is about adding qualities or attributes.

4. make an addition by combining numbers - This is mathematical addition.

5. determine the sum of - This is mathematical calculation.

6. constitute an addition - This is about being an addition to something.

In the context given, "he adds" means Mr. Baldwin continues speaking or adds further remarks to what he's been saying. This is clearly sense 2: "state or say further" with synonyms "append, supply". The example given "'It doesn't matter,' he supplied" is very similar usage where the verb is used to indicate someone is continuing their speech.

The answer should be sense index 2.

The phrase "One bright sign" uses "bright" in the sense of "full of promise" or "hopeful/promising." The context describes a positive development (more women entering the field of bellringing), which represents an encouraging sign for the future of the profession. This matches sense 10 with its definition "full of promise" and synonyms "hopeful, promising," as evidenced by the example "had a bright future in publishing."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully. The phrase is "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field..."

In this context, "bright sign" is an idiomatic expression meaning a promising or hopeful sign. The speaker is noting something positive about the situation with ringers.

Let me examine each sense:

1. "emitting or reflecting light readily" - This is literal light, doesn't fit the context.
2. "having striking color" - Not relevant to a "sign" in this metaphorical sense.
3. "characterized by quickness and ease in learning" - Not about intelligence here.
4. "having lots of light either natural or artificial" - Physical light, not relevant.
5. "made smooth and bright by or as if by rubbing" - About shine/polish, not relevant.
6. "splendid" - Could work, but more about magnificence than hopefulness.
7. "not made dim or less bright" - Physical light concept, not relevant.
8. "clear and sharp and ringing" - About sound quality, not relevant.
9. "characterized by happiness or gladness" - Could potentially work, but the context suggests "promising" or "hopeful."
10. "full of promise" - This is it! "had a bright future in publishing" and "the scandal threatened an abrupt end to a promising political career" - the definition and examples match perfectly. "A bright sign" = "a promising sign" = "a sign full of promise."

The best sense is #10: sense_key=bright%5:00:00:auspicious:00, which means "full of promise" with synonyms "hopeful, promising."

The phrase "One bright sign is that..." uses "sign" to mean an encouraging indicator of positive developments to come. The growing number of women entering bellringing is presented as an auspicious sign (augury) that suggests hopeful changes ahead for the field, despite current recruitment challenges. This aligns with sense 8: "an event that is experienced as indicating important things to come."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to find the best sense for "sign" in the phrase "One bright sign..."

Context: The passage is discussing the problem of not enough bellringers, but then mentions that "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field."

This phrase "One bright sign" is referring to a positive indicator or evidence that something good is happening - specifically, that more women are entering the bellringing field.

Let me look at the senses:

1. "a perceptible indication of something not immediately apparent" - This could work, as women entering the field is an indication of positive change.
2. "a public display of a message" - This doesn't fit; we're not talking about a physical display.
3. "any nonverbal action or gesture that encodes a message" - Doesn't fit.
4. "structure displaying a board" - Doesn't fit.
5. "one of 12 equal areas into which the zodiac is divided" - Doesn't fit.
6. "any objective evidence of the presence of a disorder or disease" - Medical usage, doesn't fit.
7. "having an indicated pole" - Mathematical/physics usage, doesn't fit.
8. "an event that is experienced as indicating important things to come" - This is about an omen or augury, something that foretells future events. This could work.
9. "a gesture that is part of a sign language" - Doesn't fit.
10. "a fundamental linguistic unit linking a signifier to that which is signified" - Doesn't fit.
11. "a character indicating a relation between quantities" - Doesn't fit.

Between sense 1 and sense 8:
- Sense 1: "a perceptible indication of something not immediately apparent"
- Sense 8: "an event that is experienced as indicating important things to come"

The phrase "One bright sign is that..." suggests something positive that indicates or foretells good things to come.

Sense 8 fits better because it captures the notion of something that portends future developments. The growing number of women entering bellringing represents an encouraging indicator of positive momentum ahead for the field.

The word "number" in "a growing number of women" refers to a quantity or indefinite amount of units (women). This matches sense 1, which defines "number" as "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals," with the example "he had a number of chores to do" being structurally identical to the target usage.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the best sense for "number" in this sentence:

"One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women."

The phrase "a growing number of women" means "a growing quantity of women" or "an increasing amount of women."

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=number%1:07:00:: | "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals" - This matches! The examples given are "he had a number of chores to do; the number of parameters is small" which are very similar in structure to "a growing number of women"

10. sense_key=number%1:10:05:: - This is about grammatical category, not applicable

The best fit is sense 1 (sense_key=number%1:07:00::), which defines it as "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals." This perfectly captures the meaning of "a growing number of women" - it's referring to a quantity of women.

The context describes female individuals entering and participating in bell-ringing. The phrase "a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field" refers to adult female persons (individuals) who are becoming bellringers, distinct from men. This is the basic, primary sense of "women" as adult female persons, not women as a romantic relationship figure (sense 2), domestic workers (sense 3), or women as an abstract collective class (sense 4).

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context of the word "women" in this passage.

The context is about bellringers in England. The passage states: "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women."

Let me examine each candidate sense:

1. **sense 1** (woman%1:18:00::): "an adult female person (as opposed to a man)" - This is the basic definition referring to adult female individuals.

2. **sense 2** (woman%1:18:01::): "a female person who plays a significant role (wife or mistress or girlfriend) in the life of a particular man" - This refers to women in romantic/relationship contexts with men. This doesn't fit the context about bellringers.

3. **sense 3** (woman%1:18:02::): "a human female employed to do housework" - This refers to domestic workers/housekeepers. This doesn't fit the context about bellringers.

4. **sense 4** (woman%1:14:00::): "women as a class" - This refers to women collectively as a social group.

In the context, "women have entered the once male-dominated field" is talking about female individuals entering bell-ringing as a profession/activity. The phrase "more than a third of the ringers today are women" is referring to female ringers as individuals.

The key phrase is "a growing number of women" - this refers to multiple individual women, not women as an abstract class. If it were sense 4 (women as a class), it would be more like "women as a group have made progress" or similar.

Sense 1 is the most straightforward interpretation: adult female persons who are bellringers, contrasting with the male ringers. This is the basic definition of women as adult female persons.
The correct answer is sense 1, since the passage uses "women" to denote the female bellringers themselves—individual women entering and participating in the field—rather than referring to women as a broader social category.

The context describes women joining or becoming participants in the bellringing field, which was previously male-dominated. The phrase "entered the once male-dominated field" means they became involved in and became participants of this activity/profession. This matches sense 2: "become a participant; be involved in," with the synonyms showing similar usage (participate, enter a race, enter an agreement).

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

Context: "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women."

The sentence is talking about women joining the bellringing field - a field that was previously dominated by men. So "entered" here means they have joined or become participants in this field.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "come or go into" - physical movement into a space. Not really fitting here - women aren't physically going into a place.

2. "become a participant; be involved in" - This fits well. Women are becoming participants in the bellringing field. The example "enter a race; enter an agreement" shows similar usage where you become involved in an activity.

3. "register formally as a participant or member" - This is more specific about formal registration. We don't have evidence of formal registration in the context.

4. "be or play a part of or in" - This could fit, but it's a bit odd.

5. "make a record of" - Doesn't fit.

6. "come on stage" - Doesn't fit.

7. "take on duties or office" - Doesn't fit.

8. "put or introduce into something" - Doesn't fit.

9. "set out on (an enterprise or subject of study)" - This could fit, as entering a field/career. But this is more about starting on an enterprise.

The best fit is sense 2: "become a participant; be involved in" - women have become participants in the bellringing field, which was previously male-dominated.

The answer should be {"sense_index": 2}.

In this context, "once male-dominated field" means the field was "formerly male-dominated" or "male-dominated at a previous time." The passage is noting that while the bellringing field was historically male-dominated, women have now entered it in significant numbers. This corresponds to sense 3, which defines "once" as "at a previous time" with synonyms like "formerly" and "at one time."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context to determine the correct sense of "once" in this passage.

The sentence is: "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the <t>once</t> male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women."

Here, "once" is describing "male-dominated field." The phrase "once male-dominated" means it was "male-dominated at a previous time" or "formerly male-dominated."

Looking at the three candidate senses:

1. sense_key=once%4:02:00:: | definition=on one occasion | synonyms=one time, in one case | examples=once I ran into her
   - This means "on one single occasion" - not the right sense here.

2. sense_key=once%4:02:02:: | definition=as soon as | examples=once we are home, we can rest
   - This means "immediately when" or "as soon as" - not the right sense here.

3. sense_key=once%4:02:01:: | definition=at a previous time | synonyms=formerly, at one time, erstwhile, erst | examples=at one time he loved her; her erstwhile writing
   - This means "at a previous time" or "formerly" - this matches! The field was "once male-dominated" = "formerly male-dominated" = it was male-dominated in the past.

The correct sense is sense 3, which relates to "at a previous time" or "formerly."

The phrase "entered the field" refers to women joining the profession or domain of bellringing. While sense 4 (branch of knowledge/discipline) could apply, sense 7 (a particular environment or walk of life, sphere, domain) is more appropriate here because the context discusses bellringing as a professional practice or domain of activity, not an academic discipline. The synonyms "sphere," "domain," "area," and "arena" align better with the meaning of entering a professional field.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully to determine the correct sense of "field" in this sentence:

"One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women."

The text is discussing bellringing - a profession/activity/domain. The phrase "entered the field" means women have started participating in this domain/discipline of bellringing.

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. A piece of land cleared of trees - doesn't fit
2. A region where a battle is being fought - doesn't fit
3. Somewhere away from studio/office where practical work is done - could fit but not the best
4. A branch of knowledge / discipline - this fits! "entered the field" = entered the discipline/profession of bellringing
5. Electromagnetic field - doesn't fit
6. A particular kind of commercial enterprise - could fit, as bellringing is an enterprise
7. A particular environment or walk of life / sphere, domain, area - this also fits! "entered the field" = entered the domain/sphere of bellringing
8. A piece of land prepared for playing a game - doesn't fit
9. Extensive tract of level open land - doesn't fit
10. Mathematical field - doesn't fit
11. A region where military operations are in progress - doesn't fit
12-17. Various other specific senses - don't fit

The best matches are between sense 4 (branch of knowledge/discipline) and sense 7 (sphere, domain, area, arena).

The phrase "entered the field" is idiomatic and means to enter a profession or domain. Both senses 4 and 7 capture this meaning. However, sense 4 is defined as "a branch of knowledge" with examples about academic disciplines. Sense 7 is defined as "a particular environment or walk of life" with synonyms including "sphere, domain, area, orbit, arena."
Sense 7 better captures the professional context here since bellringing isn't necessarily an academic discipline—it's a walk of life and professional domain. The examples for sense 4 lean toward academic fields, while sense 7's broader definition of "environment" and "sphere" aligns more closely with how the text describes bellringing as a profession. So sense 7 is the right choice.

The phrase "more than a third of the ringers today are women" uses "third" to refer to one of three equal parts of a divisible whole—specifically, a proportion or fraction (approximately 1/3) of the total number of ringers. This matches sense 1's definition and the synonymous use of "one-third."

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context for "third" in this sentence:

"more than a third of the ringers today are women"

The phrase "a third of the ringers" is talking about a fraction or portion of the total number of ringers. Specifically, it's referring to one-third as a fraction of a whole.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "one of three equal parts of a divisible whole" - This fits perfectly! "A third" means one of three equal parts. This is clearly referring to a fraction/proportion.

2. "the fielding position in baseball" - Not relevant, this is about baseball.

3. "following the second position in an ordering or series" - This would be about ordinal position (like third place, third person), not a fraction.

4. "the musical interval" - Not relevant, this is about music.

5. "the third forward ratio gear in a motor vehicle" - Not relevant, this is about car gears.

6. "the base in baseball" - Not relevant, this is about baseball.

The context clearly shows "third" is being used as a fractional part - "more than a third of the ringers" means more than one-third or approximately 33% of the ringers. This matches sense 1 perfectly.

The answer should be sense 1.

The context is about church bellringing in England. The passage discusses:

- References to "bells need to be rung" in parishes and churches

This is clearly about people who ring church bells. Let me examine the candidate senses:

1. "a person who rings church bells (as for summoning the congregation)" - This perfectly matches the context. The passage is entirely about bellringers in churches.

2. "a person who is almost identical to another" (dead ringer, clone) - This doesn't fit at all. The context isn't about identical people or lookalikes.

3. "a contestant entered in a competition under false pretenses" - This doesn't fit the church bellringing context.

4. "(horseshoes) the successful throw of a horseshoe or quoit so as to encircle a stake or peg" - This is about horseshoes, not church bells.

The answer is clearly sense 1, which is about church bellringers. The context explicitly mentions "trained bellringers," "ring" in the context of church bells, "the bells need to be rung," and the field of bellringing.

The word "today" in this context refers to "the present time or age" (the current era or present moment in general), not to a specific calendar day. The sentence "more than a third of the ringers today are women" means "in the present time/currently, more than a third of the ringers are women." This aligns with Sense 1, which expresses the current state of affairs in the bellringing community at large, similar to the example "the world of today."

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

The sentence is: "more than a third of the ringers today are women."

Let me look at the two candidate senses:

1. Sense 1: "the present time or age" - examples: "the world of today; today we have computers"
2. Sense 2: "the day that includes the present moment (as opposed to yesterday or tomorrow)" - examples: "Today is beautiful; did you see today's newspaper?"

In the context, "today" is used to mean "at the present time" or "currently" - it's referring to the current state of things (in the present era/age). The sentence is saying that currently/at present, more than a third of the ringers are women.

This is more aligned with Sense 1 (the present time or age) because it's referring to the current situation in general, not to a specific day. If it were Sense 2, we'd expect it to refer to a specific day (like "today, more than a third of the ringers are women" meaning literally on this specific day).

The usage here is similar to "the world of today" mentioned in the examples for Sense 1, where "today" refers to the present era/time, not a specific calendar day.

So the answer should be Sense 1, which would be index 1.

The context makes clear that "women" refers to adult female persons who have entered the previously male-dominated field of bell ringing. The passage explicitly contrasts women with "the male-dominated field," directly supporting the first sense of an adult female person (as opposed to a man). The other senses do not fit: sense 2 relates women to specific men, sense 3 refers to housekeeping workers, and sense 4 treats women as an abstract class rather than individual practitioners.

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

The context is about bell ringers in England. The passage states: "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women. They are not accepted everywhere, however."

The passage is talking about female bell ringers joining a traditionally male-dominated profession. The use of "women" here refers to adult female persons (as opposed to men) who are bell ringers.

Let me evaluate each sense:

1. **sense_key=woman%1:18:00::** "an adult female person (as opposed to a man)" - This is the most straightforward interpretation. The sentence contrasts women with the male-dominated field, indicating women as adult females.

2. **sense_key=woman%1:18:01::** "a female person who plays a significant role (wife or mistress or girlfriend) in the life of a particular man" - This doesn't fit. The passage isn't about women in relation to particular men's lives.

3. **sense_key=woman%1:18:02::** "a human female employed to do housework" - This doesn't fit either. The women being discussed are bell ringers, not housekeeping workers.

4. **sense_key=woman%1:14:00::** "women as a class" - While this could potentially apply since "more than a third of the ringers today are women" references women as a group, the primary sense here is simply adult female persons who are bell ringers, not women abstractly as a class.

The best fit is sense 1: an adult female person (as opposed to a man). The context explicitly contrasts women entering a "male-dominated field," which directly maps to the definition of adult female persons (as opposed to men).

Target surface form: accepted
Context:
One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring. Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches. But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin. "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10, "he adds. One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women. They are not <t>accepted</t> everywhere, however. The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

The context indicates that women bell-ringers are not being admitted into certain bell-ringing organizations, particularly the Ancient Society of College Youths. The sense that best fits is "admit into a group or community" - women are not being accepted (admitted) as members of these groups.

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

The sentence is: "They are not accepted everywhere, however."

This is referring to women bell-ringers who have entered the field. The context indicates that while women have made progress (more than a third of ringers are women), they face resistance - they are not accepted everywhere. Specifically, the Ancient Society of College Youths, being male-only, doesn't accept women.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "consider or hold as true" - Not the right sense. This is about believing something is true.

2. "receive willingly something given or offered" - This could fit, but it's more about receiving a physical object or offer.

3. "give an affirmative reply to; respond favorably to" - This is about responding to a request/invitation.

4. "react favorably to; consider right and proper" - This is about having a favorable reaction. This could work - women are not considered right and proper by some groups.

5. "admit into a group or community" - This is about admitting someone into a group. This fits very well! Women are not being admitted into the Ancient Society of College Youths.

6. "take on as one's own the expenses or debts" - Not relevant.

7. "tolerate or accommodate oneself to" - This is about tolerating, which is related but different from being admitted.

8. "be designed to hold or take" - Not relevant.

9. "receive (a report) officially" - Not relevant.

10. "make use of or accept for some purpose" - Not quite right.

11. "be sexually responsive to" - Not relevant here.

The best fit is sense 5: "admit into a group or community". The context is that women are not being accepted (admitted) into certain bell-ringing organizations, particularly the prestigious ones like the Ancient Society of College Youths.
Sense 4 could also work, but sense 5 is more precise since the passage specifically concerns organizational membership and admission rather than general social approval.
