reasoning_content: We are given a target lemma "improve" in a context discussing the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers aiming to improve relations with vicars. The word is transitive here: "aims to improve relations with vicars". So it means to make better, not to become better. Therefore sense 1 is correct. Sense 2 is intransitive, meaning to get better. So the answer should be sense index 1.

reasoning_content: We are given a target lemma "vicar" with surface form "vicars" in context. The context is about a church, bell ringing, and a vicar named C.J.B. Marshall. The text mentions "vicar of a nearby church", "Vicar Marshall", and "every vicar in the country". The context is clearly Church of England (mentions "the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers", "theological colleges", "the Bells in Your Care"). The sense 3 is specifically for Church of England: a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish. Sense 1 is Roman Catholic, sense 2 is Episcopal Church. The context does not indicate Roman Catholic or Episcopal; it's clearly Church of England. So sense 3 is the best.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform WSD on the target word "says" in the given context. The context is: "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, a sort of parliament of ringing groups, aims to improve relations with vicars, <t>says</t> John C. Baldwin, president." This is a reporting statement: "says John C. Baldwin, president." This is a typical use of "say" to report what someone said. It is not a direct quote but a reported statement. This fits sense 1 (express in words) or sense 2 (report or maintain). The synonyms for sense 1 are "state, tell". For sense 2 are "allege, aver". The context is reporting a statement by the president. It is not alleging or averring in a contentious way. It is simply stating. Also note the example for sense 1: "He said that he wanted to marry her" which is similar to reporting. The example for sense 2: "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime" has a connotation of claiming something that might be disputed. Here it's just a statement. So sense 1 is better. Also sense 9 is "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" but that seems less appropriate. The context is simply reporting what someone said. So I'll go with sense 1.

Thus the answer JSON: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content: We are given: "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, a sort of parliament of ringing groups, aims to improve relations with vicars, says John C. Baldwin, president." The target is "president" referring to John C. Baldwin. He is the president of the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, which is described as "a sort of parliament of ringing groups". This suggests an organization or association. The relevant sense is likely the officer who presides at meetings of an organization (sense 4). Sense 1 is executive officer of a firm or corporation, but this is a council, not a firm. Sense 2 and 6 are specific to US President. Sense 3 is chief executive of a republic. Sense 5 is head of a college. So sense 4 fits best: "the officer who presides at the meetings of an organization". The synonyms include chairperson, etc. The context is about a council, so sense 4 is appropriate.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "hope" with surface form "hopes" in the context. The sentence: "It <t>hopes</t> to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing and will shortly publish a booklet..."

We need to choose among three candidate senses:

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

The context: "It hopes to speak to students..." This is a future intention with possibility of fulfilment. The verb "hopes" here is followed by an infinitive ("to speak"), which aligns with sense 3: "intend with some possibility of fulfilment". The example for sense 3 is "I hope to have finished this work by tomorrow evening", which has a similar structure: hope + infinitive. Sense 1 is "expect and wish" often with a that-clause or object, and sense 2 is more general optimism without a specific intention. Here, the subject "It" (the Central Council) has a specific plan/intention to speak to students. So sense 3 is the best fit.

Thus, the answer should be {"sense_index": 3}.

This is about giving a presentation or addressing an audience. Sense 4: "give a speech to" with synonym "address" fits well. Sense 1 is general expression, sense 2 is exchange thoughts, sense 3 is use language, sense 5 is a natural sound. The context clearly indicates a formal or semi-formal address to students. So sense_index 4.

We need to determine which sense of "student" is used in the context. The target surface form is "students" and it appears in the phrase "speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing". Theological colleges are educational institutions where people study to become clergy or theologians. The word "students" here refers to learners enrolled in those colleges, i.e., people who are studying. This matches sense 1: a learner who is enrolled in an educational institution. Sense 2 refers to a learned person, someone who has mastery, which doesn't fit because they are still students in training. Also synonym "pupil" fits better. So sense_index 1.

Response: {"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
We are asked to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "colleges" (lemma "college") in the given context. The context mentions "theological colleges" where students are spoken to about bell ringing. The candidates are:

1. The body of faculty and students of a college
2. An institution of higher education created to educate and grant degrees; often a part of a university
3. A complex of buildings in which an institution of higher education is housed

The phrase "theological colleges" suggests institutions that provide theological education, likely part of a university or independent seminaries. The context says "speak to students at theological colleges," which indicates the institutions themselves, not just the faculty/student body (sense 1) or the physical buildings (sense 3). Sense 2, "an institution of higher education created to educate and grant degrees," fits best because "theological colleges" are institutions that offer education and likely grant degrees. Moreover, the plural "colleges" here refers to multiple such institutions. The examples in WordNet for sense 2 include "the college of medicine" etc. So sense 2 is the most appropriate.

Thus, the answer is {"sense_index": 2}.

2. sense_key=joy%1:09:00:: | definition=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 the happiness derived from bell ringing. It is not referring to the emotion itself but rather the things that cause joy. The phrase "the joys of X" typically means the various pleasures or delightful aspects of X. This matches sense 2: "something or someone that provides a source of happiness". The synonyms "delight, pleasure" fit. The example "a joy to behold" shows a similar usage. Therefore, sense index 2 is correct.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "bell_ringing" in the context of a text about church bell ringers. The context discusses the activity of ringing church bells, the sound of bells, and the ringers themselves. The candidate senses are:

1. bell_ringing%1:11:00:: - the sound of someone playing a set of bells
2. bell_ringing%1:10:00:: - persuasion of voters in a political campaign (electioneering, canvassing)
3. bell_ringing%1:04:00:: - playing a set of bells that are (usually) hung in a tower (carillon, carillon playing)

Clearly, sense 2 is about political campaigning, which has nothing to do with this context. Between senses 1 and 3, sense 1 focuses on the sound, while sense 3 focuses on the activity. The context mentions "bell ringing" as an activity: "the joys of bell ringing" and "the ringers themselves." It also says "playing a set of bells" in sense 3's definition matches "bell-ringer" and the activity described. The sound is also mentioned, but the primary focus is on the practice of ringing bells, not just the sound. The sense with synonyms "carillon, carillon playing" aligns with the idea of a set of bells in a tower. Therefore, sense 3 is the most appropriate.

Thus, the answer is {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target word "shortly" in context: "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 entitled, 'The Bells in Your Care.'"

The context indicates that the booklet will be published in the near future. This matches sense 2: "in the near future" with synonyms "soon, presently, before long". The example "the book will appear shortly" is directly analogous.

Therefore, the best sense is sense 2.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "publish" in the context: "will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country". The booklet is being produced and distributed. Sense 2 is "prepare and issue for public distribution or sale" with synonyms bring out, put out, issue, release. That fits: they are going to issue/put out a booklet. Sense 1 is "put into print" – that also could apply, but sense 2 emphasizes distribution and public sale/issue. The context says "for every vicar" – distribution. Sense 3 is "have (one's written work) issued for publication" which is more about the author. The booklet is being published by the Central Council, not an individual author. So sense 2 is best.

The context mentions "vicar" in a Church of England setting (the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, theological colleges, etc.). The senses are: 1 (Roman Catholic priest acting for another), 2 (Episcopal Church clergyman in charge of a chapel), 3 (Church of England clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish). The context is clearly about the Church of England, so sense 3 is the most appropriate. Vicar Marshall is a vicar in the Church of England sense. Thus, the answer is sense_index 3.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target lemma "country" in a context about church bell ringers and a booklet for every vicar in the country. The phrase "every vicar in the country" suggests the entire nation or territory. Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense 1: a politically organized body of people under a single government (state, nation). This is more about the political entity.
2. sense 2: the territory occupied by a nation (state, land). This is about the geographical territory.
3. sense 3: the people who live in a nation or country (nation, land). This is about the populace.
4. sense 4: an area outside of cities and towns (rural area). This is the countryside.
5. sense 5: a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (area). This is a more general region.

In the context: "will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country" - this likely means every vicar in the entire nation, not just rural areas. It refers to the whole territory or political entity. The phrase "in the country" often means within the nation. Among the senses, sense 2 ("the territory occupied by a nation") seems most appropriate. Sense 1 is about the political body, but here it's about location. Sense 3 is about the people, but the booklet is for vicars, who are people, but "in the country" modifies where they are. Sense 4 is rural, but that doesn't fit because it's for every vicar, not just rural ones. Sense 5 is too vague.

Thus, the best sense is sense 2.

reasoning_content:
We need to determine the correct sense of "bells" in the given context. The context discusses church bells, bell-ringing, and the sound of bells. The target phrase is "The Bells in Your Care" - a booklet for vicars about bells. The surrounding text talks about "the sound of bells" and "bell ringing". The candidate senses:

- Sense 1: a hollow device that makes ringing sound - this is the physical object.
- Sense 2: doorbell - not relevant.
- Sense 3: the sound of a bell being struck - but the booklet title "The Bells in Your Care" refers to the physical bells themselves, not just the sound. Also context: "the sound of bells is a net" - but that's a different mention. The booklet is about the care of the physical bells.
- Sense 4: nautical time - not relevant.
- Sense 5: shape of a bell - not relevant.
- Sense 6,7,8: proper names - not relevant.
- Sense 9: a set of tuned bells as an orchestral instrument - while church bells are tuned, the context is specifically about church bells, and the term "bells" here refers to the actual church bells in the tower. Sense 1 is more general. Sense 9 is for a percussion instrument like a chime or glockenspiel, which is not the typical church bell.
- Sense 10: flared opening of a tubular device - not relevant.

The best sense is sense 1: a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck. This matches church bells. The booklet is about caring for the physical bells.

Thus sense index is 1.

reasoning_content:
We need to choose the best sense for "Care" in the context: "The Bells in Your Care." The context is about a booklet for vicars regarding church bells. The phrase "in your care" implies responsibility for safety and management. Let's examine the senses:

1. sense 1: work of providing treatment or attending to someone/something. Examples: medical care. Not exactly fitting for bells.
2. sense 2: judiciousness in avoiding harm or danger, caution. "He handled the vase with care." Could fit, but more about careful handling.
3. sense 3: anxious feeling, concern. Not fitting.
4. sense 4: a cause for feeling concern. Not fitting.
5. sense 5: attention and management implying responsibility for safety, synonyms: charge, tutelage, guardianship. Example: "he is in the care of a bodyguard." This fits "in your care" – the bells are under the vicar's responsibility.
6. sense 6: activity involved in maintaining something in good working order, maintenance. "car care." Could also fit, but "in your care" implies responsibility, not just maintenance activity.

The phrase "The Bells in Your Care" suggests that the vicar is responsible for the bells, their safety and management. Sense 5 is most appropriate. The booklet is about improving relations and likely about the vicar's responsibility for the bells. So answer sense index 5.

reasoning_content: We are given a context with the target word "Says" appearing multiple times. The specific instance is: "says John C. Baldwin, president. It hopes to speak to students... <t>Says</t> Mr. Baldwin, 'We recognize...'" The speaker is reporting what Mr. Baldwin said. This is a straightforward reporting of speech. Sense 1 is "express in words" with synonyms state, tell. Sense 2 is "report or maintain" (allege, aver). The difference is subtle; sense 1 is more general expression, sense 2 is about reporting or maintaining something possibly with less certainty? But here it's a direct quote: "Says Mr. Baldwin, 'We recognize...'" This is simply stating something. Also, the earlier "he says" refers to Vicar Marshall's statement. So this is clearly sense 1: express in words. Sense 2 is more about alleging or maintaining, which carries a connotation of asserting something that might be disputed. Here it's a straightforward statement. So the best index is 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the sentence: "We recognize that we may <t>no</t> longer have as high a priority in church life and experience." The target word is "no" in the phrase "no longer". The phrase "no longer" means "not anymore" or "not now as before". This corresponds to a degree or manner. Looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=no%4:02:02:: | definition=referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present | synonyms=no more | examples=he was no heavier than a child
2. sense_key=no%4:02:01:: | definition=not in any degree or manner; not at all | examples=he is no better today
3. sense_key=no%4:02:00:: | definition=used to express refusal or denial or disagreement etc or especially to emphasize a negative statement | examples=no, you are wrong

The phrase "no longer" fits sense 1 (referring to degree, synonym "no more") or sense 2 (not at all). But "no longer" specifically indicates a change in degree or state over time. The example for sense 1 "he was no heavier than a child" uses "no" before a comparative, similar to "no longer" where "longer" is a comparative of "long" meaning time. Sense 2 uses "no" before a comparative as well ("no better"), but sense 2's definition is "not in any degree or manner; not at all". The nuance is that "no longer" means "not any longer", which is a degree sense. The synonyms for sense 1 include "no more", which is similar. Additionally, in WordNet, "no longer" is often classified under the adverb sense meaning "not now" as a degree adverb. Sense 3 is a discourse marker, not suitable here because it's not used as a response.

Thus, sense 1 is the best match. But let's double-check: the example for sense 1 includes "no heavier" which is a comparative, and "no longer" is also a comparative. Sense 2's example "no better" is also a comparative, but the definition is "not at all" which might be too strong. In context, "no longer" means "not anymore", which is about degree of time. I think sense 1 is more appropriate.

Therefore, answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We are given the sentence: "We recognize that we may no longer have as <t>high</t> a priority in church life and experience." The target word is "high" modifying "priority". The context is about church bell ringers and their priority in church life. The sense that fits is "greater than normal in degree or intensity or amount" (sense 1). The phrase "high priority" means a priority that is at a high level. Sense 2 is about literal elevation, not applicable. Sense 3 is about standing above others in quality or position, but that is more like "eminent" or "high places", not directly "high priority". Sense 4 is high pitch, not relevant. Sense 5 is happy, sense 6 is spoiled meat, sense 7 is intoxicated. So best is sense 1.

Sense 1 is about status established in order of importance or urgency, with synonyms precedence/precedency. Sense 2 is about preceding in time. The context talks about having a high priority, meaning high importance, not about time. Therefore sense 1 is correct. The index for sense 1 is 1. So output {"sense_index": 1}.

We are given the target lemma "church" in the context: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience." The target surface form is "church". The candidate senses are:

1. sense_key=church%1:14:00:: | definition=one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship | synonyms=Christian church

4. sense_key=church%1:14:01:: | definition=the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church | examples=our church is hosting a picnic next week

The context is "church life and experience". This phrase suggests the general activities, community, and aspects of being part of a church congregation, not the building or a specific service. The speaker is referring to the priority of bell ringing within the overall church life. This aligns with sense 4 (the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church) because "church life" would encompass the life of that community. Sense 1 is about a denomination, which is broader. Sense 2 is a building. Sense 3 is a service. The phrase "church life and experience" is not specifically about a building or a service, but about the community's life. The example for sense 4 is "our church is hosting a picnic next week" – that refers to the congregation. So sense 4 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
We are given the context: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience." The target word is "life" in "church life". The context is about the role of bell ringing in church life and experience. The speaker is saying that bell ringing may no longer have as high a priority in church life. So "life" here refers to the activities and events that occur in a church setting, i.e., the course of existence or the characteristic state of living in a church context. Looking at the senses:

Sense 1: "a characteristic state or mode of living" with examples "social life; city life". This fits well: "church life" is a mode of living or characteristic state of the church community.

Sense 2: "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities" - this is more general.

Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living" - this is individual, but "church life" is collective.

Sense 4: "the condition of living or the state of being alive" - too general.

Sense 5: "the period during which something is functional" - like lifespan, not appropriate.

Sense 6: "the period between birth and the present time" - not.

Sense 7: "the period from the present until death" - not.

Sense 8: "a living person" - no.

Sense 9: "animation and energy" - not.

Sense 10: "living things collectively" - not appropriate.

Sense 11: "the organic phenomenon" - no.

Sense 12: "an account of a person's life" - no.

Sense 13: "a motive for living" - possible but not.

Sense 14: "a prison term" - no.

The best is sense 1: "a characteristic state or mode of living". "Church life" is a specific mode of living, the activities and practices within the church. The example "city life" is analogous. So sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "experience" is used in the context. The sentence: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and <t>experience</t>." The phrase "church life and experience" suggests that "experience" is being used as a noun referring to the accumulated knowledge or participation in church activities? But let's analyze the candidate senses.

Sense 1: "the accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities" - examples: "a man of experience; experience is the best teacher". This sense emphasizes the knowledge/skill gained.

Sense 2: "the content of direct observation or participation in an event" - examples: "he had a religious experience; he recalled the experience vividly". This is about the event itself as perceived.

Sense 3: "an event as apprehended" - examples: "a surprising experience; that painful experience certainly got our attention". This is about an event that one goes through.

In the context, "church life and experience" likely refers to the realm of church activities and the experiential aspect. But note the phrase "have as high a priority in church life and experience". It seems to be talking about the priority that bell ringing has within the context of church life and the overall experience of being in church. However, "experience" here is a noun, and it is paired with "church life". Possibly it means the overall experience of church, i.e., the events or the accumulated knowledge? The word "experience" appears without an article, so it's abstract.

Given that they are talking about priority in church life and experience, it likely means the general experience of being a church member or the collective experience of the church community. This aligns more with sense 1 or 2. Sense 3 is more about a specific event. But the phrase "church life and experience" suggests a general domain. "Experience" as in the accumulation of knowledge from direct participation (sense 1) fits: the priority of bell ringing in church life and in the accumulated experience of church members. Alternatively, sense 2: "the content of direct observation or participation" could also work, but sense 2 often refers to a specific instance (e.g., a religious experience). Here it's general.

The examples for sense 1: "a man of experience" indicates someone who has gained skill/knowledge. For sense 2: "he had a religious experience" is a specific event. The context does not refer to a specific event but rather a general category. So sense 1 seems better.

Also note that the sentence says "in church life and experience" - it's a conjunction of two similar abstract nouns. Life and experience are both domains. I'd lean toward sense 1.

But let's check the exact wording: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience." It means that bell ringing may no longer be as high a priority in the church's life and in the experience of the church. "Experience" here could be the collective experience or the knowledge accumulated from participation. Sense 1 fits.

Thus, I choose sense index 1.

Sense 5: "set to work upon; turn one's energies vigorously to a task" with example "I attacked the problem as soon as I got out of bed." That fits well: he is attacking the problem, meaning he is addressing it vigorously. Sense 2 is about attacking in speech or writing, which could also fit but the context is about taking action to solve a problem, not necessarily verbal attack. The word "attacking" here is used figuratively to mean dealing with a problem. Sense 5 is the most appropriate. So the answer should be sense_index 5.

reasoning_content: We are given: "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers." The context describes a difficulty: lack of ringers. This is a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved. Sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" with synonyms job. Examples: "she and her husband are having problems; it is always a job to contact him." This fits well: the problem is a difficulty (lack of ringers). Sense 2: "a question raised for consideration or solution" - this is more like a puzzle or homework problem. Not appropriate. Sense 3: "a source of difficulty" with synonym trouble. This also fits, but note that sense 1 is "a state of difficulty" while sense 3 is "a source of difficulty". The context says "the greater problem: lack of ringers" – that is the source of difficulty, but it is also a state of difficulty. However, sense 1 has the synonyms "job" which is used in the example "it is always a job to contact him" meaning it's a difficult task. The context says "attacking the greater problem" – that sounds like addressing a difficulty. I think sense 1 is more precise: it's a state of difficulty (the lack of ringers is a problem, a difficulty). Sense 3 would be more like "the source of difficulty" is the lack itself, but it's used as "the greater problem" which is the difficulty itself. The WordNet glosses are schematic; we need to choose the best indexed sense. Typically, "problem" in such a context (a difficulty) is often sense 1. However, let's check the examples: sense 1: "she and her husband are having problems" – that's similar to having a difficulty. Sense 3: "what's the problem?" – also common. But sense 1 has the definition "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" which fits exactly: the lack of ringers is a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved. Sense 3 is "a source of difficulty" – that's slightly different: the lack of ringers is the source, but the problem itself is the difficulty. I think sense 1 is more appropriate. Also, the synonym "job" is not directly relevant. I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "ringer" in the context of church bells and bell ringers. The context clearly discusses people who ring church bells, and the lack of such people. The candidate senses are:

1. a person who rings church bells (toller, bell ringer)
2. a person who is almost identical to another (dead ringer, clone)
3. a contestant entered in a competition under false pretenses
4. (horseshoes) the successful throw of a horseshoe or quoit so as to encircle a stake or peg

The context: "lack of ringers" and "trained bellringers" and "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers" all point to sense 1. So the best sense is sense 1.

Thus the JSON should be {"sense_index": 1}.

Context:
"I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life. "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, a sort of parliament of ringing groups, aims to improve relations with vicars, says John C. Baldwin, president. 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 entitled, "The Bells in Your Care. "Says Mr. Baldwin, "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience. "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers. One <t>survey</t> 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.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=survey%1:04:02:: | definition=a detailed critical inspection | synonyms=study
2. sense_key=survey%1:10:00:: | definition=short descriptive summary (of events) | synonyms=sketch, resume
3. sense_key=survey%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of looking or seeing or observing | synonyms=view, sight | examples=he tried to get a better view of it; his survey of the battlefield was limited

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.

reasoning_content:
We are given a context: "One <t>survey</t> says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring." The word "survey" here refers to a study or report that provides data. The candidate senses are:
1. a detailed critical inspection (study)
2. short descriptive summary of events (sketch, resume)
3. the act of looking or seeing or observing (view, sight)

The context says "One survey says that ..." which implies a report or study that has collected data. This aligns best with sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection" which is synonymous with "study". Sense 2 is a summary of events, which could also fit but typically a "survey" that provides statistics is more like a study. Sense 3 is an act of observing, not a report. So sense 1 is most appropriate.

Thus, the JSON should be {"sense_index": 1}.
