Target lemma: lucky
Target surface form: lucky
Context:
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 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 <t>lucky</t> 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.

reasoning_content:
We are given a context: "Right now, we're <t>lucky</t> if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10." The speaker is saying that it is fortunate or a matter of luck that they keep even one new ringer out of ten. This is not necessarily about good fortune in a general sense, but rather about a chance occurrence or a low probability event. The phrase "lucky if" often indicates that something is hopeful but unlikely. The example for sense 1 is "a lucky escape" which is about chance. The example for sense 2 is "my lucky day" which is about good fortune. The example for sense 3 is "lucky stars" which is about being lucky in a superstitious sense. The context here is about the difficulty of retaining ringers; they are fortunate if they keep one out of ten. This seems like a matter of chance, not necessarily bringing good fortune overall. The phrase "lucky if" is often used to express that something is unlikely but happens by chance. I lean towards sense 1.

Let's analyze: Sense 1: "occurring by chance" - fits well because it's about the outcome being unlikely. Sense 2: "having or bringing good fortune" - that would be more like "I am lucky" meaning I am fortunate, but here it's "we're lucky if" meaning it's a chance event. Sense 3: "presaging or likely to bring good luck" - that is more about omens.

Thus, sense 1 seems best.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "years" in the context: "after five years". The phrase "five years" refers to a duration of time. Sense 1 is "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days" which matches. Sense 2 is for a regular part of a calendar year used for an activity (like school year) - not applicable. Sense 3 is for planetary revolution - not applicable. Sense 4 is for a body of students - not applicable. So sense 1 is correct.

reasoning_content: We need to choose the best sense for "new" in the context: "we keep one new ringer out of 10". The word "new" modifies "ringer", meaning a person who rings bells. The context discusses training and attracting ringers, and the difficulty of retaining them. The phrase "new ringer" refers to someone who has recently been trained or is newly recruited. Among the senses, sense 3: "lacking training or experience" with synonyms "raw" and example "the new men were eager to fight; raw recruits" fits well. Sense 1 is about not of long duration, but that is more general. Sense 3 specifically addresses inexperience, which is appropriate for a new recruit. Sense 5 "other than the former one(s)" doesn't fit. Sense 11 "unfamiliar" could also work but sense 3 is more precise for a trainee. So sense index 3.

reasoning_content:
We are given a target word "ringer" in context. The context discusses church bell ringers, training, and the decline in number of ringers. It mentions "trained bellringers", "ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung", "the council's program to attract and train ringers", etc. Clearly, the meaning is a person who rings church bells. That corresponds to sense 1: "a person who rings church bells (as for summoning the congregation)". The synonyms include "toller, bell ringer". So sense index 1 is correct.

The other senses are about a look-alike (dead ringer), a contestant under false pretenses, or a horseshoe throw. None of these fit the context.

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

The phrase "bright sign" indicates a positive, hopeful indication. Among the senses, sense 10 is "full of promise" with synonyms hopeful, promising. That directly matches. Sense 6 is "splendid" but that is more like glorious, not exactly promising. Sense 9 is "characterized by happiness or gladness" which could apply to a sign, but "bright sign" is idiomatic for a promising sign. So sense 10 is best.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to choose the best sense for "sign" in the context: "One bright <t>sign</t> 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 word "sign" here refers to an indication or evidence of something positive. The phrase "one bright sign" means a positive indication. Among the candidate senses, sense 1: "a perceptible indication of something not immediately apparent (as a visible clue that something has happened)" fits well. Synonyms: mark. Examples include "he showed signs of strain; they welcomed the signs of spring." This matches the context: the increasing number of women is a sign (indication) of improvement or change.

Other senses: sense 2 (a public display of a message), sense 3 (any nonverbal action or gesture that encodes a message), sense 4 (structure displaying a board), sense 5 (astrology), sense 6 (medical evidence), sense 7 (polarity), sense 8 (an event indicating important things to come - could also fit, but sense 1 is more general and precise here), sense 9 (sign language gesture), sense 10 (linguistic unit), sense 11 (mathematical sign). Sense 8 might also be plausible as an event indicating important things to come, but the context is more about a current positive indication, not necessarily a future event. The phrase "bright sign" suggests a positive indicator, and sense 1 directly covers that. So sense 1 is best.

Context:
Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers. 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 <t>sign</t> 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.

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 11. Return only valid JSON exactly like {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: We need to pick the best sense for "sign" in the context: "One bright <t>sign</t> is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field". This is a positive indication, a clue that something good is happening. Sense 1: "a perceptible indication of something not immediately apparent" fits perfectly. Sense 6 is medical, sense 8 is augury/omen, but sense 1 is more general. The example "he showed signs of strain" matches. So sense index 1.

reasoning_content: We are asked to choose the best sense for "women" in the given context. The context discusses bellringers, and mentions that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field. The 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." This is about adult female persons in general, not specifically about a wife/girlfriend, not about a cleaning woman, and not about women as a class in an abstract sense. It is simply referring to adult female individuals. Thus sense 1 (adult female person) fits best. Sense 4 is about women as a class, but the context is about individual women entering the field, not about the abstract concept. So sense 1 is most appropriate.

reasoning_content: We are given the target lemma "enter" with surface form "entered" in the context: "a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field". The field is bellringing. This means women are becoming participants in that field. The best sense is likely sense 2: "become a participant; be involved in" with synonyms "participate". Sense 3 is about registering formally, but the context doesn't mention formal registration, just joining the field. Sense 1 is about going into a place physically, but here it's metaphorical. Sense 9 is about setting out on an enterprise, but "enter a field" is a common phrase for becoming a participant. Sense 2 fits best.

reasoning_content: We are given the target word "once" in the context: "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field". The context indicates that the field was previously male-dominated, but now women are entering. This aligns with sense 3: "at a previous time" (formerly). Sense 1 means "on one occasion", which doesn't fit. Sense 2 means "as soon as", which is a conjunction, but here "once" is used as an adverb modifying "male-dominated". Therefore, the correct sense is index 3

reasoning_content:
We are given a context about bellringers and the field of bellringing. The target word "field" appears in: "a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field". Here, "field" refers to a particular area of activity or profession, i.e., bellringing as a discipline or line of work. Looking at the candidate senses:

- Sense 4: "a branch of knowledge" (discipline, subject) – this could fit but bellringing is more of a practice than an academic discipline.
- Sense 6: "a particular kind of commercial enterprise" (field of operation, line of business) – bellringing is not typically commercial.
- Sense 7: "a particular environment or walk of life" (sphere, domain, area, orbit, arena) – this fits well: "walk of life" or "domain". The example "his social sphere is limited" or "a closed area of employment" aligns with "once male-dominated field".

The context says "entered the once male-dominated field", meaning bellringing as an area of activity or profession. Sense 7 seems most appropriate. Sense 4 is more academic; sense 6 is commercial. So sense index 7.

Thus, answer: {"sense_index": 7}

That fits perfectly. Sense 3 is "following the second position in an ordering or series" which would be used for ordinal positions like "third place" but not for a fraction. The context clearly indicates a proportion: "more than a third" meaning more than 1/3. So sense index 1 is correct.

The context clearly talks about bellringers, people who ring church bells. The synonyms for sense 1 are "toller, bell ringer". Sense 2 is about a person who is almost identical to another (dead ringer). Sense 3 is a contestant under false pretenses. Sense 4 is about horseshoes. So the correct sense is sense 1. The target surface form is "ringers" and it's plural, referring to multiple bellringers. So index 1.{"sense_index": 1}

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 <t>women</t>. They are not accepted everywhere, however.

raw_output:
We are given: "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 <t>women</t>."

The context: talking about bellringers, a male-dominated field. The sentence says "a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field" and "more than a third of the ringers today are women." This is about women as a group, not about a specific adult female, not about a wife or girlfriend, not about a houseworker. So it's about the class of women. That matches sense 4: "women as a class" with synonyms "womanhood, fair sex".

Sense 1: "an adult female person" - that would be too specific, referring to an individual.
Sense 2: "a female person who plays a significant role (wife or mistress or girlfriend)" - not relevant.
Sense 3: "a human female employed to do housework" - not relevant.
Sense 4: "women as a class" - fits: "a growing number of women" and "more than a third of the ringers today are women" refers to the collective group.

Thus, best sense is sense 4.{"sense_index": 4}

reasoning_content: We need to determine the correct sense of "accepted" in the given context. The sentence: "They are not accepted everywhere, however." Referring to women in bell-ringing. The context indicates that women are not admitted or allowed into certain groups (the Ancient Society of College Youths remains male-only). So "accepted" here means admitted into a group or community. That matches sense 5: "admit into a group or community" with synonyms admit, take, take on. The example "accept students for graduate study" fits the idea of admitting members. Other senses like "consider or hold as true" (1), "receive willingly" (2), "give affirmative reply" (3), "react favorably" (4) do not fit as well. Sense 7 "tolerate" might be close but not exactly; it's more about being admitted. Sense 5 is the best.

reasoning_content:
We are given the target lemma "however" in context. The context is: "They are not accepted 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..."

The word "however" here is used to introduce a contrast or concession. It follows a statement that women are a growing number and more than a third of ringers today are women, but then it says they are not accepted everywhere, and specifically the oldest group remains male-only. This is a contrastive use.

Now examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=however%4:02:00:: | definition=despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession) | synonyms=nevertheless, withal, still, yet, all the same, even so | examples=although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it; while we disliked each other, nevertheless we agreed

2. sense_key=however%4:02:04:: | definition=by contrast; on the other hand | examples=the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours

3. sense_key=however%4:02:02:: | definition=to whatever degree or extent | examples=The results, however general, are important; they have begun, however reluctantly, to acknowledge the legitimacy of some of the opposition's concerns

4. sense_key=however%4:02:01:: | definition=in whatever way or manner | examples=Victory, however it was brought about, was sweet; however he did it, it was very clever

Sense 1 and 2 both involve contrast. Sense 1 is "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)" and sense 2 is "by contrast; on the other hand". How to distinguish? The example for sense 1 includes "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" which shows a concession followed by a contrast. In our context, the preceding sentence says "more than a third of the ringers today are women. They are not accepted everywhere, however." This is similar to a concession: women are a growing number, but they are not accepted everywhere. The "however" introduces a contrasting point. The phrase "however" often appears after a comma, and it can be synonymous with "nevertheless" or "yet". In this context, it seems like "despite that fact, they are not accepted everywhere". That fits sense 1.

Sense 2 is "by contrast; on the other hand". That would be used to directly compare two different situations. For example, "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours." In our context, it's not a direct comparison between two items; it's a concession that women are now more than a third, but contrastively, they are not accepted everywhere. This is slightly different.

Sense 3 and 4 are about degree or manner, which do not fit here.

Thus, the best sense is sense 1. However, note that the sense key "however%4:02:00::" is index 1? In the candidate senses list, they are numbered 1,2,3,4. So sense 1 corresponds to that. We need to output the sense index, which is 1.

But we must be careful: WordNet indexes are often given as numbers like 1,2,3,4. So answer: {"sense_index": 1}.

Double-check: The example for sense 1 includes "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" which is a concession followed by a contrasting desire. Our context: "more than a third of the ringers today are women. They are not accepted everywhere, however." That is a similar pattern: concede that many women are ringers, but contrast that with not being accepted everywhere. So sense 1 is appropriate.

Thus, final answer.

Sense 3: "playing a set of bells that are (usually) hung in a tower" fits perfectly. Sense 1 is about the sound, not the activity. Sense 2 is about political canvassing, irrelevant. So sense_index 3.

reasoning_content:
We need to select the best sense for "country" in the given context. The context is about bell-ringing groups, specifically "The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637..." This refers to a group that is the oldest in the country. The phrase "in the country" likely means the nation as a whole, i.e., the entire political entity (United Kingdom). So sense 1 (a politically organized body of people under a single government) or sense 2 (the territory occupied by a nation) are relevant. However, note that it says "the oldest bell-ringing group in the country" - this implies the entire nation, not just a rural area. So sense 4 (rural area) is not correct. Sense 5 (geographical region) might be too vague. Sense 3 is "the people who live in a nation or country" - that could also work, but the phrase "in the country" likely refers to the location, not the people. But let's see examples: sense 2 example: "he visited several European countries" - that's about territory. And sense 1: "the state has elected a new president" - state. The context is about a group that is the oldest in the country, meaning within the entire nation. So sense 1 or 2 are both plausible. But sense 1 is "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - that is the country as a political entity. Sense 2 is "the territory occupied by a nation" - that is the land. In the sentence, "the country" refers to where the group exists, likely the territory/nation. But "country" often can be both. We need to pick one. The word "country" here is used in a locative sense: "the oldest bell-ringing group in the country" - meaning within the borders of that nation. So sense 2 (territory) seems appropriate. However, sense 1 also works because the group is part of that political entity. But let's check the context: later it says "the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches" - so "country" here is essentially "Britain" as a nation. So I think sense 1 or 2. But we have to choose one. The example for sense 2: "he visited several European countries" - that's similar. The example for sense 1: "African nations" - also similar. In the context, it's "the country" meaning the entire nation. I'd lean toward sense 1 because it's the organized body, but sense 2 is also fine. However, note that sense 1 includes "commonwealth, res publica" etc., which are more political. Sense 2 is "territory". The phrase "in the country" typically means within the territory. But often "country" is used interchangeably. Since the text is about a group that is the oldest in the country, and it's referring to the United Kingdom as a whole, I think sense 1 is slightly more appropriate because it's about the political entity. But let's see if there is any clue: "the oldest bell-ringing group in the country" - that group is an organization within the country. So it's the location, but also the nation as a whole. I think both are acceptable, but we need to pick one index. WordNet sense 1 is "country%1:14:00::" and sense 2 is "country%1:15:00::". Sense 2 is "territory occupied by a nation". Sense 1 is "a politically organized body...". In common usage, "country" can mean both. The context: "the country" is likely used as a geographical/ political entity. I'll go with sense 1 because it emphasizes the government and organization, but the text does not talk about government. It talks about a group and churches. Actually, it mentions "Britain" later. So "country" here is Britain, which is a nation. So sense 1 or 2. Let's see if there is a sense that is "the people" - sense 3. "The people who live in a nation" - that would be "the country" as in "the whole country" meaning the population. But the phrase "in the country" is locative, not referring to people. So sense 3 is less likely. So between 1 and 2, I think sense 2 (territory) is more straightforward for "in the country". But sense 1 also works. I'll check the examples: sense 1 examples: "the state has elected a new president; African nations" - "African nations" is like countries. Sense 2: "he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries" - that's also countries. So both are fine. I think the key difference is that sense 1 is about the political entity, sense 2 is about the land. In the sentence, "the oldest bell-ringing group in the country" - it's a group that exists within that land. I'd pick sense 2. But let's see the context: "This being Britain, no woman has filed..." So "Britain" is the country. So "country" is synonymous with "Britain" as a nation. So either sense. Since the text refers to the ancient society being in the country, it's about the location/nation. I'll go with sense 2 because it's about territory. However, note that sense 2's definition: "the territory occupied by a nation" - that fits. Sense 1 is "a politically organized body". In this context, the group is not political. So I think sense 2 is more appropriate. So I'll choose sense 2.

But wait, there is also sense 5: "a particular geographical region" - that could be too broad. No, "country" usually means nation. So sense 2 is best.

Thus, sense_index: 2.

reasoning_content: We are given the target lemma "found" with surface form "founded" in the context: "The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, <t>founded</t> in 1637, remains male-only". The word "founded" here means "established" or "set up". The relevant senses are 1 and 2. Sense 1: "set up or found" with synonyms establish, set up, launch. Sense 2: "set up or lay the groundwork for" with synonyms establish, plant, constitute, institute. Both are very close. But sense 1 has example "She set up a literacy program" and sense 2 has "establish a new department". The context mentions a group founded in a specific year, which is a typical use of "found" meaning to establish an organization. Sense 1 seems more direct: "set up or found". Sense 2 is more about laying groundwork, which might also apply. However, note that sense 1 explicitly includes "found" in its own definition. The sense key for sense 1 is found%2:41:00:: and for sense 2 is found%2:36:00::. Given the context, the most appropriate is sense 1. Also, the other senses (3-19) are about other meanings like "find" or "discover" which do not fit because "founded" is past tense of "found" meaning to establish. So the answer should be sense_index 1.

Target lemma: remain
Target surface form: remains
Context:
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 accepted everywhere, however. The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, <t>remains</t> 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. This being Britain, no woman has filed an equal-opportunity suit, but the extent of the problem surfaced this summer in a series of letters to "The Ringing World, "a weekly newspaper for ringers.

We are given the target lemma "remain" in the surface form "remains" in the context: "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."

We need to choose the best sense from the four candidate senses.

Sense 1: "stay the same; remain in a certain state" (synonyms: stay, rest) with example: "The dress remained wet after repeated attempts to dry it; rest assured". This sense is about continuing to be in a particular state or condition.

Sense 2: "continue in a place, position, or situation" (synonyms: stay, stay on, continue) with example: "After graduation, she stayed on in Cambridge as a student adviser; Stay with me, please". This sense is about continuing in a location or role.

Sense 3: "be left; of persons, questions, problems, results, evidence, etc." with example: "There remains the question of who pulled the trigger; Carter remains the only President in recent history under whose Presidency the U.S. did not fight a war". This sense is about something that is still existing or is left over.

Sense 4: "stay behind" (synonyms: persist, stay) with example: "The smell stayed in the room; The hostility remained long after they made up". This sense is about something that continues to exist or persists after others have gone.

In the context, "remains male-only" means that the group continues to be male-only; it still is male-only. This fits best with sense 1: "stay the same; remain in a certain state". The group is in the state of being male-only and continues to be so. Sense 2 might also work ("continue in a place, position, or situation") but it emphasizes continuing in a place or position, which is not exactly the case; it's continuing in a state. Sense 3 is about being left (like remaining questions or evidence) – not exactly the same. Sense 4 is about staying behind, which could apply if it means persisting, but sense 1 is more direct.

Thus, I select sense 1.
