Senses:
1. definition=of or relating to or characteristic of England or its culture or people | examples=English history
2. definition=of or relating to the English language

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "English" is used in the sentence. The sentence says: "Proper English bells are started off in 'rounds,' from the highest-pitched bell to the lowest..." Here, "English" modifies "bells", referring to bells that are characteristic of England or its culture. It's not about the English language. So sense 1 is correct. Return only the number.

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "bell" is used in the sentence. The sentence talks about "Proper English bells" being started off in "rounds" from highest-pitched to lowest, a descending scale using up to 12 bells. This clearly refers to actual physical bells that produce musical notes, used in change ringing. Sense 1 is a hollow metal device that makes a ringing sound. Sense 9 is a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells struck with a hammer, used orchestrally. But the context is about church bells and change ringing, which are actual bells (sense 1). Sense 9 might be about orchestral bells like glockenspiel, but here it's about "Proper English bells" in churches. So sense 1 is most appropriate. The answer should be 1.

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "round" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Proper English bells are started off in 'rounds', from the highest-pitched bell to the lowest -- a simple descending scale using, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells." This refers to a musical form where bells ring in sequence, each following the other. This matches sense 11: "a partsong in which voices follow each other; one voice starts and others join in one after another until all are singing different parts of the song at the same time" with examples "they enjoyed singing rounds". Here it's about bells, but the concept is similar: a round is a musical composition where each part enters successively. So answer is 11.

Which numbered sense of "high-pitched" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Proper English bells are started off in "rounds, "from the <t>highest-pitched</t> bell to the lowest -- a simple descending scale using, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells.

Senses:

reasoning_content: We need to understand the sentence: "Proper English bells ... from the highest-pitched bell to the lowest". Here "highest-pitched" refers to the bell that produces a high pitch sound, i.e., high frequency. So it's about sound, not angle. Thus sense 1 is correct. Return only the number: 1.

The sentence: "Proper English bells are started off in 'rounds,' from the highest-pitched bell to the lowest -- a simple descending scale using, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells."

Sense 9 is about a percussion instrument with tuned bells, but that's more like a glockenspiel or chimes, not church bells. Sense 3 is the sound, but here it's the physical object. So answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "simple" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Proper English bells are started off in "rounds, "from the highest-pitched bell to the lowest -- a <t>simple</t> descending scale using, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells.

Senses:
1. definition=having few parts; not complex or complicated or involved | examples=a simple problem
2. definition=easy and not involved or complicated | examples=an elementary problem in statistics
3. definition=apart from anything else; without additions or modifications | examples=only the bare facts
4. definition=exhibiting childlike simplicity and credulity | examples=childlike trust
5. definition=lacking mental capacity and subtlety
6. definition=(botany) of leaf shapes; of leaves having no divisions or subdivisions
7. definition=unornamented | examples=a simple country schoolhouse

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "simple" is used in the sentence: "Proper English bells are started off in 'rounds,' from the highest-pitched bell to the lowest -- a simple descending scale using, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells."

The word "simple" here describes a descending scale. The scale is just a straightforward, uncomplicated descending series of notes. It's not complex, not ornamented, not with additional modifications. It's just a plain descending scale. Looking at the senses:

1. having few parts; not complex or complicated. This fits: a simple descending scale is not complex.
2. easy and not involved: also fits somewhat, but more about ease? The scale is easy to understand, but the primary meaning is that it's just a basic scale.
3. apart from anything else; without additions or modifications: also fits, as it's just a plain descending scale without extra notes or ornaments.
4. childlike simplicity: not applicable.
5. lacking mental capacity: not.
6. botany: no.
7. unornamented: also fits, as it's plain.

Which one is most appropriate? The phrase "simple descending scale" emphasizes that it is just a basic descending sequence, not complicated. Sense 1 says "having few parts; not complex or complicated" which is exactly what a simple scale is. Sense 3 says "apart from anything else; without additions or modifications" – that also could work, but the primary idea is that it's not complex. The example for sense 1 is "a simple problem" which matches. Sense 2 is about being easy, but the sentence doesn't emphasize ease, just the nature of the scale. Sense 7 is about unornamented, but that's more about decoration. In music, "simple" scale often means just the basic diatonic scale without alterations. I'd lean towards sense 1.

But we need to pick the numbered sense. The instruction: "Return only the number of the correct sense." So answer should be just the number. I'll go with 1.

Which numbered sense of "scale" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Proper English bells are started off in "rounds, "from the highest-pitched bell to the lowest -- a simple descending <t>scale</t> using, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells.

2. definition=relative magnitude | examples=they entertained on a grand scale
3. definition=the ratio between the size of something and a representation of it | examples=the scale of the map

9. definition=a metal sheathing of uniform thickness (such as the shield attached to an artillery piece to protect the gunners)
10. definition=a flattened rigid plate forming part of the body covering of many animals

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "scale" is used in the sentence. The sentence describes "a simple descending scale using, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells." This is about music: a series of notes in descending order. Sense 6 is "(music) a series of notes differing in pitch according to a specific scheme (usually within an octave)". That matches. So answer is 6.

5. definition=avail oneself to | examples=apply a principle
6. definition=habitually do something (use only in the past tense) | examples=She used to call her mother every week but now she calls only occasionally

reasoning_content:
We need to identify which sense of "use" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Proper English bells are started off in 'rounds,' from the highest-pitched bell to the lowest -- a simple descending scale <t>using</t>, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells."

The word "using" here is part of the phrase "a simple descending scale using, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells." This means that the scale (the sequence of bells) employs or utilizes as many as 12 bells. It is not about consuming or habitually doing something. It's about putting them into service or employing them for a purpose. Sense 1: "put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose or for its inherent or natural purpose" matches. The examples include "use your head!" which is similar. Sense 2 is about consuming regularly, sense 3 is about using up, sense 4 is about using to one's advantage (like exploiting), sense 5 is "avail oneself to" (apply a principle), sense 6 is past tense habitual. None of these fit as well as sense 1. So answer is 1.

3. definition=a service conducted in a house of worship | examples=don't be late for church
4. definition=the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church | examples=our church is hosting a picnic next week

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "church" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Proper English bells are started off in 'rounds,' from the highest-pitched bell to the lowest -- a simple descending scale using, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells." Here, "churches" refers to buildings or institutions that have bells. The context is about larger churches having more bells. That aligns with the sense of a place for worship (building). Sense 2: "a place for public (especially Christian) worship" is correct. So answer 2.

9. definition=a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells that are struck with a hammer; used as an orchestral instrument
10. definition=the flared opening of a tubular device

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "bell" is used in the sentence. The sentence describes "Proper English bells" being started off in "rounds" from highest-pitched to lowest, a descending scale using as many as 12 bells. This clearly refers to actual bells that produce musical notes, i.e., a set of tuned bells. Sense 9: "a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells that are struck with a hammer; used as an orchestral instrument" matches well. However, note that the sentence says "bells" in a church context, often a peal of bells. Sense 1 is also plausible: a hollow device that makes a ringing sound. But sense 9 specifically mentions a set of tuned bells. The sentence mentions "a simple descending scale" which indicates musical tuning. Also "in larger churches, as many as 12 bells" refers to a set. So sense 9 is more specific. However, sense 1 is a general definition, but the context is about musical bells. The instruction says "Return only the number of the correct sense." We need to pick the best fit. Let's check: sense 1 is a general bell, sense 9 is a set of tuned bells. Since they are described as being used in a scale, they are tuned. Sense 9 is the most appropriate. Also note that "bells" can refer to a set of church bells, which are tuned. So answer is 9.

2. definition=in that case or as a consequence | examples=if he didn't take it, then who did?
3. definition=at that time | examples=I was young then

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "then" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order..." The word "Then" is used as an adverb indicating a sequence of events: after something (the signal) happens, then they begin. It's not about a specific time (like "at that time") nor a consequence (like "in that case"). It's more like "subsequently" or "soon afterward". So sense 1 fits. Return only the number: 1.

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "begin" is used in the sentence: "Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady rhythm of the striking." The verb "begin" is followed by a gerund ("varying"), indicating the start of an action. Sense 1: "take the first step or steps in carrying out an action" with example "We began working at dawn" matches this usage. Other senses are about temporal beginnings, speaking, etc. So answer is 1.

2. definition=be at variance with; be out of line with
3. definition=be subject to change in accordance with a variable | examples=Prices vary

reasoning_content:
We need to identify which sense of "vary" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady rhythm of the striking." Here, "varying" means changing the order, making it different. This is a transitive use: they vary the order. Looking at the senses:

1. become different (intransitive, like her mood changes)
2. be at variance with (intransitive)
3. be subject to change (intransitive, e.g., prices vary)
4. make something more diverse and varied (transitive, e.g., vary the menu)

The sentence uses "varying" as a transitive verb: they vary the order. That matches sense 4. So answer is 4.

reasoning_content: We need to identify which numbered sense of "order" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady rhythm of the striking." The context is about bells ringing in a sequence. The word "order" here refers to the sequence or arrangement of the bells sounding. That matches sense 4: "logical or comprehensible arrangement of separate elements" with example "we shall consider these questions in the inverse order of their presentation." Also sense 5: "a condition of regular or proper arrangement" might fit but sense 4 is more about arrangement of elements. The phrase "order in which the bells sound" is about the sequence. So I think sense 4 is correct. Return only the number: 4

reasoning_content: We need to match the sentence to the correct sense number. The sentence: "Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady rhythm of the striking." The word "bells" here refers to the actual physical objects that are rung, as part of a set (like church bells or handbells). Sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck" fits perfectly. Sense 9 is a percussion instrument consisting of tuned bells, but that is more specific to orchestral chimes. The sentence talks about ringers varying order, which is typical for change ringing of church bells. So sense 1 is the most general and appropriate. Return "1".

Which numbered sense of "sound" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells <t>sound</t> without altering the steady rhythm of the striking.

Senses:
1. definition=appear in a certain way | examples=This sounds interesting
2. definition=make a certain noise or sound | examples=She went `Mmmmm'
3. definition=give off a certain sound or sounds | examples=This record sounds scratchy
4. definition=announce by means of a sound | examples=sound the alarm
5. definition=utter with vibrating vocal chords
6. definition=cause to sound | examples=sound the bell
7. definition=measure the depth of (a body of water) with a sounding line

reasoning_content:
We need to determine the correct sense of "sound" in the sentence: "Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady rhythm of the striking." The verb "sound" here means the bells produce sound. Looking at the senses:
1. appear in a certain way (e.g., sounds interesting) - not applicable.
2. make a certain noise or sound (e.g., She went 'Mmmmm') - possible but specific to making a particular noise.
3. give off a certain sound or sounds (e.g., This record sounds scratchy) - this is about emitting a sound, but with a quality descriptor.
4. announce by means of a sound (e.g., sound the alarm) - transitive, to cause a sound as a signal.
5. utter with vibrating vocal chords - for speech.
6. cause to sound (e.g., sound the bell) - transitive, to make something produce sound.
7. measure depth - not applicable.

The sentence uses "the bells sound" intransitively, meaning the bells produce sound. Sense 3 "give off a certain sound or sounds" fits, but it usually has a descriptor like "scratchy". However, sense 2 "make a certain noise or sound" also fits. I need to check the definitions carefully. Sense 2 says "make a certain noise or sound" with example "She went 'Mmmmm'". That implies producing a specific noise. Sense 3 says "give off a certain sound or sounds" with example "This record sounds scratchy" - that implies emitting a sound with a characteristic. In the sentence, the bells sound without a descriptor; they simply produce sound. The most appropriate is sense 2 or 3? Also note sense 6 is transitive (cause to sound) but here it's intransitive. I think sense 2 is more general for making a noise, while sense 3 is about having a particular quality. The sentence doesn't describe a quality; it just says they sound. So sense 2 might be correct. But let's see the definitions from common dictionaries. Often "sound" as an intransitive verb meaning "to emit sound" is sense 2 or 3. I'll pick sense 2 because it's more directly about making a noise. Alternatively, sense 3 might be considered. I'll go with 2.

Which numbered sense of "alter" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without <t>altering</t> the steady rhythm of the striking.

Senses:
1. definition=cause to change; make different; cause a transformation | examples=The advent of the automobile may have altered the growth pattern of the city
2. definition=become different in some particular way, without permanently losing one's or its former characteristics or essence | examples=her mood changes in accordance with the weather
3. definition=make an alteration to | examples=This dress needs to be altered
4. definition=insert words into texts, often falsifying it thereby
5. definition=remove the ovaries of | examples=Is your cat spayed?

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "alter" is used in the sentence: "without altering the steady rhythm of the striking." The context: ringers vary the order of bells but do not change the steady rhythm. So "altering" here means changing or modifying the rhythm. Sense 1: "cause to change; make different; cause a transformation" fits. Sense 2 is about becoming different without losing essence, but that's more intransitive. Here it's transitive: without altering the rhythm. Sense 3 is about making an alteration to something like a dress, but that's specific. Sense 4 is about falsifying texts. Sense 5 is about spaying. So sense 1 is correct. Return only the number: 1.

Which numbered sense of "steady" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the <t>steady</t> rhythm of the striking.

Senses:
1. definition=not subject to change or variation especially in behavior | examples=a steady beat
2. definition=not liable to fluctuate or especially to fall | examples=stocks are still firm
3. definition=securely in position; not shaky | examples=held the ladder steady
4. definition=marked by firm determination or resolution; not shakable | examples=firm convictions
5. definition=relating to a person who does something regularly | examples=a regular customer
6. definition=not easily excited or upset | examples=steady nerves

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "steady" is used in the sentence: "Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady rhythm of the striking." The word "steady" modifies "rhythm". The rhythm is not changing, it's constant. Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior" with example "a steady beat". That matches. Sense 2 is about financial stability, sense 3 about physical stability, sense 4 about determination, sense 5 about regularity of a person, sense 6 about emotional stability. So sense 1 is correct. Return only the number.

Which numbered sense of "rhythm" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady <t>rhythm</t> of the striking.

1. definition=the basic rhythmic unit in a piece of music | examples=the piece has a fast rhythm
2. definition=recurring at regular intervals
3. definition=an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs | examples=the never-ending cycle of the seasons
4. definition=the arrangement of spoken words alternating stressed and unstressed elements | examples=the rhythm of Frost's poetry
5. definition=natural family planning in which ovulation is assumed to occur 14 days before the onset of a period (the fertile period would be assumed to extend from day 10 through day 18 of her cycle)

We need to determine which sense of "rhythm" is used in the sentence: "Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady <t>rhythm</t> of the striking."

The key phrase: "steady rhythm of the striking" refers to the regular, recurring pattern of the bells striking. The context is about bells ringing in a pattern, and they vary the order but keep the rhythm steady. That implies a regular interval or beat.

Sense 2: "recurring at regular intervals" fits well. Sense 1 is about the basic rhythmic unit in music, but here it's about the steady pattern, not necessarily a musical piece's unit. Sense 3 mentions intervals and recurring sequence, but it's defined as "an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs" with example of seasons. That's similar but more about cycles. Sense 4 is about poetry. Sense 5 is about fertility. So the best match is sense 2.

Thus answer: 2

Which numbered sense of "striking" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady rhythm of the <t>striking</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=the physical coming together of two or more things | examples=contact with the pier scraped paint from the hull
2. definition=the act of contacting one thing with another | examples=repeated hitting raised a large bruise

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "striking" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady rhythm of the striking." Here "striking" refers to the action of the bells being struck, i.e., the act of hitting. Sense 2 is "the act of contacting one thing with another" with example "repeated hitting raised a large bruise". Sense 1 is "the physical coming together of two or more things" with example "contact with the pier scraped paint from the hull". The context is about bells ringing, so it's the act of striking the bells. That matches sense 2. So answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "variation" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Each <t>variation</t>, or change, can occur only once, the rules state.

Senses:
1. definition=an instance of change; the rate or magnitude of change
2. definition=an activity that varies from a norm or standard | examples=any variation in his routine was immediately reported
3. definition=a repetition of a musical theme in which it is modified or embellished
4. definition=something a little different from others of the same type | examples=an experimental version of the night fighter
5. definition=an artifact that deviates from a norm or standard | examples=he patented a variation on the sandal

10. definition=(ballet) a solo dance or dance figure
11. definition=the act of changing or altering something slightly but noticeably from the norm or standard | examples=who is responsible for these variations in taxation?

reasoning_content: We need to match the usage in the sentence: "Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the rules state." The phrase "or change" indicates that variation here is synonymous with change. Looking at the senses, sense 1: "an instance of change; the rate or magnitude of change" fits. Also sense 7: "the process of varying or being varied" might fit, but the word "instance" in sense 1 aligns with "each variation" meaning each individual change. The sentence talks about each variation (change) occurring only once, so it's an instance. Sense 1 is the best match. Return 1.

Which numbered sense of "occur" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Each variation, or change, can <t>occur</t> only once, the rules state.

2. definition=come to one's mind; suggest itself | examples=It occurred to me that we should hire another secretary
3. definition=to be found to exist | examples=sexism occurs in many workplaces

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "occur" is used in the sentence: "Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the rules state." The senses: 1. come to pass (happen); 2. come to mind; 3. to be found to exist. The sentence talks about a variation or change happening only once, so it's about an event taking place. That matches sense 1. Answer: 1.

Which numbered sense of "only" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Each variation, or change, can occur <t>only</t> once, the rules state.

6. definition=never except when | examples=call me only if your cold gets worse
7. definition=as recently as | examples=I spoke to him only an hour ago

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "only" is used in the sentence: "Each variation, or change, can occur <t>only</t> once, the rules state." The phrase "only once" means "not more than once" or "exactly once". This aligns with sense 2: "without any others being included or involved" (i.e., no more than once). Alternatively, sense 1 "and nothing more" could also fit, but sense 2 is more precise: "without any others being included or involved" – here "once" is the only occurrence, no other times. Sense 2's example "was entirely to blame" shows exclusivity. So answer is 2.

Which numbered sense of "rule" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the <t>rules</t> state.

Senses:
1. definition=a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | examples=it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast
2. definition=something regarded as a normative example | examples=the convention of not naming the main character
3. definition=prescribed guide for conduct or action
4. definition=(linguistics) a rule describing (or prescribing) a linguistic practice
5. definition=a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct | examples=their principles of composition characterized all their works
6. definition=the duration of a monarch's or government's power | examples=during the rule of Elizabeth
7. definition=dominance or power through legal authority | examples=France held undisputed dominion over vast areas of Africa
8. definition=directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted | examples=he knew the rules of chess

12. definition=measuring stick consisting of a strip of wood or metal or plastic with a straight edge that is used for drawing straight lines and measuring lengths

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "rule" is used in the sentence: "Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the rules state." The context implies that there are prescribed guidelines or regulations that state a condition. It sounds like a rule of a game or a system. The closest sense is likely 3: "prescribed guide for conduct or action" or 8: "directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted". But the sentence doesn't specifically mention a game; it says "variation, or change" which could be in a game or a process. However, the phrasing "the rules state" is generic. Sense 1 is about a principle that customarily governs behavior, but "rule" in that sense is often a personal habit. Sense 3 is more formal. Given the options, sense 8 is specific to games, but the sentence doesn't indicate a game. Sense 3 is broader. Let's see the exact wording: "prescribed guide for conduct or action". That fits. Also sense 1: "a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior" – but the example is personal habit. The sentence says "the rules state" implying an external set of rules, not a personal habit. So likely sense 3. Alternatively, sense 5: "a basic generalization that is accepted as true" – that's more like a scientific principle. Not fitting. So I'll go with 3.

The word "state" here means that the rules express or declare something. Sense 1 is "express in words". Sense 2 is "put before" (like submit). Sense 3 is "indicate through a symbol, formula, etc." The sentence says "the rules state" meaning the rules express that each variation can occur only once. That fits sense 1. So answer is 1

This matches sense 1: "similar things placed in order or happening one after another" with example "they were investigating a series of bank robberies". The series here is a sequence of changes. The other senses don't fit: not TV, periodical, sports, electronics, stamps, or mathematics (though it involves sequences, but the definition is specifically about sum of expressions, not just a sequence). So answer is 1.

4. definition=the general atmosphere of a place or situation and the effect that it has on people | examples=the feel of the city excited him

[Assistant] We need to determine which sense of "look" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "A <t>look</t> at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church ... gives an idea of the work involved." The word "look" here is used as a noun, referring to an act of observing or viewing. The phrase "a look at" means to examine or observe something. That matches sense 2: "the act of directing the eyes toward something and perceiving it visually" with example "he went out to have a look". So answer is 2.2

[User] Your previous answer was invalid. Choose one candidate index between 1 and 4. Return only the integer.

reasoning_content: We need to re-evaluate. The sentence: "A look at a Thursday night practice ... gives an idea of the work involved." The word "look" here is a noun meaning an act of looking. Sense 2 is exactly that: "the act of directing the eyes toward something and perceiving it visually." So answer is 2. The previous answer was marked invalid? Perhaps there's a nuance: The sentence says "A look at" meaning "an examination" or "a glance." That is sense 2. I'll answer 2.

We need to determine which sense of "night" is used in the sentence: "A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London gives an idea of the work involved." The phrase "Thursday night" indicates a specific time of day, referring to the evening or night of Thursday. The practice occurs at night. Among the senses, sense 1 is "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside". Sense 7 is "the time between sunset and midnight" (with example "he watched television every night"). The sentence mentions a practice, likely in the evening, so it's about a specific time period. Sense 1 is broad, sense 7 is more specific. But the sentence doesn't specify whether it's after midnight or before; typically "night" in common usage can refer to the evening hours. However, the context "Thursday night" is a common way to refer to the evening or night of Thursday. The correct sense is likely 1 or 7. Check sense 1: "the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside" - that includes both evening and late night. Sense 7: "the time between sunset and midnight" - which is a narrower range. Usually "night" in phrases like "Thursday night" refers to the evening/nighttime period, commonly meaning after sunset until late. But since the practice likely occurs in the evening, sense 7 might fit. However, sense 1 is more general. The question asks for the numbered sense. We need to pick one. Let's see the definitions more carefully: sense 1 is standard, sense 7 is a specific sub-sense meaning the early part of night. In many dictionaries, "night" is often defined as the period from sunset to sunrise. But the example for sense 7 is "he watched television every night" which is similar to "Thursday night". So both could apply. But looking at the list, sense 1 is the most basic. However, note that sense 6 is "a shortening of nightfall" with example "they worked from morning to night", which is different. The sentence doesn't indicate a shortening. So likely sense 1 or 7. I think sense 1 is the most direct: the time after sunset. But since the sentence uses a specific day (Thursday), it's a time unit, but sense 4 is "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit" with example "three nights later he collapsed". That also fits: "Thursday night" is a time unit. Actually sense 4: "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit". That seems like a good fit because "Thursday night" is a specific night as a time unit. For instance, "on Thursday night" refers to that particular night. Sense 4 example: "three nights later" uses "nights" as units. So "Thursday night" is a unit of time. So sense 4 is plausible. But careful: sense 4 says "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit". That is exactly what "Thursday night" refers to: a specific night (the dark part) as a unit. Sense 7 is "the time between sunset and midnight" which is also a time period but not necessarily a unit. The phrase "Thursday night" usually encompasses the entire nighttime period of that day, including after midnight sometimes? Typically "Thursday night" means the night of Thursday, which is from Thursday evening to Friday morning? Actually in common usage, "Thursday night" usually refers to the evening and night of Thursday, i.e., from sunset on Thursday until midnight or early Friday. But it's ambiguous. However, sense 4 seems to specifically describe a night as a unit (like "three nights later"), which matches "Thursday night" as a specific night. Let's see the exact wording: "A look at a Thursday night practice..." So "Thursday night" is used as an adjective describing the practice. It indicates the practice occurs on that night. So the sense is about the time period. I think sense 1 is too broad, sense 4 is more precise as a time unit. Sense 7 might be too narrow. Also, sense 6 is "nightfall" which is different. So likely sense 4. But let's double-check: The sentence: "A look at a Thursday night practice..." means a practice that happens on Thursday night. That night is a specific time. So the word "night" refers to that particular night as a time period. Among the definitions, sense 4: "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit" fits well. Sense 1: "the time after sunset... while it is dark outside" is a general definition, but it's also correct. However, the question is to pick the numbered sense that is used. Since the sentence uses "night" in a specific temporal context, I'd go with sense 4. But many might choose sense 1. Let's see the examples: sense 1 has no example? Actually senses are given with definitions and examples only for some. Sense 1 has no example. Sense 4 has example "three nights later he collapsed". That example uses "nights" as units. Similarly, "Thursday night" is a unit. So I think sense 4 is the most appropriate.

Alternatively, sense 7: "the time between sunset and midnight" with example "he watched television every night". That example uses "every night" meaning each evening, but "Thursday night" could be interpreted as that period. However, a practice might occur after midnight? Unlikely. But it's ambiguous. I think sense 4 is more general and includes both early and late night. The definition explicitly says "considered a time unit". So I'll go with sense 4.

But let's read the sentence again: "A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church..." It's describing a practice that occurs on a Thursday evening. That is a specific night. So sense 4.

Thus answer: 4.

reasoning_content: We need to identify which sense of "practice" is used in the sentence. The sentence: "A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London gives an idea of the work involved." The context suggests a regular event, like a rehearsal or a meeting. It's a customary activity. Sense 1: "a customary way of operation or behavior" fits. Sense 2 is about training repetitions, but it's not specifically "practice makes perfect" here; it's a regular event. Sense 3 is about putting theory into action, not relevant. Sense 4 is profession, not relevant. Sense 5 is knowledge of how something is usually done, but the sentence is about an actual event. So sense 1 seems most appropriate. Answer: 1

The phrase "St. Mary Abbot church" refers to a specific building, a place of worship. So it's a physical location. Sense 2 is "a place for public (especially Christian) worship". That matches. Sense 1 is a group of Christians, sense 3 is a service, sense 4 is the body of people. So answer is 2.

43. definition=consent to engage in sexual intercourse with a man | examples=She gave herself to many men

reasoning_content: We need to match the sentence: "A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London gives an idea of the work involved." The verb "gives" here means to provide or convey an idea. Looking at the senses, sense 4: "convey or reveal information" with example "Give one's name" seems appropriate. Also sense 7: "convey or communicate; of a smile, a look, a physical gesture" with example "Throw a glance" might be close because it's a look giving an idea. But the sentence says "A look ... gives an idea" - the look itself conveys information. Sense 4 is about conveying information, sense 7 is about conveying a look/gesture. However, the object is "an idea", which is information. So sense 4 fits better. Also sense 2: "be the cause or source of" could be argued, but it's more about causing trouble. Sense 1: "cause to have" abstract sense. But the most precise is sense 4. Let's check the list: sense 4 definition: "convey or reveal information" - yes. So answer is 4.

4. definition=an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth | examples=an estimate of what it would cost
5. definition=(music) melodic subject of a musical composition | examples=the theme is announced in the first measures

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "idea" is used in the sentence: "A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London gives an idea of the work involved." The phrase "gives an idea of" typically means provides a sense or understanding of something, often an approximate notion or estimation. This aligns with sense 4: "an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth" with example "an estimate of what it would cost". But note that the example is about cost, but the definition is broader. The sentence is about giving an idea of the work involved, meaning an approximate understanding or impression. Sense 1 is about the content of cognition or the main thing you are thinking about, such as "it was not a good idea" which is more about a concept or plan. Sense 2 is intention, sense 3 is personal view, sense 5 is music. So the correct sense is 4.

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "involved" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London gives an idea of the work involved." The word "involved" here modifies "work" meaning the work that is part of or required for the practice. It's about the work that is connected to or associated with the practice. That matches sense 1: "connected by participation or association or use". The other senses don't fit: sense 2 is about being entangled or hindered, sense 3 is emotional, sense 4 is complex/intricate, sense 5 is enveloped. So answer is 1.

The sentence describes: "Ten shirt-sleeved ringers stand in a circle, one foot ahead of the other in a prize-fighter's stance, each pulling a rope that disappears through a small hole in the high ceiling of the ringing chamber." The context: they are pulling ropes, in a ringing chamber. This suggests they are people who ring bells, likely church bells or similar. So sense 1: a person who rings church bells. The other senses don't fit: not identical persons, not a contestant under false pretenses, not a horseshoe throw. So answer is 1.

Sense 3 is "occupy a place or location" also fits but more abstract. The context shows they are physically standing. Sense 1 is the most direct. The sentence says "stand in a circle" - they are standing upright in that formation. So answer is 1.

Sentence: Ten shirt-sleeved ringers stand in a circle, one foot <t>ahead</t> of the other in a prize-fighter's stance, each pulling a rope that disappears through a small hole in the high ceiling of the ringing chamber.

Senses:
1. definition=at or in the front | examples=I see the lights of a town ahead
2. definition=toward the future; forward in time | examples=I like to look ahead in imagination to what the future may bring
3. definition=in a forward direction | examples=go ahead

7. definition=leading or ahead in a competition | examples=the horse was three lengths ahead going into the home stretch

reasoning_content: We need to determine which numbered sense of "ahead" is used in the given sentence. The sentence: "Ten shirt-sleeved ringers stand in a circle, one foot ahead of the other in a prize-fighter's stance..." Here "ahead" means one foot is positioned in front of the other. That is a spatial forward direction. Sense 1: "at or in the front" - example "I see the lights of a town ahead" fits spatial front. Sense 3: "in a forward direction" - example "go ahead" also directional. But sense 1 is more about being at the front, while sense 3 is about direction of movement. Here "one foot ahead of the other" means one foot is placed in front of the other, so it's a positional front. That aligns with sense 1. Also sense 1 explicitly has "at or in the front". So answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "stance" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: Ten shirt-sleeved ringers stand in a circle, one foot ahead of the other in a prize-fighter's <t>stance</t>, each pulling a rope that disappears through a small hole in the high ceiling of the ringing chamber.

Senses:
1. definition=standing posture
2. definition=a rationalized mental attitude

reasoning_content: We need to determine which sense of "stance" is used in the sentence. The sentence describes physical posture: "one foot ahead of the other in a prize-fighter's stance". That clearly refers to a standing posture, not a mental attitude. So sense 1.
