We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'make' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, <t>making</t> a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says.

We need to identify the sense of "making" in "making a very obvious exit".

"Make an exit" is an idiomatic phrase meaning to leave, especially in a noticeable way. "Make" here is used in a light verb construction (like "make a decision", "make an exit", "make a mistake"). The sense is "perform or carry out": make an exit = perform the action of exiting.

Looking at the senses:

16. definition=perform or carry out | examples=make a decision

"Make an exit" is very similar to "make a decision", "make a move", etc. It's a delexical verb usage. So sense 16 fits perfectly.

Let's double-check: "make an exit" could also be interpreted as "create an exit", but in context "making a very obvious exit" means they are exiting in an obvious manner. "Make an exit" is a fixed phrase meaning to leave. The sense is definitely "perform or carry out". So number 16.

In the sentence, "very obvious exit" – "very" is used as an intensifier modifying "obvious". That matches sense 1. Sense 2 is for "precisely so" like "the very next page". So answer is 1.

2. definition=an assemblage of people or animals or things collected together | examples=a congregation of children pleaded for his autograph
3. definition=the act of congregating

We need to identify which sense is used in the given sentence. The sentence mentions "while the congregation is at prayer". The word "congregation" here refers to a group of people who are praying together in a religious context. Sense 1 specifically mentions "a group of people who adhere to a common faith and habitually attend a given church". The context of being "at prayer" strongly suggests a religious gathering. Sense 2 is a more general assemblage, but here it's specifically a religious assembly. Sense 3 is the act of congregating, which doesn't fit as well (the act of congregating is at prayer doesn't make sense). So the correct sense is 1.

Thus the answer is 1.

Sentence: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at <t>prayer</t>, 'he says."

2. definition=reverent petition to a deity
3. definition=earnest or urgent request | examples=an entreaty to stop the fighting
4. definition=a fixed text used in praying
5. definition=someone who prays to God

We need to interpret the phrase "the congregation is at prayer". This is a common phrase meaning the congregation is engaged in the act of praying. The word "prayer" here is a noun, and "at prayer" is an idiomatic prepositional phrase meaning "engaged in praying". The sense closest to that is sense 1: "the act of communicating with a deity". Sense 2 is "reverent petition to a deity" which might refer to a specific prayer, but "at prayer" describes the activity. Sense 3 is a secular request, not applicable. Sense 4 is a fixed text, like a specific prayer (e.g., the Lord's Prayer). Sense 5 is a person who prays. So sense 1 is the correct one.

Thus, the answer is 1.

11. indicate | The clock says noon

We need to interpret the sentence: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says."

This is narrative text. The phrase "he says" is used to report what someone said. It's quoting the preceding words: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer," and then "he says." This is a typical way to attribute speech to a character. In this context, "says" is used to express in words, specifically to utter or state something. But look at the options:
1. express in words (He said that he wanted to marry her) - usually with indirect speech, but can be direct.
2. report or maintain (He alleged...) - more like claim.
8. utter aloud (She said 'Hello' to everyone) - this is direct speech.
The sentence has direct quotation: the words before "he says" are the exact words spoken? Actually, the sentence seems to be a quote from a narrative. "he says" is a reporting verb. The words before are what he says. So it's "utter aloud" or "express in words". However, sense 8 is "utter aloud" with example: "She said `Hello' to everyone in the office." That exactly matches using "say" with a direct quote. Sense 1 is "express in words" with an example of indirect speech. But both could be argued. However, typical dictionary definitions of "say" for direct speech often fall under "utter aloud" or "express in words". The presence of sense 8 specifically "utter aloud" with a direct quote example makes it likely the intended answer. But we need to see the exact nuance. The sentence is a direct quotation of someone's speech, then "he says". It's not reporting an allegation, supposition, wording, instruction, pronunciation, nonverbal expression, opinion/declaration, fixed text, or indication. It's simply an act of speaking aloud. So sense 8: utter aloud. But sense 1: express in words might also fit, but the example for 1 is indirect speech. The example for 8 is direct speech: "She said 'Hello' to everyone in the office." That matches the structure: "[quoted speech]," he says. Thus, sense 8 is most precise.

So answer is 8.

We need to identify which numbered sense of "admit" is used. The senses are provided with definitions and examples.

The sentence uses "admits to mixed feelings". This means he confesses or acknowledges having mixed feelings. The verb "admit" here is used in the sense of confessing or acknowledging something.

Let's check the senses:
1. declare to be true or admit the existence or reality or truth of | examples=He admitted his errors
This matches "admits to mixed feelings" (acknowledging that he has mixed feelings).

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

Sense 2 is about races, which is not relevant. So the answer is 1.

We need to identify which sense of "feeling" is used. "Mixed feelings" is an idiom meaning having conflicting emotions about something. So it refers to emotional states, i.e., sense 1: the experiencing of affective and emotional states. The word "feelings" here is plural, and "mixed feelings" indicates a combination of different emotions (like both positive and negative). That aligns with sense 1's definition and example "she had a feeling of euphoria" (though that's singular, but it's about emotional state). So answer is 1.

Sentence: "Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this <t>issue</t>, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself."

1. an important question that is in dispute and must be settled
2. one of a series published periodically
3. some situation or event that is thought about
4. the act of providing an item for general use or for official purposes (usually in quantity)

7. a phenomenon that follows and is caused by some previous phenomenon
8. the immediate descendants of a person
9. the becoming visible
10. an opening that permits escape or release
11. the act of issuing printed materials

The sentence mentions "this issue" and the context is about a vicar having mixed feelings because he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer. This suggests that the "issue" refers to a topic or matter that involves some conflict or question about bell-ringing and his role as a vicar. It's likely a matter of debate or a particular question. That fits sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" or sense 3: "some situation or event that is thought about". Let's examine: "admits to mixed feelings about this issue" – it's a topic that elicits mixed feelings, possibly something controversial. Sense 1 is specifically about a question in dispute. Sense 3 is broader: a situation or event thought about, like a topic. However, "issue" in this context often means a matter of concern or a problem. Let's see if any other sense fits. No, it's not a periodical (2), not an act of providing (4), not supplies (5), not income (6), not a phenomenon (7), not descendants (8), not becoming visible (9), not an opening (10), not issuing printed materials (11). So between 1 and 3. Usually, sense 1 is more precise: "an important question that is in dispute". The sentence doesn't necessarily indicate a dispute, just mixed feelings about a topic. But "issue" can mean a subject or problem that people are thinking and talking about. Sense 3: "some situation or event that is thought about" – "he kept drifting off the topic" is an example. That sounds like "topic". The sentence says "this issue", which could simply mean "this matter" or "this topic". Without additional context, I'd lean towards sense 3: a situation or event that is thought about (a topic). However, many dictionaries define "issue" as an important topic or problem for debate or discussion. Sense 1 explicitly says "in dispute and must be settled". Is there a dispute? The vicar has mixed feelings, implying a personal conflict, but not necessarily a public dispute. Sense 3 is more neutral: "some situation or event that is thought about." That seems to fit better. I'll check the numbering: 1, 2, 3... So I'll answer 3.

Senses:

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a <t>vicar</t> and an active bell-ringer himself."

We need to identify which numbered sense of "vicar" is used. The senses are:
1. a Roman Catholic priest who acts for another higher-ranking clergyman
2. (Episcopal Church) a clergyman in charge of a chapel
3. (Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish

The sentence mentions "Vicar Marshall" and "bell-ringer". Bell-ringing is a common activity associated with Church of England parishes (change ringing). The term "vicar" in the context of a bell-ringer strongly suggests the Church of England sense (sense 3). There's no indication of Roman Catholic or Episcopal Church contexts. So sense 3 is the most appropriate.

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "active" is used in the sentence: "Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself." The word is tagged with <t>active</t>. We have 14 numbered senses. The sentence says he is an "active bell-ringer". This means he participates in bell-ringing; he is a bell-ringer who actually rings bells. It means he takes part in the activity of bell-ringing. Looking at the senses:

1. tending to become more severe or wider in scope (active tuberculosis) – not relevant.
2. engaged in or ready for military or naval operations – not relevant.
3. disposed to take action or effectuate change – could be somewhat relevant (takes an active interest), but here he is an active bell-ringer, meaning he actually does the activity.
4. taking part in an activity – "an active member of the club" – this seems directly relevant: an active bell-ringer means he takes part in bell-ringing.
5. characterized by energetic activity – "an active toddler" – not the best fit; he's not described as energetic, but as participating.
6. exerting influence or producing a change or effect – "active ingredient" – not relevant.
7. full of activity or engaged in continuous activity – "an active seaport" – not relevant.
8. in operation – "keep hope alive" – not relevant.
9. sun – no.
10. semantic function of actor – no.
11. verbs – no.
12. volcanos capable of erupting – no.
13. erupting or liable to erupt – no.
14. engaged in full-time work – "active duty" – not relevant; bell-ringing is not full-time work.

Sense 4: "taking part in an activity" with example "an active member of the club" fits perfectly. He is an active bell-ringer, meaning he takes part in bell-ringing. So the answer is 4.

Sentence: Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active <t>bell-ringer</t> himself.

Senses:

3. definition=something that exactly succeeds in achieving its goal | examples=the new advertising campaign was a bell ringer

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence and a word "<t>bell-ringer</t>" with multiple numbered senses. We need to determine which sense is used in the sentence and return only the number.

Sentence: "Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active <t>bell-ringer</t> himself."

Senses:
1. a person who rings church bells (as for summoning the congregation)
2. someone who plays musical handbells
3. something that exactly succeeds in achieving its goal (examples: the new advertising campaign was a bell ringer)

The context mentions "Vicar Marshall" who is a vicar, and an active bell-ringer. In church contexts, bell-ringing typically refers to ringing church bells, often for services. The word "vicar" strongly suggests a church setting. Sense 1 fits perfectly: a person who rings church bells. Sense 2 is about musical handbells, which is less likely without specific mention of handbells. Sense 3 is a metaphorical success, which doesn't fit the context of a vicar being an active bell-ringer himself.

Thus, the correct sense is 1.

We need to pick the number.

The sentence: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church". It's talking about the auditory effect produced by bells. Sense 1: "the particular auditory effect produced by a given cause | examples=the sound of rain on the roof". This directly matches "the sound of bells". Sense 2 is the subjective sensation, but "sound of bells" is referring to the effect produced by the bells, not the sensation. Sense 1's example is "the sound of rain on the roof", parallel structure. So answer is 1.

Sentence: 'The sound of <t>bells</t> is a net to draw people into the church,' he says.

Senses: ..."

We need to identify the correct numbered sense. The relevant senses:

1. a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck
2. a push button at an outer door...
3. the sound of a bell being struck | examples=saved by the bell
4. nautical time...
5. shape...
6. phonetician...
7. English painter...
8. US inventor...
9. a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells...
10. the flared opening...

In the sentence: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church". The word "bells" is the object of "sound of". The focus is on the sound produced by bells. But which sense is intended? The sentence uses "bells" as the physical objects that produce sound? It says "The sound of bells". "Bells" here could refer to the physical devices (sense 1), or perhaps the sound itself (sense 3)? Usually, "the sound of bells" means the sound produced by the objects (sense 1). If we say "the sound of bells", "bells" refers to the instruments, not the sound. Sense 3 is "the sound of a bell being struck". The phrase "sound of bells" uses "bells" to mean the instruments that make the sound. So sense 1 is the physical device. Sense 3 defines the sound itself. So "sound of bells" = sound of (hollow device...). If someone says "I heard bells", that could be sense 3 (sound). But here it says "The sound of bells", so "bells" is the noun meaning the objects. Usually, in dictionaries, the primary sense is the object. Sense 3 is the sound. So I'd pick 1. Let's double-check: "The sound of bells" – "bells" is plural of bell, meaning the metal devices. The sentence is about church bells. Church bells are physical bells. So sense 1.

reasoning_content:
We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'draw' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "The sound of bells is a net to <t>draw</t> people into the church," he says.

Senses are provided with numbers 1 through 36.

We need to match the meaning of "draw" in the sentence to one of the given definitions.

Let's analyze the sentence: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church". The word "draw" here means to attract or pull people in, metaphorically. It's about attracting people to come into the church.

Let's look at the senses:

1. cause to move by pulling (draw a wagon) - physical pulling, not metaphorical attraction.
2. get or derive - doesn't fit.
3. make a mark or lines - no.
4. make, formulate, or derive in the mind - no.
5. bring, take, or pull out of a container - no.
6. represent by making a drawing - no.
7. take liquid out - no.
8. give a description of - no.
9. select or take in from a given group - maybe, but it's about attracting, not selecting from a group.
10. elicit responses - could be, but it's people, not responses.
11. suck in air - no.
12. move or go steadily - no, it's transitive.
13. remove commodity - no.
14. choose at random - no.
15. baseball - no.
16. bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition - "She was drawn to despair". This seems close: "draw people into the church" is bringing/leading people to a certain action (coming into the church). But it's "bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition". The example is "She was drawn to despair" - passive. The definition fits: the sound of bells draws people into the church (leads them to come in).
17. cause to flow - no.
18. write legal document - no.
19. engage in drawing - no.
20. move or pull to cover/uncover - no.
21. allow a draft - no.
22. require depth - no.
23. pull apart with horses - no.
24. cause to move in a certain direction by exerting a force, physically or abstractly - "A declining dollar pulled down the export figures". Abstract pulling. This could be it: exerting a force in an abstract sense to move people into the church.
25. take in, also metaphorically - "The sponge absorbs water well". This is absorb, not attract.
26. direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes - "Her good looks attract the stares of many men". This is attract. "draw people into the church" means attract. The definition: direct toward itself/oneself by psychological power. The bells are drawing people. This seems very fitting.
27. thread on string - no.
28. stretch bowstring - no.
29. pass over - no.
30. finish game with tie - no.
31. contract - no.
32. reduce diameter - no.
33. steep/strainer - no.
34. remove entrails - no.
35. flatten metal - no.
36. cause to localize - no.

Let's compare 16, 24, and 26.

16: bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition. "draw people into the church" -> lead someone to an action (entering the church). It's plausible.

24: cause to move in a certain direction by exerting a force upon, either physically or in an abstract sense. Example: "A declining dollar pulled down the export figures". This is about causing movement. Entering a church is movement. The bells exert an abstract force. This could work.

26: direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes. "Her good looks attract the stares of many men". Here, the sound of bells is attracting people to the church. The church (or the sound) directs people toward itself. This is a classic meaning of "draw" as "attract".

Sentence: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church" - Metaphorically, the sound is a net that draws (attracts, pulls in) people. Sense 26 explicitly mentions "attract" in its example: "attract the stares". The definition is "direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes". The sound of bells is using psychological power (or auditory appeal) to direct people toward the church. This seems the most precise.

Sense 24 is more general "cause to move in a certain direction by exerting a force". But sense 26 is specifically about attraction, drawing toward oneself. Since the sentence uses "draw" in the sense of "attract", 26 is a better match.

Also, note that the senses are quite specific. Often, "draw" meaning "attract" is a distinct sense. Let's check if any other sense fits better. Sense 10: elicit responses. People are not responses. Sense 9: select or take in from a given group. That's more like "drawn from a population". Sense 16: bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition – "drawn to despair" is a condition. But "into the church" is a place, an action of entering. It could be either.

However, many dictionaries have "attract" as a primary sense of "draw". I think 26 is the intended answer because it directly equates to "attract" (the example uses "attract").

Let's double-check the numbering:
The text says:
26. definition=direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes | examples=Her good looks attract the stares of many men

Yes, that's the "attract" sense. "draw people into the church" means attract people into the church.

Thus, the answer should be 26.

We need to choose which sense matches "people" in the sentence. The sentence is about drawing people into the church. It refers to human beings in general, not specifically citizens of a state, not a family line, and not "the common people" as opposed to a ruling class. It's just a group of human beings. Sense 1 says "any group of human beings collectively". That fits perfectly. So the 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

We need to figure out which sense is used. The sentence talks about "the sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church". This implies the bells draw people into the physical building (the place of worship) or perhaps the service? But the phrase "draw people into the church" typically refers to attracting them to attend the church (the institution or the building). The bells ring, and people come into the physical church building. The phrase "into the church" suggests a location. Sense 2 is "a place for public (especially Christian) worship", example "the church was empty". That fits. Sense 3 is a service; you don't typically draw people into a service with bells in that phrasing; you might say "draw people to church" (meaning the service), but "into the church" indicates the building. Sense 1 is a denomination, sense 4 is the congregation. The sentence says "into the church", so it's the building. So answer is 2.

reasoning_content:
We are asked to identify which numbered sense of "say" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church," he <t>says</t>. The word is used as a reporting verb for quoted speech. Let's look at the senses.

1. express in words. He said that he wanted to marry her. This is a general sense for saying something, often with reported speech. In the sentence, "he says" introduces a direct quote. This fits "express in words".

2. report or maintain. He alleged... This often implies asserting something that might be contested. The sentence is a simple quote, no connotation of alleging.

3. express a supposition. Let us say... Not this.

4. have or contain a certain wording or form. The passage reads as follows. Used for texts, not for a person speaking.

5. give instructions... Not this.

6. speak, pronounce... Not this.

7. communicate nonverbally. Not this.

8. utter aloud. She said 'Hello'... This is similar but "utter aloud" emphasizes the act of speaking aloud. But "express in words" is broader. In many dictionaries, introducing a direct quote falls under "express in words" or "utter". Let's compare 1 and 8. 1: "He said that he wanted to marry her" (indirect speech). 8: "She said 'Hello'..." (direct speech). In the sentence, it's direct speech: "The sound... church," he says. So it's like 8: utter aloud. However, 8 is specifically "utter aloud", with example direct speech. 1 is "express in words" with example indirect speech. The given sentence uses direct speech. So 8 seems more precise.

Let's check all: The tag is "he says" indicating the act of saying those exact words. The example for 8 is direct quote: "She said 'Hello'...". That matches exactly. So sense 8.

7. definition=pursue a positive and satisfying existence | examples=You must accept yourself and others if you really want to live

reasoning_content:
We need to determine which sense of "live" is used in the sentence: "I <t>live</t> in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."

We have numbered senses:

1. inhabit or live in; be an inhabitant of (e.g., People lived in Africa millions of years ago)
2. lead a certain kind of life; live in a certain style (e.g., we had to live frugally after the war)
3. continue to live through hardship or adversity (e.g., We went without water and food for 3 days)
4. support oneself (e.g., he could barely exist on such a low wage)
5. have life, be alive (e.g., Our great leader is no more)
6. have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations (e.g., I know the feeling!)
7. pursue a positive and satisfying existence (e.g., You must accept yourself and others if you really want to live)

The sentence: "I live in hopes that ..." means I exist with the hope/expectation that something will happen. "Live in hopes" is an expression meaning to maintain a state of hoping, to lead one's life with that hope. It doesn't mean physically inhabit a place (sense 1). It doesn't mean just survive hardship (3), support oneself (4), or be alive (5), or have firsthand knowledge (6). It seems closest to sense 2: "lead a certain kind of life; live in a certain style." "Live in hopes" describes a way of living, a state of mind. Also sense 7 is about pursuing a positive and satisfying existence; "live in hopes" is similar but more about a state of mind rather than necessarily pursuing. However, sense 2 is "lead a certain kind of life; live in a certain style." The example: "we had to live frugally" is an adverbial modification. "Live in hopes" is like living hopefully, a style/manner. Thus, sense 2 fits best.

I'll return 2.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'hope' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "I live in <t>hopes</t> that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."

We have six senses provided. We need to match the usage "hopes" (plural) in the sentence to one of the senses.

Let's analyze the sentence: "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life." The phrase "in hopes that" is idiomatic, meaning "with the hope that" or "expecting that". Here, "hopes" is a noun, plural. It expresses an expectation or desire that something will happen. The sense is the feeling of wanting something to happen and thinking that it could happen. Let's check the senses:

1. a specific instance of feeling hopeful. Example: "it revived their hope of winning the pennant". This sense seems to be a specific instance. The phrase "in hopes that" could be considered a specific instance of feeling hopeful? Possibly.

2. the general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled. Example: "in spite of his troubles he never gave up hope". This is more about the general feeling or state of mind. "in hopes that" might be a specific instance, but it's a general expression of hope.

3. grounds for feeling hopeful about the future. Example: "there is little or no promise that he will recover". Here "promise" is used synonymously? But the sense is "grounds". "Hopes" might not be grounds, it's the feeling itself.

4. someone (or something) on which expectations are centered. Example: "he was their best hope for a victory". This is a person or thing that is the object of hope. Not "in hopes that".

5. United States comedian... obviously not.

6. one of the three Christian virtues. Not.

Now, "I live in hopes that..." The word "hopes" is plural. Often, "hopes" plural can refer to grounds for hope, or expectations. The phrase "live in hopes" is an idiom meaning to be hopeful. Let's check dictionaries.

"Live in hopes" — to be optimistic, to expect that something will happen. For example: "I live in hopes that one day she'll come back." It's about the feeling of hope. The sense is likely 1: "a specific instance of feeling hopeful" or 2: "the general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled". Since it's "hopes" (plural), it might refer to instances of hope. But sense 1 is "a specific instance of feeling hopeful", with example "it revived their hope of winning the pennant" (singular). Here it's plural "hopes". That might still fit sense 1, but as multiple instances? The sentence is "I live in hopes", which is an idiomatic expression, essentially meaning "I am hopeful". It's a state of hope. Many dictionaries define "hope" as a feeling of expectation and desire. The plural form "hopes" can mean "feelings of expectation and desire" or "grounds for hope". For instance, "She has high hopes for her children." That is often sense 2 or 1. Let's analyze the precise sense numbers.

Typically, "in the hope(s) that" is a prepositional phrase meaning "with the feeling that something desired may happen". It's a specific instance or the general feeling. WordNet usually distinguishes between:
- hope: a specific instance of feeling hopeful (e.g., "it revived their hope of winning the pennant") -> this is countable, singular or plural.
- hope: the general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled (e.g., "in spite of his troubles he never gave up hope") -> this is usually uncountable.

In the given sentence, "hopes" is plural, which often indicates specific instances. But the idiom "in hopes that" uses plural? Usually we say "in the hope that" or "in hopes that". Both exist. "I live in hopes that..." — "hopes" plural suggests it's sense 1, which is a specific instance of feeling hopeful. Or it could be sense 3: "grounds for feeling hopeful about the future" — example: "there is little or no promise that he will recover". "Hopes" can sometimes mean the grounds or prospects. However, the phrase "live in hopes" is archaic/literary, meaning to be hopeful. I'd lean towards sense 2 or 1. But let's check the examples given:

1. definition=a specific instance of feeling hopeful | examples=it revived their hope of winning the pennant
2. definition=the general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled | examples=in spite of his troubles he never gave up hope
3. definition=grounds for feeling hopeful about the future | examples=there is little or no promise that he will recover
4. definition=someone (or something) on which expectations are centered | examples=he was their best hope for a victory

"I live in hopes that..." — I think it's a plural form of sense 1: specific instances of feeling hopeful. "Hopes" here are the feelings of hope. Alternatively, it could be sense 2, but sense 2 is the general feeling, uncountable. "Hopes" plural usually maps to countable instances (sense 1) or grounds (sense 3). The phrase "live in hopes" is an idiom. Oxford Dictionary: "hope" as a noun: 1. (often plural) a feeling of expectation and desire for a particular thing to happen. "he had high hopes for the future." That would correspond to sense 1, specific instance. "I live in hopes" means "I live with the expectation/desire". So sense 1 seems best.

Let's verify: WordNet senses for "hope":
1. a specific instance of feeling hopeful; "it revived their hope of winning the pennant"
2. the general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled; "in spite of his troubles he never gave up hope"
3. grounds for feeling hopeful about the future; "there is little or no promise that he will recover" (this is promise as a synonym? Actually WordNet has "promise, hope" as synonyms? "there is much hope for the future")
4. someone (or something) on which expectations are centered; "he was their best hope for a victory"
5. United States comedian (born in England) who appeared in films with Bing Crosby (1903-2003) -> Bob Hope
6. one of the three Christian virtues

In the sentence: "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life." This is from a text? Possibly "The Nine Tailors" by Dorothy Sayers? The phrase "live in hopes" appears there? In any case, "hopes" here is used in the phrase "live in hopes", meaning to be hopeful. It's a specific instance or the general feeling? "Hopes" is plural, so it could be "feelings of hope". I'd go with 1, as plural specific instances. But it might also be 2 if we consider "hopes" an archaic use of the general feeling. Let's search my memory: In some dictionaries, "hope" can be countable when referring to a particular thing you hope for. "I have hopes of marrying her." That's sense 1. "Live in hopes" is similar. I think sense 1 is correct.

To be safe, let's see the examples: "it revived their hope of winning the pennant" — that's a specific instance, with "of" phrase. "in spite of his troubles he never gave up hope" — general feeling, no plural. Our sentence uses plural "hopes", so it's a countable use, which aligns with sense 1. Thus, the answer is likely 1.

Sentence: "I live in hopes that the <t>ringers</t> themselves will be drawn into that fuller life. "

Senses:

2. definition=a person who is almost identical to another

reasoning_content:
We are given a sentence: "I live in hopes that the <t>ringers</t> themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."

We need to identify which sense of "ringer" (marked with <t></t>) is used. The senses provided:

1. a person who rings church bells
2. a person who is almost identical to another
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

Let's analyze the sentence. It says "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life." Without more context, it's a bit ambiguous, but we need to pick the most likely sense. "Ringers" could refer to bell ringers. The phrase "drawn into that fuller life" suggests a spiritual or community context, possibly related to church. Church bell ringers are often called ringers. The other senses: a look-alike (sense 2) or a fraudulent contestant (sense 3) or a horseshoe throw (sense 4) don't fit as naturally with "drawn into that fuller life." Sense 1 (bell ringers) seems plausible because they are people who can be "drawn into" a fuller life, perhaps a spiritual life. The sentence might be from a religious or community text about engaging people. So I'll go with sense 1.

Thus, the answer is 1.

We are asked to determine which sense of "draw" is used in the sentence:

"I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be <t>drawn</t> into that fuller life."

We need to choose the correct number from the list of 36 senses.

Let's analyze the sentence. "drawn into" something means to be attracted, led, or pulled into a state or situation. The ringers will be brought into a fuller life. This is a figurative use, meaning to be led or attracted towards something, often gradually or by some influence.

Looking at the definitions:

1. cause to move by pulling - physical pulling, not really fitting "into a fuller life".
2. get or derive - doesn't fit.
3. make a mark or lines - no.
4. make, formulate, or derive in the mind - no.
5. bring, take, or pull out of a container - no.
6. represent by drawing - no.
7. take liquid out - no.
8. give a description of - no.
9. select or take in from a given group or region - no.
10. elicit responses - no.
11. suck in or take (air) - no.
12. move or go steadily or gradually - possibly, but "draw near" is an example; "drawn into" could be metaphorical movement.
13. remove from supply source - no.
14. choose at random - no.
15. earn or achieve a base - no.
16. bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition - "She was drawn to despair" is a very close example. "drawn into that fuller life" fits "bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition".
17. cause to flow - no.
18. write a legal document - no.
19. engage in drawing - no.
20. move or pull to cover/uncover - no.
21. allow a draft - no.
22. require a specified depth - no.
23. pull apart with horses - no.
24. cause to move in a certain direction by exerting a force upon, either physically or in an abstract sense - This could also fit, as "drawn into" implies a force causing movement in an abstract sense. But definition 16 seems more specific: "bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition" with example "She was drawn to despair". "drawn into despair" and "drawn into that fuller life" are parallel.
25. take in, also metaphorically - The sponge absorbs water well; "absorb" could be metaphorical, but "drawn into" is more about being led.
26. direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes - "attract" is close. The ringers are attracted into a fuller life.
27. thread on a string - no.
28. stretch back a bowstring - no.
29. pass over, across, or through - no.
30. finish a game with tie - no.
31. contract - no.
32. reduce diameter - no.
33. steep; pass through a strainer - no.
34. remove entrails - no.
35. flatten, stretch metal - no.
36. cause to localize at one point - no.

Between 16, 24, and 26:
16: "bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition" -> "She was drawn to despair"
24: "cause to move in a certain direction by exerting a force upon, either physically or in an abstract sense"
26: "direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes" -> "attract"

The phrase "drawn into that fuller life" implies being led into a condition. Sense 16 specifically has an example with "drawn to despair" which is very similar to "drawn into despair" or "drawn into a fuller life". Sense 26 is "attract", but "drawn into" is more about leading or bringing rather than just attracting. Sense 24 is a bit broader but 16 seems more precise with the "condition" aspect.

I'll select 16.

We are asked: "Which numbered sense of 'full' (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense."

Sentence: "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that <t>fuller</t> life."

We need to pick the sense number from the list that matches the usage in the sentence. The word is "fuller" (comparative of "full"). The sentence: "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."

Let's examine the senses:

1. containing as much or as many as is possible or normal (a full glass) - not exactly; "fuller life" doesn't mean a life containing as much as possible, but rather a life that is more complete or rich.

2. constituting the full quantity or extent; complete (an entire town devastated) - This sense seems to mean "entire", like "the full town". Not quite "fuller life".

3. complete in extent or degree and in every particular (a full game) - "a full game" means a complete game. "Fuller life" might mean a more complete life. Could be.

4. filled to satisfaction with food or drink (a full stomach) - no.

5. (of sound) having marked deepness and body (full tones) - no.

6. having the normally expected amount (gives full measure) - no, not about a measured amount.

7. being at a peak or culminating point (broad daylight) - "broad daylight" is an example for peak? Actually, "full daylight" is a peak? "fuller life" might be a life at its peak? But "fuller" is comparative; peak is absolute.

8. having ample fabric (the current taste for wide trousers) - no.

The phrase "fuller life" often means a richer, more complete, more satisfying life. This aligns best with sense 3: "complete in extent or degree and in every particular". "Full" can mean "complete, entire, rich". For example, "a full life" means a life rich in experience and activity. Sense 3: "a full game" meaning a complete game. But a "full life" is often defined as a complete, rich life.

Let's check other senses. Sense 1 is about capacity. Sense 2 is about entire quantity, but "the full town" means the whole town. Not "fuller life".

In many dictionaries, "full life" is defined as "a life that is rich and complete". That matches sense 3's definition: "complete in extent or degree and in every particular". The example "a full game" is a complete game. So yes, sense 3.

Thus the answer should be 3.

We need to find which sense fits "fuller life" in "the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life". The phrase "fuller life" means a richer, more complete existence. It's about the experience of being alive, or a mode of living. "Fuller life" is similar to "a better life", "a more fulfilling life". Sense 1: "a characteristic state or mode of living" - example "social life". "Fuller life" might fit a mode of living. Sense 2: "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities" - "complexities of life". Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living" - "he hoped for a new life in Australia" - "new life" often means a fresh start, a different course of existence. "Fuller life" could mean a richer course of existence. Which one is closer? "A fuller life" is often an idiom meaning a more meaningful or richer existence. Sense 2 is the general experience of being alive, the human condition. Sense 3 is an individual's life course. Sense 1 is a mode of living (like social life). I'd lean towards sense 2 or 3. But let's think: "that fuller life" refers to a specific quality of existence the ringers would be drawn into. Probably sense 3: the course of existence of an individual; actions and events that occur in living. "He hoped for a new life" is very similar. The phrase "fuller life" typically refers to a life more fully lived, i.e., a richer individual existence. But sometimes "life" in "fuller life" means the experience of being alive (sense 2). However, sense 3 explicitly has the example "new life", which parallels "fuller life" as a transformed individual course of existence. Many dictionaries might classify "a fuller life" under "the condition, quality, or fact of being a living person" but that's sense 4? Sense 4 is "the condition of living or the state of being alive" (examples: while there's life there's hope). That's more about existence vs. death. "Fuller life" is about the quality of life, not just being alive. Sense 1 is "mode of living". "social life" is a mode. "Fuller life" could be a mode of living, but it's often more holistic. Let's examine the sentence: "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life." The context: ringers (bell ringers?) will be drawn into a fuller life, perhaps a more spiritually or socially rich existence. This is likely from a religious or philosophical text? "Fuller life" often appears in contexts like "fuller life in Christ" meaning a richer spiritual existence. That could be sense 2 (experience of being alive). Or sense 3 (individual's course of existence). In the list, sense 2 is "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities". Sense 3 is "the course of existence of an individual". I'd say "fuller life" is about the quality of one's experience. The example for sense 2 is "he could no longer cope with the complexities of life", which refers to life in general. "Fuller life" could be a specific individual's life. I'd check dictionaries: WordNet? The senses are from WordNet perhaps. Let's see WordNet senses for "life":
1. a characteristic state or mode of living; "social life"; "city life"; "real life"
2. the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities; "he could no longer cope with the complexities of life"
3. the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living; "he hoped for a new life in Australia"; "he wanted to live his own life without interference from others"
4. the condition of living or the state of being alive; "while there's life there's hope"; "life depends on many chemical and physical processes"
5. the period during which something is functional (as between birth and death); "the battery had a short life"; "he lived a long and happy life"
6. the period between birth and the present time; "I have known him all his life"
7. the period from the present until death; "he appointed himself emperor for life"
8. a living person; "his heroism saved a life"
9. animation and energy in action or expression; "it was a heavy play and the actors tried in vain to give life to it"
10. living things collectively; "the oceans are teeming with life"
11. the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones; "there is no life on the moon"
12. an account of the series of events making up a person's life
13. a motive for living; "pottery was his life"
14. a prison term lasting as long as the prisoner lives; "he got life for killing the guard"

Given these, "fuller life" likely corresponds to sense 3: the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living. Example: "he hoped for a new life" is very analogous to "fuller life". It's about the quality and experiences of an individual's life. Sense 5 is "the period during which something is functional... he lived a long and happy life" — wait, "he lived a long and happy life" is under sense 5? "The period during which something is functional (as between birth and death)" examples: "the battery had a short life"; "he lived a long and happy life". That's a possibility. "Fuller life" could refer to a life that is fuller in quality during its period. But "fuller" doesn't mean longer; it means richer, more meaningful. That's more about the content/experiences (sense 3) than the duration (sense 5). Sense 3: "the actions and events that occur in living" — that's the content. "New life" means a fresh start in one's actions and events. "Fuller life" means richer actions and events. So sense 3 seems best.

Let's double-check: "that fuller life" could be a specific state or mode of living (sense 1), e.g., "a life of prayer". But sense 1 example is "social life", "city life", "real life". "Fuller life" isn't a type of life like "social life"; it's a qualitative description of an individual's existence. So sense 3 is more apt. WordNet often puts such qualitative "life" in sense 3. I'll go with 3.

We need to determine which sense of "sort" is used in the given sentence.

Sentence: The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, a <t>sort</t> of parliament of ringing groups, aims to improve relations with vicars, says John C. Baldwin, president.

The phrase is "a sort of parliament". This is a usage where "sort of" means something like "a type of" or "a kind of", used to describe something as being similar to something else, or an approximate example. Let's look at the senses:

1. definition=a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality | examples=sculpture is a form of art
2. definition=an approximate definition or example | examples=she wore a sort of magenta dress
3. definition=a person of a particular character or nature | examples=what sort of person is he?
4. definition=an operation that segregates items into groups according to a specified criterion | examples=the bottleneck in mail delivery is the process of sorting

In the sentence, "a sort of parliament" is an approximate definition/example: The Central Council is not literally a parliament, but it's like a parliament, a kind of parliament. This matches sense 2: "an approximate definition or example", with the example "she wore a sort of magenta dress" (i.e., something like magenta). Sense 1 refers to a literal category, like sculpture is a form of art. But here, it's an approximate comparison, not a strict category. Sense 2 is the perfect match.

Thus, the answer is 2.

We need to identify which sense matches the usage of "groups" in the sentence. The sentence refers to "ringing groups", i.e., groups of church bell ringers. This is a social organization, a collection of people. Sense 1: "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit" fits this perfectly. Sense 2 is chemistry, sense 3 is mathematics. So the answer is 1.

6. definition=direct (a remark) toward an intended goal | examples=She wanted to aim a pun
7. definition=have an ambitious plan or a lofty goal

We need to pick the sense that matches "aims to improve relations with vicars". The verb "aims" here is intransitive (or used with an infinitive: "aims to improve"). It means "to intend or plan". Sense 2 says "propose or intend" with example "I aim to arrive at noon". That's exactly the same structure: "I aim to [verb]". Sense 7: "have an ambitious plan or a lofty goal" might also fit, but the example "I aim to arrive at noon" from sense 2 is a perfect match. So sense 2 is correct.

Thus, answer: 2

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

Sentence: The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, a sort of parliament of ringing groups, aims to <t>improve</t> relations with vicars, says John C. Baldwin, president.

Sentence: "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, a sort of parliament of ringing groups, aims to <t>improve</t> relations with vicars, says John C. Baldwin, president."

Senses:
1. definition=to make better | examples=The editor improved the manuscript with his changes
2. definition=get better | examples=The weather improved toward evening

Here, "improve" is transitive, with an object "relations". The subject is "The Central Council ..." which is an agent that aims to improve relations. So it's the transitive sense: to make better. Sense 1 is "to make better". Sense 2 is intransitive "get better". The sentence uses "improve" as a transitive verb (improve relations), so it's sense 1.

Thus answer: 1

3. definition=(Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish

The context is Church Bell Ringing, which is strongly associated with the Church of England (Anglican churches) in the UK. Bell ringing is typically done in Church of England parishes. So "vicars" here most likely refers to Church of England clergy. Sense 3 matches: "(Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish." So the answer is 3.
