**Analyzing the Sense of "Far"**

Okay, here's the situation: the lemma is "far," and the surface form is "Far" (capitalized, interesting... but not immediately relevant). The context is "Far above in the belfry, the huge bronze bells...". My immediate thought is, this is pretty straightforward. I need to determine which sense of "far" is being used in this sentence.

Let's look at the candidate senses: I've got "to a considerable degree; very much," "at or to or from a great distance in space," "at or to a certain point or degree," "remote in time," and "to an advanced stage or point." Hmm... right away, the context "Far above in the belfry" screams *spatial* distance to me. I'm thinking sense 2 is going to be the winner.

"Far above" clearly indicates a considerable spatial separation. The bells are located at a great distance above something else. The other senses just don't fit the context well. "Very much above" doesn't quite capture the physical separation; it implies degree, but not a defined distance. "Remote in time" is completely off the mark. As for "to an advanced stage or point" or "to a certain point or degree," that doesn't fit the context of something *being* a great distance *above* something.

Therefore, sense 2, "at or to or from a great distance in space," is unequivocally the correct one. The word "far" is used in this sentence to indicate the spatial separation of the belfry and the bells. This seems pretty basic for me, but it's important to make a definitive choice, so I have a clear understanding of the sentence meaning.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Above"**

Okay, so the target word is "above," and it's used as "Far above in the belfry...". My task is to determine which sense of "above" is intended. I've got two candidates, both related to spatial relationships, which is a good starting point.

The first, "at an earlier place," seems a bit off, it doesn't really seem to fit the context. The second option, "in or to a place that is higher," is much more promising. The phrase "Far above in the belfry" clearly implies a physical location that is positioned at a higher point, the belfry is physically above another place. This is a very straightforward spatial relationship.

Given the contextual information, the second sense, "in or to a place that is higher," seems like the definitive correct interpretation. It fits the description perfectly.

**Analyzing "Bronze" in Context**

Okay, so the word I need to understand is "bronze" within the phrase "the huge bronze bells." Let's break this down systematically. I immediately pull up the potential senses: the first is describing its *color* – being "of the color of bronze," essentially "bronzy." The second, however, is key: it describes it as being *made of* bronze, "made from or consisting of bronze."

Now, looking at the context, "Far above in the belfry, the huge bronze bells, mounted on wheels, swing madly..." bells are *typically* cast from bronze. That's a given. We're talking about their *material* composition here, not just a visual description. Therefore, it's clear the intended meaning is the metallic sense. So, the correct sense is number 2. No surprises there!

**Analyzing the Context of "Bells"**

Okay, so the task at hand is to understand "bells" in this sentence. The context immediately tells me we're dealing with "huge bronze bells, mounted on wheels, swing madly through a full 360 degrees...". Right away, that screams "church bells" to me, but let's be methodical. My target lemma is "bell," and the surface form is, of course, "bells."

I've got a list of potential senses to consider. I see things like "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck," "doorbell," "the sound of a bell," "nautical time," "shape," "chime, gong," and "flared opening." Pretty standard set of possibilities.

Given the description of size, material ("bronze"), mounting, and action ("swinging"), that first sense – the physical metal object that rings – is the clear winner. It's a perfect match for "huge bronze bells." It's definitely not a doorbell, sound itself, or a nautical term. I don’t think any of the other senses make sense in this context.

Therefore, I'm confident in selecting Sense 1: bell%1:06:00:: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck." This is the appropriate sense.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Mounted"**

Okay, the target is "mount," and the surface form is "mounted." The context is "...the huge bronze bells, mounted on wheels, swing madly through a full 360 degrees..." Immediately, I'm zeroing in on the meaning here: it's about something being *attached* to something else, specifically the bells to the wheels.

Let's look at the candidates. Candidate 1 (mount%2:35:00::) is "attach to a support," and Candidate 3 (mount%2:30:01::) is "fix onto a backing, setting, or support." They're similar, but let's break it down. Candidate 1, "attach to a support," seems to fit better with the idea of hardware or machinery being fixed *to* something, like guns, aerators, or, in this case, bells. Candidate 3 sounds more like mounting a picture or a slide.

WordNet's definitions reinforce this. "They mounted the aerator on a floating" for Candidate 1 is spot on for my interpretation, and "mount slides for macroscopic analysis" for Candidate 3 is clearly something different.

The phrase "mounted on wheels" strongly suggests a hardware connection. It's a physical attachment for support, not a backing or setting. I can see this being described as attaching the bells to the support structure of the wheels. Scanning WordNet again, both definitions align, but Candidate 1 feels more precise here.

Therefore, I'm going with Candidate 1. It's the most accurate interpretation of the sentence, capturing the essence of the bells being attached to the wheels for structural support. It's the right sense.

**Analyzing "Wheels" in the Bell Context**

Okay, so the task at hand is to determine the correct sense of "wheels" in the provided sentence about church bells. The surface form is "wheels", and I'm targeting the lemma "wheel". Given the sentence: "the huge bronze bells, mounted on wheels, swing madly through a full 360 degrees...", I need to choose the most accurate sense from the list.

Let's quickly run through the candidates. "Wheel%1:06:00::" – a circular frame with spokes, rotating on an axle, like those in vehicles – that's definitely a front-runner. "Wheel%1:06:05::", a steering wheel, is not applicable in this context. "Wheel%1:07:00::" – forces that provide energy – seems abstract and doesn't fit the physical description. "Wheel%1:06:01::", a ship's helm, no. "Wheel%1:06:03::", a roulette wheel, definitely no. "Wheel%1:06:02::", a rack, definitely not. "Wheel%1:06:06::", a bicycle, is also incorrect.

Now, let's go back and explicitly consider the context. The bells are *mounted* on these "wheels" and *swing* through a full rotation. It's a mechanical setup. The description, "mounted on wheels, swing madly", strongly indicates a mechanical system allowing for rotation. Sense 1, "a simple machine consisting of a circular frame with spokes (or a solid disc) that can rotate on a shaft or axle," is a perfect fit. It's the only one that makes sense in this context.

So, the definitive answer is sense index 1. This "wheel" is indeed a rotating, mechanical device.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Swing" in a Bell-Ringing Context**

Okay, here's my thought process. The target word is "swing," and I need to determine the best sense given the description of bells swinging 360 degrees. My initial thought is to consider the basic idea of movement, perhaps "move in a curve or arc" (sense 1), since that feels intuitively correct. However, the text mentions "360 degrees," which immediately makes me think of rotation or turning.

I go through the candidates. "Move or walk in a swinging or swaying manner" (sense 2), doesn't seem right. It suggests a back-and-forth, swaying motion, which doesn't perfectly capture a complete rotation. "Change direction with a swinging motion; turn" (sense 3), feels like a strong contender. The 360-degree action is a perfect match for turning. The bells are "mounted on wheels", emphasizing the rotational movement. Sense 3 fits this very well.

I examine if "influence decisively" (sense 4), "make a big sweeping gesture" (sense 5), or "hang freely" (sense 6), are applicable, but none of those fit the context. Sense 1, "move in a curve or arc," seems plausible, but it feels like it implies a more open arc, not a full circle. Also, Sense 1 includes "usually with the intent of hitting." which is not applicable.

I consider if the motion of the bell is like a pendulum. I search WordNet to examine the term "pendulum" but don't find a direct synonym. I then re-check "swing" and examine "sway" to see if there is an option that is related to pendulums. Sway is not a match.

I read "the bells are mounted on wheels and they swing madly through a full 360 degrees", and "swing madly through a full 360 degrees" = turn madly through 360 degrees.

I revisit WordNet examples, particularly "swing back; swing forward". This really clicks. The bells move in this swinging back and forth, turning manner. This perfectly matches the context! A bell is mounted on wheels, "swing madly through a full 360 degrees, starting and ending, surprisingly, in the inverted, or mouth-up position". In change ringing, this is the motion of the bells being pulled by skilled ringers.

I consider Candidate 1 "move in a curve or arc," again. The movement is circular, which is a curve, so it works. But is it the best one? A full 360 degrees implies a turn, and Sense 3 includes the word "turn" in its definition. I'm leaning toward Sense 3 because it describes the rotational movement with more precision.

I check WordNet's hierarchy.  The hypernym of "swing" in Candidate 3 (change direction with a swinging motion; turn) is "turn". Thus, "swing" = turn. Perfect match! "Swing back" and "swing forward" fit bells.

Considering everything, I am very confident that the best sense is "change direction with a swinging motion; turn" (sense 3).

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Madly" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "madly," and the phrase is "...the huge bronze bells, mounted on wheels, swing madly through a full 360 degrees..." My initial thought is to consider the possible senses of "madly." I know it can mean "in an uncontrolled manner," which brings to mind synonyms like "frantically." It could also imply "in an insane manner," perhaps "insanely" or "crazily," or perhaps indicate something being "extremely," like "insanely" or "devilishly."

Given the context of swinging bells, the idea of an uncontrolled or frantic motion seems most fitting. They aren't likely *literally* insane, and although the swing could be "extreme," that's not the most immediate connotation here. Let me circle back to Sense 1, "in an uncontrolled manner," and review those synonyms. Thinking about the physical action, "frantically" or "wildly" seem to capture the visual image of those heavy bells in motion more accurately than the other senses, or synonyms.

So, I'm going with sense 1. The bells swing "madly" -- I'm interpreting that as "in an uncontrolled manner" or "frantically," even though that motion is likely controlled by the ringers, the motion appears wild. This seems the most appropriate interpretation here.

**Analysis of "full" in the Context of "a full 360 degrees"**

Alright, let's break this down. The target is "full" in "a full 360 degrees". My initial thought is to consider the primary candidate senses provided. Given the phrase, the focus is undoubtedly on the *quantity* or *extent* of the rotation.

Immediately, senses 2 ("constituting the full quantity or extent; complete") and 3 ("complete in extent or degree and in every particular") are the frontrunners. Sense 6 ("having the normally expected amount") seems less likely, as there's no "normal" amount of degrees here, the focus is on the *specific* amount of 360 degrees. Senses dealing with food, sound, fabric, or culmination are obviously irrelevant.

"A full 360 degrees" clearly refers to the *entire* or *complete* rotation, so I'm leaning towards the synonym set linked to "whole" and "complete". Let's dig deeper into the WordNet connections. I see the satellite roots for sense 2 is tied to `whole:00` and for sense 3 is tied to `complete:00`.

Now, if I think about this in the context of the sentence, the phrase is describing a specific, quantifiable extent of movement. "An entire 360 degrees" works, as does "a complete 360 degrees", but what is interesting is that "full" highlights that the quantity is the maximum attainable, not just a *part* of the whole.

After checking WordNet, it shows two possibilities, with synonyms:

1.  "entire, full, total"
2.  "full, total"

Synset 1 maps to `whole%3:00:00::`, and 2 maps to `complete%3:00:00::`.

Now, I'm thinking about the glosses and examples. "Constitutes the full quantity or extent; complete" seems more direct for "360 degrees" than "complete in extent or degree and in every particular." Degree sounds like intensity here instead of an amount (angle). "Entire" also works.

Considering the examples given in WordNet, "a full game" is complete in *every* particular, like innings. But "a full 360 degrees" is complete *in extent*. The sentence does not really capture *all* the various components of the event. It focuses on the angular displacement. The synonyms "entire" and "total" make a good fit.

Checking the WordNet gloss of `whole%3:00:00::` and `complete%3:00:00::` is important. The extent of 360 degrees is a quantity, and "constituting the full quantity or extent" seems like a perfect match to describe this situation. It is the full quantity of 360 degrees.

Looking at the definitions, sense 2's definition of "quantity or extent" is direct, while sense 3's "every particular" seems redundant for simple measurement like "360 degrees".

I'm gravitating towards `full%5:00:01:whole:00`. Also, I see in WordNet 3.0: `full%5:00:01:whole:00` as synonyms "entire, full, total", and `full%5:00:00:complete:00` has "full, total." I can see how *entire* applies as in "an entire 360 degrees."

Let's rethink: "swing madly through a full 360 degrees". Is the meaning "whole" or "complete"? The 360 degrees means "full extent" not *in all particulars*. I'll focus on "full quantity or extent."

Let's review the two senses again:

*   **Sense 2**: constitutes the full quantity or extent; complete.
*   **Sense 3**: complete in extent or degree and in every particular.

360 degrees is a measure of extent; the second is more focused on "particulars", and that doesn't fit the context. The "particulars" element seems less suitable here, as it doesn't need all the specifics of the movement. Also, "360 degrees" does not imply the event is complete in every single aspect, but the angular displacement.

So, for “a full 360 degrees”, I will select **sense 2: `full%5:00:01:whole:00`**. The phrase directly denotes the entirety of the angular displacement of 360 degrees. The "quantity or extent" is emphasized. It does refer to a specific amount

**Analyzing the Context of "Degrees"**

Okay, so the target word is "degree," and in this instance, it's presented as "degrees." The surrounding text is: "...the huge bronze bells, mounted on wheels, swing madly through a full 360 degrees, starting and ending..." Right away, it clicks – we're talking about the measure of an angle or arc. Now, let's consider the possible senses.

I quickly run through the usual suspects: a position on a scale, a specific position in a continuum, an academic degree, the mathematical measure for arcs and angles (which is the most likely candidate here), the highest power in algebra, unit of temperature, and even the seriousness of something.

Given the phrase "swing madly through a full 360 degrees," the context *screams* sense number 4. We're talking about a complete rotation, a full circle, and the 360 is defining a quantifiable measurement of that rotation. Sense number 4 is by far the best choice here.

**Analysis of "Starting" in Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "starting," and the context describes the motion of bells. My initial thought is to consider the different senses of "start" to see which fits. I'm focusing on the phrase "starting and ending in the inverted position," because "ending" will give us clues. Sense 1 ("take the first step") seems off; the bells are being moved, not actively deciding to *take* an action, even though I see the bells are described as "swinging madly." Sense 4 ("have a beginning in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense") and Sense 12 ("have a beginning characterized in some specified way") are the strongest contenders.

The inverted position describes a spatial state, a *where* more than a *how*. I considered Sense 12 at first because "My property begins with the three maple trees" is a good example; it is a description. But then I see that "The DMZ begins right over the hill" is listed under Sense 4! The "in the inverted position" phrase *spatially* describes where the swing starts, very similar to spatial examples like "The DMZ begins right over the hill." It seems a locative/spatial description of a beginning.

The core of the problem comes down to the subject of "starting." Is it the bells that have a beginning (in which case, the phrase describes a boundary of the *motion* of the bells) or does "start" apply to the event of the *swinging*? Grammatically, since "swing" is the verb, and "starting and ending" are participial phrases describing the action, it is the event of the *swinging* that has a beginning and an end in the inverted position, which fits with Sense 4: "have a beginning in a temporal, spatial, or evaluative sense." I see now that "starting" has to have the sense of "have a beginning", and since "in the inverted position" shows spatial location, that makes Sense 4 the best fit.

In "starting and ending," since ending relates to having an end *in a spatial sense*, then "start" matches as having a beginning in a spatial sense, as well. Now that I think about it, "in the inverted position" clearly provides a spatial starting point. This is like "Prices start at $250,000," which is also evaluative, because it specifies the boundary of this start.

The key is that the swinging of the bells has a boundary and a beginning point! This boundary, "in the inverted position," falls under Sense 4 as spatial! Given that, I am completely confident in Sense 4 being the correct sense.

**Analyzing the "Ending" in Context**

Okay, the target is "end," and the surface form is "ending." The context is "starting and ending" regarding the bells' movement. My initial thought is that "ending" describes the completion of a movement. Now, let's nail down this part of speech: is it transitive or intransitive? Ah, it's intransitive here: "the bells starting and ending..." This means the bells are *having* an end, rather than *causing* an end.

Time to consult the sense candidates. Let's see:
1.  end%2:42:00:: "have an end, in a temporal, spatial, or quantitative sense," fitting the bells' spatial end. Synonyms here include "stop, finish, terminate, cease." Seems plausible.
2.  end%2:30:01:: "bring to an end or halt." Definitely transitive. Nope.
3.  end%2:42:01:: "be the end of."  Transitive again. Not the one.
4.  end%2:36:13:: "put an end to." Also transitive. Not a fit.

Now, back to candidate 1. "The bells start and end (finish their movement/have their temporal/spatial end) in the inverted position." It's definitely intransitive! Remember the example: "the bronchioles terminate in a capillary bed." The bells are essentially *terminating* their swing *in* a specific position, just like those bronchioles. Candidate 1 is the clear winner: the bells are *having* an end, the end of their movement, in the inverted position. Sense 1 is the correct sense to choose.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Inverted" in Context**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the correct sense of "inverted" given the context of a swinging bell. The target lemma is "inverted", the surface form matches, so that's straightforward. The context is key: the bell swings a full 360 degrees and ends "inverted, or mouth-up".

Let's look at the senses. Sense 1, "inverted%5:00:00:turned:00", describes something being in a position where the top and bottom are reversed. That sounds promising. The bell is, indeed, upside-down, “mouth-up."

Then there's Sense 2, "inverted%3:00:04::", which refers to a completely inverted plant ovule. Doesn’t seem to relate to a swinging bell, so that's clearly out of consideration.

Therefore, given the context, Sense 1 is the only logical fit. It's the only one that makes any semantic sense. We have a clear winner.

**Analyzing "Position" in Context**

Okay, the target is "position," spelled the same way, and the context is that crazy belfry with bells doing full 360-degree swings. The key phrase is "inverted, or mouth-up position." My initial thought is this is about *how* something is arranged or oriented in space, that's my instinct.

Let's review the senses. Sense 1 is about the "particular portion of space occupied," essentially the location. Sense 4 describes "the arrangement of the body and its limbs." Sense 7 hits the bullseye: "the spatial property of a place where or way in which something is situated," which includes the synonym "spatial relation." That's the one! It's about orientation, like the hands on a clock, fitting perfectly with "mouth-up position." And finally, sense 11, referring to condition or the position you find yourself, doesn't seem relevant.

Now, just to be absolutely sure, let's contrast Sense 7 and Sense 1 again. The context emphasizes how the bell is oriented in space - inverted or mouth up. Sense 1 is more about its location. The phrase is clearly about the orientation, not the location. So, Sense 7 is definitely the correct sense here. Got it.

**Thursday Night Bell Practice - A Quick Mental Exercise**

Alright, let's see, we're talking about Thursday night and the church bells, so the focus is definitely on bell-ringing. The word that's got my attention is "ringers." Now, my initial thought is, of course, the obvious – the *person* who's skillfully maneuvering those ropes to get those huge bronze bells to sing, the seasoned bell-ringer. That's sense number one, and it's practically screaming out in this context.

I briefly considered the other senses: a duplicate, that's not quite relevant here. Then a contestant under false pretenses? Nope, not finding that connection either. And lastly, I mentally glanced over the meaning tied to horseshoes – a far throw from our scenario. So, yes, the skilled bell-ringer is the best and most appropriate answer. We're talking about people *ringing* bells, so it's a very straightforward choice.

**Analyzing the "Use" Sense in Context**

Okay, so the lemma is "use," and the surface form is, well, "use." The sentence is about ringers and their wrists, specifically, "Skilled ringers use their wrists to advance or retard the next swing..." Right, let's look at the candidate senses. We have:

1.  "Put into service; make work or employ for a particular purpose." (Utilize, apply, employ). This looks promising.
2.  "Take or consume" - habituate. Hmmm, not fitting at all.
3.  "Use up, consume fully." Nah, again, irrelevant.
4.  "Seek or achieve an end by using to one's advantage." This is more about manipulation; not likely.
5.  "Avail oneself to" (practice, apply) - potentially, but not as direct as the first sense.
6.  "Habitually do something." Another possibility that isn't as precise.

Thinking about it, the core idea is that the ringers are *employing* or *utilizing* their wrists to achieve something. They are putting their wrists into service for a particular purpose: controlling the swing. Sense 1, "put into service," is absolutely the best fit. I'm going to quickly dismiss the rest. They are completely off the mark. Sense 1 is the most straightforward, accurate interpretation.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Retard" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "retard," and the context is about bell ringing. "Skilled ringers use their wrists to advance or retard the next swing..." Right, so it's not the colloquial meaning. They're definitely manipulating the *timing* of the swing. The text uses "advance or retard" – that's the key. Advance is to speed up, and retard is to slow down or delay.

I need to nail down the specific sense here. Is it "cause to move more slowly," "be delayed," "slow growth," or "lose velocity"? It's transitive here: "retard the next swing." So, senses two, three and four are likely out, being intransitive or a different context.

"Retard the next swing" – they're *causing* the swing to slow or delay. "Advance or retard a spark" in engine timing... that's similar – earlier or later. It's a precise adjustment, an intervention.

Okay, let me check the sense definitions more closely. "retard%2:30:01:: cause to move more slowly or operate at a slower rate." Yes, that fits. They're *causing* the swing to slow down. That's transitive, which matches the sentence.

The example "This drug will retard your heart rate" helps too. It's directly analogous to "retard the next swing." Sense 4, which is intransitive, is like "The car decelerated". Sense 3 is about development – a child's language. Sense 2 is "be delayed".

So, sense 1, "cause to move more slowly or operate at a slower rate," is definitely the correct interpretation here. It's a direct action on the swing's timing.

**Analyzing "Swing" in the Context of Church Bells**

Alright, let's break this down. The lemma, the word we're focusing on, is "swing," and the surface form is, unsurprisingly, also "swing." The context is about church bells and the act of ringing them. Now, I need to pinpoint the specific meaning of "swing" here. It's clear that skilled ringers are manipulating this "swing" to change the order of the bells in a change. So, we're talking about motion, about something moving back and forth.

Looking at the candidate senses, I have a few that jump out: a state of vigorous action, a mechanical device, a sweeping blow, changing location by moving back and forth (synonyms: swinging, vacillation), and several that are clearly irrelevant like jazz, rhythm in music, a golf stroke, a baseball swing, and a square dance figure. Those are easy to discard.

The key is this: the bells are described as "swinging madly through a full 360 degrees," and ringers are "advancing or retarding the next swing." That screams **sense 4**, "changing location by moving back and forth." It's the physical act of the bell's movement that's being referenced. The ringers are controlling *that* movement to achieve the desired musical pattern. This is a pretty straightforward disambiguation. Sense 4 is the clear winner.

**Analyzing the Use of "So" in Context**

Okay, the lemma is "so," and the surface form is, of course, "so." The context is "Skilled ringers use their wrists to advance or retard the next swing, so that one bell can swap places with another in the following change." Immediately, I recognize "so that" and its common function – expressing purpose or facilitation. Now to the senses…

I'm rapidly scanning the candidate senses: *to a great extent*, *facilitation*, *condition/manner*, *unspecified extent*, *same way*, *as indicated*, *degree/extent*, *subsequently*, *logical conclusion*, and *in truth*.

My intuition is leaning toward sense 2, "in a manner that facilitates," but I need to be precise. The examples of *facilitation* are a little different, like, "he observed the snakes so he could describe their behavior." This usage fits the context "so that one bell can swap places". This use of "so" is more like *so he could pick up his hat* than *to a very great extent*. The structure "do X, so that Y can happen" is definitely expressing purpose here.

I'm quickly dismissing extent/degree (sense 7) as we don't have "so + adj/adv + that." And it's not a logical conclusion either (sense 9), not a "therefore" situation. The context is definitely "do X, so that Y can happen" which is "in a manner that facilitates Y." I'm confident sense 2 is the best fit. Let me just check the sense key: *so%4:02:06::* definition is "in a manner that facilitates." Yup, that's the one!

**My Analysis of "Bell" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "bell" within the phrase "so that one bell can swap places with another in the following change." Immediately, I'm keyed into the context: we're talking about bell ringers, ringing chambers, and huge bronze bells swinging in a belfry. This practically screams "the physical object" at me. My mind immediately conjures the image of that quintessential hollow metal device designed to produce a ringing sound when struck. It's not abstract; it's a tangible thing.

Now, let's look at the options and systematically eliminate the red herrings. A "doorbell" (2) is clearly irrelevant here. The sound itself (3) is a consequence of the bell, not the bell itself. "Nautical time" (4) – no, we’re not talking about watches or ships. "Shape" (5) is too broad and doesn't capture the function. "Chime" (9) is close, but that’s a set of tuned bells. We're interested in the single bell that the phrase implies. Finally, "flared opening" (10) doesn't work.

Therefore, the only option that directly aligns with the context and the established meaning of "bell" in this setting is the first one, "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck" (1). And just to confirm, the correct sense key provided "bell%1:06:00::" also supports this answer. The correct sense is definitely 1.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Swap" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with here is "swap." Let's break down the sentence: "Skilled ringers use their wrists to advance or retard the next swing, so that one bell can swap places with another in the following change." Immediately, it's clear this isn't about computer memory allocation. No, the context screams "exchange." We're talking about bells literally changing positions.

Now, let's look at the candidate senses. Sense 1, "exchange or give (something) in exchange for," that's the money shot. The synonyms listed – "trade," "swop," "switch" – all reinforce this notion of a positional change. One bell is effectively *trading* places with another, or *switching* positions. This fits the description flawlessly. Sense 2, "move (a piece of a program) into memory," is a complete non-starter given the ringing bells scenario. It's not even a remote possibility. Therefore, I confidently identify Sense 1 as the correct interpretation within this specific context.

**Deconstructing "Swap Places" in the Context of Change Ringing**

Alright, let's break this down. We're talking about bell ringers and how one bell "swaps places" with another. My initial thought is that "places" refers to the *sequence* of ringing, but let's be sure. "Swap places" implies an exchange of position, so let's check the senses.

Sense 5, dealing with "the post or function properly occupied," seems off. We're not talking about a replacement, more of a reshuffling. Sense 9, "the particular portion of space occupied," has me second guessing, but hold on, the bells physically swing, but the mathematical sequence is key. In change ringing, a "change" is a permutation; it's the sequence that changes, not the physical location of the bell in the belfry.

Wait, Sense 15 - "an item on a list or in a sequence" - that's it! It describes how a bell moves from one position to another in the ringing sequence, which is exactly what we have here. This is why "moved from third to fifth position" is so apt for our use-case of bell ringing.

The idiom "swap places" perfectly describes a switch in position. So, it's not about a person taking the post of another (Sense 5), nor the physical space (Sense 9). Change ringing is about mathematical sequence and mechanical precision.

I'm solidifying Sense 15 as the best fit. I'm imagining a bell moving from first to second in the sequence of ringing, it really hits the mark.

Alright, let's do a quick sweep: Sense 5 is not accurate, because it's about replacements, and Sense 9 is not accurate, the sequence not the physical space matters.

So, I'm going with Sense 15. The example of "moved from third to fifth position" is an exact match for how a bell's position changes within a change. It's spot on.

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.

Totally absorbed, the ringers stare straight ahead, using peripheral vision (they call it "rope-sight ") to watch the other ropes and thus time their pulls.

**Deconstructing "Well-Known" in a Literary Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target phrase is "well-known," specifically within the context of that Sayers detective story, the one with the bells. My initial thought is to consider the possible senses of "well-known" – are we talking about something universally recognized, or something intimately familiar?

Considering the definitions, sense 1 is the obvious fit. We're talking about a "well-known detective story," which, in this case, refers to its fame and widespread recognition among readers of detective fiction. It's not about being *intimately* known, like a familiar face. It's about being famous.

So, the intended meaning here is that the detective story is famous or widely known. "The Nine Tailors" falls under that category. And that's what we mean when we use it in this sentence. Case closed.
