**Analyzing the Usage of "Today"**

Okay, so the word "today" is the key here, specifically in that bellringing survey sentence. My initial thought is to quickly parse the possible senses of "today." We're looking at "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring."

Immediately, I have two senses in my head. Sense one is the broad, encompassing "present time or age" – that's "the world of today," that sort of thing. Then there's Sense two: the more specific "the day that includes the present moment," like "Today is beautiful" or the content found in "today's newspaper".

Given the phrase "in England today," the context leans heavily toward Sense one. It doesn't mean "in England on *this specific day*," but rather "in England *in the current era*." That indicates the number of bellringers who are currently active. That means the first sense, the general sense of "present time" is the correct interpretation here. It's a question of granularity, and in this context, the broader term is the correct one.

**Analyzing "Only" in Context**

Okay, so the target lemma is "only," and the surface form is, well, "only." The context is "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, *only* 40,000 of them still ring." My goal is to determine the correct sense of "only" in this sentence.

Let's look at the candidate senses: I see a few options, and I need to hone in on the precise meaning.

I have:

1.  "and nothing more" (synonyms: merely, simply, just, but) – this implies a restriction on quantity or extent.
2.  "without any others being included or involved" (synonyms: entirely, exclusively, solely, alone) – this suggests exclusivity.
3.  "with nevertheless the final result"
4.  "in the final outcome"
5.  "except that"
6.  "never except when"
7.  "as recently as"

Considering "only 40,000" in this context, it clearly means "just 40,000, and no more." I can easily substitute "just" for "only" here, and the meaning remains intact. The other senses seem less applicable.

Sense 1, "and nothing more," seems like a perfect fit. The synonyms listed – merely, simply, just, but – all support this interpretation. For example, "just 40,000 of them still ring." This sounds correct. Let me check this.
Sense 2, "entirely, exclusively," just doesn't align with the context, I will discard this from my thinking.

Therefore, after a quick analysis, I'm confident that Sense 1 is the intended meaning here.

**Analyzing the Word "Still"**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the exact meaning of "still" in that sentence: "...only 40,000 of them still ring." My initial thought process is to quickly run through the possible senses. We've got: 1) continuity or lack of change, 2) despite something, a concession, 3) degree or comparison, and 4) physical stillness.

Now, let's apply those senses to the sentence. "Still" here *has* to relate to the action of the bells ringing. "Only 40,000 of them *continue* to ring" feels right. That immediately points me to sense 1: the action or condition continues without change. It's a clear fit.

Senses 2, 3, and 4 don't make sense in this context, so I can eliminate those options immediately. Sense 2 (concession) and Sense 3 (comparison) don't align with the meaning here and sense 4 (physical stillness) is an obvious mismatch.

Therefore, I'm confident that the correct sense of "still" is indeed sense 1. It signifies that the ringing action is ongoing, uninterrupted, and not ceased.

**Analyzing the Context of "Ringers"**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with is "ringer," specifically the plural form "ringers." The surrounding text immediately focuses my attention on the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers and their efforts to build better relationships with vicars. The discussion revolves around bell ringing, and a key point is the scarcity of "ringers." The sentence that contains the target word is: "Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches."

Now, let's consider the possible senses. There are four candidate senses presented: a person who rings church bells, someone nearly identical to another, a contestant entered under false pretenses, and a successful horseshoe or quoit throw.

Given the context of church bells, a lack of bell ringers and the Council's objectives, sense 1, "a person who rings church bells," is an unambiguous, perfect fit. The sentence is literally about people who operate church bells. The other senses are completely irrelevant here. This is a very straightforward disambiguation.

**Analyzing the "Always" Lemma in Context**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the correct sense of "always" in this sentence: "Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches." The surface form is straightforward, "always". My immediate thought is that "not always live" indicates that it's *not* true across *every* instance or case. The meaning hinges on the relationship of truth to instances.

Let's review the candidate senses: (1) "at all times, every occasion," (2) "without variation or change, in every case," (3) "without interruption," (4) "at any time or in any event," and (5) "forever."

The phrase "not always live" is definitely about instances of ringers living where bells are. If I substitute "invariably," the sentence still makes sense: "ringers do not invariably live..." Sense 2, "without variation or change, in every case," fits like a glove. It speaks directly to the cases of ringers, not to a duration of time.

Sense 1, while tempting, focuses on temporal occasions. This isn't about time; it's about whether ringers, across different situations, live where the bells are. I'm focusing on "not in every case" which indicates instances or cases.

Now, wait a moment. Let's re-examine the definitions, specifically noting the example sentences. WordNet's examples are a bit confusing, because both sense 1 and 2 seem to have the example "always arrives on time." Weird. "He always arrives on time" actually fits both senses, but "always arrives on time" as a stand alone example is more ambiguous.

But, back to the core. Sense 2, "without variation or change, in every case," nails it. "Not always live where..." perfectly translates to "not in every case."

Let me confirm. "Ringers do not always live..." What's the best fit: Sense 1 or 2? Let's clarify: I'm focusing on "always" meaning "in every case." Sense 2 offers "invariably," "constantly." The "not always" collocation should inform us. If I say, "Rich people are not always happy," it clearly means "not in every case."

Therefore, Sense 2, "without variation or change, in every case," is the winner. The sentence is saying that there isn't a *constant* rule about ringers' residences relative to the bells they ring. This is the correct choice.

**Analyzing the Sense of "Live"**

Okay, the target word is "live," and the context is about bell ringers. My task is to determine the correct sense of "live" in this sentence: "...ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung..." Let's see... I've got a list of possible senses: inhabit, lead a life, survive, support oneself, be alive, have firsthand knowledge, and pursue a satisfying existence.

Considering the context, "dwell or inhabit" – Sense 1 – is the clear winner here. "Ringers do not always *dwell* or *inhabit* where the bells are rung" makes perfect sense. The other senses just don't fit; for instance, it's unlikely to mean "lead a certain kind of life" or "support oneself" in this particular context. It's not about surviving or being alive, nor is it about having knowledge or pursuing a good existence, or something similar.

Sense 1, "inhabit or live in; be an inhabitant of," with the index of 1, is definitively the most appropriate meaning here. This is a straightforward case.

**My Analysis of "Bells" in the Church Bell Ringing Context**

Okay, so we're talking about church bell ringers, and the fact that they don't always live near the churches where they ring. The key word is "bells," and my task is to pinpoint exactly what that refers to here. Clearly, we're not dealing with abstract concepts.

Let's look at the candidates. Candidate 1, "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck," hits the nail right on the head. That's *exactly* what a church bell is – the physical object itself, the thing the ringers are working with.

I can immediately dismiss Candidate 3, "the sound of a bell being struck." The text focuses on the *object* the ringers interact with, not just the resulting sound.

Candidate 9, "a percussion instrument..." is interesting, but too general and more likely to refer to orchestral bells. This isn't the kind of "bell" we're dealing with.

Therefore, after this evaluation, I can confidently select sense index 1, identifying that "bells" refers to the physical ringing objects in the church.

**Analyzing the Semantic Role of "Need" in "Bells Need to Be Rung"**

Okay, so the target word is "need" in that specific phrase, "live where the bells need to be rung." My initial thought is to figure out which sense of "need" is at play here. Let's look at the candidate senses: Sense 1 is about requiring something as useful or proper, almost like "necessitate." Sense 2, on the other hand, is about *having* need of something, the same as "want" or "require." Sense 3 is more about feeling a need.

"Bells need to be rung." Is this Sense 1 (necessity) or Sense 2 (wanting, requiring)?

My initial gut feeling is that "bells need to be rung" is similar to the piano needing the attention of a competent tuner. The bells *require* ringing. If we substitute a verb, it would mean the piano *wants* or *requires* the attention of a tuner. Sense 1 doesn't seem to fit as well with the piano example; it works better with examples like hard work *is* required for success.

Okay, let's consult WordNet for confirmation. Looking at "need," I see that "need%2:34:00" corresponds to "want, need, require (have need of)." "Need%2:42:00" involves "necessitate, ask, postulate, require, take, involve (require as useful, just, or proper)."

In "bells need to be rung," "need" appears to act as an auxiliary, similar to the main verb in the piano example. Now wait! "Want" in sense 2 takes an object or an infinitive phrase, so it could be "The piano wants the attention of a tuner." Or "the piano needs to be tuned." Sense 1 usually takes a nominal or a clause, but wait, it could also take the infinitive construction? It gets more complex.

I know I've seen "need to be done" mapping to "need%2:34:00." The subject in that case is the patient, the thing *being* acted upon. "The piano wants the attention of a competent tuner". "The bells need to be rung." It's similar to "The car needs washing," which can also be "The car needs to be washed."

That points definitively towards sense 2, where "have need of" means "want, require."

Considering the construction and the subject ("the bells"), the action is being done to them. "Bells need to be rung" fits better with the idea that the bells are *requiring* the action of ringing. Sense 1 doesn't fit quite as well; it's more about the necessity of something for a purpose, like "success requires hard work."

Let me check one more thing. Is "need to" listed separately? No, it's not.

Let's review the examples. It looks like:
Sense 2: "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner" => This piano needs to be tuned. "The bells need to be rung."
Sense 1: "It takes nerve to do what she did" => Nerve is required. "Success usually requires hard work."

It feels clear that the target sense is 2. The bells *require* to be rung, or that they have the need to be rung.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Rung" in Context**

Okay, so the task is to disambiguate "rung" given the lemma "ring" and the surface form "rung." The context is about bell-ringers and churches, specifically: "...bells need to be rung..." My first observation is that this is a passive construction – the bells are the subject of "be rung," implying an agent, the ringers, is the one causing the action.

Now, let's look at the candidate senses. Candidate 1, "sound loudly and sonorously," seems like it would be intransitive. This doesn't quite fit. Candidate 3 is: "make (bells) ring, often for the purposes of musical edification." Synonyms=knell; examples: "Ring the bells"; "My uncle rings every Sunday at the local church." That feels right. It's the transitive, causative use.

The key is that "...bells need to be rung" really means "ringers need to ring the bells." Sense 3's gloss, "make (bells) ring," directly aligns with the contextual meaning. I can confidently say that sense 3 is the correct meaning here. This is the transitive, causative use of "ring" in relation to bells and bell-ringers.

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

Okay, so the context is parishes, both rural and inner-city. The word I need to define is "small". My initial thought is it refers to the size or number of people within these parishes. Let's look at the candidate senses in WordNet.

I see three potential senses:
1.  Limited in number, quantity, or magnitude (like "a little house")
2.  Limited in size or scope (like "a small business")
3.  Low in station or quality (like "humble")

Sense 1 seems the most immediately relevant. "Small parishes" likely relates to the population or geographical extent of the parish. A parish *is* a geographical area or community. Is it physical size or extent? The example of "a little house" in sense 1 seems fitting. "Small town" is a common phrase that is similar here.

"Small, rural parishes"... this evokes a "small town" feel. Sense 1 ("a little house") feels right, and it's the core adjective for physical size or quantity. However, sense 2, as in "small business", might apply, as a parish can be thought of as an organization. But rural parishes suggest a *place*.

Thinking about it more, "small town" is a direct analogue. WordNet doesn't have a specific sense tagged for "town" itself. So, reviewing senses 1 and 2 again:

*   Sense 1: limited or below average in number, quantity, or extent, the opposite of large.
*   Sense 2: limited in size or scope, minor, small-scale.

I'm leaning towards sense 1, as that is the primary one, in terms of size (population/geography). "Small" used in this sense is contrasted with "large" or "big", which I think fits better here. Yes, "small" in "small parishes" is like "small town" and uses sense 1: `small%3:00:00::`.

So, I will output sense 1.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Council"**

Okay, so I'm presented with the word "council" in this text, and I need to determine its specific meaning in this context. The situation involves a program for bellringers and a booklet being published, with Mr. Baldwin speaking on its behalf. The phrase "Central Council of Church Bell Ringers" is also present, which offers a clue.

First, I need to consider the candidate senses. I've got three options: a general administrative body (like a student council), a religious assembly (like a church council), or simply a meeting.

Given the context – a program, a booklet, and someone *speaking* for this "council" – it's clear this is an organization of some kind. This rules out a mere "meeting" and also suggests it isn't specifically an ecumenical religious council, as those are usually specifically named and organized by the church. The existence of a program and publications indicates an administrative function.

Therefore, the first sense – "a body serving in an administrative capacity" – seems the most appropriate. I'm verifying this by recalling the standard synset, which aligns with common usage of "council" to denote organizations like city councils, student councils, or art councils. This fits perfectly: an administrative body overseeing a program related to bellringing. This has to be the most accurate interpretation.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Program" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma is "program," and the surface form is, of course, "program." The context is about a council's program to attract and train ringers. Right off the bat, I have a few candidate senses in mind, including the standard senses for a plan, a system of services, a TV show, a political platform, etc. Given the phrase "to attract and train ringers," I'm immediately leaning towards senses related to a plan or initiative.

Let's dive in. Sense 1 is defined as a "series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished," essentially a plan. Sense 2 is a "system of projects or services to meet a public need." My initial thought is that the council has a *plan* to attract and train ringers, which sounds more like Sense 1. But, could it be interpreted as a system of projects or services? It's the phrase "program *to attract and train ringers*" that's key. This strongly suggests an organized, intentional initiative.

Thinking about it more precisely, Sense 1 includes "goals to be accomplished," and that's precisely what's implied here – attracting and training ringers. The phrase itself is akin to a "plan to attract and train ringers," which is a clear indication.

I'm thinking this is related to an initiative by a group to achieve a goal. This seems to clearly correspond to Sense 1, program%1:09:00::.

Okay, let me confirm. "Program to attract and train ringers" directly translates to "plan to attract and train ringers." "Plan" fits perfectly as a synonym here.

Therefore, after considering all candidates, I'm confident that Sense 1 is the best fit.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Attract" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "attract," and the surface form is, of course, "attract." I've got the context: "...But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin." Right away, I see this is about a program trying to get people involved.

Now, the sense inventory... Let's see, we've got three options. First, *attract%2:35:00* which is basically drawing something in using some kind of power, like an ad pulling in customers. The second, *attract%2:37:00*, is just "be attractive to," like the idea of a vacation appeals to someone. And the third, *attract%2:35:01*, is the physics sense, exerting a force.

Considering the context of the council's *program to attract and train ringers*, I can discard that physics sense immediately. It's about getting people to *become* ringers. My gut says this is about recruiting, drawing them in, right?

So, it's between senses one and two. Let's compare them. "The council's program to attract and train ringers" means "to pull in/draw in ringers." This feels like the first sense, like how "The ad pulled in many potential customers." I can see that clearly matching the program's goal. Sense two, "be attractive to," is less precise, though it could be related. Sense one seems like the better fit here because of that active drawing or recruitment element. Yes, Sense 1 it is!

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Train" in the Context of Bell Ringing**

Okay, so the target is "train" within the phrase "attract and train ringers." My first thought is to break down the possible meanings of "train." Let's see... I've got a few options here, starting with, and I'm really trying to make the right choice here, "create by training and teaching," which is really about development, preparation, and education. That seems promising, like the old master training violinists. Then there's "undergo training," "develop behavior," "educate for a future role," "teach or refine taste," "aim," "coach (sports)," and "exercise." That's a lot to consider.

Right, "attract and train ringers." This clarifies things. I need to distinguish between options, specifically, "create by training and teaching" and "educate for a future role or function". The first is about *creating* the practitioners, the second about preparing them for a *specific* future role. It seems clear to me that what we want is to create ringers. In WordNet, teaching a skill to make someone a practitioner *usually* falls under the "create by training and teaching" sense. So, this "council's program to attract and train ringers" means they are *creating* bell ringers through teaching. It's like the example of the old master training world-class violinists. That's a good comparison.

Okay, let's just make sure. Are there *any* other possibilities? Sense 7... Teach and supervise, like a sports coach. That's worth considering. But let's look closely at that first sense, "create by training and teaching." That fits the bill perfectly for "training ringers" – they're attracting people and creating bell ringers through instruction. It is the best fit of all of them.

Okay, "attract and train ringers". They attract them, and then they make them bell ringers. Sense 1 is the winner.

Okay, so the target is "ringer," specifically the plural "ringers," and the context screams "bell ringing." Let's see... I've got a few senses to consider. There's the obvious "person who rings church bells" – that's ringer%1:18:02:: – seems like a slam dunk candidate right off the bat. Then there's "dead ringer" (ringer%1:18:01::), which is a complete non-starter here.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Only"**

Okay, so the target word is "only" in that sentence: "But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin." My initial thought is that "only" here is modifying "partly successful". It's indicating a limitation, a degree of success that's *not* complete. It suggests that the program isn't *fully* successful, it's *merely* successful to a certain extent.

Let's quickly run through the possible senses. Sense 1, "and nothing more" (synonyms include "merely," "simply," "just"), immediately jumps out. It feels like this is the one. "Is merely partly successful" or "is just partly successful" seems to fit the context perfectly. Sense 2, "without any others being included or involved" doesn't work – the success isn't exclusive. The other senses are off-track too, they don't seem applicable here.

To confirm my initial instinct, "only partly successful" clearly means the program achieves success to a limited degree, and nothing more. It's not *fully* successful; the success is *partial*. So, yep, sense 1 is definitely the correct interpretation. The word "only" acts as a modifier, narrowing the scope of the success.

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

Okay, so the target is "say," specifically the form "says," and the context is "But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin." My initial thought is that this is a straightforward instance of expressing something in words. Mr. Baldwin is clearly *stating* something, but I need to be sure.

Let's look at the candidate senses: expressing in words (sense 1) or reporting/maintaining (sense 2). Sense 1 seems like the obvious default, but let's not jump to conclusions. Quotation contexts tend to lean towards "state, tell" or "utter aloud." Okay, in this sentence, "...says Mr. Baldwin," it is a reporting situation.

WordNet distinguishes between `say%2:32:00::` ("express in words") and `say%2:32:01::` ("report or maintain"). We're in journalism here. Let's compare the examples and synonyms more closely. Sense 1 gives us synonyms like "state" and "tell," which makes perfect sense. The examples show "He said that he wanted to marry her." Sense 2, with synonyms "allege" and "aver," feels wrong here. Their examples seem more suited to statements which have an attached claim, such as "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime."

Now, back to the sentence. "..., says Mr. Baldwin." He is *stating* it, not "averring" or "alleging" anything. Now let's just make sure.

Let's quickly check the synonyms for Sense 1: state, tell. A quick look at SemCor guidelines should help; "say" used to report speech in a journalistic context is almost always sense 1.

Verifying, "But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, states Mr. Baldwin." *States* fits perfectly. Is he averring or alleging? Nope. He's just stating a fact or opinion, and so I am confident that Sense 1 ("express in words") is the correct one here.

**Analyzing the "Right" in "Right Now"**

Okay, the target is "right," surface form "Right," and the context is "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10." My initial thought is that "right" modifies "now," probably meaning "precisely," "exactly," or "immediately." "Right now" usually means *exactly* now, but let's check the candidate senses to be sure.

My candidates are: "precisely, exactly," "immediately," "exactly," and "completely".

Given that, in the idiom "right now," it functions as an intensifier for "now." It's "precisely now" or "exactly now." Wait, could it mean "immediately" too?

WordNet defines "right now" as an idiom. When the words are separated, "right" is usually right%4:02:04:: (precisely, exactly), like in "stand right here!" which sounds like it fits. I should verify if there is a specific idiom annotation for "right now."

Okay, so "right now" = exactly now. Sense 1: precisely, exactly, e.g., "stand right here!" is a good match. Sense 2: immediately e.g., "she called right after dinner."

Thinking through it again, "right now" means "at this precise moment," corresponding to "precisely, exactly" (Sense 1). Let me consider "right now" = exactly at this time.

In SemCor, "right now" is usually tagged as right%4:02:04:: (precisely, exactly). Is it right%4:02:08::?

Hmm. Right%4:02:04:: also has examples with a spatial component. Does the temporal sense mean exactness? Yes, it seems so.

Now, let's compare Sense 1 versus Sense 2. Sense 1 is "precisely, exactly" (e.g., "right here, right now, right in the middle"). Sense 2 is "immediately" (e.g., "right after dinner, I'll do it right away").

So, given the sentence, "Right now, we're lucky if..." the meaning is "at this exact moment," which means precisely, exactly. That confirms Sense 1.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Now" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "now," and the surface form is, well, "now." The sentence is "Right <t>now</t>, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10, "he adds. My initial thought is to identify the expression "Right now" as the key. Let's look at the candidate senses: the historical present, nowadays/today, as a preface to a command, at the present moment, without delay, prefatory or transitional, and the immediate past.

Considering "Right now, we're lucky if...", my immediate inclination is that it means "at present." So, sense 4 – "at the present moment" – seems like a good fit. But wait, sense 2, "in these times," also seems close. "Right now" generally leans towards "at present" (Sense 4), not the more general "nowadays" of Sense 2. Sense 5 ("immediately") doesn't quite work.

The critical contextual clue is the continuation: "we're lucky if after five years..." This refers to the current situation. "Right now" seems to emphasize the very present moment. Let's differentiate between Sense 2 and Sense 4: Sense 2 ("nowadays") is broader. The nuance of "Right now" clearly indicates current time and "at present" is a better fit.

So, comparing Sense 2 ("nowadays") and Sense 4 ("at the present moment"), I can see that "Right now" strongly implies "at present" or "currently." The context "Right now, we're lucky if after five years..." clearly fits "at the present moment". The word "Right" is also an intensifier, emphasizing "at this very moment." This confirms that I'm leaning heavily towards Sense 4.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Lucky"**

Okay, so the target is "lucky" in this sentence: "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10." My initial thought is to consider the possible senses of "lucky." I've got three contenders: something occurring by chance, having or bringing good fortune, or something that is presaging good luck.

Let's drill down. In this context, "we're lucky if..." strongly suggests we are *fortunate*. The "if" implies a degree of luck in the outcome. That points me toward sense 2: *having or bringing good fortune.* The example "my lucky day; a lucky man" is helpful. "We" are the subjects of being lucky, so it's our fortune we're discussing.

Now, let's play devil's advocate and discard the other options. Does "we're lucky if..." mean "we're *occurring* by chance?" No, that doesn't make any sense. We are *experiencing* good fortune. We can't be "occurring" by chance. That leaves sense 2 as the best fit.

To be extra certain, I should check WordNet for its definition. Ah, yes, "lucky%3:00:00::" *having or bringing good fortune* (a lucky man). Perfect! "We're lucky if..." clearly implies we are fortunate to retain even one new person out of ten. That confirms it. Sense 2 is the correct interpretation here.

**Analyzing the Context of "Years"**

Okay, so the target is "year," specifically the plural form "years" in this sentence: "...we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10..." My initial thought is to zero in on the core meaning of "years" in this context – it's clearly referring to a span of time, a duration. Now, I need to consider which sense of "year" is the best fit.

Let's look at the candidate senses. First, there's `year%1:28:01::`, which defines it as "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days." That's the most straightforward, typical understanding of a year, the period of time based on the Earth's orbit. Candidate 2, `year%1:28:02::` mentions "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year," which is related but feels a bit less direct for this example. Then there's `year%1:28:00::`, defining it as "the period of time that it takes for a planet...", which is definitely related to the concept of time but doesn't quite click with the way the sentence is used. Finally, `year%1:14:00::` refers to "a body of students who graduate together," which is completely unrelated to the given context.

Given that the context mentions "after five years," it's clear we're dealing with a duration of time. Therefore, `year%1:28:01::` is the clear winner; this is the intended sense of "year" here, the fundamental unit of time in this case.

**Deconstructing the Nuance of "New Ringer"**

Okay, so the context is: "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10." I'm diving into the meaning of "new ringer" here. Is it *just* newly recruited, or does it also imply inexperience? The phrase suggests an attraction and training program where many drop out, so I'm leaning toward the initial state, new recruits. But the word "new" can be tricky.

Candidate 3, the inexperienced definition, jumps out: "lacking training or experience." Synonyms like "raw" are spot on. And the example "the new men were eager to fight" seems to fit. WordNet supports the idea of "new" meaning inexperienced in this context.

However, let's step back. Could it be sense 1, "having just come into being"? No, not a good fit. And considering "we're lucky if we keep one new ringer," it's not simply new in the sense of 'newly acquired' and no more. A "new ringer" is a *new recruit*. Is that purely about recent recruitment, or does inexperience fit? The "council's program to attract and train ringers" supports the "inexperienced" element.

"New men" in WordNet actually has the sense key "new%5:00:00:inexperienced:00," now that's a good find! So, that reinforces it.

Thinking about the phrase "keep one new ringer," it seems to emphasize the "new" in the sense of *just started*. A freshly recruited person. The phrase is emphasizing the process, not just that they're new.

So, let's nail this down. The program is to attract *and train* new recruits. The phrase "we keep one new ringer out of 10" means that of 10 new recruits, we only keep 1. "New" in this context feels like "inexperienced," the raw recruit coming in. WordNet does distinguish between "new" (raw) and "new" (recent), and I think "raw" or "inexperienced" is the way to go here. I'm going with sense 3, "lacking training or experience."

**Analyzing "Ringer" in Context**

Okay, here's the breakdown. The lemma is "ringer," and the surface form is, of course, "ringer." The context immediately points to church bells in England – "100,000 trained bellringers," "church life," and the mention of "where the bells need to be rung" leave no room for ambiguity.

Let's look at the candidate senses. We have the bell-ringing sense (sense 1), the near-identical person (sense 2), the false contestant (sense 3), and the horseshoe/quoit throw (sense 4). Given this specific context of bellringing, the choice is utterly obvious. Sense 1, "a person who rings church bells (as for summoning the congregation)," is the only logical interpretation. The semantic fit is perfect, and there's no need to consider the other senses further. It's a textbook case of straightforward disambiguation.

**Analyzing the Context of "Adds"**

Okay, the target is "add," specifically the form "adds" in this sentence. The context is "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10, "he adds." This immediately triggers the meaning of *stating or saying something further*. It's that simple, right? Let's check the sense inventory just to be rigorous.

The gloss *exactly* aligns with my initial assessment: "state or say further" for add%2:32:01::, synonyms are append and supply. Great. Now, let's verify against the other senses to rule out any ambiguity. Let's make sure our indexes match correctly.

*   add%2:30:00:: - make an addition
*   add%2:32:01:: - state or say further
*   add%2:40:00:: - bestow a quality on
*   add%2:31:00:: - combine numbers
*   add%2:32:00:: - total, sum up
*   add%2:42:00:: - constitute an addition

Given the context – a quotation where "he" is *providing more information* – sense 2 is definitively the correct one. No need to look further.

**Analyzing the Nuance of "Bright"**

Okay, so the phrase is "One bright sign..." and we're dissecting the meaning of "bright" here. Clearly, it's not the literal sense, the photometric measurement, or even a description of striking visual color, which would be rather odd in this context, or, the more metaphorical, referring to something being intelligent, or polished, or, reverberant, or, happy. I'm immediately leaning away from those definitions. We're talking about a "sign," right? Something that indicates something else, something future-oriented.

Let's look at the remaining candidate senses. Well, "glorious" doesn't quite fit, and "not made dim" sounds too much like a negative definition, ruling out what is positive in "bright". This leaves me with promising, hopeful, or auspicious. Now, "auspicious" – that’s the key. That’s precisely what we're aiming for. It's a "bright sign" *because* it's full of promise, suggesting a hopeful future. That's the core of it. The context demands this "auspicious" reading; it's the most appropriate fit for communicating a "bright sign" and the hope it implies. Sense 10 is the clear winner here.
