**Analyzing the Semantic Landscape of "Problem"**

Okay, so I'm looking at how "problem" is used here, specifically in the context of "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers." My initial thought is to consider the different senses of "problem." There are a few possibilities: a question for solution, a state of difficulty, or a source of difficulty. In this instance, "lack of ringers" could be either a "state of difficulty" or a "source of difficulty."

I'm checking WordNet to clarify the definitions. Sense 2, "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved," and Sense 3, "a source of difficulty," seem the most relevant. The question is, is "lack of ringers" the *difficulty itself* or the *source of the difficulty*?

Let me review the examples provided for each sense. For Sense 2, it's like "having problems," something that requires action. Sense 3 includes examples like "one trouble after another," which feels more like a cause.

Okay, let's break this down. Is "lack of ringers" an abstract situation that needs resolution? Or is it the thing *causing* the situation? Well, "attacking the problem" to me implies that it's something to *resolve*, a "state of difficulty." It's not just a trouble-making factor; it's the *situation itself*.

Looking at the WordNet entries, I see "problem%1:26:00::" is "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved," while "problem%1:09:00::" is "a source of difficulty." "Lack of ringers" is a *lack*, a *state*. The hypernyms also help. "Difficulty" as a state is more appropriate here than as a factor causing trouble. That state clearly needs intervention.

So, if we consider "the problem of ...," it usually maps to problem%1:26:00::. Wait, now I think about "the greater problem" - it feels like a state of difficulty that requires intervention.

I need to re-read the definitions very carefully. Sense 2 describes "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" ("having problems") and Sense 3 describes "a source of difficulty" ("one trouble after another"). Is "lack of ringers" a source? Is "Mr. Baldwin attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers." addressing a *source* or the *state*?
The phrase "needs to be resolved" fits perfectly.

Again, "lack of ringers" is a *state*, not just something that's making things hard. It's the condition itself. My conclusion: it's Sense 2, problem%1:26:00::.

Finally, looking at similar examples in SemCor, the pattern is: "the problem is lack of..." most commonly refers to Sense 2, the societal or business-related "problem" needing a solution. Therefore, "attacking the greater problem" definitely points to resolving a state of difficulty (Sense 2). I'm confident in my choice now!

**Analyzing "Ringers" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "ringers," and the surrounding text mentions church bells and bell ringers. My expert intuition immediately leans towards the correct sense. Let's make sure, though. I'm going through the candidate senses: I'm seeing:

1.  a contestant entered under false pretenses
2.  someone almost identical to another person
3.  a person who rings church bells, like a toller or bell ringer.
4.  (horseshoe game) A successful throw where you circle the peg.

Now, clearly, sense number three is the perfect fit. The text is talking about a lack of *bell ringers* - that's it! It's all about people who ring church bells. No need to overthink this.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Survey"**

Okay, so the target word is "survey," and the context mentions statistics – "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers...". My initial thought is to consider the various senses. Let's see... we've got a "detailed critical inspection," a "short descriptive summary," and the "act of looking or observing." Given the data and statistics, a "short descriptive summary" seems immediately wrong, and the act of looking and observing seems less likely. The fact that the "survey" *says* something points me toward a study or detailed inspection, like a statistical survey. That definitely leans towards the "detailed critical inspection" sense.

Let me double-check WordNet for confirmation. Okay, so sense 1 matches - study, a detailed critical inspection. Sense 2 – short descriptive summary. Sense 3 - act of looking or observing, still not a good fit. Hmm, I recall another usage for survey - "an investigation of the opinions or experience of a group of people." Ah, the WordNet senses seem to incorporate statistical surveys into "study, a detailed critical inspection," like "a survey of the literature," or "a statistical survey." Another possible sense might be "an appraisal of the state of things." I will check WordNet 3.0.

Ah, yes. Back to the original context: the detailed inspection is the best fit: a study that produces 100,000 versus 40,000 statistics.

So, to be absolutely certain, I'll go with:
1: a detailed critical inspection (study)
2: a short descriptive summary
3: the act of looking or observing

Yep, sense 1 is definitely the closest match, especially considering it involves data, making it essentially an empirical study.

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

Okay, so the target is "says" when the lemma is "say." The specific instance is "One survey says that...". My initial thought is to consider the nuances of "say" when the subject is an inanimate entity, specifically a "survey." Does a survey "read," "indicate," or "state"? I need to carefully evaluate the candidate senses.

Let's quickly review the sense keys provided. I'm seeing definitions like "have a certain wording," "indicate," "state as an opinion," "express in words," and "report/maintain." In this context, "survey" is inanimate, so senses that describe human actions (like opinion or expression) are unlikely.

WordNet's "have or contain a certain wording or form," which uses examples like "What does the law say?" and "The passage reads as follows" really catches my attention. It seems like a close fit. Sense 6, "report or maintain" also merits consideration, but the synonyms "allege, aver" are more relevant for human statements. "Indicate" from sense 2 is a possibility, but feels less direct in this case.

I'm thinking about related examples like "The law says..." or "The text says...". These are usually mapped to something like "have or contain a wording" (sense 1) or perhaps "express in words" (sense 4). A survey is essentially a report, so the phrase "The report says..." seems like a key parallel.

Focusing back on WordNet, sense 1 ("have or contain a certain wording or form") really clicks. "What does the law say?" and "One survey says that..." are structurally very similar. Sense 4, "state," usually describes human speakers, so it feels less accurate. Sense 2, "indicate" ("The clock says...") is also not quite right, as a survey does not 'indicate' in the same way as a clock does.

I'll quickly confirm that this sense is typically used in similar examples in SemCor, looking at "the letter says," "the sign says," etc. Yes, these are usually mapped to that sense of "read."

So, a survey is a document or a dataset, and when it "says" something, it means the wording or the content of the document *contains* that information. Considering all the options, I'm confident that sense 1 ("have or contain a certain wording or form") is the most appropriate. I will proceed with this sense.

**Analyzing "Bellringers" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "bellringers," and I need to figure out the right sense here. The surrounding text gives me a clear direction. We're talking about "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers," "vicars," "church life," and the scarcity of them in "rural parishes and inner-city churches." This points directly to the religious/church context.

I have three possible senses to consider: a person who rings church bells, something that perfectly achieves a goal (more figurative), and someone who plays handbells. While the figurative sense is possible, given the surrounding words like "church" and "vicars," and the decline in numbers of "trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring," it's clear the context heavily favors the first sense: a person who rings church bells, specifically for summoning a congregation. The last option of handbell players is too narrow given the broader context provided. Thus, I'm confident that sense 1 is the best fit here.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Today"**

Okay, so I'm looking at the word "today" in this sentence about bellringers. My goal, as usual, is precision. The text gives me two potential senses for "today." The first sense, *today%1:28:00*, defines it as the present time or age – the "world of today," that sort of thing. The second, *today%1:28:01*, references the specific day we're currently experiencing. "Today is beautiful," like a specific 24-hour period.

Given the context – "…of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring" – the second sense, the specific day, doesn't quite fit. It doesn't make sense to specify what day the observation is valid; it is a general statement. The phrasing is meant to provide a general observation. Therefore, the first sense is the clear winner. We're talking about the "present time" as it relates to bellringing, not a single calendar day. That's the correct interpretation.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Only"**

Okay, the target is the word "only," and the surface form is, unsurprisingly, "only." The context provided is "...of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring." My task is to determine the correct sense of "only" in this sentence.

The candidate senses I'm considering are:

1.  *except that*
2.  *and nothing more* | *merely, simply, just, but*
3.  *never except when* | *only if, only when*
4.  *as recently as*
5.  *without any others being included or involved* | *entirely, exclusively, solely, alone*
6.  *in the final outcome*
7.  *with nevertheless the final result*

In this particular context, "only 40,000" clearly implies a small number, suggesting that it's "just 40,000" or "merely 40,000" and nothing more. The focus here is on the small quantity compared to the original number. So, sense 2, "and nothing more" and its synonyms (merely, simply, just, but), seems like the best fit.

To confirm this, I'll replace "only" with the relevant phrase: "of the 100,000 trained bellringers... just 40,000 of them still ring." That feels right.

Let's quickly check the other senses:

*   Sense 1, "except that," doesn't work (e.g., *only this time...*).
*   Sense 3, "only if," doesn't fit the context at all.
*   Sense 4, "as recently as," doesn't apply.
*   Sense 5, "entirely, exclusively," implies all or nothing.
*   Sense 6, "in the final outcome," doesn't apply here.
*   Sense 7, "arrived only to find...", doesn't fit this context.

Therefore, Sense 2 is the most appropriate and the best interpretation of "only" in this sentence. It correctly conveys the idea that the number is small or limited compared to the total.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Still"**

Okay, so the target lemma is "still," and the surface form is, unsurprisingly, also "still." Now, let's dive into the context: "...only 40,000 of them still ring." My initial thought is to quickly run through the likely senses. I've got:

1.  Physical stillness – think "stock-still." That's probably not it.
2.  Continuation, something going on without stopping – like "it's still warm outside." This feels promising.
3.  A contrast or concession, like "however" or "nevertheless." Doesn't seem to fit here.
4.  Degree or comparison – "even" or "yet." No, this isn't it.

Given the phrase, "only 40,000 of them *still* ring," I'm leaning heavily towards sense 2. It implies the ringing is ongoing, it continues. The examples for sense 2 – "it's still warm outside" or "will you still love me..." – highlight that continuation perfectly.

To be absolutely sure, let's eliminate the others. Sense 1 is clearly about physical immobility. Sense 3, a contrastive meaning, wouldn't work, and sense 4, a degree modifier, is out too. Therefore, with a high degree of confidence, sense 2 is the correct interpretation. This is a pretty straightforward disambiguation.

**Analyzing the Term "Ringers" in Context**

Okay, so the task at hand revolves around the word "ringers", and the surface form I'm dealing with is the plural. The surrounding text immediately points me toward the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers. Right away, this strongly suggests we're dealing with the literal act of ringing bells. The mention of a "lack of ringers," the location of "trained bellringers in England," and the fact that "ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung" solidifies this initial assessment.

My initial candidate senses include: horseshoes, a "dead ringer" or clone, someone who rings church bells, and someone entered under false pretenses (a ringer in a competition). Given the specific context surrounding "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers," options one, two and four can be discarded. Therefore, I can confidently select the third sense: "a person who rings church bells" (also referred to as a toller or bell ringer). The context and the intended definition neatly align with this specific meaning of "ringers." The task is straightforward, which is what I expect.

**Deconstructing "Always"**

Alright, the target here is "always" in the context of "Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung..." My first thought is to unpack what "always" means in this sentence, right? It seems to be saying that ringers *don't* live where the bells are rung *in every case*. My mind jumps to a few possibilities.

I initially considered a few candidates: "without variation or change, in every case," "at all times," "forever," "without interruption," and "at any time." I quickly realized the crucial aspect here is the phrase "do not always." It's not about *when* they live there (time) but *whether* they live there – the "it is not always the case that..." construction is key. So, "in every case" is definitely a good fit for "do not always live."

Candidate 1, "without variation or change, in every case," is my initial front-runner. The phrase "in every case" directly connects with "do not always live," and synonyms like "constantly" or "invariably" fit too: "Ringers do not invariably live..." makes perfect sense. I also noted that "at all times" feels temporal and less relevant here.

The phrase "in every case" is the perfect way to articulate the meaning of "do not always". So that's the one I'll select here.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Live"**

Okay, so the lemma I'm working with is "live," and the context is "ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung." My initial thought is that we're talking about residence, about where these ringers actually *dwell*. The sentence clearly implies a location, a physical place.

Let's quickly run through the senses and see what resonates. 1. "have firsthand knowledge..." - No, doesn't fit the context. 2. "continue to live through hardship..." - That's completely off-base. 3. "inhabit or live in; be an inhabitant of (populate, dwell, inhabit)" - Bingo. This is spot-on. "Live" here means to *inhabit*, to *dwell*, which aligns perfectly with the idea of ringers not always being residents of the church locations. 4. "pursue a positive and satisfying existence..." - Wrong direction. 5. "support oneself..." - Nope. 6. "have life, be alive..." - Doesn't make sense. 7. "lead a certain kind of life..." - Still doesn't match the meaning as much as the third option.

So, sense 3 it is. That's the most appropriate definition for "live" in this sentence, clarifying that the sentence discusses where the ringers reside. We've got a match.

**Analyzing "Bells" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "bells." Let's break this down systematically. The context given is about bellringers and where they live, or rather, *don't* always live in relation to churches. My expertise immediately tells me this is about church bells, a very specific application. The phrase "live where the bells need to be rung" is a dead giveaway.

Now, let's consider the possible senses. Sense 3, a "hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck," immediately clicks. That's the physical bell itself, the object the ringers interact with. Sense 10, the *sound* of the bell, is also a valid definition, but the context points towards the tangible object, the instrument. The wording "need to be rung," clearly applies to the physical bells in churches. Therefore, sense 3 is the only realistic interpretation.

**Analyzing the Verb "Need" in Context**

Okay, so the task is to determine the correct sense of "need" in the phrase "where the bells need to be rung." The target surface form is "need," and the target lemma is also "need." I'm looking at several potential senses provided, and the context suggests it is a crucial determination.

Initially, I see the passive construction "the bells need to be rung," and the active equivalent would be "someone needs to ring the bells." My first thought is to connect this with the sense where "need" is a modal-like or lexical verb indicating necessity or requirement. I considered Sense 2 ("have need of") and Sense 3 ("require as useful, just, or proper"), but Sense 1 ("have or feel a need for") seems less likely here since the bells aren't *feeling* a need.

I'm thinking about the object here: "bells". The phrase indicates the bells *require* something to be done to them, which immediately makes me lean towards Sense 2 ("have need of," which includes synonyms like "want" and "require"). Consider an example: "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner," or "This piano needs to be tuned." The wording is akin to "The bells need to be rung" or "The bells require ringing."

I explored Sense 3, "require as useful, just, or proper," but that seems more applicable when the subject is an action or condition, like "Success requires hard work," or "It takes nerve to do what she did." The subject here is "bells." Bells don't "necessitate" or "involve" ringing in the sense that an action necessitates a certain outcome.

The grammatical frame is crucial. It's "need" followed by a to-infinitive, which fits well with the "have need of" construction. I'm recalling from Semcor/WordNet that "need to do something" often aligns with either "have or feel a need for" or "have need of." In this case, since it's an inanimate object ("bells"), it usually points towards Sense 2.

I considered whether "need" is an auxiliary verb here, but it functions as a main verb with a passive infinitival complement. I'm focusing on "bells need to be rung" being equivalent to "the bells require ringing" or "the bells want ringing".

Going back to the WordNet definitions, it's clear:

*   **Sense 1:** "have or feel a need for" (typically for animate subjects).
*   **Sense 2:** "have need of" (synonyms include "want," "require") – this seems most fitting.
*   **Sense 3:** "require as useful, just, or proper" (often for actions or conditions).

So, in the context of "the bells need to be rung," the *bells* have a need for the action of ringing. Sense 2 (have need of) fits best. I'm confident in selecting Sense 2.

**Analyzing the Ambiguity of "Rung"**

Okay, so the target is "ring", surface form "rung". My experience tells me that this is probably a verb form, likely a past participle. The context is "Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches." Straight away, I'm thinking about the different senses of "ring". Let's run through them: extend on all sides, sound loudly, make a sound, echo, telephone, or attach a ring to something.

Given "the bells need to be rung," I'm immediately drawn towards the senses related to sound, specifically senses of *making* a sound. This is obviously passive; "rung" is clearly being used in a passive construction, suggesting someone *rings* the bells. I know from experience that "ring" is transitive in this context.

Now, let's focus on Sense 2, which is *sound loudly and sonorously* (intransitive), and Sense 3, which is *make (bells) ring* (transitive). I see that Sense 2, the intransitive version, has synonyms like "peal" and examples like "the bells rang," while Sense 3 is the transitive form with synonyms like "knell." Examples here include "Ring the bells".

In our sentence, "the bells need to be rung" is a passive construction of the form "someone rings the bells," where "bells" is the direct object in the active form. That strongly points to Sense 3, *make (bells) ring*. The passive construction is what we're keying on here.

So, the correct match is **Sense 3** with the sense key `ring%2:39:01::`, the definition is `make (bells) ring`.

**My Analysis of "Small" in Context**

Okay, so the lemma is "small," and it's used as "small" in the surface form. The context is “…ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches.” I need to figure out which sense of "small" applies to "rural parishes." It's modifying a spatial/demographic entity, implying a limitation in size, number, or extent.

Let's quickly run through the senses. Sense 1 (young) is out. Sense 2 (inferior) – no. Sense 3 (fine), Sense 4 (moderate), Sense 5 (soft), Sense 6 (slight or limited in degree), Sense 7 (decreased), and Sense 8 (lowercase) are all clearly irrelevant.

That brings us to Sense 9, "limited in size or scope," which gives examples like "small business." Okay, maybe? Then there's Sense 10: "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent." This seems promising, given that parishes are geographical areas and communities. It seems to fit the idea of "limited in number/quantity/extent" or "limited in size".

Now I need to differentiate between Sense 9 and 10. Sense 10 is the core adjective sense, the antonym of large, and describes physical size or magnitude. A "small parish" likely means a parish with a smaller population or a smaller geographical area.

I am re-examining Sense 9. It’s about scope – "small business," "modest circulation." A parish is either a community or an area. Does it have a small business kind of scope, or a small town/house kind of scope?

Actually, in "small town" or "small parish" the usage of "small" usually falls under that primary sense, Sense 10: "limited or below average in number or quantity...". I should check WordNet. Yep, for "small town," it uses the sense of small meaning limited in number or quantity.

I need to confirm whether "small town" is Sense 10, then I need to check "small parish." A parish is a community or area.

Let's go back to Sense 10: "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent". Synonyms: little. Examples: "a little dining room," "a little house." Bingo.

Wait, is there another possibility? Sense 9: "limited in size or scope". Examples: "a small business," "a newspaper with a modest circulation." Synonyms: minor, modest, small-scale.

A "small parish" could mean a small *number* of people...

Wait, there’s another option: Sense 10 is the central adjective sense for "small%3:00:00::". And it's POS tag 3 (adjective). That's the head sense of the cluster.

So, "small, rural parishes" clearly indicates a sense of below-average magnitude or extent. Then, taking "inner-city churches" into account, "small" is about the size of the congregation and church. This means "little" or limited in size/number/magnitude.

Sense 10 covers both physical size *and* number: "below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent." This perfectly encompasses a small parish, which would be below average in its number of parishioners or its geographical size (extent).

Therefore, Sense 10 is the definitive best fit.

**Analyzing the Lemma "Council" in Context**

Okay, here's the situation. The target word is "council", and the surface form is, well, also "council". No surprises there. The context points towards an organization of bell ringers, specifically referencing Mr. Baldwin and their ringer training program, which immediately flags the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers. The text states that their program isn't entirely successful.

Now, let's consider the possible meanings. I've got three main candidates: a straightforward meeting, perhaps for consultation; a religious assembly, like an ecclesiastical council; and a body serving in an administrative capacity.

The crucial clue is the "program to attract and train ringers." That's a strong indicator. It wouldn't make sense for a single meeting or an ecumenical gathering to have such a program. This points decisively towards the administrative body sense. It's a group *running* a program, not just *holding* a meeting.

Just to be absolutely certain, I'll quickly run through the definitions again. Meeting for consultation, religious assembly... and administrative body like a student council or a city council. Yes, the bell ringers' "council" is clearly functioning as an administrative body. It's an organization, a board, a committee – a council in the administrative sense. Sense 3 it is.

**Deconstructing the Council's "Program"**

Okay, so we're talking about a council's "program to attract and train ringers." My initial gut reaction is to assess what *kind* of program this is, to pin down the most accurate semantic sense. Let's see: announcement of events, radio/TV, political platform, academic course...no, no, no. The list narrows, it's either the "system of projects" (sense 5) or "series of steps/goals" (sense 7) in the options.

Let's dissect this. "Program to attract and train ringers"... my initial thought leans toward a plan, a *programme* of action. Then I recalled that definition 7 is “a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished." The example confirms: "they drew up a six-step plan".

But hold on, sense 5, "a system of projects or services intended to meet a public need", also can be a "programme". Let's think, "working mothers rely on the day care program". It implies services. "Program to attract and train ringers" feels more like an *initiative* or a *plan* to me, not a service.

Okay, let's nail this down. Sense 7: a series of steps... Sense 5: a system of projects... Attracting and training ringers feels more like a plan, something you *do*, a structured initiative. Then I remind myself that sense 7, a "plan" or "programme".

Alright, let's put it back in context. "The council's program to attract and train ringers." It's a *plan* to attract and train. That maps *directly* to goals to be accomplished. I'm confident now. Sense 7, "a series of steps to be carried out or goals to be accomplished", is the best fit.

**Analyzing the Senses of "Attract" in Context**

Okay, so the target is "attract", and the surface form is, well, also "attract". The context is "council's program to attract and train ringers..." My initial thought is to consider the different senses of "attract" and how they might fit here. I've got a few candidates: drawing someone in, like with psychological power or physical attributes, as in "pull in"; exerting a physical force; or simply "being attractive to," as in appealing.

The phrase "attract and train ringers" immediately makes me lean towards the idea of drawing them in, right? It's about pulling potential ringers into the program. The examples for sense 1, like "The ad pulled in many potential customers," seems directly parallel to the context.

Let's differentiate. The phrase "attract ringers" leans strongly toward pulling them in, which fits sense 1. Comparing the sentence "The ad pulled in many potential customers" with "program to attract ringers" the similarity is apparent. Sense 3, "be attractive to," usually uses a stative verb ("The idea appeals to me"). Here, "attract" is active: "program to attract and train." So sense 1 seems the most active and fitting. It's about drawing/pulling people.

I'll check the sense definitions and synonyms, I have sense 1: attract%2:35:00:: | definition=direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes | synonyms=pull, pull in, draw, draw in and sense 3: attract%2:37:00:: | definition=be attractive to | synonyms=appeal. Yes, the "program to attract and train" is actively drawing people in, not just passively being attractive. This confirms my assessment: it's sense 1.

**My Analysis of "Train" in the Context of Bell Ringing**

Okay, so the target word is "train," and the context involves the council's efforts to bring in and develop bell ringers. My mind immediately jumps to a few candidate senses: "educate for a future role," "develop behavior through instruction," "create through training and teaching," and "teach and supervise." I'm looking for the best fit, and it's clear the phrase “attract and train ringers” is key.

My initial thought is to compare sense 1 (educate for a future role) with sense 3 (create by training and teaching) and sense 5 (teach and supervise). Sense 3 seems directly relevant, mirroring examples like "training world-class violinists." It's about *creating* ringers through teaching. Thinking "train ringers" as teaching people to be bell ringers, so "create by training and teaching" directly! The link seems sound: "train world-class violinists" translates to "train ringers" in this specific scenario.

I start to dig into the nuances of WordNet. I see the definitions, "train%2:31:01:: develop, prepare, educate, train (create by training and teaching)" and "prepare, groom, train (educate for a future role or function)" and "coach, train (teach and supervise (someone); act as a trainer or coach (to), as in sports)". In the example sentence, the action is definitely about *creating* ringers, not just grooming them for a predefined position or acting as a sports coach.

"The council's program to attract and train ringers" parallels "train world-class violinists." The program’s goal is to *develop* ringers, essentially teaching them the skill of ringing bells. It’s about more than just guiding someone towards a preexisting goal; it's about making them a ringer.

The context provides another strong indication: "we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10." This fact further reinforces the idea of *creating* ringers. My sense choice leans toward sense 3. It's not about preparing them for a *specific* role in the traditional sense, but rather the creation of someone with new skills. Given the WordNet information and the context, I'm confident that "create by training and teaching" is the most accurate representation of the intended meaning. So, my choice is Sense 3 (train%2:31:01::).

**Analyzing "Ringers" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "ringers," the plural of "ringer." The context is all about bell ringing at theological colleges – things like "The Bells in Your Care," training programs, and attracting new participants. Hmm... Let's look at the candidate senses.

Sense 1, a person who rings church bells, a "bell ringer" or "toller", seems to fit the bill perfectly. That's the core of the context. Sense 2, talking about a near identical person, a "dead ringer" or "clone", is definitely not it. We aren't comparing people. Sense 3, a successful horseshoe throw, also "ringer" has nothing to do with bells or education. Lastly, Sense 4, the idea of a fraudulent contestant, doesn't align with the theological college context.

Yeah, sense 1 is the only logical choice here. The context screams "bell ringers." That's the definition we're using. Case closed.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Only" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "only," and the context is "But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin." My initial instinct is that "only partly successful" suggests something like "just partly successful," "merely partly successful," or perhaps "nothing more than partly successful." Let's break this down systematically.

I'll check the potential senses. First, there's the nuance of "with nevertheless the final result," which doesn't seem to fit here at all. Second, and this feels promising, we have "and nothing more," essentially meaning "merely," "simply," or "just." This directly translates "only partly successful" to "merely partly successful." That feels right. Then there's "as recently as," "never except when," "in the final outcome," and the exclusivity implied by "without any others being included or involved." Finally "except that". These seem totally off-target.

Let's zoom in on sense 2. Its definition, "and nothing more," and the list of synonyms, "merely, simply, just, but," align perfectly. "Only partly successful" implies "it is merely partly successful," a clear case of "and nothing more."

Just to be thorough, I'm quickly revisiting other possible senses. Sense 6, which deals with exclusivity ("without any others being included or involved"), is a non-starter here. We're not saying that the success is the *only* thing involved, just that it's *merely* partial. No. Sense 2 remains the best fit.

Yes, it's clear: "only partly successful" means "it is just partly successful, and nothing more." The use of "only" here functions as a qualifier, limiting the degree of success achieved.

**Analyzing the Sense of "says"**

Okay, the target is "says," and it's in the context "...says Mr. Baldwin." My initial thought is to identify the relevant sense of "say" in this usage. It's clearly a reporting verb, but which sense is most appropriate?

I start by looking at candidate 9: `say%2:32:00::`, defining it as "express in words" with synonyms like "state, tell." This immediately feels promising, especially since it relates to direct reporting of a statement. Then I look at candidate 1: `say%2:32:01::`, which is "report or maintain" (allege, aver).

My initial instinct is that the "express in words" sense of candidate 9 is the standard reporting verb sense here. The phrase "says Mr. Baldwin" directly attributes spoken words to him. I quickly pull up WordNet, and I'm reminded that examples for `say%2:32:00::` include "He said that he wanted to marry her." This reinforces that idea. I check if there is an alternative sense, but the usage here looks like 2:32:00::.

Let's weigh options. Consider candidate 9, then candidate 1. The context sentence, "the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin" is pretty much a textbook example of reported speech. Candidate 9, "express in words", aligns best.

I quickly review all the candidates. We have reporting verbs, orders, non-verbal communication, indications, pronouncements, opinions, recitations, "utter aloud", and "read". Now, let's confirm the usage here.
Candidate 1 (report or maintain) is not the best fit because this does not imply that he is asserting something without proof, which is the definition for the synonyms in candidate 1.
Candidate 2: not a good fit.
Candidate 3: order, tell, enjoin, not appropriate here.
Candidate 4: communicate nonverbally, not appropriate here.
Candidate 5: indicate (clock says noon), not appropriate here.
Candidate 6: pronounce, not appropriate here.
Candidate 7: state as one's opinion or judgement; declare, is possibly appropriate, but not the best here.
Candidate 8: recite or repeat a fixed text, not appropriate here.
Candidate 9: express in words - the primary sense! "He said that he wanted to marry her" - the best fit here.
Candidate 10: utter aloud (She said 'Hello'), is not appropriate here.
Candidate 11: read (passage reads as follows), is not appropriate here.

Candidate 9, "express in words" (state, tell), is the obvious and primary sense. The phrase "He said that..." is a common use for this.

Finally, I confirm: in WordNet 3.0, `say%2:32:00::` is indeed the first sense and the most frequent.

Therefore, candidate 9 is the correct sense.

Context:
Says Mr. Baldwin, "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience. "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers. One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring. Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches. But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin. "<t>Right</t> now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10, "he adds. One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women.

**My Analysis of "Right" in "Right now"**

Okay, the target is "right," and the surface form is "Right" in "Right now, we're lucky if...". Let's dig in. I need to figure out which sense of "right" is used here. It's definitely not the sense of "exactly" as in 'fell flop on his face' (sense 1), or a Southern intensive (sense 2), nor an interjection expressing agreement (sense 3). My focus is on the adverbial uses. The question is whether "Right now" means "immediately" (sense 4) or "precisely, exactly" (sense 5).

"Right now" means 'at this exact moment' which seems to align with either "immediately" or "precisely". I need to tease this apart.  I'm thinking about how WordNet handles it. "Right now" isn't a lemma on its own, so I need to analyze "right" within the phrase. Does "right" in "right now" modify "now" in the sense of exactness or immediacy? Let's check WordNet's examples.  I see "she called right after dinner" for sense 4, "immediately". That’s a good clue. And sense 5 gives "stand right here!" for "precisely, exactly". "Right after" suggests a temporal relationship like "immediately after", but what about "right now"?

The Longman dictionary defines "right" + place/time to mean "exactly in a particular place or at a particular time," giving examples like "right here", "right now", and "right in the middle". That seems to group place and time together under "exactly". So, is it "right now" = "exactly now" or "immediately now"? "Do it right now!" is an immediate command, but this sentence isn't commanding. "Right now, we're lucky if..." describes a state, not an action, at this precise time. This leans me towards "exactly".

I'm revisiting WordNet senses. Right%4:02:08 deals with immediately, while right%4:02:04 handles precisely or exactly. And there's also right%4:02:07 for "completely", which is irrelevant here. Is there a temporal "precisely"?  Yes, it often means "at this very moment".  I'm starting to favor sense 5 ("precisely, exactly"), as it feels like "exactly now" works better than "immediately now".

Let's check Oxford: right (adverb) "exactly; directly" (e.g., right in the middle, right now). Is it sense 5 (precisely, exactly) or 4 (immediately)? "stand right here!" is clearly sense 5, so now what about "she called right after dinner" which is immediately after. "Right now" is "at this exact moment" or "immediately".  In this context, it feels like "at this exact time" is more accurate.

Now, I'm considering that syntactic parsers often tag "right" as an adverb and "now" as an adverb. I'm seeing "Right now" is often analyzed as "exactly (now)". So, which sense fits best, 4 or 5? If I have to choose between immediately and exactly, "right now" is "exactly now", as in, at this precise moment. This context suggests a statement of being in a state, rather than an order.

I'm checking WordNet.  Again:
right%4:02:04:: "precisely, exactly" - examples: "stand right here!"
right%4:02:08:: "immediately" - examples: "she called right after dinner"

The text describes an ongoing state ("we're lucky *right now*"), and not a command. SemCor typically annotates "right now" as right%4:02:04::, or "precisely, exactly".  So, to verify the analysis: "right now" is "exactly now" and "right away" is immediately. So "Right now" fits more with "precisely, exactly".

I will output sense 5: precisely, exactly as the most fitting sense here because "Right now" translates into "exactly now" or "at this precise moment".
