**Analyzing "Attract" in Context**

Okay, the target word is "attract," and the context is about a council program designed to attract and train ringers. Right off the bat, I need to consider the different senses. Let's see... Sense 1 is about drawing something or someone towards you, like a magnet. The synonyms given, "pull," "pull in," "draw," and "draw in," all fit with this idea of active solicitation. Sense 2 focuses on being appealing, like the appeal of a vacation. Sense 3, exerting a force, feels less relevant here.

Given the phrase "attract and train ringers," the focus seems to be on bringing in new people. The example sentence "The ad pulled in many potential customers" really clicks. That action of "pulling in" customers, the purposeful action of drawing something toward a source, perfectly mirrors a program designed to recruit and educate new ringers. Sense 2, while possibly indirectly related, feels weaker. Therefore, I'm confident that Sense 1 – the act of drawing something to you – is the correct interpretation in this context. It's a precise application of the word to the intended function.

**My Analysis of "Train" in "Attract and Train Ringers"**

Okay, the task is to understand the word "train" in the phrase "attract and train ringers." It's clear this is about teaching people to become bell ringers. Let's look at the dictionary senses to pinpoint the best meaning.

Hmm, there's a few possibilities. Sense 1 is "create by training and teaching," with examples like "The old master is training world-class violinists." Sense 2 is "undergo training or instruction" – an intransitive usage, as in "She is training to be a teacher." Sense 4 is "educate for a future role or function," as in "He is grooming his son to become his successor." And Sense 7 is "teach and supervise (someone); act as a trainer or coach (to)," like "He is training our Olympic team."

Let's see, back to the core phrase, "train ringers." Sense 1 definitely sounds applicable: "create by training and teaching" – develop, prepare, educate people in the skill of bell ringing. Sense 4, the "grooming" sense, also seems relevant, though perhaps less direct. But does it really mean *grooming*? Sense 1 fits best – "create by training and teaching" – we're teaching them the specific skill of bell ringing. It is about instructing them to become bell ringers.

Yup. Sense 1 it is. That's the most accurate representation of what's happening here. That is what "train" means here.

**My Analysis of "Ringers" in Context**

Okay, so we're looking at "ringers" in relation to bell ringing, theological colleges, and the overall rhythm of church life. This is straightforward enough; I'm immediately drawn to the most likely sense here. Sense 1, "a person who rings church bells," that's the bullseye. The synonyms provided, "toller" and "bell ringer," reinforce that this is the correct interpretation. The context screams that we're talking about the individuals actively involved in the art and practice of bell ringing, probably as a significant part of their theological or church-related activities. No need to look any further, this is a clear hit.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Only"**

Okay, so the task is to decipher the implication of "only" in that phrase, "...is only partly successful...". My initial instinct is to go beyond the surface and truly understand the *specific* meaning being conveyed. Let's see...

Candidate 1, "and nothing more," gives us synonyms like "merely," "simply," and "just." Aha! "Is merely partly successful" seems to work perfectly. It captures that sense of partial success *without* any additional implications. This is likely the winner.

Candidate 2 – "entirely," "exclusively," "solely" – those are definitely *not* the right direction. It's the opposite of the meaning we're after, so that's easy to rule out.

Candidates 3 and 4... those feel like they're trying to add a "final result" aspect. That doesn't really fit the intent of the original phrase, so these get tossed out.

Therefore, "merely" or "just" is the strongest fit. The phrase conveys the idea that the success is *limited* in scope or degree. That's the essence of the word "only" in this context. Done!

**Analyzing the Usage of "Says"**

Okay, so I'm looking at this sentence: "But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin." My initial thought is to figure out the specific nuance of "says" here. It's clearly a reporting verb, attributing a statement to Mr. Baldwin.

My first impulse is to consider the two main senses of "say": first, "express in words," which is the straightforward reporting of speech – the classic "He said that..." scenario. Synonyms here would be "state" or "tell." That's what I’d expect in most cases involving someone reporting a direct or indirect quote.

Then there's the second sense: "report or maintain," which leans towards "allege" or "aver." I'm mentally parsing the context now. Is Mr. Baldwin merely *expressing* a thought, or is he actually making a claim that requires more careful evaluation?

Given the sentence structure, and the standard usage of "says" in this kind of construction ("X is true, says Y"), I'm leaning heavily towards the first sense – "express in words." It's the most common and likely meaning here. I'm going to file that usage under "state" for my own mental filing system. It's a declarative statement being attributed to Baldwin. Unless there’s further context to suggest Mr. Baldwin is making a strong claim that needs to be qualified, then “express in words” is the correct way to analyze this.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Right Now"**

Okay, so the target is "Right" in "Right now." My initial thought is that "Right now" signifies the present moment, precisely or exactly. Let's look at the candidate senses.

Sense 1: *precisely, exactly* - fits. Examples like "Stand right here!" are a good parallel.
Sense 2: *immediately* - could fit, but does "right after dinner" translate to "right now"? I don't think so.
Sense 3: *exactly*, with a synonym of *flop* - definitely doesn't fit the context.

In "right now," "right" is definitely modifying "now" to sharpen its meaning. The best fit is Sense 1, with "precisely" or "exactly." "Right here!" and "right now!" are very similar. But hold on, the second definition includes "immediately".

However, based on my understanding of common usage, "right now" seems to strongly align with sense 1 - "precisely, exactly" - like "right here, right now." WordNet itself leans in that direction. So, I'll go with Sense 1.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Now"**

Okay, so the target word is "now," specifically in the phrase "Right now, we're lucky if..." My initial assessment is that it refers to "at the present moment." Let's evaluate the candidates. Candidate 4, "at the present moment" or simply "at present," seems like a clear winner. It's a precise synonym.

Candidate 2, "in these times" (or "nowadays," "today") is getting closer, but that phrase is more general. "Right now" implies that precise instant of time – “at the present moment." I need to be exact here. Wait a second, the phrase "right now" is often used to describe this "at the present moment".

Let's do some quick checks. With Candidate 4, "goods now on sale" is a good example of the meaning.

Could "Right now" have a connotation of "immediately"? No, that's not its primary meaning in this context. But it definitely works with "at present." Yes, the correct phrase to use with "right now" is Candidate 4. That is what fits best, and accurately describes the context.

**Deconstructing "Lucky" in Context**

Alright, let's break this down. The target is "lucky" in the phrase "we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10." My initial thought is to consider the various senses of the word. Sense 1, "occurring by chance," feels a bit off – like a "lucky escape" or "lucky guess." Not quite right. Sense 2, "having or bringing good fortune," that's more promising. Think "my lucky day" or "a lucky man." Hmm, and then there's Sense 3, "presaging or likely to bring good luck," such as a "favorable time".

Considering the context – "we're lucky if..." – it feels like we are indeed *fortunate*, implying we are *having* good fortune. Yes, that suggests Sense 2 is the closest fit. Let me just confirm. Is "we are lucky" equivalent to *having* good fortune? Yes, absolutely. Sense 1 is more about events, right? Like a "lucky guess" that's a chance occurrence. And Sense 2 is about people or things being fortunate, like "a lucky man." And Sense 3 is about signs or omens; it's a "favorable time".

Given that *we* are the ones experiencing the fortune, the "we" being the ones who are "lucky", Sense 2 is the exact match. It's definitive.

**Analyzing the Concept of "Years"**

Okay, so the target term is "years," and the context is "after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10." I'm immediately thinking chronologically here – a duration of time. Let's break down the potential senses.

First, the literal, most common understanding: *Sense 1* – a period of 365 or 366 days. That's the obvious go-to, the most direct interpretation. This seems like the most likely and relevant definition given the context of a timeframe.

Then, there's *Sense 2*, which encompasses a regular part of a calendar year, maybe a school year, or a fiscal year. But that's less relevant, I think. This one is less likely, but still possible as a secondary meaning if the primary interpretation is wrong.

*Sense 3* deals with orbital period. Nope, no orbital period here.

And *Sense 4* suggests a class or graduating year. Not even close.

Therefore, *Sense 1* – the straightforward period of time – is definitely the best fit. I'm confident that's the intended meaning.

**Deconstructing the Nuances of "New"**

Okay, so the target is "new" in the context of this council program. Mr. Baldwin says they're lucky to retain "one new ringer out of 10" after five years. My initial thought is that the meaning of "new" here is a recruit with little to no experience - maybe someone they've just recently acquired. That feels right, especially when I consider the program's purpose: attraction and training.

My mind immediately jumps to sense 3: "lacking training or experience". That lines up perfectly with the "new men were eager to fight; raw recruits" example. Sense 1 ("not of long duration; having just come into being") also comes to mind, a general sense, but sense 3 feels much more specific and relevant given the context of a training program for recruits. I also consider sense 5, meaning "different" or "other than the former ones," maybe it can fit, but not so sure.

The phrase "keep one new ringer out of 10" is interesting. It doesn't mean they are *still* inexperienced after five years, of course. It means they *were* new when they were recruited. So they're keeping *one* out of ten that *were* new. The fact that the council is trying to "attract and train ringers" clearly points towards them being newcomers. The phrase "new ringer" is clearly a recruit. I feel confident that sense 3 ("lacking training or experience") is the best fit. Sense 1 is too general here. The "new ringer" is essentially the new recruit.

So, for now, I'm settling on sense 3. It's the most appropriate interpretation in this context.

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

Alright, let's break this down. The target word is "ringer," and the surrounding text strongly suggests we're dealing with church bells and, by extension, bellringers. I immediately focus on the specifics provided: "trained bellringers in England," "where the bells need to be rung," and a "program to attract and train ringers." It's screaming "someone who rings bells" at me.

So, digging deeper, I'm confirming that the first and most obvious sense is a person who rings church bells, specifically for that purpose of calling a congregation. This aligns perfectly with my initial assessment. I'm also confirming that synonyms like "toller" and "bell ringer" are in the same ballpark, if not a precise match, confirming my thoughts.

Okay, the target word is "adds." Let's see... The context is, "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10, "he adds." My initial thought is to figure out the specific meaning here. It seems pretty clear. He's *stating* or *saying* something further, giving more information within a narrative.

Now let's check the potential senses. Aha! Sense 2 is "state or say further." Perfect. The synonyms listed – append, supply – confirm this. It's a textbook example of "adds" in the context of reported speech, or a narrative. Sense index 2 is the correct fit. This matches the usage exactly.

**Analyzing the Adjective "Bright" in Context**

Okay, so the task is to pinpoint the exact sense of "bright" in the phrase "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered...". My initial thought is that "bright" is modifying "sign" and indicates the sign is *positive*, something that suggests a favorable outcome or a reason for optimism. I need to be precise, so let's look at the senses.

I'm zeroing in on sense 10: "full of promise" – and the synonyms "hopeful, promising." The example sentence they give, "had a bright future in publishing," immediately clicks. "One bright sign" – it's a *promising* sign, a *hopeful* sign. The fit is exceptionally good, perfectly aligning with the given example sentence and my initial interpretation. Therefore, I'm confident in assigning sense_index = 10. That's a clean and efficient resolution.

**Analyzing the "Sign" in "One Bright Sign"**

Okay, so the target is the word "sign" in the phrase "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered...". My immediate thought is to consider the nuances of this word, specifically within this context. It's not a literal "signpost," clearly. It's more about a perceptible indication, a clue, a harbinger. Let's dig into the options.

"One bright sign" – hmm, that could mean it’s a direct indicator, something you *see* as a signal, or it could mean it's an event that predicts something important. Sense 1 is a "perceptible indication of something not immediately apparent" – that hits the mark, it’s a tangible clue. It's about recognizing a clue as something. Sense 8, however, touches on something foreboding, an *event* that tells of coming things.

Given the context, the phrase sounds positive and hopeful. If "we're lucky if we keep one... One bright sign is that a growing number of women...", that implies an indication of something good. So, the first definition, with synonyms like "mark", seems fitting. "He showed signs of strain" or "they welcomed the signs of spring" are good examples.

And wait, that example "welcomed the signs of spring" also fits the positive connotation here. So, back to Sense 1, even though Sense 8 had its uses.

A quick WordNet search confirms that "bright sign" often equates to a simple "sign," meaning an indication. Yes, I'm leaning more and more towards Sense 1. The key is it's a "perceptible indication."

Yes, I’ll stick with Sense 1.

**Analyzing the Target Word "Number"**

Alright, the target word is "number," specifically in the phrase "a growing number of women." Let's break this down. The first candidate meaning that pops to mind is, and let's be blunt, *the* primary definition: "the property possessed by a sum or total or indefinite quantity of units or individuals." Think of it as the core mathematical concept, applicable to a collection. The classic example in my internal database? "He had a number of chores to do."

Now, comparing this definition back to "a growing number of women" ... it's a perfect fit! The phrase uses "number" in its most fundamental sense – a quantifiable quantity. The "growing" aspect simply modifies that quantity, indicating an increase. There's no figurative leap here, no secondary meaning at play. It's straightforward. Good.

My first thought is to consider the potential senses: a general adult female person, a female in a close relationship with a man, perhaps a charwoman, or women as a general class.

Given the phrasing, "a growing number of women have entered... more than a third... are women," it's clear we're dealing with individual, countable entities. The phrase "a growing number of women" makes this very obvious. My expert knowledge jumps to this conclusion immediately.

Considering the alternative of "women as a class" – that seems wrong. Typically when discussing the concept of 'woman' as a class, we're dealing with uncountable uses, like "woman is the glory of creation". I'd expect an article like "the" to accompany a use in this sense.

Therefore, sense number one, "adult female person", is the definitive best fit here. It's the only sense that makes sense based on the context's construction and connotation.

**Deconstructing the Nuance of "Entered"**

Okay, so the target is "entered" in the context of women entering a male-dominated field. My focus is on the semantic interpretation, specifically determining the precise sense of "enter" in this context. I need to get this right; precision is key.

My initial thought is to consider the "embark upon" meaning – that sense of embarking on a new career. Let's see... looking at sense 2, that's "become a participant; be involved in" - sounds good, like *participate*.

Sense 9 – "set out on (an enterprise or subject of study)" – is there, and it's looking at *embark*, *enter upon*. I *think* "entered the field" leans toward *embarking* on a career or field, but often "enter" just means participate, or embark upon a career.

I'm checking if I can use the phrase "enter a field" with the sense of "embark". I'm recalling how that gets used... In WordNet, "embark" is "set out on (an enterprise or subject of study)"!

Alright, checking other options: sense 2, like "enter a race", "enter an agreement". Is it sense 1? "go into"? "entered a field" seems figurative. Wait, WordNet does use "embark" for sense 9, with the example "she embarked upon a new career." But does "enter" *mean* "embark"? "Enter upon" usually does.

I'm back to sense 2: "become a participant; be involved in" which means *participate*. Is there a specific sense for "entering" a profession? WordNet doesn't have a *specific* profession one, but "go into" (sense 1) is *to come or go into*.

Wait! "enter%2:33:00::" is "become a participant; be involved in" - synonyms: *participate*, *enter*. And sense 9 is "set out on (an enterprise or subject of study)." Synonyms: *embark*, *enter*.

"Women have entered the once male-dominated field" – are they *involved* in it, or *embarked* upon it? Usually "enter a field" maps to "enter" (become a participant). But, "go into" is a synonym of sense 1 - "go into a field".

So, sense 2? Or sense 9?

I'm checking WordNet for "enter a field." Embark is usually "enter upon". I think I'll pick sense 2 as "become a participant; be involved in".

Let's reconsider sense 9. "set out on (an enterprise or subject of study)." "enter" a field of study/profession. Actually, sense 1 has synonyms "come in, get into, get in, go into, go in, move into". "go into" is often used for professions ("go into medicine").

But the *target* is "enter".

I am going to choose sense 2: *participate*. Wait, participating in a field? "enter the field" meaning participate.

Let's go with sense 9, "embark" -> "she embarked upon a new career". Entering a field *is* setting out on a career, so it's the most *specific*.

Oh, wait, "embark" needs "upon" or "on". You don't "embark a field". You "enter a field".

Okay, let's go with sense 2. "become a participant; be involved in". That's what I am going with.

**Deconstructing "Once"**

Okay, so the task at hand involves unpacking the meaning of "once" within the context of "the once male-dominated field." Let's break this down. My initial thought goes to the nuances of that word. It's got a few potential meanings, and context is key, right?

I immediately consider the more common uses: sense one, referring to a singular occasion, like "Once I saw that film," and sense two, indicating time, like, "Once we get there, we can begin". However, neither of those applies here. Given the phrase in question, it's about the state of the field.

That leads me directly to sense three: "at a previous time." Thinking along those lines, "once" is clearly acting as a synonym for "formerly." It's expressing a shift in the field's dynamics, alluding to the past state of affairs. Therefore, the "once male-dominated field" is the same as the "formerly male-dominated field." This is the core of the message, and it's this nuance I'm after.

**Analyzing the Usage of "Field"**

Okay, the target word here is "field," and it's being used in the context of bellringing, specifically discussing the increasing participation of women. My initial instinct is to pin down the precise meaning.

Let's see...I need to evaluate the different senses of "field". Sense 7 looks promising. It describes "a particular environment or walk of life," which sounds about right for bellringing. I mean, it's a specific area of activity, a hobby, maybe even a subculture. The synonyms of "sphere", "domain", "area", "orbit", "arena" seem to fit; it was "male-dominated," a "closed area of employment".

Sense 6, focusing on "commercial enterprise," doesn't seem to be the primary meaning in this context. While some aspects of bellringing may have commercial components, the core of it isn't defined by business. And Sense 4, which refers to "a branch of knowledge," doesn't quite fit either. Bellringing certainly involves skill and knowledge, but it is not a "branch" of it.

So, I'm going with Sense 7. It's the most appropriate here. The text seems to be using "field" to indicate that bellringing is a specific arena, a domain, or a particular walk of life.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Third"**

Okay, so I'm looking at this phrase: "more than a third of the ringers today are women." My immediate task is to figure out the correct sense of "third" in this context. It's clearly a numerical concept, so I'll go through the candidates. The first one, labeled Candidate 1, offers "one of three equal parts of a divisible whole." That feels spot-on. It's about a fraction, a proportion – *that's* what "a third" represents here, right? We're talking about a portion of the total number of ringers.

Now, I need to make sure. I'll check Candidate 3. It's defined as "following the second position in an ordering or series." Nope, that's not it. It's definitely not about ordinal position here, like "the third inning" or something similar.

Therefore, given that Candidate 1 aligns perfectly with how the word is used, I conclude that Candidate 1 is the correct sense for the word "third" in the given sentence. This meaning is the correct one.

**Analyzing the Meaning of "Ringers"**

Okay, so the task is to decipher the meaning of "ringers," and the context is specifically bellringers in England. Right away, my brain starts sorting through the different potential senses. I have to consider the nuances here, given the specialized field.

First, I think of the most direct application – Sense 1: a *person who rings church bells*. This seems like the obvious, most relevant meaning, considering the provided context. I immediately associate synonyms like "toller" and "bell ringer." That feels pretty solid, given what I know about the subject.

But, I need to be thorough. I briefly consider the other senses. Sense 2 describes *someone almost identical to another*. That's not clicking with bellringers specifically. Then there's Sense 3, a *contestant under false pretenses*. That's clearly out of left field for this situation. Finally, Sense 4, which refers to *a successful horseshoe or quoit throw.* Again, no immediate connection to bellringing in England.

Given the contextual clues, I'm confident that Sense 1 is the correct interpretation. The others feel completely incongruous with the given information. It's a clear and concise situation.

**Analyzing the Nuances of "Today"**

Alright, let's break this down. The key word is "today," and we need to nail down its meaning within this sentence: "...more than a third of the ringers today are women." My initial thought process immediately jumps to disambiguation, as it usually does. I see two primary senses of "today" competing for dominance.

First, there's the broad, conceptual sense – the present time or era. Think "the world of today" or "today we have advanced technology." Then, there's the more specific, calendar-bound sense - the single, specific day. "Today is sunny" or "Did you read today's paper?"

Given the sentence's context, the intended meaning is crystal clear. We're not talking about a 24-hour period. We're not discussing a specific calendar day. Instead, the focus is on the current state of affairs, the present demographic of ringers. It's an observation about the present *time*, about the state of change and acceptance. Therefore, the first sense of "today," the present era, is the correct interpretation. This wasn't exactly difficult, but as usual, understanding the context is the most important part!

**Analyzing the Term "Women"**

Okay, so the target word is "women," and the surrounding text mentions a field where "a growing number of women have entered." Hmm, let's break down the possible meanings. First, we have the straightforward sense: "adult female person." Then, there's the more complex idea of a woman in relation to a man, a significant role. Could it be a domestic worker, a "housewife"? Unlikely, given the context of a field. Finally, there's "women as a class" – a broader, sociological definition.

Looking closer, the phrase "more than a third of the ringers today are women" really helps clarify things. It's countable, right? "A third of the ringers *are* women," not "a third of the ringers *is* womanhood." This eliminates the class definition, which wouldn't work in this numerical context. The sentence is about specific, countable individuals. Sense 1, the adult female person, is the only one that makes logical sense here. It's a clear, direct, and appropriate interpretation. It's the plural of *woman*, not some abstract concept.

**Analyzing the Nuance of "Accepted"**

Okay, so the text says "They [women] are not accepted everywhere, however. The oldest bell-ringing group in the country... remains male-only...". My immediate thought is, what specifically does "accepted" mean here? It's not a straightforward term, so I need to get precise. We're talking about women's participation, or lack thereof, in a specific activity, bell-ringing.

Let's look at the candidates. I've got two strong contenders: "react favorably to; consider right and proper" and "admit into a group or community." The first one, number 4, is possible, but it feels a bit broad. It could refer to societal attitudes. But the context is explicitly about *joining* a bell-ringing group.

Candidate 5, "admit into a group or community," is definitely the stronger fit. The sentence following the "accepted" statement specifies this *exact* situation: the group remains male-only. It's about membership, belonging, being part of the community of bell-ringers. The Ancient Society of College Youths is the concrete example of the type of group we're talking about, so "admit" is definitely the right semantic field here. It's not just a general sense of approval, but explicit inclusion or exclusion. Yes, I'm confident. Candidate 5 is the clear winner.

Target lemma: however
Target surface form: however
Context:
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. "Right 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. They are not accepted everywhere, <t>however</t>. The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

**Analyzing "However" in Context**

Okay, so the target word is "however" in the sentence "They are not accepted everywhere, however." The surrounding text highlights a positive trend – more women are entering the field. My job is to nail down the right sense of "however" here.

Right off the bat, I'm considering "despite anything to the contrary" (Sense 1) versus "by contrast; on the other hand" (Sense 2). The previous sentence presents a positive – increased female participation. The target sentence introduces something that seems like the opposite, "They are not accepted everywhere, however."

This definitely leans towards a contrast. Let me check the definition of Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand." Hmm, yes, that fits really well here. The context explicitly states the increase of women. The next sentence seems to be about the negative of this. The sentence acts in opposition to the first.

I need to confirm. The example for Sense 2 is, "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours". That's a textbook contrast. The context shows a similar structure: a positive trend in female participation, immediately followed by the caveat of this trend; "They are not accepted everywhere, however."

Yes, the sentence is a contrast to the previous point. I'm selecting Sense 2. "However" in this case functions to present the idea in opposition to the first.

**My Analysis of "Bell-Ringing"**

Okay, so the target term is "bell-ringing," and the context screams "churches" and "ringers" – think St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey, that sort of thing. The Ancient Society of College Youths further reinforces this. My expert intuition immediately throws up a few possible senses, as is always the case.

Firstly, the most obvious: the actual sound *produced* by someone playing bells. Then, there's the more figurative meaning: the act of persuading voters in a political context, often referred to as canvassing. Finally, there's a specific, technical sense: playing a set of bells, typically housed in a tower, which I'd classify as carillon playing, though that's not the primary focus here.

Given the surrounding text, the activity or group performing this activity primarily in church, the third sense, "playing a set of bells that are (usually) hung in a tower," appears to be the most fitting. It's the action of *playing* those tower bells, rather than just the sound, and definitely not canvassing! Sense 3 is the core idea being presented.
