Context:
Proper English bells are started off in "rounds, "from the highest-pitched bell to the lowest -- a simple descending scale using, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells. Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady rhythm of the striking. Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the rules state. Ringers memorize patterns of changes, known as "methods, "which have odd-sounding names like Kent Treble Bob Major or Grandsire Caters. A series of 5,000 or so changes is a "peal "and takes about three hours. A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London <t>gives</t> an idea of the work involved. Ten shirt-sleeved ringers stand in a circle, one foot ahead of the other in a prize-fighter's stance, each pulling a rope that disappears through a small hole in the high ceiling of the ringing chamber.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "gives" in the sentence: "A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London gives an idea of the work involved."

Let me analyze the context. "A look at... gives an idea of the work involved." This means that looking at the practice provides/conveys an idea of the work involved. It's about conveying or revealing information.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. cause to have - "She gave him a black eye" - not quite
2. be the cause or source of - "He gave me a lot of trouble" - close, but "gives an idea" is more about conveying/providing information
3. transfer possession - not quite
4. convey or reveal information - "Give one's name" - this could work. "gives an idea" = conveys/reveals information about the work involved
5. convey as of a compliment - not quite
6. organize or be responsible for - no
7. convey or communicate; of a smile - no
8. give as a present - no
9. cause to happen - no
10. dedicate - no
11. give or supply - "The cow brings in 5 liters of milk" - this is about producing/supplying something
12. transmit knowledge or skills - no
13. bring about - no
14. leave with; give temporarily - no
15. emit or utter - no
16. endure the loss of - no
17. place into hands or custody - no
18. give entirely to - no
19. give as medicine - no
20. give or convey physically - no
21. bestow - no
22. bestow officially - no
23. move in order to make room - no
24. give food to - no
25. contribute to some cause - no
26. break down - no
27. estimate - no
28. execute and deliver - no
29. deliver in exchange - no
30. afford access to - no
31. present to view - "He gave the sign to start" - maybe, but not quite
32. perform for an audience - no
33. be flexible - no
34. propose - no
35. accord by verdict - no
36. manifest or show - "This student gives promise of real creativity; The office gave evidence of tampering" - this is interesting. "gives an idea" could be seen as manifesting or showing
37. offer in good faith - no
38. submit for consideration - no
39. guide or direct - no
40. allow to have or take - no
41. inflict as punishment - no
42. occur - no
43. consent to sex - no
44. proffer a body part - no

Now, between sense 2 (be the cause or source of), sense 4 (convey or reveal information), and sense 36 (manifest or show):

Sense 2: "be the cause or source of" with examples "He gave me a lot of trouble; Our meeting afforded much interesting information" - The second example "Our meeting afforded much interesting information" is similar to "gives an idea of the work involved."

Sense 4: "convey or reveal information" with example "Give one's name" - This is about conveying specific information.

Sense 36: "manifest or show" with examples "This student gives promise of real creativity; The office gave evidence of tampering" - "gives an idea" could be seen as showing/manifesting.

Actually, "A look at... gives an idea of the work involved" - this means that looking at the practice provides an understanding/idea of the work. This is closest to sense 2 (be the cause or source of) - the look is the source of the idea. The example "Our meeting afforded much interesting information" parallels "A look... gives an idea."

But wait, sense 4 says "convey or reveal information" - "gives an idea" is conveying information about the work involved.

Hmm, let me think more carefully. "gives an idea" - this is providing/conveying an understanding.

Sense 2 with synonym "afford" and example "Our meeting afforded much interesting information" seems very parallel. The meeting afforded information, just as the look gives an idea.

Sense 36 "manifest or show" with "The office gave evidence of tampering" - this is about showing evidence, which is similar to giving an idea.

I think sense 2 is the best fit. "A look at... gives an idea of the work involved" = A look at the practice is the source of an idea about the work involved. The synonym "afford" works well here - "A look at the practice affords an idea of the work involved."

Actually, let me reconsider. "Give an idea" is a common expression meaning to provide/convey an understanding.

Sense 4: "convey or reveal information" - this seems to fit well too. An idea is information, and the look conveys/reveals it.

But the example for sense 4 is "Give one's name" which is about stating/uttering information directly, not about providing an understanding.

Sense 2: "be the cause or source of" with "Our meeting afforded much interesting information" - this is about something being the source of information/understanding, which is exactly what "A look at... gives an idea" means.

I'll go with sense 2.

The context is: "A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London gives an idea of the work involved."

Here, "gives an idea of the work involved" means it provides an approximate sense or understanding of the quantity/degree/nature of the work involved. This aligns with sense 4: "an approximate calculation of quantity or degree or worth" with synonyms like "estimate, estimation, approximation" and example "a rough idea how long it would take."

The phrase "gives an idea of" is commonly used to mean "provides an approximation or sense of," which matches sense 4.

The target word is "involved" in the context: "gives an idea of the work involved."

The context describes the complex task of bell ringing, with methods, patterns of changes, peals, etc. "The work involved" refers to the work that is connected/associated with this activity (bell ringing).

Let's look at the candidate senses:

1. connected by participation or association or use - examples: "we accomplished nothing, simply because of the large number of people involved; the problems involved"
2. entangled or hindered as if e.g. in mire
3. emotionally involved
4. highly complex or intricate and occasionally devious
5. enveloped

The phrase "the work involved" means the work that is part of or associated with bell ringing. Sense 1 with the example "the problems involved" is very similar to "the work involved" - it refers to the work connected to or associated with the activity.

While the activity is complex (sense 4), the phrase "the work involved" is more about the work that is part of/associated with this activity, not describing the work as complex per se. The structure "the X involved" matches the example "the problems involved" in sense 1.

So the best sense is 1.

The context is clearly about church bell ringers - they're at St. Mary Abbot church, pulling ropes that go through the ceiling to ring bells, practicing methods and changes which are terms used in change ringing (campanology).

So the best sense is index 1.

reasoning_content:
The context describes ringers standing in a "circle" - they are arranged in a circular formation. The phrase "stand in a circle" is very similar to the example for sense 3: "the chairs were arranged in a circle." This is about the shape/arrangement, not an abstract association of people, not a geometric ellipse, not a lap, not a traffic circle, etc.

Sense 3 fits best: "something approximating the shape of a circle" with example "the chairs were arranged in a circle."

The context is: "Ten shirt-sleeved ringers stand in a circle, one foot ahead of the other in a prize-fighter's stance..."

Here, "one foot ahead of the other" means one foot (the body part) is placed ahead of the other foot. This is about the human foot, the part of the leg below the ankle joint.

Let me check the senses:
1. foot%1:08:01:: - the part of the leg of a human being below the ankle joint - "his bare feet projected from his trousers"
2. foot%1:23:00:: - a linear unit of length equal to 12 inches
3. foot%1:15:00:: - the lower part of anything
etc.

The phrase "one foot ahead of the other" clearly refers to the body part - one foot placed ahead of the other foot. This is sense 1.

The context describes ringers standing in a circle, "one foot ahead of the other in a prize-fighter's stance."
This describes a physical positioning where one foot is placed in front of the other.
Sense 1: "at or in the front" | synonyms=in front, before | examples=I see the lights of a town ahead; the road ahead is foggy. But "ahead of" here means spatially in front.

Let's look at the usage: "one foot ahead of the other".
Wait, "one foot ahead of the other" usually means "one foot in front of the other" physically. Like a staggered stance.
"Ahead of" someone or something means in front of them.
Is sense 1 the right one? "at or in the front" -> "in front". "one foot in front of the other". Yes.

Let's check sense 3: "in a forward direction" | synonyms=onward, onward. Examples: go ahead. "one foot onward of the other" doesn't fit as well as "in front".

Wait, "ahead of" is a common spatial preposition meaning "in front of".
Sense 1: "at or in the front".
Sense 3: "in a forward direction" (e.g., "go ahead").

Let's consider "one foot ahead of the other". It definitely means one foot is in front of the other.
So sense 1 fits best.

Let's double check.
"Ten shirt-sleeved ringers stand in a circle, one foot ahead of the other in a prize-fighter's stance"
Prize-fighter's stance involves one foot placed in front of the other.
"ahead of" -> in front of.
Sense 1: definition=at or in the front | synonyms=in front, before | examples=I see the lights of a town ahead; the road ahead is foggy
Could it be 1? Yes.

Let's quickly check if there's a more specific sense for "ahead of" meaning "in front of".
Sense 1 has "before" and "in front" as synonyms. "one foot in front of the other".
Yes, sense 1.

Sense 2: a rationalized mental attitude (synonyms: position, posture)

In the context, the ringers are physically standing in a circle with one foot ahead of the other, described as a "prize-fighter's stance." This clearly refers to a physical standing posture, not a mental attitude. The phrase "one foot ahead of the other" describes a physical positioning of the body.

So the best sense is Sense 1.

Sense 2 is about flunitrazepan (roofies), which doesn't fit at all.

reasoning_content:
The context describes ropes that "disappear through a small hole in the high ceiling of the ringing chamber." This is an opening through something (the ceiling).

Sense 1: "an opening into or through something" - this fits well, as the rope goes through the ceiling.
Sense 2: "an opening deliberately made in or through something" - this also could fit, as the hole was likely deliberately made for the rope to pass through.

The distinction between sense 1 and sense 2 is whether the opening was deliberately made. In this context, the hole in the ceiling of a ringing chamber is certainly deliberately made for the bell ropes to pass through. So sense 2 might be more specific and appropriate.

But sense 1 is more general: "an opening into or through something." The hole is definitely an opening through the ceiling. Both could work, but sense 2 specifically mentions "deliberately made," which fits the context of a church ringing chamber where holes are made for ropes.

Actually, let me reconsider. WordNet sense distinctions can be subtle. Sense 1 (%1:17:01::) is "an opening into or through something" and sense 2 (%1:06:00::) is "an opening deliberately made in or through something."

The hole in the ceiling for the bell ropes is definitely deliberately made. So sense 2 seems more specific and accurate.

I'll go with sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The context describes ringers standing in a circle pulling ropes that go through holes in the ceiling of a "ringing chamber". This is an enclosed space/room where bell ringers stand to ring the bells.

Sense 1: "a natural or artificial enclosed space" - this is the most general sense.
Sense 5: "a room used primarily for sleeping" - not applicable.
Sense 3: judge's room - not applicable.
Sense 4: assembly - not applicable.
Sense 2: body chamber - not applicable.

The ringing chamber is a room (enclosed space) where the bell ringers stand. Sense 1 seems the best fit as it's "an artificial enclosed space."

Wait, but is "chamber" in "ringing chamber" closer to "a room" sense? Sense 1 is "a natural or artificial enclosed space" which is quite general. The ringing chamber is indeed a room/space enclosed in the church tower.

Let me reconsider. In WordNet, "chamber" sense 1:06:00:: is "a natural or artificial enclosed space" - this would cover the ringing chamber as an enclosed space in the church tower.

Actually, looking more carefully, the ringing chamber is a room. Sense 5 is specifically a bedroom. Sense 1 is the general "enclosed space." None of the senses specifically says "a room" in general - sense 5 is bedroom, sense 3 is judge's room. So sense 1 seems to be the best fit as the general enclosed space.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context describes bell ringers during a practice session. The sentence is: "No one speaks, and the snaking of the ropes seems to make as much sound as the bells themselves..."

Here "speaks" means using language - talking to each other. "No one speaks" means nobody is talking/using language during the practice.

Sense 1: express in speech
Sense 2: exchange thoughts; talk with
Sense 3: use language

"No one speaks" is closest to "the prisoner won't speak" example in sense 3 (use language). The sentence is saying nobody uses language (talks) during the practice.

Sense 1 (express in speech) - this is more about expressing something specific in speech.
Sense 3 (use language) - the example "the prisoner won't speak" is very similar to "No one speaks" - both are about the absence of using language/talking.

I'll go with sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The context is about bell ringers pulling ropes that go through holes in a ceiling to ring church bells. The word "ropes" here clearly refers to actual physical ropes — strong lines used to ring the bells.

Sense 1: "a strong line" — this fits perfectly. The ringers are pulling physical ropes.
Sense 2: "street names for flunitrazepan" — this is about a drug, completely irrelevant.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "seems" in the context: "the snaking of the ropes seems to make as much sound as the bells themselves".

Let's analyze the context:
"the snaking of the ropes seems to make as much sound as the bells themselves"
Here, "seems to make" implies giving a certain impression or having a certain outward aspect.
Sense 1: give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect. Example: "She seems to be sleeping".
Sense 2: seem to be true, probable, or apparent. Example: "It seems that he is very gifted".
Sense 3: appear to exist. Example: "There seems no reason to go ahead with the project now".
Sense 4: appear to one's own mind or opinion. Example: "I seem to be misunderstood".

In the sentence, the snaking of the ropes *gives a certain impression* (outwardly appears to make as much sound). It fits Sense 1 ("give a certain impression or have a certain outward aspect") best.

Let's check Sense 2. It is often used with "It seems that..." or "It seems to be true/probable".
Sense 1 fits "X seems to do Y".
"She seems to be sleeping" -> "the snaking of the ropes seems to make..."

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct choice.

The context is: "the snaking of the ropes seems to make as much sound as the bells themselves"

Here "make" means "produce" or "create" sound. The ropes seem to produce as much sound as the bells.

Looking at the candidate senses:

- Sense 5: make%2:36:08:: | definition=give rise to; cause to happen or occur, not always intentionally | synonyms=cause, do | examples=cause a commotion; make a stir

This fits well - "make sound" = "produce sound" = "give rise to sound". The examples "cause a commotion" and "make a stir" are similar in structure to "make sound" - producing an effect.

- Sense 3: make%2:36:00:: | definition=make or cause to be or to become | synonyms=create | examples=make a mess in one's office; create a furor

This could also work - "create" sound. But "make a mess" and "create a furor" are about creating situations.

- Sense 6: make%2:36:01:: | definition=create or manufacture a man-made product | synonyms=produce, create | examples=We produce more cars than we can sell; The company has been making toys for two centuries

This is about manufacturing physical products, not quite right for "making sound."

Sense 5 seems most appropriate: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur" - the ropes give rise to sound, they cause sound to occur. "Make a stir" is a similar pattern where "make" means producing/creating an effect rather than a physical product.

reasoning_content:
The context is about bell ringers and the sound made by ropes and bells. "the snaking of the ropes seems to make as much sound as the bells themselves". This refers to the auditory effect produced - the physical sound. Let me look at the senses:

1. "the particular auditory effect produced by a given cause" - examples: sound of rain, sound of music
2. "the subjective sensation of hearing something" - examples: strained to hear faint sounds
3. "mechanical vibrations transmitted by an elastic medium" - examples: falling trees make a sound

The context is about the physical sound produced by ropes and bells. This is closest to sense 1 (auditory effect produced by a given cause) or sense 3 (mechanical vibrations).

Sense 1 is about the auditory effect - the sound as perceived/produced. The ropes make sound (auditory effect). This fits well with "the sound of rain on the roof" - similar physical cause producing sound.

Sense 3 is more about the physics of sound as vibrations. The example "falling trees make a sound in the forest even when no one is there to hear them" emphasizes the objective existence of sound independent of perception.

In context, "make as much sound as the bells" - the ropes produce an auditory effect comparable to the bells. This is about the sound produced by a cause (rope movement, bells). Sense 1 fits best.

Sense 4 is "sudden occurrence of an audible event" - not quite, this is continuous.

I'll go with sense 1.

Target lemma: bell
Target surface form: bells
Context:
Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the rules state. Ringers memorize patterns of changes, known as "methods, "which have odd-sounding names like Kent Treble Bob Major or Grandsire Caters. A series of 5,000 or so changes is a "peal "and takes about three hours. A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London gives an idea of the work involved. Ten shirt-sleeved ringers stand in a circle, one foot ahead of the other in a prize-fighter's stance, each pulling a rope that disappears through a small hole in the high ceiling of the ringing chamber. No one speaks, and the snaking of the ropes seems to make as much sound as the <t>bells</t> themselves, muffled by the ceiling. Totally absorbed, the ringers stare straight ahead, using peripheral vision (they call it "rope-sight ") to watch the other ropes and thus time their pulls.

reasoning_content:
The context describes church bell ringing - ringers pulling ropes, a ringing chamber, St. Mary Abbot church, methods, peals, changes. The "bells" here are the physical bells in the church tower that make ringing sounds when struck/swung.

Sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck" - this fits the church bells being rung.

Sense 3 is "the sound of a bell being struck" - but the context refers to the physical bells muffled by the ceiling, and the ropes making sound "as much as the bells themselves." This refers to the physical bells, not just the sound.

So sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "muffled" in the context: "...the bells themselves, muffled by the ceiling."

Context is about bell ringing. The bells' sound is being deadened/muted by the ceiling.

Sense 1: conceal or hide (smother, stifle, strangle, repress) - e.g., muffle one's anger
Sense 2: deaden (a sound or noise), especially by wrapping (mute, dull, damp, dampen, tone down)

The context clearly refers to sound being deadened by the ceiling. So sense 2 is correct.

The context describes ringers pulling ropes through a hole in the "high ceiling of the ringing chamber" and bells being "muffled by the ceiling." This is clearly referring to the physical overhead surface of a room/building.

Sense 1: "the overhead upper surface of a covered space" - this fits perfectly.
