reasoning_content:
The target word is "next" in the context "located next to the altar".
This means the stairs are situated beside or adjacent to the altar.
Looking at the senses:
1. immediately following in time or order (synonyms: following)
2. nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space (synonyms: adjacent, side by side)
3. (of elected officers) elected but not yet serving (synonyms: future, succeeding)

Sense 2 is clearly the best fit because "next to" in this context refers to spatial proximity (adjacent to the altar).
The definition says "nearest in space or position; immediately adjoining without intervening space".

reasoning_content:
The context is about a church (St. Mary's Church), with a vicar, congregation, and prayer. This is a Christian church setting. The altar is mentioned as being next to the stairs from the bell tower.

Sense 1: "the table in Christian churches where communion is given" - this is specifically Christian.
Sense 2: "a raised structure on which gifts or sacrifices to a god are made" - this is more general.

The context is clearly a Christian church. The more specific sense for a Christian church altar would be sense 1.

raw_output:
Looking at the context, the vicar is describing a scenario — "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above..." The "So" here is used to introduce an illustrative description, meaning "in this way" or "thus." He is painting a picture of what happens: *thus/in this way*, crunch, crunch, crunch. This matches the sense meaning "in the way indicated" with the synonym "thus."

{"sense_index": 6}

reasoning_content:
The target word is "So" in the context: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer," he says.

Let me analyze the context. The sentence starts with "So crunch, crunch, crunch..." This "So" is being used to introduce a description or narrative, almost like "thus" or "in this way." It's describing a scenario - "So [imagine this]: crunch, crunch, crunch..."

Looking at the candidates:

Sense 6: "in the way indicated; (`thusly' is a nonstandard variant)" with synonyms "thus, thusly" and examples "hold the brush so; set up the pieces thus" - This seems to fit well. The vicar is describing how things happen - "So crunch, crunch, crunch" meaning "Thus/in this way, crunch, crunch, crunch..."

Sense 8: "subsequently or soon afterward" with synonyms "then, and so, and then" - This could also be a possibility if it's being used as a narrative connector.

Sense 4: "to a certain unspecified extent or degree" - doesn't fit.

Sense 3: "in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied" - possible but less likely.

The "So" here is used to introduce an illustrative scenario - "So [in this way/thus], crunch, crunch, crunch..." It's like saying "So picture this" or "So here's what happens."

Actually, looking more carefully, "So" at the beginning of this sentence is being used to introduce a description of what happens. It's somewhat like "Thus" - describing the manner in which things occur. The vicar is saying "So [thus/in this way], crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers..."

Sense 6 seems to be the best fit: "in the way indicated" with synonym "thus" - the vicar is illustrating how the ringers come down, saying "so [thus/in this way] crunch, crunch, crunch..."

Actually, let me reconsider. "So" at the beginning of a sentence can also be used as a discourse marker to introduce a narrative or explanation. This is common in spoken English. But in WordNet terms, which sense captures this?

Sense 6: "in the way indicated; thus" - examples: "hold the brush so; set up the pieces thus" - This is about manner.

The vicar is using "So" to set up a scenario, like "So, [imagine this]" - it's introducing an illustrative description. This is closest to "thus" or "in this way."

I think sense 6 is the best answer here.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer,"

The sentence is "here come the ringers from above".
This implies motion toward the speaker/vicar.
"here come" is like "come here".
Sense 3 is "to this place (especially toward the speaker)", synonyms=hither, examples="come here, please".
"here come the ringers" fits "to this place" / "hither".

Let's check the senses:
1. in or at this place (location)
2. in this circumstance or respect
3. to this place (motion toward speaker) - hither
4. at this time; now

"here come the ringers from above" -> the ringers are coming to this place.
Yes, Sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer"

The target word is "come" in "here come the ringers from above".

Let me analyze the context. The ringers are coming down the stairs from the bell tower. "Here come the ringers from above" - this is describing the ringers moving toward the listener/observer (or approaching). They are descending from the bell tower.

Looking at the senses:

1. come%2:38:00:: - move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody - "He came singing down the road; Come with me to the Casbah"
2. come%2:38:04:: - reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress - "She arrived home at 7 o'clock"
3. come%2:30:01:: - come to pass; arrive, as in due course

The phrase "here come the ringers" is describing the ringers approaching/moving toward the observer. This is a classic use of "come" meaning to move toward someone or something. The phrase "here come X" is a common English expression meaning "X is approaching."

Sense 1 seems like the best fit: "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody." The ringers are coming (down the stairs, from above, toward the congregation area).

Let me also consider sense 2: "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress." This is more about arriving at a destination. The phrase "here come the ringers from above" emphasizes the movement toward the observer, not necessarily arriving at a destination.

Sense 1 is the best fit.

The target word is "above" in the context: "here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer"

The ringers are coming from the bell tower, which is located higher up (above the altar/congregation). They are descending the stairs.

Sense 1: at an earlier place (e.g., "see above" in text)
Sense 2: in or to a place that is higher

The context clearly refers to a physical location that is higher (the bell tower above the altar). So sense 2 is correct.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "making" in the context: "here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer"

The phrase is "making a very obvious exit".

Let's look at the senses.
"making a very obvious exit" means performing or carrying out an exit. Or creating an exit? No, it means "to perform or carry out" - make an exit. Or "to compose or represent" - constitute? No.
Let's check sense 16: sense_key=make%2:36:12:: | definition=perform or carry out | examples=make a decision; make a move
"make a move" is similar to "make an exit".
Let's check sense 36: sense_key=make%2:38:10:: | definition=proceed along a path | synonyms=work | examples=work one's way through the crowd; make one's way into the forest. "make one's way" is similar to "make an exit", but "make an exit" means to leave. Wait, what about sense 16: "perform or carry out" - "make a move".
Is there a sense for "make an exit"?
"make an exit" = to leave. "Make one's way" = proceed along a path.
Let's check sense 16: "make a decision; make a move" - perform or carry out.
Let's check sense 28: "head into a specified direction" - make for the mountains.
Let's check 36: "make one's way" - proceed along a path.
Wait, "make an exit" implies leaving. Is there a sense for "make an exit"?
Maybe "perform or carry out" (16) fits "make a move" and "make an exit" well. Or "constitute the essence of" (34)? No.
Is "make an exit" an idiom? Yes.
What about sense 16? "perform or carry out" | examples=make a decision; make a move. "make an exit" is similar to "make a move".
Let's check sense 5: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur" | "make a stir". Not a stir, an exit.
Let's check sense 3: "make or cause to be or to become" | "make a mess". Not an exit.
Is there a better fit?
Sense 16: "make a move", "make a decision". "Make an exit" falls under this "perform or carry out" sense, acting out a certain type of movement or action.

Let's check the other senses.
Wait, "make an exit" can also mean "leave". Sense 22: "reach a destination, either real or abstract". No, reaching a destination is arriving.
Sense 28: head into a specified direction | synonyms=take | examples=We made for the mountains.
What about 36: proceed along a path | make one's way into the forest.

Could "making a very obvious exit" mean "performing a very obvious exit"? Yes.
I will choose 16.

Target lemma: very
Target surface form: very
Context:
An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation. But there still are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells. At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance. The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would "reopen the wound. "But C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar. "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a <t>very</t> obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says. Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself.

Candidate senses:

3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "very" in the context: "making a very obvious exit"

Here, "very" is used as an intensifier modifying "obvious". This matches sense 1: "used as intensifiers" with examples like "she was very gifted; he played very well".

Sense 2 is "precisely so" as in "on the very next page; he expected the very opposite" - this is a different usage where "very" means "exact" or "precise".

The context clearly shows "very" as an intensifier modifying "obvious", so sense 1 is correct.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "exit" in the context: "here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer."

Let me analyze the candidate senses:

1. exit%1:06:00:: - an opening that permits escape or release (issue, outlet, way out) - This is about a physical opening/hole.
2. exit%1:11:00:: - euphemistic expressions for death (passing, loss, departure, expiration, going, release) - This is about death.
3. exit%1:04:00:: - the act of going out - This is about the action of leaving.

In the context, the ringers are making an "exit" - they are leaving the bell tower, walking down the stairs. This is the act of going out, not a physical opening or death.

The answer is sense 3.

The context is about a church, bell ringers, and people at prayer. The "congregation" refers to the group of people who attend the church and are at prayer.

Sense 1: "a group of people who adhere to a common faith and habitually attend a given church" - this fits perfectly with the church context.
Sense 2: "an assemblage of people or animals or things collected together" - too general.
Sense 3: "the act of congregating" - this is an action, not a noun referring to the people.

The best sense is 1.

reasoning_content:
The context describes a situation where the congregation is "at prayer" during a church service. This means they are engaged in the act of praying/communicating with God.

Sense 1: "the act of communicating with a deity" - this fits "at prayer" as the congregation is engaged in the act of prayer.

Sense 2: "reverent petition to a deity" - this is more about a specific petition/prayer text rather than the act.

Sense 3: "earnest or urgent request" - this is a secular request, not religious.

Sense 4: "a fixed text used in praying" - this is about a specific prayer text, not the act.

Sense 5: "someone who prays to God" - this refers to a person, but the context says "the congregation is at prayer" meaning they are engaged in the activity, not that they are the people who pray.

The phrase "at prayer" means engaged in the act of praying. Sense 1 fits best as it describes "the act of communicating with a deity."

The context is: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says."

Vicar Marshall is expressing in words what he thinks about the situation. He is stating something - describing the situation with the ringers. This is a straightforward case of someone expressing something in words.

Sense 1: express in words - "He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you"
Sense 2: report or maintain - "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime; He said it was too late to intervene in the war"

The vicar is quoting/describing what happens - "So crunch, crunch, crunch..." He's expressing in words what occurs. This is sense 1, the most basic sense of "say" - expressing in words.

Sense 2 (allege/maintain) would be more about claiming something to be true, like reporting. But here he's just describing a scene/expressing in words what happens.

Actually, let me think again. He's saying this - he's expressing in words. The quote is him speaking. Sense 1 is the general "express in words" which fits. Sense 8 is "utter aloud" which is also possible but more about just vocalizing.

Sense 1 seems the best fit - he is expressing in words (stating) what happens with the ringers.

In the context, "Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue" means he acknowledges or confesses that he has mixed feelings. He is declaring something to be true about his own feelings. This matches sense 1: "declare to be true or admit the existence or reality or truth of" with synonyms like "acknowledge" and examples like "He admitted his errors; She acknowledged that she might have forgotten."

So the best sense is sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "mixed" in the phrase "mixed feelings" from the context: "Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself."

Let me analyze the two candidate senses:

1. "mixed" meaning consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds (heterogeneous)
2. "mixed" meaning involving or composed of different races (interracial)

In the context, "mixed feelings" refers to having conflicting or varied emotions about the situation - he has feelings of different kinds because he's both a vicar (who might want quiet during prayer) and a bell-ringer (who needs to walk through during prayer). This is about having an assortment of different feelings, not about race.

Sense 1 fits better here - "mixed feelings" means feelings of different kinds, an assorted set of emotions. Sense 2 about interracial/racial composition doesn't fit at all.

So the answer is sense_index 1.

The target word is "feelings" in the context: "Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself."

Let's analyze the context:
Vicar Marshall has "mixed feelings" about the issue. This means he has conflicting emotions or affective states about it. He is on both sides (vicar and bell-ringer), so he experiences both sides of the argument emotionally.

Let's look at the senses:
1. feeling%1:03:00:: - the experiencing of affective and emotional states. Examples: "she had a feeling of euphoria", "he had terrible feelings of guilt". This fits "mixed feelings" perfectly, as it refers to emotional states.
2. feeling%1:09:03:: - a vague idea in which some confidence is placed. Examples: "what are your feelings about the crisis?". This is more about opinions/beliefs.
3. feeling%1:26:00:: - the general atmosphere of a place or situation.
4. feeling%1:09:01:: - a physical sensation.
5. feeling%1:09:02:: - the sensation produced by pressure receptors.
6. feeling%1:09:00:: - an intuitive understanding of something.

"Mixed feelings" is a common idiom that means experiencing conflicting emotions. This aligns with sense 1: "the experiencing of affective and emotional states".

Wait, could it be sense 2? "what are your feelings about the crisis?" - This asks for opinions. But "mixed feelings" specifically refers to having both positive and negative emotions about something, which is affective/emotional states. The phrase "mixed feelings" strongly points to sense 1.

Let me double-check. "Admits to mixed feelings about this issue" - he has conflicting emotions because he identifies with both sides. This is clearly about affective/emotional states, not vague ideas or opinions. While "feelings about" can sometimes mean opinions, "mixed feelings" is specifically about emotional states (e.g., feeling both happy and sad, or in this case, sympathetic to both the church congregation and the bell-ringers).

So sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "issue" in the context: "Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself."

The context discusses a situation where bell ringers walk down stairs next to the altar during prayer, causing disruption. This is a situation or event that is thought about - a matter, topic, or subject of discussion/debate.

Sense 3 (issue%1:09:00::) = some situation or event that is thought about | synonyms=topic, subject, matter - this fits well as it refers to the situation being discussed.

Sense 1 (issue%1:09:01::) = an important question that is in dispute and must be settled - this could also fit, as it's a dispute about church attendance and the bell tower stairs.

The context mentions a "dust-up over church attendance" and the vicar refusing to talk about it to not "reopen the wound." There's clearly a dispute going on. However, the specific "this issue" refers to the matter of bell ringers walking through during prayer, which Vicar Marshall has mixed feelings about. It's something being thought about and discussed.

Sense 1 emphasizes "in dispute and must be settled" - there is a dispute (dust-up), and it's an important question.
Sense 3 emphasizes "some situation or event that is thought about" - it's a situation being considered.

The word "this issue" here seems to refer to the general situation/matter at hand. The vicar has "mixed feelings" about it, suggesting he's thinking about it rather than it being a question that must be settled.

I think sense 3 (some situation or event that is thought about) is the best fit here, as "this issue" refers to the matter of bell ringers disrupting prayer, which Vicar Marshall is thinking about and has mixed feelings about.

The context is about "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church". Here "sound" refers to the auditory effect produced by the bells.

Sense 3 is about mechanical vibrations transmitted by an elastic medium - more physics-oriented.
Sense 2 is about the subjective sensation of hearing something - but here it's about the sound itself as a thing that draws people, not the subjective sensation.
Sense 4 is about the sudden occurrence of an audible event.

Sense 1 is the best fit. "The sound of bells" is analogous to "the sound of rain on the roof".

reasoning_content:
The context is about church bells at St. Mary's Church. The target sentence is "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church." The bells refer to church bells that ring. The phrase "sound of bells" refers to the sound produced by church bells.

Sense 3: the sound of a bell being struck | synonyms=toll | examples=saved by the bell; she heard the distant toll of church bells

Sense 1: a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck

The target phrase is "The sound of bells" - here "bells" refers to the physical objects (the church bells in the tower), and the sentence talks about "the sound of bells." But the target word itself is "bells" - in "the sound of bells," bells refers to the physical devices that produce sound.

Wait, let me reconsider. The context mentions "the bells have fallen silent," "bell tower," "bell-ringer," "ringers," and "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church." The bells here are church bells - the physical hollow devices made of metal. The sentence "The sound of bells" refers to the sound produced by those physical bells, but the word "bells" itself refers to the physical objects.

Sense 1 (a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck) seems to fit best because "bells" here refers to the church bells as physical objects. The phrase "the sound of bells" means "the sound produced by bells" where bells are the physical instruments.

Sense 3 refers to "the sound of a bell being struck" - this would be the sound itself. But in the phrase "the sound of bells," the word "bells" refers to the physical objects, not the sound. If the sentence were just "bells could be heard in the distance," that might be sense 3, but here it's "the sound of bells" which explicitly separates the sound from the bells (the physical objects).

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church"

Here, "draw" means to attract or pull people into the church, using a metaphor of a net.
Looking at the senses:
- Sense 26: "direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes" synonyms: attract, pull, pull in, draw in. Examples: "Her good looks attract the stares of many men; The ad pulled in many potential customers"
- Sense 16: "bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition" examples: "She was drawn to despair; The President refused to be drawn into delivering an ultimatum"

The phrase "draw people into the church" - here, the sound of bells is a net to attract/bring people into the church.

Sense 26 is about attracting people using psychological power or physical attributes. The sound of bells attracting people fits this well.
Sense 16 is about bringing or leading someone to a certain action or condition. "The President refused to be drawn into delivering an ultimatum" - this is about being led into an action.

"The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church" - the bells serve as a mechanism to attract people. This is similar to sense 26 (attract, pull in, draw in).

Let me think more carefully. "draw people into the church" - the net metaphor suggests pulling/attracting. Sense 26: "direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes" with synonyms attract, pull, pull in, draw in. Examples about attracting stares and customers.

Sense 16: "bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition" - examples about being drawn to despair or drawn into delivering an ultimatum. This is more about leading to a condition or action.

In the context, the sound of bells is like a net that attracts/pulls people into the church. The emphasis is on attraction/pulling in, which fits sense 26 better. "draw people into the church" - drawing them in, attracting them.

Actually, let me reconsider. "draw people into the church" could be either:
- Attracting them (sense 26)
- Leading/bringing them to a certain condition (sense 16)

The metaphor of a "net" suggests pulling/attracting. The sound of bells has a psychological power to attract people. I think sense 26 is the best fit.

Sense 26: sense_key=draw%2:35:06:: | definition=direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes | synonyms=attract, pull, pull in, draw in | examples=Her good looks attract the stares of many men; The ad pulled in many potential customers

Yes, I'll go with 26.

Target lemma: people
Target surface form: people
Context:
At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance. The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would "reopen the wound. "But C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar. "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says. Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself. "The sound of bells is a net to draw <t>people</t> into the church, "he says. "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life. "

reasoning_content:
The target word is "people" in the context: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church,"

Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. (plural) any group of human beings (men or women or children) collectively. Examples: old people; there were at least 200 people in the audience
2. the body of citizens of a state or country. Synonyms: citizenry. Examples: the Spanish people
3. members of a family line. Examples: his people have been farmers for generations
4. the common people generally. Synonyms: multitude, masses, mass, hoi polloi, the great unwashed. Examples: separate the warriors from the mass; power to the people

In the context, the vicar says "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church". This refers to any group of human beings collectively, who are drawn into the church by the sound of bells. It's not specifically the citizenry of a state, nor members of a family line, nor specifically "the masses" or common people (though it could overlap, the primary meaning here is just "any group of human beings").

Sense 1 fits best. It's just referring to people in general who might be attracted to the church.

Sense 4 ("masses" / "the great unwashed") has a specific connotation of the common people, often in a sociological or political context. The vicar is just talking about drawing anyone (people) into the church.

Therefore, sense 1 is the best choice.
