reasoning_content:
The context is about publishing a booklet for "every vicar in the country".
Here, "country" refers to the territory occupied by a nation (a whole nation/state).
Let's evaluate the senses:
1. country%1:14:00:: - a politically organized body of people under a single government
2. country%1:15:00:: - the territory occupied by a nation
3. country%1:14:01:: - the people who live in a nation or country
4. country%1:15:01:: - an area outside of cities and towns
5. country%1:15:02:: - a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary

"every vicar in the country"
Does it mean the people (sense 3)? "every vicar in the people who live in a nation"
Does it mean the territory (sense 2)? "every vicar in the territory occupied by a nation"
Does it mean the political entity (sense 1)? "every vicar in the politically organized body of people"
Often "in the country" means "in the nation" (sense 2 or 3 or 1).
"every vicar in the country" implies the geographical area or the nation as a whole.
Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" - examples: "the news was announced to the nation".
Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" - examples: "he visited several European countries".
"every vicar in the country" usually means the entire territory or the nation as a whole. Let's look at the senses carefully.
In WordNet, "country" (noun.cognition/state or noun.location):
country%1:15:00:: : "the territory occupied by a nation"; "he returned to the land of his birth"; "he visited several European countries"
country%1:14:00:: : "a politically organized body of people under a single government"; "the state has elected a new president"; "African nations"
country%1:14:01:: : "the people who live in a nation or country"; "a statement that sums up the nation's mood"; "the news was announced to the nation"

"every vicar in the country" - "vicar" is a person located "in" the country. This points more to a territory (sense 2) or the nation as an entity.
Wait, "in the country" usually aligns with the territory sense (sense 2).
Let's consider "every vicar in the country". Is it 2? Yes, "the territory occupied by a nation".
Let's check 3: "the people who live in a nation or country". A vicar is a person, but the phrase "in the country" uses "in" which fits territory (in the land) better than the people sense (among the people).
Therefore, sense 2 seems the best fit for "every vicar in the country".

Let's confirm with another example: "everyone in the country knows that". "country" here is the territory or the nation. If sense 3 is "the people who live in a nation", then "everyone in the country" would mean "everyone among the people who live in the nation", which might fit. But sense 2 is "the territory occupied by a nation", "everyone in the territory". Both make sense.
But wait, usually "in the country" means "within the borders of the nation" -> territory (sense 2).
Let's see if WordNet has a distinct sense for this.
1:14:00:: politically organized body...
1:15:00:: territory occupied by a nation
1:14:01:: people who live in a nation...
1:15:01:: rural area
1:15:02:: particular geographical region...

I will choose sense 2. "every vicar in the country" -> in the territory of the nation.

The target word "entitled" in context: "will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country entitled, 'The Bells in Your Care.'"

Here, "entitled" means the booklet is given the title "The Bells in Your Care." This matches sense 2: "give a title to" with synonyms=title.

Sense 1 is "give the right to" - doesn't fit.
Sense 2 is "give a title to" - fits perfectly.
Sense 3 is "give a title to someone; make someone a member of the nobility" - doesn't fit.

The answer is sense 2.

reasoning_content:
The context is about church bells, ringers, bell ringing, vicars, etc. The target word is "Bells" in the phrase "The Bells in Your Care".

Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. bell%1:06:00:: - a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck
2. bell%1:06:02:: - a push button at an outer door (doorbell, buzzer)

10. bell%1:06:03:: - the flared opening of a tubular device

In the text: "The Bells in Your Care." refers to the physical bells that are rung by ringers in a church. "The sound of bells is a net..." refers to the sound, but the target "Bells" is in the title "The Bells in Your Care", which is a booklet for vicars. Vicars take care of the physical bells.

Wait, sense 1 is "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck". This matches the physical bells in the church.

Sense 3 is "the sound of a bell being struck".
Sense 9 is "a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells... orchestral instrument".

Church bells are hollow devices made of metal that make a ringing sound when struck. Sense 1 fits perfectly.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "Care" in the phrase "The Bells in Your Care".
Context: A booklet for vicars about church bells.
The vicars are responsible for the church and its bells.
Let's evaluate the senses:
1. care%1:04:01:: - the work of providing treatment for or attending to someone or something
2. care%1:09:00:: - judiciousness in avoiding harm or danger
3. care%1:12:01:: - an anxious feeling
4. care%1:12:00:: - a cause for feeling concern
5. care%1:04:02:: - attention and management implying responsibility for safety (synonyms: charge, tutelage, guardianship)
6. care%1:04:00:: - activity involved in maintaining something in good working order (synonyms: maintenance, upkeep)

In the phrase "The Bells in Your Care", "care" refers to the responsibility the vicar has for the bells, or perhaps their maintenance.
Let's look at 5: "attention and management implying responsibility for safety" - "in the care of a bodyguard" -> "in your care".
Let's look at 6: "activity involved in maintaining something in good working order" -> "car care". The booklet is about the bells, perhaps their maintenance.
However, "in your care" strongly points to sense 5 (charge, tutelage, guardianship), which often uses the prepositional phrase "in someone's care". Wait, "The Bells in Your Care" means the bells that are under your responsibility (as a vicar).
Sense 5 definition: "attention and management implying responsibility for safety" | synonyms=charge, tutelage, guardianship | examples=he is in the care of a bodyguard.
Sense 1 definition: "the work of providing treatment for or attending to someone or something"
Sense 6: "activity involved in maintaining something in good working order".

"The Bells in Your Care" - Does it mean the bells under your responsibility (sense 5) or the maintenance of the bells (sense 6)?
Wait, "in your care" is an idiom-like phrase related to being under someone's charge. Sense 5 has the example "he is in the care of a bodyguard". So "in the care of" and "in your care" align with sense 5.
Let's check if sense 5 applies to objects like bells. "The Bells in Your Care". Yes, under your charge.
Is it possible it means maintenance? The booklet is published for vicars to improve relations with ringers, and "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience." The booklet is a guide.
But "in your Care" literally means "under your responsibility/charge". So sense 5 is the best fit.

Let's review the senses again.
1:04:02:: charge, tutelage, guardianship. Example: he is in the care of a bodyguard.
1:04:00:: maintenance, upkeep. Example: he wrote the manual on car care.
"Your Care" matches the "in the care of" structure of sense 5.

Let's double check.
"care" as a noun.
"Your Care" = your charge.
Sense 5 is "attention and management implying responsibility for safety".
The title of the booklet is "The Bells in Your Care".
It matches the "charge" sense perfectly.

Therefore, sense_index is 5.

The target word is "Says" in the context: "Says Mr. Baldwin, "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience. ""

Let's look at the context. "Says Mr. Baldwin" is an inverted way of reporting someone's speech. It means Mr. Baldwin states or expresses something in words.

Candidate senses:
1. express in words (state, tell) - "He said that he wanted to marry her"
2. report or maintain (allege, aver) - "He said it was too late to intervene"
3. express a supposition (suppose)
4. have or contain a certain wording or form (read)

7. communicate nonverbally
8. utter aloud
9. state as one's opinion or judgement; declare
10. recite or repeat a fixed text
11. indicate

The context is reporting a statement made by Mr. Baldwin. "Says Mr. Baldwin, 'We recognize...'" is a standard journalistic way of reporting what someone said. This fits sense 1: "express in words" or state, with the example "He said that he wanted to marry her". It's a straightforward reporting of speech.

Sense 2 (allege/maintain) could be considered, but that usually implies asserting something as fact or making a claim that might be disputed. Here, Mr. Baldwin is just making a statement about their recognition. Sense 1 is the most general and fits best.

Let's choose sense 1.

The target word is "recognize" in the sentence: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

Let me analyze the context. Mr. Baldwin is saying "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience." This means they are acknowledging or being fully aware of the fact that bell ringing may no longer be a high priority in church life. They are acknowledging this reality.

Looking at the senses:

1. accept (someone) to be what is claimed or accept his power and authority - This is about accepting authority or claims about someone. Not quite right.

2. be fully aware or cognizant of - This fits well. "We recognize that..." means "We are fully aware that..." This is about acknowledging a fact or reality.

3. detect with the senses - No, this is about perceiving something visually or through senses.

4. perceive to be the same - No, this is about identifying something as familiar.

5. grant credentials to - No, this is about official recognition of institutions.

6. express greetings upon meeting someone - No.

7. express obligation, thanks, or gratitude for - No, this is about acknowledging kindness.

8. exhibit recognition for (an antigen or a substrate) - No, biological sense.

9. show approval or appreciation of - No, this is about recognizing someone's work or achievement.

Sense 2 seems most appropriate. "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority..." means "We are fully aware/cognizant that we may no longer have as high a priority..."

The synonyms for sense 2 include "realize" and "realise" which fits well - "We realize that we may no longer have as high a priority..."

So the answer is sense_index 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "no" in the context: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

Let's look at the context: "we may no longer have as high a priority"

Here, "no longer" is used to indicate that something is not the case anymore, to a certain degree.

Let me look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=no%4:02:02:: | definition=referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present | synonyms=no more | examples=he was no heavier than a child
2. sense_key=no%4:02:01:: | definition=not in any degree or manner; not at all | examples=he is no better today
3. sense_key=no%4:02:00:: | definition=used to express refusal or denial or disagreement etc or especially to emphasize a negative statement | examples=no, you are wrong

The phrase "no longer" suggests "not anymore" or "no more".

Sense 1 has synonym "no more" and definition "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present". The example is "he was no heavier than a child."

Sense 2 has definition "not in any degree or manner; not at all" with example "he is no better today."

In the context "we may no longer have as high a priority", "no longer" means "not anymore" which is close to "no more". Sense 1 has synonym "no more".

But let me think about this more carefully. "No longer" in "we may no longer have as high a priority" - this is about the degree to which a quality (priority) is present. The phrase "no longer" means "not for more time" or "no more" in time.

Sense 1's definition "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present" with synonym "no more" and example "he was no heavier than a child" - this seems to be about comparison of degree.

Sense 2's definition "not in any degree or manner; not at all" with example "he is no better today" - this is also about degree, but more emphatically negative.

In the context "we may no longer have as high a priority in church life" - the "no longer" is modifying "have" - it's about the duration/time, not the degree of a quality. "No longer" means "not anymore" (in time).

Hmm, but looking at the WordNet senses provided, I need to pick the best fit.

Sense 1 has synonym "no more" which is closest to "no longer" (both mean "not anymore"). The definition "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present" - in this case, the quality is "priority" and "no longer" is saying that this quality (high priority) is no longer present to the same degree.

Actually, "no longer" = "no more" in terms of time. Sense 1 has synonym "no more" and the example is about degree ("he was no heavier than a child"). But "no longer" in context is about time, not degree.

Wait, let me reconsider. "No longer have as high a priority" - the "no" is part of "no longer" which means "not anymore."

Sense 1: "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present" with synonym "no more" - this could fit because "no longer" is essentially "no more" (in time), and it's about the degree to which the quality of priority is present.

Sense 2: "not in any degree or manner; not at all" - "he is no better today" - this is about negating a quality entirely.

In the context, "we may no longer have as high a priority" - they might still have some priority, just not as high. So it's not "not at all" (sense 2), but rather about the degree of the quality (sense 1).

I think sense 1 is the best fit because:
- The synonym "no more" matches "no longer"
- It's about the degree to which a quality (priority) is present
- They may still have some priority, just not as high - this is about degree, not absolute negation

So the answer is sense 1.

Looking at the context: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

The phrase "church life and experience" refers to the institutional and communal life of the church as a body of Christians—their shared activities, worship, and priorities. The discussion is national in scope (vicars across the country, theological colleges, the Central Council), referring to the church as a broader Christian institution rather than a specific building (sense 2), a service (sense 3), or a single local congregation (sense 4). Baldwin is speaking about bell ringing's place within the life of the church as a Christian body with its own beliefs and forms of worship.

{"sense_index": 1}

reasoning_content:
The target word is "church" in the sentence: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

The phrase is "church life and experience." This refers to the life and experience within the church as an institution or community - the religious organization and its activities.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. church%1:14:00:: - one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship (Christian church)
2. church%1:06:00:: - a place for public (especially Christian) worship (church building)
3. church%1:04:00:: - a service conducted in a house of worship (church service)
4. church%1:14:01:: - the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church

The phrase "church life and experience" refers to the life of the church as an institution/community. It's about the broader church organization and its role in people's lives.

Sense 1 refers to a denomination or group of Christians with shared beliefs (like "the Catholic Church").
Sense 4 refers to the body of people who attend a particular local church.

"Church life and experience" is about the institutional life of the church - its activities, its role in the community, its priorities. This seems to be about the church as an organization/institution.

The context is about bell ringers and their place in church life. Baldwin is saying that bell ringing may no longer be a high priority in the church's life and experience. This refers to the church as an institution - its priorities, its activities, its community life.

Sense 1 (one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship) seems too specific to a denomination.

Sense 4 (the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church) is about the congregation/community of a specific local church. But here, "church life" is being used more broadly about the institutional church and its priorities. The context mentions vicars across the country, theological colleges, the Central Council - this is about the church as a broader institution.

Actually, looking more carefully, "church life and experience" could refer to the life and experience of the church community - the body of people. Sense 4 talks about "the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church."

But the context is broader than a single local church. It's about the church nationally.

Hmm, let me reconsider. "Church life" as a phrase typically refers to the activities, culture, and experience of being part of a church community. It's about the communal/institutional life.

Sense 1 is about a denomination/group of Christians with their own beliefs. The Church of England would be an example.
Sense 4 is about the congregation of a local church.

"We may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience" - this means bell ringing may not be as important in the life of the church (as an institution/community).

I think sense 1 fits best because it's about the church as a Christian institution/organization (like the Church of England), and "church life" refers to the life and activities of that institution. The discussion is national in scope, involving vicars across the country, theological colleges, and a central council.

Actually, wait. Let me reconsider sense 4 again. "The body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church" - the example is "our church is hosting a picnic next week." This is about the local congregation.

But in this context, "church life" is being used to describe the institutional and communal life of the church. It's not about a specific building (sense 2), not about a service (sense 3), and it's broader than just a local congregation (sense 4).

I think sense 1 is the best fit. The church here refers to the Christian church as an institution (specifically the Church of England in this context), and "church life" refers to the activities and priorities within that institution.

Let me reconsider once more. The phrase "church life and experience" - "church" here is used as a modifier/adjective for "life." It's describing the kind of life - life related to the church.

In the broader context, Baldwin is talking about bell ringers' place in the church. The church as an institution has various priorities, and bell ringing is one activity within "church life." This is about the church as a religious institution/organization.

I'll go with sense 1 - the church as a group/institution of Christians.

Wait, but I should also consider whether "church" here might be more about the local church community. "Church life and experience" is a common phrase that refers to the communal life of a church - its activities, worship, fellowship, etc. This could be at either the local or institutional level.

But looking at the context again - this is a national discussion about bell ringers and their relationship with vicars across the country. The "church" here is the broader institution.

I'll go with sense 1.

Actually, I'm now second-guessing myself. Let me think about this more carefully.

"Church life and experience" - what does this phrase typically mean?

It usually refers to the life of the church community - the activities, worship, fellowship, service, etc. that make up the experience of being part of a church. This is more about the community of believers than about a denomination.

Sense 4: "the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church" - example: "our church is hosting a picnic next week"

Sense 1: "one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship" - synonyms: Christian church

Hmm, sense 1 seems to be about a denomination (like the Catholic Church, the Methodist Church, etc.).

In this context, "church life" refers to the life and activities of the church community - the people, the worship, the activities like bell ringing. This seems closer to sense 4 (the body of people) or sense 1 (the institution).

But the context is about the church nationally, not just one local church. Sense 4 specifies "a particular local church."

I think sense 1 is the better fit because it's about the church as a broader institution/group of Christians, and "church life" refers to the life and priorities of that institution.

Let me finalize: sense 1.

Hmm, but actually I want to reconsider one more time.

The key phrase is "church life and experience." In this context, Baldwin is saying that bell ringing may no longer be a high priority in the church's life. The "church" here is being used to describe the institution/community and its activities.

Looking at the senses:
- Sense 1: a denomination/group of Christians with their own beliefs and forms of worship
- Sense 4: the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church

The context is about the Church of England (vicars, theological colleges, bell ringing in churches). "Church life" refers to the activities and priorities within the church as an institution.

I think sense 1 is the best fit because:
1. It's about the church as a Christian institution/group
2. "Church life" refers to the life and activities of that institution
3. The context is national/broad, not limited to one local church
4. Sense 4 is specifically about a "particular local church" which is too narrow

Final answer: sense 1.

Wait, I want to reconsider one more time. Let me look at the context more carefully.

"We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

This is Baldwin speaking on behalf of bell ringers. He's saying that bell ringers recognize they may not be as high a priority in the church's life. The "church" here is the institution - the Church of England or the Christian church more broadly.

"Church life and experience" = the life and experience of the church as an institution/community.

This is about the church as a body/institution, not a building (sense 2) or a service (sense 3).

Between senses 1 and 4:
- Sense 1: a denomination/group of Christians with shared beliefs and worship
- Sense 4: the congregation of a local church

The context is national and institutional. Sense 1 fits better.

But wait - "church life" is a phrase that often refers to the communal life of believers. It's about the experience of being part of a church community. This could be sense 4 if we interpret "church" as the community of believers.

However, sense 4 specifically says "a particular local church," which is too narrow for this context.

I'll stick with sense 1.

Actually, let me reconsider sense 4 one more time. The definition is "the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church." But the example is "our church is hosting a picnic next week" - which shows "church" being used to refer to the community.

In the phrase "church life and experience," "church" could be referring to the community of believers. But the context is broader than a single local church.

Hmm, I think the key question is: does "church" in "church life" refer to:
a) The church as an institution/denomination (sense 1)
b) The local church community (sense 4)
c) The church as the body of believers more generally

The context involves vicars across the country, theological colleges, and a national council. This is about the church as an institution, not a single local community.

I'll go with sense 1.

Final answer: {"sense_index": 1}

The context is about "church life" - "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

This refers to the characteristic state or mode of living within the church context. It's about the social and institutional life of the church.

Sense 1: "a characteristic state or mode of living" with examples "social life; city life" - This fits "church life" well, as it refers to the characteristic mode of living within the church community.

Sense 2: "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities" - This is more general about human existence.

Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual" - This is about an individual's life course.

In the context "church life and experience", "life" refers to the characteristic state or mode of living within the church - the social and institutional activities that characterize the church. This aligns well with sense 1 ("social life; city life").

So the answer should be sense_index 1.

The target word is "experience" in the context: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."

Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. experience%1:09:01:: - the accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities (a man of experience)
2. experience%1:09:00:: - the content of direct observation or participation in an event (he had a religious experience)
3. experience%1:11:00:: - an event as apprehended (a surprising experience)

The context is about bell ringers and their place in church life. Mr. Baldwin says they recognize they may no longer have as high a priority in "church life and experience."

"Church life and experience" - this seems to refer to the collective experience of being part of the church, the lived experience of church community.

Sense 1 is about accumulated knowledge/skill - like "a man of experience." This doesn't quite fit because it's not about someone having expertise.

Sense 2 is about the content of direct observation or participation in an event - "religious experience." This could fit because "church life and experience" could refer to the religious/spiritual experience of church participation.

Sense 3 is about an event as apprehended - "a surprising experience." This is more about a specific event.

The phrase "church life and experience" seems to refer to the broader concept of lived experience within the church community - the spiritual and communal experience of being part of church life. This aligns most closely with sense 2, which is about the content of direct observation or participation, particularly with the example of "religious experience."

Actually, let me reconsider. "Church life and experience" - this is a compound phrase where "experience" refers to the spiritual/religious experience that church provides. The example for sense 2 is "he had a religious experience" which aligns well with the church context.

Sense 2 seems the best fit.

The target word is "attacking" in the context: "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers."

Let me analyze the context. Mr. Baldwin is dealing with a problem - the lack of ringers. He's "attacking" this problem, meaning he's working on it, tackling it. This is about turning his energies to a task/problem.

Looking at the senses:
1. attack%2:33:00:: - launch an attack or assault on; begin hostilities or start warfare with - military context
2. attack%2:32:00:: - attack in speech or writing - verbal/written attack
3. attack%2:33:01:: - take the initiative and go on the offensive - military/sports

4. attack%2:33:02:: - attack someone physically or emotionally - physical/emotional assault
5. attack%2:30:00:: - set to work upon; turn one's energies vigorously to a task - tackling a problem
6. attack%2:29:00:: - begin to injure - disease/damage context

The example "I attacked the problem as soon as I got out of bed" matches what Mr. Baldwin is doing with the lack of ringers problem, so sense 5 is the correct classification.

The target word is "problem" in the context: "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers."

Sense 1: a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved (synonyms: job). Example: "she and her husband are having problems".
Sense 2: a question raised for consideration or solution. Example: "our homework consisted of ten problems to solve".
Sense 3: a source of difficulty (synonyms: trouble). Example: "one trouble after another delayed the job; what's the problem?"

In the context, "lack of ringers" is a source of difficulty/trouble that Mr. Baldwin is attacking.
Sense 1 is about a "state of difficulty that needs to be resolved". Example: "having problems".
Sense 3 is about a "source of difficulty". Example: "what's the problem?". "lack of ringers" is a source of difficulty. It perfectly aligns with "trouble".

Let's look at the synonyms. Sense 3 has "trouble".
"lack of ringers" is a source of difficulty. Sense 3 seems to fit well.

Wait, sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved". Example: "it is always a job to contact him".
Sense 3: "a source of difficulty". Example: "one trouble after another delayed the job".
"Lack of ringers" is a source of difficulty. It's a "trouble".
I will choose sense 3.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "says" in the context: "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring."

The subject is "survey" (a document/report). The survey "says that..." - it reports or maintains a finding.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. express in words (state, tell) - "He said that he wanted to marry her"
2. report or maintain (allege, aver) - "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime; He said it was too late to intervene in the war"
3. express a supposition (suppose) - "Let us say that he did not tell the truth"
4. have or contain a certain wording or form (read) - "The passage reads as follows; What does the law say?"
5. give instructions (order, tell, enjoin)
6. pronounce, articulate
7. communicate nonverbally
8. utter aloud
9. state as one's opinion or judgement
10. recite or repeat a fixed text
11. indicate - "The clock says noon"

The survey "says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers..." - This is a report/document stating a finding.

Sense 2 (report or maintain) seems to fit well: "He said it was too late to intervene in the war" - reporting/maintaining a claim.

Sense 4 (have or contain a certain wording or form) could also fit: "What does the law say?" - a document containing information. But the example "The passage reads as follows" suggests more about the wording/form of a text, whereas here the survey is reporting a finding/claim.

Sense 1 (express in words) is the most general sense - "He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you" - simply expressing something in words.

The survey is reporting a finding - "One survey says that..." This is closest to sense 2 (report or maintain) with synonyms "allege, aver" and examples like "He said it was too late to intervene in the war." A survey reports/maintains a finding based on data.

However, sense 4 could also apply since a survey is a document. "What does the law say?" is similar to "One survey says that..." But the example for sense 4 is about the wording/form ("The passage reads as follows"), and the synonym is "read" - this is more about what a text literally contains in its wording.

I think sense 2 (report or maintain) is the best fit. A survey reports findings - "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers..." The survey is reporting/maintaining a claim based on its data.

Actually, let me reconsider. The phrase "One survey says that..." is very common and general. It could be sense 1 (express in words) which is the most basic sense of "say." But the specific context of a survey reporting findings aligns well with sense 2 (report or maintain).

Looking at the examples more carefully:
- Sense 1: "He said that he wanted to marry her" - personal expression
- Sense 2: "He said it was too late to intervene in the war" - reporting/maintaining a claim, often about facts
- Sense 4: "What does the law say?" - a document's content

A survey is a report that maintains findings. "One survey says that..." is reporting a finding. Sense 2 seems most appropriate.

But wait - sense 4 with the example "What does the law say?" is also about a document stating something. A survey is a document. The difference is that sense 4 focuses on the wording/form (synonym "read"), while sense 2 focuses on reporting/maintaining (synonyms "allege, aver").

In the context, "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers..." - the survey is reporting a finding, maintaining a claim based on data. This aligns with sense 2 (report or maintain).

I'll go with sense 2.

The target word is "only" in the context: "...of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring."

Here, "only" is used to indicate that out of 100,000, merely 40,000 still ring. It means "and nothing more" or "just" — emphasizing the smallness of the number. This matches sense 1: "and nothing more" with synonyms merely, simply, just, but.

Let me check sense 2: "without any others being included or involved" with synonyms entirely, exclusively, solely, alone. This would be more like "only 40,000 of them still ring" meaning exclusively 40,000 — but that's not quite right. The sense here is about the small quantity, "just 40,000."

So sense 1 is the best fit.
