Target lemma: dance
Target surface form: dances
Context:
Like most of the other 6,000 churches in Britain with sets of bells, St. Michael once had its own "band "of ringers, who would herald every Sunday morning and evening service. Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond. The others here today live elsewhere. They belong to a group of 15 ringers -- including two octogenarians and four youngsters in training -- who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia. "To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to scrape, "says Mr. Hammond, a retired water-authority worker. "We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their <t>dances</t>, and they just drift away. "Mr. Hammond worries that old age and the flightiness of youth will diminish the ranks of the East Anglian group that keeps the Aslacton bells pealing.

reasoning_content:
The context is about youngsters who have their "discos and their dances" — these are social events/parties where young people go to dance. The word "dances" here refers to events (parties) rather than the art form or the activity itself.

Let me compare senses 2 and 4:
- Sense 2: "a party of people assembled for dancing"
- Sense 4: "a party for social dancing"

Both seem to fit. "Dances" as social events for young people — like school dances, village dances. These are social dancing parties.

The distinction between sense 2 and sense 4 is subtle. Sense 2 says "a party of people assembled for dancing" and sense 4 says "a party for social dancing." Sense 4 emphasizes "social dancing" which fits the context of youngsters going to discos and dances as social events.

Also, sense 4 is under the cognitive domain (1:11) which relates to social events/gatherings, while sense 2 is under (1:14) which relates to groups of people. Sense 4 seems more appropriate for a "dance" as a social event.

Given the context of "discos and their dances" — these are social events/parties for dancing. Sense 4 "a party for social dancing" fits best.

The context is: "they just drift away."

Here "just" means "simply" or "merely" - they merely drift away. It's indicating that they simply drift away, nothing more.

Sense 1: "and nothing more" with synonyms merely, simply, only, but - examples: "I was merely asking; it is simply a matter of time"

Sense 4: "absolutely" with synonym simply - examples: "I just can't take it anymore; he was just grand as Romeo"

The sentence "they just drift away" - this is more like "they simply drift away" or "they merely drift away." It's not "absolutely" (sense 4). It's sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is about youngsters who "drift away" from bell ringing. They have their discos and dances, and they just drift away. This means they gradually lose interest and leave the activity, moving away from it without a specific purpose or direction.

Looking at the senses:
- Sense 2: "wander from a direct course or at random" - This fits "drift away" meaning they wander off from the set course (bell ringing).
- Sense 3: "move about aimlessly or without any destination" - This is more about physical wandering.
- Sense 5: "live unhurriedly, irresponsibly, or freely" - This could fit the idea of young people drifting around.

The phrase "drift away" here means they gradually lose interest and wander off from the activity of bell ringing. This seems like sense 2 - "wander from a direct course or at random" with the example "don't drift from the set course."

Actually, "drift away" in this context is more figurative - the youngsters are moving away from the activity/commitment. They're not physically moving aimlessly, but rather wandering from the direct course (the set path of bell ringing training). Sense 2 seems most appropriate.

Wait, but it could also be sense 5 - "live unhurriedly, irresponsibly, or freely" - the example "My son drifted around for years in California before going to law school" suggests someone moving through life without clear direction, which could apply to the youngsters who prefer discos and dances over commitment to bell ringing.

Hmm, but "drift away" specifically suggests moving away from something, which aligns better with sense 2's "wander from a direct course." The example "don't drift from the set course" is particularly relevant - the youngsters are drifting from the set course of bell ringing.

I'll go with sense 2.

The context is: "We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away."

"Drift away" here means to leave, to go away from the place or from the activity. The youngsters are leaving the church bell ringing group. They are drifting away from the church/this activity.

Sense 1: "from a particular thing or place or position" - examples: "ran away from the lion", "wanted to get away from there". This fits "drift away" as in moving away from the church/bell-ringing activity/place.

Sense 4: "out of existence" - examples: "the music faded away". "Drift away" could potentially mean they stop coming, so the group fades. But "drift away" is more about physically/socially leaving.

Let's think more. "They just drift away" means they gradually stop participating, they leave the group. This is closest to sense 1 (moving from a particular place/position/thing) - they are going away from the bell-ringing.

Actually, let's reconsider. "Drift away" is a phrasal verb meaning to gradually lose interest or stop being involved, or to leave. The context "they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away" suggests they drift away from the bell-ringing group. This is moving away from a particular thing/place/position.

Sense 1 fits best: "from a particular thing or place or position". They drift away from the bell-ringing activity/group.

Let me check if any other sense fits better. Sense 4 "out of existence" - "the music faded away" - "drift away" could mean they fade away from the group. But the physical/directional sense of "away" as moving from a place is more appropriate here.

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "worries" in the context: "Mr. Hammond worries that old age and the flightiness of youth will diminish the ranks of the East Anglian group that keeps the Aslacton bells pealing."

Let's analyze the context: Mr. Hammond is expressing concern/anxiety about something. He "worries that..." - this means he is anxious or concerned about a potential future event.

Sense 1: "be worried, concerned, anxious, troubled, or uneasy" - example "I worry about my job"
Sense 2: "be concerned with" - synonyms=care - example "I worry about my grades"
Sense 3: "disturb the peace of mind of; afflict with mental agitation or distress" - synonyms=vex - example "I cannot sleep--my daughter's health is worrying me" - this is a transitive sense where something worries someone.

The sentence is "Mr. Hammond worries that old age and the flightiness of youth will diminish the ranks..." Here, "worries" is being used intransitively with a "that" clause. He is the one experiencing worry/concern.

Sense 1 and Sense 2 both seem to fit. Let me look more closely.

Sense 1: "be worried, concerned, anxious, troubled, or uneasy" - this is the general sense of feeling worry.
Sense 2: "be concerned with" with synonym "care" - this seems more about caring about something, being invested in it.

In this context, Mr. Hammond is genuinely anxious/troubled about the future of the bell ringing tradition. He's expressing genuine worry/concern about the diminishing ranks. This fits Sense 1 better - he is worried, anxious, troubled, or uneasy about the situation.

Sense 2 with "care" as a synonym seems more casual, like "I care about my grades" which is a lighter concern.

The context shows he's genuinely troubled: "History, after all, is not on his side" - suggesting real anxiety about the future.

So Sense 1 seems the best fit.
