The context describes "five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes" in a church tower. Here, "women" refers to adult female persons, as opposed to men, who are ringing bells.

Sense 1: "an adult female person (as opposed to a man)" - This fits perfectly, as the text mentions "five men and women", clearly contrasting male and female adults.
Sense 2: "a female person who plays a significant role (wife or mistress or girlfriend)" - Not applicable.
Sense 3: "a human female employed to do housework" - Not applicable.
Sense 4: "women as a class" - While "women" here is plural, it refers to specific individual women in the tower, not women as a class or concept.

Sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The context is: "five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells"

This is about pulling on ropes. They are applying force to ropes to cause the bells to move (ring).

Sense 4: "apply force so as to cause motion towards the source of the motion" with examples "Pull the rope; Pull the handle towards you" - this fits very well, especially with the example "Pull the rope."

Sense 1: "cause to move by pulling" with examples "draw a wagon; pull a sled" - this is about moving objects.

Sense 4 specifically mentions "Pull the rope" as an example, and the definition is "apply force so as to cause motion towards the source of the motion." In change-ringing, the bellringers pull on ropes to ring the bells. They are applying force to the ropes.

Sense 4 is the best fit.

The target word is "same" in the context: "five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells that first sounded here in 1614."

The key phrase is "the same five bells that first sounded here in 1614." This means the identical bells, the very same physical bells from 1614. This is about identity - they are the same physical objects.

Sense 1: "same in identity" with examples "the same man I saw yesterday; never wore the same dress twice" - this fits perfectly. The bells are the identical bells from 1614.

Sense 2: "closely similar or comparable in kind or quality or quantity or degree" - this would be for things that are similar but not identical.

Sense 3: "equal in amount or value" - not applicable here.

Sense 4: "unchanged in character or nature" - not applicable here.

The answer is sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context is about church bells that are rung for change-ringing, specifically "five bells that first sounded here in 1614" and "the peal of bells." These are physical bells in a church tower - hollow devices made of metal that make a ringing sound when struck.

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

Sense 3 is about "the sound of a bell being struck" - but the context refers to physical bells being pulled with ropes: "five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells that first sounded here in 1614." This clearly refers to the physical objects, not the sound.

So sense 1 is the best choice.

reasoning_content:
The context is about bells that "first sounded here in 1614". The bells are being caused to make a sound by the ringers pulling on ropes. The phrase "first sounded here" means the bells were first rung/caused to make sound here.

Sense 6: "cause to sound" with examples "sound the bell; sound a certain note" - This fits well because the bells are being caused to sound.

Sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound" - This could also fit as the bells themselves make sound.

Looking at the sentence: "five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells that first sounded here in 1614."

The subject of "sounded" is "five bells". The bells sounded. The bells themselves make a sound when rung. But the bells are being rung by people pulling ropes.

Sense 6 "cause to sound" with example "sound the bell" would be transitive - someone sounds the bell. Here, the bells "sounded" - the bells are the subject, not the object. So this is intransitive.

Sense 2 "make a certain noise or sound" - intransitive, the bells make sound. This fits better grammatically.

Sense 3 "give off a certain sound or sounds" - also intransitive. Example "This record sounds scratchy" - this seems more about the quality of sound.

Sense 2 seems best: the bells make a certain noise/sound. "The gun went bang" - the gun makes a sound. The bells sounded = the bells made a sound.

I'll go with sense 2.

Analysis of the context: "the same five bells that first sounded here in 1614."
"here" refers to the physical place (the church tower in Aslacton, England) where the bells first sounded.
Sense 1 fits perfectly: "in or at this place". The bells sounded in this place.
Sense 3 is "to this place" (directional, like "come here"). Not applicable here.
Sense 4 is "at this time; now". Not applicable (1614 is the time).
Sense 2 is "in this circumstance". Not applicable.

So the best sense is sense_index 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "discordant" in the context: "But there is also a discordant, modern note in Aslacton..."

The context describes a scene of rural England with church bells. The "discordant, modern note" refers to something modern that is out of place with the ancient, harmonious setting. It's describing something that clashes with the harmony of the scene.

Sense 1: "not in agreement or harmony" - example: "views discordant with present-day ideas"
Sense 2: "lacking in harmony" - synonyms: disharmonious, dissonant, inharmonic

The word is used to describe a "modern note" that is discordant with the ancient, peaceful scene. This is more about being out of harmony with the surroundings, not about musical harmony per se, but the metaphor of a "note" being "discordant" relates to both senses.

However, looking more carefully: "there is also a discordant, modern note" - this uses the metaphor of a musical note that is discordant (out of harmony) with the rest of the scene. The sense here is about something that lacks harmony with its surroundings, that clashes.

Sense 2 is about "lacking in harmony" with synonyms like "dissonant, inharmonic" - this seems more musical/aesthetic.
Sense 1 is "not in agreement or harmony" - this is more about disagreement or being out of accord.

The context is about a "modern note" that is discordant - it's a note (musical metaphor) that doesn't harmonize with the ancient setting. This could be either sense, but the use of "note" as a musical metaphor and the idea of something being out of harmony with the pastoral scene suggests sense 2 might be more appropriate.

Actually, let me reconsider. The "discordant, modern note" is something that is out of place, not in agreement with the rest of the harmonious scene. Sense 1 emphasizes "not in agreement or harmony" which fits the idea of something being out of place or not fitting with the rest. Sense 2 is more specifically about lacking harmony in a musical or aesthetic sense.

The word is used metaphorically here - a "note" that is "discordant" with the overall harmony of the scene. The musical metaphor (note, peal of bells) suggests the harmony-related sense. But the meaning is that this modern element doesn't agree with or fit the ancient setting.

I think sense 1 is more appropriate because it's about being "not in agreement or harmony" with the context/surroundings, which is exactly what's being described - a modern note that doesn't fit with the ancient, harmonious setting. The example "views discordant with present-day ideas" shows this usage of being out of agreement with something.

Actually, I'm second-guessing myself. Let me think again.

The sentence says "there is also a discordant, modern note in Aslacton." The word "discordant" modifies "note" - it's describing a note that is discordant. In music, a discordant note is one that is dissonant, lacking in harmony. The metaphor extends to something that is out of harmony with its surroundings.

Sense 2: "lacking in harmony" with synonyms "disharmonious, dissonant, inharmonic" - this is the musical/aesthetic sense of discordant.
Sense 1: "not in agreement or harmony" - this is more about disagreement, being at odds.

The context is literary and uses musical imagery (bells, peal, note). The "discordant note" is something that clashes with the harmony of the scene. This seems to fit sense 2 better - it's about lacking harmony, being dissonant.

But wait - the "discordant, modern note" isn't literally a musical note. It's a metaphorical "note" - meaning an element or aspect. And "discordant" here means it doesn't fit with, isn't in agreement with, the rest of the scene. This might be sense 1.

Hmm, let me look at the examples again:
- Sense 1: "views discordant with present-day ideas" - this shows discordant used to mean "not in agreement with"
- Sense 2: no examples given, but synonyms are "disharmonious, dissonant, inharmonic"

The context: "there is also a discordant, modern note" - the "note" is a modern element that is discordant (out of harmony) with the ancient setting.

I think the key question is whether "discordant" here means:
(a) not in agreement with the surroundings (sense 1)
(b) lacking in harmony, dissonant (sense 2)

Given the musical context (bells, peal, note) and the literary quality of the passage, I think the author is using "discordant" in a way that evokes both meanings, but primarily in the sense of something that is out of harmony with its surroundings - which could be either sense.

Actually, I think sense 1 is the better fit. The "discordant note" is something that is not in agreement or harmony with the rest of the scene - it's a modern element that clashes with the ancient, pastoral setting. The word "note" here is used metaphorically (as in "a note of discord" or "a sour note"), and "discordant" means it doesn't fit, it's not in agreement with the harmony of the scene.

Let me reconsider one more time. The passage is about church bells and their harmonious peal. A "discordant note" in this context specifically evokes the idea of a musical note that is dissonant, out of tune, lacking in harmony. The musical metaphor is central. Sense 2 with its synonyms "dissonant, inharmonic" captures this musical/aesthetic quality.

But the "modern note" isn't actually a sound - it's something else (perhaps a modern intrusion into the ancient setting). So "discordant" is being used metaphorically to mean "out of place, not fitting in, not in agreement with the surroundings."

I think I'll go with sense 1, because the core meaning here is about something being "not in agreement or harmony" with its context - a modern element that doesn't fit the ancient, harmonious scene. The musical metaphor (note) is just the vehicle for expressing this.

Wait, but sense 2 says "lacking in harmony" which could also apply to something that lacks harmony with its surroundings. And the synonyms "dissonant, inharmonic" are more specifically about disharmony.

Let me look at this from a different angle. In WordNet:
- Sense 1 (discordant%3:00:00::) is in the cognitive domain (3), meaning it's about abstract concepts - "not in agreement or harmony"
- Sense 2 (discordant%5:00:00:inharmonious:00) is in the sense domain (5), relating to perception/sensation - "lacking in harmony" with musical synonyms

The context uses "discordant" to describe a "note" - but this note is metaphorical, not literal. It's about a modern element that is out of place. The meaning is closer to "not in agreement" with the setting.

I'll go with sense 1.

Actually, I just realized I should think about this more carefully. The sentence says "there is also a discordant, modern note in Aslacton." This could be paraphrased as "there is a modern note that is discordant" or "there is a note of discord that is modern."

The "note" is metaphorical - it refers to an element or aspect of Aslacton that is modern and discordant. "Discordant" here means it clashes with, is out of harmony with, the rest of the scene.

Looking at the two senses:
1. "not in agreement or harmony" - views discordant with present-day ideas
2. "lacking in harmony" - disharmonious, dissonant, inharmonic

Both could work, but I think sense 1 is more appropriate because:
- The example "views discordant with present-day ideas" shows the usage of "discordant" meaning "not in agreement with" something
- In the context, the modern note is "not in agreement" with the ancient, harmonious setting
- Sense 2 seems more specifically about musical or aesthetic disharmony (dissonant, inharmonic)

But I could also argue for sense 2 because:
- The context is rich with musical imagery (bells, peal, note)
- "Discordant note" is a musical metaphor
- The modern element "lacks harmony" with the rest of the scene

Hmm, I think I'll go with sense 1. The word is being used to mean "not in agreement or harmony" with the setting, and the example in sense 1 ("views discordant with present-day ideas") shows this exact pattern of usage - X is discordant with Y.

Final answer: sense 1.

The context is about a "discordant, modern note" in Aslacton. The sentence says "there is also a discordant, modern note in Aslacton". This is metaphorical - referring to a characteristic emotional quality or atmosphere, not a literal musical note, written note, etc.

Looking at the senses:
- Sense 5: "a characteristic emotional quality" with examples "it ended on a sour note; there was a note of gaiety in her manner"

The phrase "discordant, modern note" fits well with "a characteristic emotional quality" - similar to "sour note" in the example.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "enjoying" in the context: "it can not be heard by the church-goers enjoying the peal of bells this cool autumn evening."

The church-goers are listening to and appreciating the peal of bells. They are deriving pleasure from the sound of the bells.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in | synonyms=bask, relish, savor, savour | examples=She relished her fame and basked in her glory
2. have benefit from | examples=enjoy privileges
3. get pleasure from | synonyms=love | examples=I love cooking
4. have for one's benefit | examples=The industry enjoyed a boom
5. take delight in | synonyms=delight, revel | examples=he delights in his granddaughter

The context describes church-goers who are enjoying (listening to and appreciating) the peal of bells. This is about deriving pleasure from the experience of hearing the bells.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate: "derive or receive pleasure from; get enjoyment from; take pleasure in" - the church-goers are taking pleasure in the sound of the bells.

Sense 3 is also about getting pleasure from, but with synonym "love" and example "I love cooking" - this seems more about loving an activity.

Sense 5 is "take delight in" with synonyms "delight, revel" - this could also fit, as the church-goers are delighting in the peal of bells.

Between senses 1 and 5, sense 1 seems more general and fits better with the context of enjoying a sensory experience (the peal of bells). The example for sense 1 is about relishing fame and basking in glory, which is about savoring an experience. Sense 5's example is about delighting in a person (granddaughter), which is more personal.

I'll go with sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The context describes church bells being rung, with the sound cascading from the tower, and mentions "peal of bells." The bells are physical objects in the church tower that are rung by pulling ropes.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. bell%1:06:00:: - a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck
3. bell%1:11:00:: - the sound of a bell being struck | synonyms=toll | examples="she heard the distant toll of church bells"

The context says "the peal of bells" - this could refer to the sound of bells. However, the broader context discusses the physical bells in the tower, with people pulling ropes attached to them. The target word is "bells" in the phrase "peal of bells."

A "peal of bells" typically refers to the sound made by the bells, but it can also refer to the bells themselves. The example for sense 3 includes "she heard the distant toll of church bells" which is similar to "peal of bells."

However, sense 1 refers to the physical device, and the context heavily emphasizes the physical bells - "five bells that first sounded here in 1614," "pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells," "sets of bells."

The phrase "peal of bells" - a peal is a ringing of bells, so "peal of bells" refers to the sound produced by the bells. But the word "bells" here still refers to the physical objects.

Actually, let me reconsider. "Peal of bells" - the peal is the sound, and bells refers to the physical objects producing the sound. So "bells" here refers to the physical devices.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck."

But wait, sense 3's example includes "she heard the distant toll of church bells" - in this example, "bells" refers to the physical objects too, not the sound. The synonym "toll" and the definition "the sound of a bell being struck" describe the sense, but the example shows the word "bells" still referring to physical objects.

Hmm, this is tricky. Let me think about this more carefully.

In WordNet, sense 3 (bell%1:11:00::) is defined as "the sound of a bell being struck" with synonym "toll" and example "she heard the distant toll of church bells." This seems to be about the sound itself.

In the context "peal of bells," the word "bells" refers to the physical bells. The "peal" is the sound. So "bells" should be sense 1.

Also, the broader context is about the physical bells in the church tower - people pulling ropes, the bells that first sounded in 1614, etc.

I'll go with sense 1.

The target word is "evening" in the context: "...this cool autumn evening."

Let's look at the context. The text describes a scene in rural England with a church, bells, parishioners, and mentions "this cool autumn evening." It's describing the time of day. "he enjoyed the evening light across the lake" from sense 1 fits the atmospheric description of a "cool autumn evening" with daylight decreasing.
Sense 1 is "the latter part of the day (the period of decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall)".
Sense 2 is "a later concluding time period" (e.g., evening of the Roman Empire). Not applicable.
Sense 3 is "the early part of night (from dinner until bedtime) spent in a special way" (e.g., an evening at the opera). Not applicable.

The context "this cool autumn evening" clearly refers to the time of day, specifically the latter part of the day.

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.

Here, "most" is used with "of the other 6,000 churches" - churches are count nouns. The phrase "most of the other 6,000 churches" refers to the greatest number of churches.

Sense 1: (superlative of `many' used with count nouns) quantifier meaning the greatest in number - examples: "who has the most apples?; most people like eggs"

Sense 2: the superlative of `much' that can be used with mass nouns; a quantifier meaning the greatest in amount or extent or degree - examples: "made the most money he could; what attracts the most attention?"

"Churches" is a count noun. "Most of the other 6,000 churches" means the greatest number of churches. This aligns with sense 1.

The target lemma is "church" with surface form "churches".
The context is: "Like most of the other 6,000 <t>churches</t> in Britain with sets of bells, St. Michael once had its own "band "of ringers..."

Here, "churches" refers to physical buildings that have sets of bells. "St. Michael once had its own 'band' of ringers" also points to the physical building or the local church as an institution, but "6000 churches in Britain with sets of bells" heavily emphasizes the physical buildings, as bells are in the towers of buildings.

Let's check the senses:
1. one of the groups of Christians (denomination) - no
2. a place for public (especially Christian) worship (church building) - fits "6000 churches with sets of bells".
3. a service conducted in a house of worship - no
4. the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church - no

Sense 2 is the physical building.
Context says "6000 churches in Britain with sets of bells".
Therefore, sense 2 is the best.

The target word is "bells" in the context of church bells that are rung by pulling ropes, sounding from a tower, calling faithful to evensong, peal of bells, sets of bells in churches.
Sense 1: bell%1:06:00:: - a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck
Sense 3: bell%1:11:00:: - the sound of a bell being struck (synonyms: toll, examples: distant toll of church bells)
Sense 9: bell%1:06:04:: - a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells that are struck with a hammer; used as an orchestral instrument (synonyms: chime, gong)

The text mentions: "the sound of bells cascading from its tower", "five bells that first sounded here", "sets of bells", "peal of bells".
These are physical bells in a church tower. Sense 1 describes the physical object (a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck). Sense 3 describes the *sound* of a bell. The target word "sets of bells" refers to the physical objects, not just the sound. "five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells". Thus, it refers to the physical hollow metal devices.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
Let me analyze the context carefully.

The passage describes a scene at St. Michael and All Angels church in Aslacton, England. It talks about the history of bell ringing at the church - how St. Michael once had its own "band" of ringers who would herald every Sunday service. Then it says:

"Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond. The others here today live elsewhere."

The word "Now" here is contrasting the past situation (when the church had its own band of ringers) with the current situation (only one local ringer remains). This is about the present time - "in these times" or "at the present moment."

Let me consider the senses:

1. "in the historical present; at this point in the narration of a series of past events" - This is about narrating past events in present tense. The context here is describing a contrast between past and present, not narrating a series of past events in historical present.

2. "in these times; nowadays, today" - This fits well. The passage contrasts how things used to be ("once had its own band") with how they are now ("only one local ringer remains"). This is about the current state of affairs in these times.

3. "used to preface a command or reproof or request" - Not applicable.

4. "at the present moment" - This could also fit, but "at the present moment" suggests something happening right now at this moment, whereas the context is about a general state of affairs that exists currently (only one ringer remains).

5. "without delay or hesitation" - Not applicable.

6. "(prefatory or transitional) indicates a change of subject or activity" - This could be argued since "Now" transitions from describing the past to describing the present, but the primary function here is temporal contrast, not just a subject change.

7. "in the immediate past" - Not applicable.

Between senses 2 and 4: Sense 2 ("in these times; nowadays, today") seems more appropriate because the context is about a general current state of affairs - the fact that only one local ringer remains is an ongoing situation, not something happening at this exact moment. The examples for sense 2 include "we now rarely see horse-drawn vehicles on city streets" which is similar - describing a current general state contrasted with the past.

The example "we now rarely see horse-drawn vehicles on city streets" is very similar to "Now, only one local ringer remains" - both describe a current ongoing state of affairs contrasting with how things used to be.

So sense 2 is the best fit.

Context:
Of all scenes that evoke rural England, this is one of the loveliest: An ancient stone church stands amid the fields, the sound of bells cascading from its tower, calling the faithful to evensong. The parishioners of St. Michael and All Angels stop to chat at the church door, as members here always have. In the tower, five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells that first sounded here in 1614. But there is also a discordant, modern note in Aslacton, though it can not be heard by the church-goers enjoying the peal of bells this cool autumn evening. 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, <t>only</t> one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond. The others here today live elsewhere.

reasoning_content:
The context says "Now, only one local ringer remains". This means there are no other local ringers involved - just one. This matches sense 2: "without any others being included or involved" with synonyms like "solely, alone, exclusively". The meaning here is that only one remains, meaning exclusively/solely one.

Sense 1 is "and nothing more" with synonyms like "merely, simply, just, but" - this would be used in contexts like "I was only asking" where it means "just/nothing more than".

In this context, "only one local ringer remains" means that solely/exclusively one remains, without any others. This is sense 2.

The target word is "local" in the phrase "only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond. The others here today live elsewhere."

The context says the others live elsewhere, while Derek Hammond remains. He's a local ringer, meaning he's from the area/locality. This fits sense 2: "of or belonging to or characteristic of a particular locality or neighborhood."

Sense 1 is about administration of a city/town/district. Sense 2 is about belonging to a particular locality. Sense 3 is medical.

The answer is sense 2.
