reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the target word "Sunday" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is about church bell ringers in Britain
- It mentions "every Sunday morning and evening service"
- It mentions ringers who "drive every Sunday from church to church"
- The context involves religious services, churches, and days of the week

Now looking at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=sunday%1:28:00::
   - definition: first day of the week; observed as a day of rest and worship by most Christians
   - synonyms: Lord's Day, Dominicus, Sun
   - This is the common day of the week meaning, associated with Christian worship

2. sense_key=sunday%1:18:00::
   - definition: United States evangelist (1862-1935)
   - synonyms: Billy Sunday, William Ashley Sunday
   - This refers to a specific person, Billy Sunday

In the context:
- "every Sunday morning and evening service" - clearly refers to the day of the week
- "drive every Sunday from church to church" - clearly refers to the day of the week when church services happen
- This is about church bells ringing on the Christian day of worship

The context clearly refers to the day of the week (Sunday as in the first day of the week), not the person Billy Sunday.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct choice.

The user wants me to return a JSON object like {"sense_index": 1}.

Wait, looking at the instructions again: "Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}."

But I need to choose between the two senses provided. Sense 1 is the day of the week. Sense 2 is the person.

The correct answer is sense 1.

So the JSON should be: {"sense_index": 1}

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "church" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The sentence is: "They belong to a group of 15 ringers -- including two octogenarians and four youngsters in training -- who drive every Sunday from <t>church</t> to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia."

 The target word "church" appears in the phrase "from church to church".

 Let me look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=church%1:14:00:: | definition=one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship | synonyms=Christian church
    - This refers to a denomination or sect (e.g., Catholic Church, Anglican Church)
    - Doesn't fit "from church to church" in the context of driving to physical locations

 2. sense_key=church%1:06:00:: | definition=a place for public (especially Christian) worship | synonyms=church building | examples=the church was empty
    - This refers to the physical building
    - "from church to church" could mean from one building to another
    - The context mentions "belfries" and "towers" and driving to different locations
    - This seems like a strong candidate

 3. sense_key=church%1:04:00:: | definition=a service conducted in a house of worship | synonyms=church service | examples=don't be late for church
    - This refers to the religious service/event
    - "from church to church" doesn't make sense if it means "from service to service" in the context of driving - you can drive to a service, but driving "from service to service" would be unusual phrasing, though possible
    - However, the context emphasizes physical locations: "belfries of East Anglia", "tower", "drive every Sunday"

 4. sense_key=church%1:14:01:: | definition=the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church | examples=our church is hosting a picnic next week
    - This refers to the congregation/people
    - "from church to church" would mean from congregation to congregation, which doesn't fit well with the idea of driving to keep bells sounding in belfries

 Now let's look more carefully at the specific usage:
 "who drive every Sunday from church to church"

 The ringers are driving to different locations to ring bells. The bells are in church towers/belfries. They are visiting multiple physical locations.

 The phrase "from church to church" parallels "from house to house" or "from town to town", suggesting physical places/buildings.

 Also, earlier in the text: "Like most of the other 6,000 churches in Britain with sets of bells" - here "churches" clearly refers to buildings (sense 2).

 The context is about physical buildings with bells and belfries.

 Therefore, sense 2 (church%1:06:00:: - a place for public worship, church building) is the best fit.

 Wait, let me double-check sense 3. Could "from church to church" mean from one service to another?
 - If they drive from service to service, that could work temporally, but the context emphasizes the physical effort of driving to different towers/belfries to keep the bells sounding.
 - The phrase "the many belfries of East Anglia" suggests they are visiting different physical structures.
 - Also, "church-goers" earlier in the text refers to people attending services, but that's a different word form.

 Actually, looking at the pattern "from X to X" where X is a location:
 - from house to house (buildings)
 - from town to town (places)
 - from church to church (buildings/places)

 If it were sense 3 (service), it would be more like "from church to church" meaning attending multiple services, but the driving aspect and the mention of belfries strongly suggests physical buildings.

 Also, the definition of sense 2 includes "a place for public (especially Christian) worship" and synonyms "church building". The example "the church was empty" refers to the building.

 The context mentions "6,000 churches" (buildings), "belfries" (parts of buildings), "tower" (part of building).

 So sense 2 is definitely the correct choice.

 The index would be 2.

 Wait, I need to check the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=church%1:14:00::
 2. sense_key=church%1:06:00::
 3. sense_key=church%1:04:00::
 4. sense_key=church%1:14:01::

 So sense 2 is church%1:06:00:: (the building).

 Therefore, the answer should be {"sense_index": 2}.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "church" in the given context. Let me analyze the context carefully.

The target word appears in this sentence: "They belong to a group of 15 ringers -- including two octogenarians and four youngsters in training -- who drive every Sunday from church to <t>church</t> in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia."

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=church%1:14:00:: | definition=one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship | synonyms=Christian church
   - This refers to a denomination or sect (e.g., Catholic Church, Protestant Church)

2. sense_key=church%1:06:00:: | definition=a place for public (especially Christian) worship | synonyms=church building | examples=the church was empty
   - This refers to the physical building/structure

3. sense_key=church%1:04:00:: | definition=a service conducted in a house of worship | synonyms=church service | examples=don't be late for church
   - This refers to the religious service/event itself

4. sense_key=church%1:14:01:: | definition=the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church | examples=our church is hosting a picnic next week
   - This refers to the congregation/people

Now, analyzing the context: "drive every Sunday from church to church"

The ringers are driving from one location to another. The phrase "from church to church" suggests movement between physical locations. They are going to different buildings to ring bells in different belfries.

Key clues:
- "drive every Sunday from church to church" - implies physical travel between locations
- "keep the bells sounding in the many belfries" - belfries are physical structures attached to buildings
- Earlier context mentions "6,000 churches in Britain" (physical buildings), "St. Michael" (a specific church building), "tower", "belfries"

The sense here is clearly referring to the physical building/structure where worship takes place, not the religious denomination (sense 1), not the service itself (sense 3), and not the congregation (sense 4).

Sense 2: "a place for public (especially Christian) worship" with synonym "church building" fits perfectly. They are driving from one church building to another church building.

The phrase "from church to church" parallels "from house to house" or "from building to building" - clearly referring to physical structures.

Therefore, the correct sense is sense 2 (church%1:06:00::).

Wait, let me double-check the indexing. The user lists them as:
1. sense_key=church%1:14:00::
2. sense_key=church%1:06:00::
3. sense_key=church%1:04:00::
4. sense_key=church%1:14:01::

So sense 2 is the one with definition "a place for public (especially Christian) worship".

Yes, that's the correct answer.

The output should be: {"sense_index": 2}

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "effort" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The sentence describes a group of 15 ringers who drive every Sunday from church to church
 - This is described as a "sometimes-exhausting effort"
 - The purpose is to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia
 - They have to "scrape" to get enough ringers for even one service

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=effort%1:04:00:: | definition=earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something | synonyms=attempt, endeavor, endeavour, try
    - This suggests an attempt or endeavor to do something. The ringers are making an attempt/endeavor to keep the bells ringing by driving from church to church.

 2. sense_key=effort%1:04:01:: | definition=use of physical or mental energy; hard work | synonyms=elbow grease, exertion, travail, sweat
    - This emphasizes the physical/mental labor aspect. The text mentions it's "sometimes-exhausting" which suggests physical/mental exertion, and they "drive every Sunday from church to church" which involves physical effort.

 3. sense_key=effort%1:04:02:: | definition=a notable achievement | synonyms=feat, exploit
    - This would mean the effort itself is an achievement/feat. While keeping bells ringing is admirable, the context emphasizes the ongoing activity and the exhaustion/labor involved, not that it is a single notable achievement.

 4. sense_key=effort%1:04:03:: | definition=a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end | synonyms=campaign, cause, crusade, drive, movement
    - This suggests a organized campaign or movement. While they are a group working toward a goal, the context emphasizes the physical difficulty and exhaustion ("sometimes-exhausting", "scrape") rather than an organized campaign or crusade.

 The key clues are:
 - "sometimes-exhausting" - suggests physical/mental exertion
 - "drive every Sunday from church to church" - suggests hard work, labor
 - "scrape" - suggests difficulty, hard work to accomplish

 However, sense 1 (attempt/endeavor) also fits because they are making an attempt to keep the bells sounding.

 Let me look more carefully at the distinction between sense 1 and sense 2:

 Sense 1: "earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something" - focuses on the attempt/endeavor aspect
 Sense 2: "use of physical or mental energy; hard work" - focuses on the exertion/labor aspect

 The phrase "sometimes-exhausting effort" strongly suggests sense 2, because "exhausting" modifies "effort" and directly relates to physical/mental energy expenditure. The synonyms for sense 2 include "exertion" and "travail" which fit with "exhausting."

 Also, the context describes the physical act of driving from church to church, and the difficulty in getting enough ringers ("scrape"), which emphasizes the laborious nature rather than just the attempt.

 However, looking at the examples:
 - Sense 1: "made an effort to cover all the reading material" - this is about attempting to do something
 - Sense 2: "he got an A for effort" - this is about the hard work put in; "they managed only with great exertion" - this is about physical/mental strain

 The phrase "in an effort to" is a very common construction meaning "in an attempt to" or "for the purpose of", which would suggest sense 1. But here the phrase is "in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding."

 Actually, looking at the exact phrase: "in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding"

 This could be interpreted as:
 1. "in an attempt/endeavor to keep the bells sounding" (sense 1)
 2. "using hard work/exertion to keep the bells sounding" (sense 2)

 But "exhausting" is the key modifier. Something that is exhausting involves physical or mental energy (sense 2), not just an attempt (sense 1).

 Also, looking at the broader context: they drive every Sunday, it's exhausting, they have to scrape to get enough people. This emphasizes the difficulty and labor involved.

 However, I should check if "effort" in the phrase "in an effort to" is typically sense 1 or sense 2.

 In WordNet:
 - Sense 1: "attempt, endeavor, endeavour, try" - the act of trying
 - Sense 2: "elbow grease, exertion, travail, sweat" - the physical/mental energy used

 When we say "in an effort to", we usually mean "in an attempt to" (sense 1). But when we describe the effort as "exhausting", we're describing the physical toll (sense 2).

 Let me look at the specific wording again: "in a sometimes-exhausting effort"

 If it were just "in an effort to", sense 1 would be strong. But "exhausting" pushes it toward sense 2.

 Actually, looking at the examples provided:
 - Sense 1 examples: "made an effort to cover all the reading material" - this is about attempting
 - Sense 2 examples: "he got an A for effort" - this is about the work put in

 The phrase "made an effort" aligns with sense 1.

 But in our text: "in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding"

 I think the presence of "exhausting" is the deciding factor. Exhaustion comes from exertion (sense 2), not from the concept of attempt/endeavor (sense 1).

 Also, sense 4 (campaign/cause) is possible because they are a group working for a principle (keeping bells sounding), but "exhausting" doesn't fit as well with "campaign" - we don't typically say "exhausting campaign" in this physical sense? Actually, we do say "exhausting campaign", but the synonyms include "crusade, drive, movement" which are more organized and political/social, whereas this is about physical bell ringing.

 Sense 3 (feat/achievement) is clearly wrong because it's not describing a completed achievement but an ongoing activity.

 So it's between sense 1 and sense 2.

 Let me reconsider the phrase "in an effort to". This is an idiomatic expression that typically corresponds to sense 1 (attempt/endeavor). However, the modifier "exhausting" is added.

 If I look at the definition of sense 2: "use of physical or mental energy; hard work"
 And the example: "they managed only with great exertion"

 The context: "drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort"

 This describes the physical toll of driving around and ringing bells.

 But wait, "effort" here is the noun that is the object of the preposition "in". The structure is "in [an] [exhausting] effort to..."

 In WordNet sense 1, the definition is "earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something"
 In WordNet sense 2, the definition is "use of physical or mental energy; hard work"

 If they are driving from church to church, this is physical activity (driving) and mental energy (organizing), so sense 2 fits.

 But sense 1 also fits because they are engaged in an activity intended to accomplish something (keeping bells sounding).

 However, the word "exhausting" is the strongest clue. It modifies "effort" and means "tiring" or "requiring great physical exertion." This aligns perfectly with sense 2's definition involving "use of physical or mental energy."

 Therefore, sense 2 (index 2) is the best choice.

 Wait, I need to check the indexing. The user asks for the "sense_index". Looking at the candidate senses:
 1. sense_key=effort%1:04:00::
 2. sense_key=effort%1:04:01::
 3. sense_key=effort%1:04:02::
 4. sense_key=effort%1:04:03::

 So sense 1:04:00:: is index 1, sense 1:04:01:: is index 2, etc.

 So if I choose sense 2 (the one with definition "use of physical or mental energy; hard work"), the index is 2.

 Let me double-check by considering if sense 4 could be correct.
 Sense 4: "a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end" - synonyms: campaign, cause, crusade, drive, movement.

 Are they a "campaign" or "crusade"? They are a group of ringers trying to keep bells sounding. This could be seen as a "cause" or "movement" to preserve bell ringing. But the text emphasizes the physical difficulty and the fact that they are exhausted, not the principled nature of the campaign. Also, "exhausting" fits better with physical labor (sense 2) than with a campaign (sense 4), though campaigns can be exhausting.

 But the key is that sense 2 specifically mentions "exhausting" type words like "travail" and "sweat" and "exertion."

 Also, looking at the phrase "scrape" - "we have to scrape" - this means they have difficulty finding enough people, which emphasizes the laborious nature of the task.

 I think sense 2 is correct.

 Final check: The user wants a JSON object like {"sense_index": 3}.

 So I should return {"sense_index": 2}.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "keep" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The sentence is: "They belong to a group of 15 ringers... who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to <t>keep</t> the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia."
 - The context is about bell ringers who travel to different churches to ensure the bells continue to sound/ring.
 - The key phrase is "keep the bells sounding" - this means to maintain the state of the bells sounding, to continue the activity of the bells sounding, or to cause the bells to continue sounding.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=keep%2:42:00:: | definition=keep in a certain state, position, or activity; e.g., | synonyms=maintain, hold | examples=keep clean; hold in place
    - This seems relevant. "Keep in a certain state, position, or activity" - keeping the bells sounding (in the activity of sounding).

 2. sense_key=keep%2:42:07:: | definition=continue a certain state, condition, or activity | synonyms=continue, go on, proceed, go along | examples=Keep on working!; We continued to work into the night
    - This also seems relevant. "Continue a certain state, condition, or activity" - continuing the state of the bells sounding.

 3. sense_key=keep%2:40:00:: | definition=retain possession of | synonyms=hold on | examples=Can I keep my old stuffed animals?; She kept her maiden name after she married
    - Not relevant. Not about possession.

 4. sense_key=keep%2:41:01:: | definition=stop (someone or something) from doing something or being in a certain state | synonyms=prevent | examples=We must prevent the cancer from spreading; His snoring kept me from falling asleep

 7. sense_key=keep%2:40:01:: | definition=look after; be the keeper of; have charge of | examples=He keeps the shop when I am gone
    - Could be somewhat relevant, but "keep the bells sounding" is more about maintaining the activity/state rather than looking after the bells themselves.

 8. sense_key=keep%2:32:00:: | definition=maintain by writing regular records | synonyms=maintain | examples=keep a diary; maintain a record
    - Not relevant.

 9. sense_key=keep%2:42:01:: | definition=supply with room and board | examples=He is keeping three women in the guest cottage; keep boarders

     - Not relevant.

 22. sense_key=keep%2:30:10:: | definition=prevent (food) from rotting | synonyms=preserve | examples=preserved meats; keep potatoes fresh
     - Not relevant.

 Now, the main contenders are:
 - Sense 1: keep%2:42:00:: - "keep in a certain state, position, or activity"
 - Sense 2: keep%2:42:07:: - "continue a certain state, condition, or activity"
 - Sense 10: keep%2:41:02:: - "allow to remain in a place or position or maintain a property or feature"

 Let me look more carefully at the distinction between sense 1 and sense 2.

 Sense 1 (keep%2:42:00::): "keep in a certain state, position, or activity" - examples: "keep clean", "hold in place"
 Sense 2 (keep%2:42:07::): "continue a certain state, condition, or activity" - examples: "Keep on working!", "We continued to work into the night"

 The phrase is "keep the bells sounding". This is a causative construction where the ringers are causing the bells to continue sounding.

 Sense 2 seems to focus on continuing one's own activity (Keep on working! - you continue working). But here, the ringers are keeping the bells sounding - they are maintaining the state of the bells (the bells continue sounding).

 Sense 1: "keep in a certain state, position, or activity" - this fits well with "keep the bells sounding" (keep the bells in the activity of sounding).

 However, looking at the examples for sense 2: "Keep on working!" - this is about continuing an activity. But "keep the bells sounding" is about causing something else to continue an activity.

 Actually, looking at WordNet frames:
 - Sense 1 (keep%2:42:00::) often takes an object and a complement: keep [object] [state/activity]
 - Sense 2 (keep%2:42:07::) is often intransitive or about continuing one's own action: "Keep on working", "We continued to work"

 But "keep the bells sounding" fits the pattern of sense 1: keep [bells] [sounding] - maintaining the bells in the state/activity of sounding.

 However, sense 10 (keep%2:41:02::) is "allow to remain in a place or position or maintain a property or feature" with synonyms "retain, continue, keep on". Examples: "We cannot continue several servants any longer" (meaning continue to employ), "She retains a lawyer".

 Actually, looking at the specific context: "effort to keep the bells sounding" - this is about maintaining the tradition/activity of the bells sounding. The ringers are ensuring that the bells continue to sound.

 Let me reconsider sense 2: "continue a certain state, condition, or activity". If we interpret "keep" as "continue" in the sense of causing to continue, then "keep the bells sounding" = "continue the bells sounding" = cause the bells to continue sounding.

 But sense 1 "keep in a certain state, position, or activity" also fits: maintain the bells in the state of sounding.

 Looking at the synonyms:
 - Sense 1: maintain, hold
 - Sense 2: continue, go on, proceed, go along

 The phrase "keep the bells sounding" is very similar to "keep clean" (sense 1 example) in structure: keep [object] [adjective/participle]. "Keep clean" = keep [something] clean. "Keep the bells sounding" = keep [the bells] sounding.

 But wait, "sounding" here is a present participle indicating an ongoing activity. "Keep the bells sounding" means to cause the bells to continue sounding.

 Let me check if there's a specific sense for "keep" + object + present participle.

 Actually, looking at the definitions again:

 Sense 1: keep in a certain state, position, or activity
 - Example: "keep clean" (keep [yourself/it] clean)
 - This is about maintaining a state.

 Sense 2: continue a certain state, condition, or activity
 - Example: "Keep on working!" (continue working)
 - This is about continuing an activity.

 In "keep the bells sounding", the bells are continuing their sounding. The ringers are the agents causing this continuation.

 But sense 10: "allow to remain in a place or position or maintain a property or feature"
 - This could fit: maintain the property/feature of the bells sounding?

 Actually, looking at the WordNet entry for keep%2:42:00:: (sense 1), it includes examples like "keep the beat", "keep time", "keep the beat going". Wait, no, that's not in the provided examples.

 Let me look at the provided examples carefully:
 Sense 1 examples: "keep clean; hold in place"
 Sense 2 examples: "Keep on working!; We continued to work into the night"

 "Keep the bells sounding" seems closer to sense 1 in terms of structure (keep + object + complement), but the meaning is about continuation.

 However, sense 2 is specifically about continuing a state, condition, or activity. The bells are in a state/activity of sounding, and the ringers work to continue that.

 But sense 2 examples suggest the subject is the one continuing the activity: "We continued to work". In "keep the bells sounding", the subject (ringers) is not the one sounding - the bells are sounding. So it's causative.

 Sense 1 can be causative: "keep [someone/something] in a certain state/activity".

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet distinctions:
 - keep%2:42:00:: (sense 1) is typically for "keep + object + adjective/particle" like "keep the room clean", "keep the engine running"
 - keep%2:42:07:: (sense 2) is typically for "keep + verb-ing" or "keep on" like "keep walking", "keep on trying"

 In "keep the bells sounding", we have "keep + object + present participle". This is the construction for sense 1 (keep in a certain state/activity).

 But let me check sense 10 again: "allow to remain in a place or position or maintain a property or feature"
 - Example: "We cannot continue several servants any longer" - this means continue to employ.
 - "She retains a lawyer" - keeps employing.

 This doesn't seem to fit as well.

 What about sense 11: "supply with necessities and support" - no, that's financial.

 What about sense 20: "maintain for use and service" - "I keep a car" - possess and maintain. Not quite.

 I think the best fit is sense 1: "keep in a certain state, position, or activity". The ringers are keeping the bells in the activity of sounding.

 But wait, looking at the context again: "effort to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries". This is about ensuring the bells continue to sound, i.e., not letting the tradition die out, making sure there are ringers to ring them.

 This could also be sense 2 if we interpret it as "continue the activity of the bells sounding". But the syntactic structure with the object "the bells" suggests sense 1.

 Let me verify with the synonyms:
 Sense 1: maintain, hold
 - "maintain the bells sounding" - this works
 - "hold the bells sounding" - this is awkward

 Sense 2: continue, go on, proceed, go along
 - "continue the bells sounding" - possible but less common than "continue to sound"
 - "go on the bells sounding" - doesn't work

 So sense 1 seems better.

 But I should also consider if there's a sense about "cause to continue" or "maintain in operation".

 Actually, looking at the WordNet 3.1 or similar resources in my mind:
 - keep%2:42:00:: is "keep, maintain, hold" - cause to continue in a certain state, position, or activity
 - keep%2:42:07:: is "continue, go on, proceed, go along, keep" - continue a certain state, condition, or activity

 The key difference is that sense 1 is transitive (you keep something in a state), while sense 2 is intransitive or refers to the subject's own action (you keep [on] doing something).

 In our sentence: "keep the bells sounding" - transitive, with "the bells" as object and "sounding" as object complement. This is clearly sense 1.

 Therefore, the answer should be sense 1.

 Wait, I need to be careful. The index in the candidate list starts at 1, not 0. So sense_key=keep%2:42:00:: is index 1.

 Let me double-check by looking at sense 10 again: "allow to remain in a place or position or maintain a property or feature"
 - Could "keep the bells sounding" mean "allow the bells to remain sounding"?
 - The example "We cannot continue several servants any longer" uses "continue" to mean "keep employing".
 - "She retains a lawyer" means she keeps employing a lawyer.
 - This is about maintaining a relationship or state of affairs.

 But "keep the bells sounding" is more about the immediate action of causing the bells to sound continuously during the service, or maintaining the tradition so that the bells sound every Sunday.

 Given the context: "drive every Sunday from church to church... to keep the bells sounding" - this is about maintaining the activity/state of the bells sounding every Sunday. It's about ensuring the bells continue to sound (transitive).

 I think sense 1 is correct.

 But let me reconsider sense 2 one more time. Could "keep" here be used intransitively with "the bells sounding" as a participial phrase? No, "keep the bells" is clearly transitive.

 Therefore: {"sense_index": 1}

Target lemma: bell
Target surface form: bells
Context:
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, 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 <t>bells</t> 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. "

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "bells" in the given context. I need to choose the best sense from the 10 candidate senses provided.

Let me analyze the context:
- The text talks about a tower where people pull ropes attached to bells
- The bells first sounded in 1614
- There's mention of "peal of bells"
- Churches have sets of bells
- "St. Michael once had its own 'band' of ringers"
- Ringers drive from church to church to keep the bells sounding
- "belfries of East Anglia"
- The bells are physical objects that are rung/sounded

Now let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=bell%1:06:00:: | definition=a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck
   - This seems to fit. Bells in towers are hollow metal devices that make ringing sounds.

2. sense_key=bell%1:06:02:: | definition=a push button at an outer door that gives a ringing or buzzing signal when pushed | synonyms=doorbell, buzzer
   - This is a doorbell. The context is about church bells, not doorbells.

3. sense_key=bell%1:11:00:: | definition=the sound of a bell being struck | synonyms=toll | examples=saved by the bell; she heard the distant toll of church bells
   - This refers to the sound, not the physical object. The text says "keep the bells sounding" and references the physical objects (ropes attached to bells, sets of bells). While "peal of bells" could refer to the sound, the target "bells" in "keep the bells sounding" refers to the physical instruments.

4. sense_key=bell%1:28:00:: | definition=(nautical) each of the eight half-hour units of nautical time signaled by strokes of a ship's bell; eight bells signals 4:00, 8:00, or 12:00 o'clock, either a.m. or p.m. | synonyms=ship's bell
   - Nautical context, not church context.

5. sense_key=bell%1:25:00:: | definition=the shape of a bell | synonyms=bell shape, campana
   - This is about the shape, not the instrument.

6. sense_key=bell%1:18:02:: | definition=a phonetician...
   - Proper noun, person.

7. sense_key=bell%1:18:01:: | definition=English painter...
   - Proper noun, person.

8. sense_key=bell%1:18:00:: | definition=United States inventor...
   - Proper noun, person.

9. sense_key=bell%1:06:04:: | definition=a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells that are struck with a hammer; used as an orchestral instrument | synonyms=chime, gong
   - This is specifically about orchestral chimes/gongs, not church bells.

10. sense_key=bell%1:06:03:: | definition=the flared opening of a tubular device
    - This is like the bell of a trumpet or horn, not a ringing bell.

The context clearly describes church bells - physical objects in a tower that are rung by pulling ropes. These are hollow metal devices that make a ringing sound when struck (or in this case, when the clapper hits them or they are swung to ring).

Sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck" - This matches perfectly.

Sense 3 is about the sound, but the context refers to the physical objects: "bells that first sounded here", "sets of bells", "keep the bells sounding", "belfries" (which house the physical bells).

The target word "bells" appears in the phrase: "keep the <t>bells</t> sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia."

"Belfries" are towers that house bells. The bells are the physical objects being kept sounding.

Therefore, sense 1 is the best choice.

Wait, let me double-check sense 9: "a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells that are struck with a hammer; used as an orchestral instrument" - This is tubular bells or orchestra bells. The context is about church bells rung by pulling ropes, not orchestral bells struck with hammers.

Sense 1 is definitely the correct choice: the hollow metal device that makes a ringing sound when struck.

Actually, looking at the context again: "pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells" - this confirms they are physical objects that are rung.

The answer should be sense index 1.

But wait, I need to check if there's any ambiguity with sense 9. Sense 9 specifies "tuned bells... struck with a hammer... used as an orchestral instrument." Church bells are typically not considered orchestral instruments in this sense, and they are swung rather than struck with a hammer (though technically the clapper strikes them). But sense 1 is the general definition of a bell as a device, which fits church bells perfectly.

Also, sense 3: "the sound of a bell being struck" - while "peal of bells" refers to the sound, the specific instance marked with <t> is "keep the bells sounding" which treats bells as the source of the sound, not the sound itself. You keep the physical bells sounding (ringing), not the sound itself sounding (which would be redundant).

So yes, sense 1 is correct.

The user wants the output as: {"sense_index": 1}

Let me verify the sense indices:
1. bell%1:06:00::
2. bell%1:06:02::
3. bell%1:11:00::
4. bell%1:28:00::
5. bell%1:25:00::
6. bell%1:18:02::
7. bell%1:18:01::
8. bell%1:18:00::
9. bell%1:06:04::
10. bell%1:06:03::

Yes, the physical bell is index 1.

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "sounding" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about church bells and bell ringers
 - "They belong to a group of 15 ringers... who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells <t>sounding</t> in the many belfries of East Anglia."
 - The bells are making noise/ringing
 - The ringers are pulling ropes to make the bells sound

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=sound%2:39:06:: | definition=appear in a certain way | examples=This sounds interesting
    - This is about seeming or appearing (e.g., "that sounds good"). Not applicable here.

 2. sense_key=sound%2:39:00:: | definition=make a certain noise or sound | synonyms=go | examples=She went `Mmmmm'; The gun went `bang'
    - This is about producing a sound. The subject would be the thing making the sound.
    - "The bells sounding" - bells making noise. This fits.

 3. sense_key=sound%2:39:03:: | definition=give off a certain sound or sounds | examples=This record sounds scratchy
    - This is about the quality or characteristic of the sound (how something sounds). "This record sounds scratchy" - describing the auditory quality.
    - In our context, it's not about the quality of the bells' sound, but about the bells making noise/ringing.

 4. sense_key=sound%2:39:02:: | definition=announce by means of a sound | examples=sound the alarm
    - This is transitive - to sound something (like an alarm). But here we have "keep the bells sounding" - the bells are the subject making the sound, not the object being sounded.

 5. sense_key=sound%2:32:00:: | definition=utter with vibrating vocal chords | synonyms=voice, vocalize, vocalise
    - This is about speaking/singing. Not applicable to bells.

 6. sense_key=sound%2:39:01:: | definition=cause to sound | examples=sound the bell; sound a certain note
    - This is transitive - to cause something to make a sound. "Sound the bell" means to ring it.
    - But in the text: "keep the bells sounding" - this is intransitive use. The bells are sounding (making noise), not someone sounding the bells.
    - Wait, let me check: "keep the bells sounding" - this could be causative (keep causing the bells to sound) or it could be keeping the bells in a state of sounding.
    - Actually, looking at the structure: "keep the bells sounding" - this is similar to "keep the engine running". The bells are the ones producing the sound.
    - But sense 6 is "cause to sound" - that would be the ringers sounding the bells. But the grammar here is "keep the bells sounding" where "sounding" is a present participle describing what the bells are doing.

 7. sense_key=sound%2:30:00:: | definition=measure the depth of (a body of water) with a sounding line | synonyms=fathom
    - Nautical term, not applicable.

 Now between sense 2 and sense 6:
 - Sense 2: make a certain noise or sound (intransitive - the subject makes the sound)
 - Sense 6: cause to sound (transitive - the subject causes the object to make sound)

 In "keep the bells sounding":
 - The bells are the object of "keep" but the subject of "sounding"
 - The bells are making the sound
 - This is parallel to "the bells ringing" or "the bells making noise"

 So sense 2 seems correct: "make a certain noise or sound"

 But let me double-check sense 2's examples: "She went `Mmmmm'; The gun went `bang'"
 - These are intransitive uses where the subject makes a sound.
 - "The bells sounding" fits this pattern.

 Sense 3 "give off a certain sound or sounds" with example "This record sounds scratchy" is about the quality/characteristic (copular use), not the action of producing sound.

 So the best sense is sense 2: sound%2:39:00:: - make a certain noise or sound

 Wait, I need to check the indexing. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=sound%2:39:06::
 2. sense_key=sound%2:39:00::
 3. sense_key=sound%2:39:03::
 4. sense_key=sound%2:39:02::
 5. sense_key=sound%2:32:00::
 6. sense_key=sound%2:39:01::
 7. sense_key=sound%2:30:00::

 So sense 2 in the list corresponds to index 2.

 But let me reconsider sense 6 vs sense 2. In the phrase "keep the bells sounding", is "sounding" being used transitively or intransitively?

 "Sound" can be transitive: "to sound a bell" (to cause it to ring)
 "Sound" can be intransitive: "the bell sounds" (it rings)

 In "keep the bells sounding":
 - Structure: keep + object + present participle
 - The object is "the bells"
 - The participle is "sounding"
 - This is a causative construction: the ringers keep the bells in the state of sounding (ringing)
 - But grammatically, "sounding" here describes what the bells are doing (intransitive), not what the ringers are doing to the bells.

 Actually, looking at similar constructions:
 - "I keep the car running" - the car is running (intransitive)
 - "I keep him working" - he is working (intransitive)

 So "the bells sounding" = the bells are making sound (intransitive).

 Therefore, sense 2 is correct.

 But wait, looking at sense 6's definition: "cause to sound" - examples: "sound the bell; sound a certain note"
 This is clearly transitive.

 Sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound" - examples show intransitive use (She went..., The gun went... - though these use "go" as the verb, the synonym is "go" which can mean "make a sound" as in "guns go bang").

 Actually, looking at WordNet:
 - sound%2:39:00:: is "make a certain noise or sound" - this is the intransitive sense where the subject emits sound.
 - sound%2:39:01:: is "cause to sound" - transitive

 In the context: "keep the bells sounding" - the bells are emitting sound, so it's the intransitive sense.

 Therefore, the answer should be index 2.

 But let me check if there's any ambiguity with sense 3: "give off a certain sound or sounds" - example "This record sounds scratchy"
 This is a linking verb/copular construction where "sound" means "seems audibly" or describes the quality.
 "The bells sounding" in the context doesn't mean "the bells seem [adjective]" but "the bells are ringing/emitting sound."

 So yes, sense 2 is the best choice.

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) on the word "even" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The sentence is: "To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to scrape"
 - The speaker (Mr. Hammond) is saying that to ring for just one service, they have difficulty finding enough ringers ("we have to scrape" means they barely manage to get enough people).
 - The word "even" here is emphasizing the difficulty - even for just one service, they struggle.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=even%4:02:00:: | definition=used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected | examples=even an idiot knows that; declined even to consider the idea
    - This seems to be about emphasizing something unexpected or surprising. The structure "even one service" fits here - emphasizing that even a single service is difficult.

 2. sense_key=even%4:02:03:: | definition=in spite of; notwithstanding | examples=even when he is sick, he works; even with his head start she caught up with him
    - This is about concession/contrast. The example "even when" shows temporal/concessive usage. Our sentence doesn't have this concessive meaning.

 3. sense_key=even%4:02:01:: | definition=to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons | synonyms=yet, still | examples=looked sick and felt even worse; an even (or still) more interesting problem
    - This is about comparative degree (even worse, even more). Our sentence isn't comparing degrees.

 4. sense_key=even%4:02:04:: | definition=to the full extent | examples=loyal even unto death
    - This is about extent/until. Not fitting here.

 The usage "even one service" is emphasizing the minimal quantity (just one) and indicating that even this small amount is difficult to achieve. This matches sense 1: "used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected."

 The phrase "even one" is a common pattern where "even" intensifies a minimal quantity to show that the statement applies even to that minimal case, which might be unexpected given the difficulty mentioned ("we have to scrape").

 So the best sense is sense 1 (index 1).

 Wait, let me double-check the sense indices. The user lists:
 1. sense_key=even%4:02:00::
 2. sense_key=even%4:02:03::
 3. sense_key=even%4:02:01::
 4. sense_key=even%4:02:04::

 So sense 1 is the first one in the list.

 Actually, looking at the WordNet sense keys:
 - even%4:02:00:: is typically the "intensive/unexpected" sense
 - even%4:02:01:: is typically the comparative sense
 - even%4:02:03:: is typically the concessive sense
 - even%4:02:04:: is the "unto/until" sense

 The context: "To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to scrape"
 This means: To ring for just a single service, we have difficulty getting enough ringers.

 This is definitely the intensive sense (sense 1) - emphasizing that something applies to a minimal or unexpected case.

 The answer should be {"sense_index": 1}.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation on the word "service" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is about church bell ringers in Aslacton, England
- It mentions "Sunday morning and evening service"
- It mentions church-goers, bells, church, St. Michael (a church)
- The specific sentence with the target word: "To ring for even one <t>service</t> at this tower, we have to scrape," says Mr. Hammond

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. service%1:04:08:: - work done by one person or group that benefits another (general)
2. service%1:04:00:: - an act of help or assistance
3. service%1:04:01:: - the act of public worship following prescribed rules; synonyms: religious service, divine service; examples: the Sunday service
4. service%1:14:05:: - a company or agency that performs a public service
5. service%1:04:07:: - employment in or work for another
6. service%1:14:00:: - military service
7. service%1:18:00:: - Robert William Service (proper noun, writer)
8. service%1:07:00:: - a means of serving
9. service%1:06:00:: - tableware
10. service%1:04:03:: - mating by male animals
11. service%1:04:09:: - feudal tenant acts
12. service%1:04:02:: - sports stroke (tennis serve)
13. service%1:04:04:: - delivering a writ or summons
14. service%1:04:05:: - periodic maintenance
15. service%1:04:06:: - performance of duties by waiter

The context clearly indicates a religious context:
- "church-goers"
- "St. Michael" (church name)
- "Sunday morning and evening service"
- "religious service" is mentioned in the context
- The phrase "Sunday service" appears in the examples for sense 3

Sense 3 is: service%1:04:01:: | definition=the act of public worship following prescribed rules | synonyms=religious service, divine service | examples=the Sunday service

This matches perfectly with "ring for even one service" in the context of church bells and Sunday worship.

The other senses don't fit:
- Not military (6)
- Not the writer (7)
- Not tableware (9)
- Not legal service (13)
- Not car maintenance (14)
- Not waiter service (15)
- Not tennis (12)
- Not general work/benefit (1, 5)
- Not assistance (2)
- Not mating (10)

Therefore, the correct sense is index 3 (service%1:04:01::).

 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "tower" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The text is about church bells and bell ringing in Aslacton, specifically at St. Michael's church.
 - It mentions "belfries of East Anglia"
 - The quote is: "To ring for even one service at this <t>tower</t>, we have to scrape"
 - The context is about church bells, bell ringers, and belfries.

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=tower%1:06:00:: | definition=a structure taller than its diameter; can stand alone or be attached to a larger building
    - This is the general sense of a tower as a building/structure.
    - In the context of churches, a "tower" often refers to the bell tower or church tower where bells are housed.
    - This fits with "belfries" mentioned in the text.

 2. sense_key=tower%1:25:00:: | definition=anything that approximates the shape of a column or tower | synonyms=column, pillar | examples=the test tube held a column of white powder; a tower of dust rose above the horizon
    - This is a metaphorical/shape sense (like a tower of dust, column of powder).
    - The context here is clearly referring to a physical church structure, not a shape approximation.

 3. sense_key=tower%1:06:01:: | definition=a powerful small boat designed to pull or push larger ships | synonyms=tugboat, tug, towboat
    - This is a nautical sense (towboat/tugboat).
    - Completely irrelevant to the church/bell ringing context.

 The context clearly refers to a church tower (bell tower) where bells are rung. This is sense 1: "a structure taller than its diameter; can stand alone or be attached to a larger building."

 The mention of "belfries" confirms this is about the tower structure of the church where bells are housed. The phrase "at this tower" refers to the specific church tower being discussed.

 Therefore, the correct sense is index 1.

 Wait, let me double-check the sense indices provided:
 1. tower%1:06:00:: - structure/building
 2. tower%1:25:00:: - shape/column
 3. tower%1:06:01:: - boat/tugboat

 Yes, sense 1 is the correct one.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation on the word "scrape" in the given context.

Let me analyze the context:
- The text is about church bell ringers in East Anglia, UK
- Derek Hammond says: "To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to <t>scrape</t>"
- He explains: "We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away."
- This suggests they have difficulty finding enough ringers, they have to "scrape by" or struggle to get enough people

Looking at the candidate senses:

1. scrape%2:35:00:: - scratch repeatedly (like a cat scratching). This is physical scratching.
2. scrape%2:36:00:: - make by scraping (engraving). Not relevant here.
3. scrape%2:35:02:: - cut/wear away the surface. Physical action.
4. scrape%2:38:00:: - bow in servile manner (kowtow). Not relevant.
5. scrape%2:35:03:: - gather (money or resources) together over time; scrape up; scratch; come up. Examples: "She had scraped together enough money for college", "they scratched a meager living"
6. scrape%2:35:01:: - bruise/cut/injure skin. Physical injury.

In the context, "we have to scrape" means they have to struggle to find enough ringers, or gather resources (in this case, human resources/people) with difficulty. The phrase "scrape by" or "scrape together" fits here - they have to scrape together enough ringers to ring the bells.

Sense 5 is defined as "gather (money or other resources) together over time" with synonyms including "scrape up", "scratch", "come up". While the examples mention money ("scraped together enough money for college"), the definition also mentions "or other resources". In this context, they are gathering people (ringers) with difficulty.

The other senses are clearly physical actions (scratching, cutting, bruising, engraving, bowing) which don't fit the metaphorical context of struggling to find enough volunteers.

Therefore, sense 5 (index 5) is the best choice.

Let me analyze the context:
- The sentence is: "To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to scrape," says Mr. Hammond, a retired water-authority worker.
- This is a direct quote attribution. Mr. Hammond is expressing something in words - he's stating that they have difficulty getting enough ringers ("we have to scrape" means they struggle to get enough people).

Now let's look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=say%2:32:00:: | definition=express in words | synonyms=state, tell | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you
   - This seems to fit. He's expressing in words that they have difficulty getting ringers.

2. sense_key=say%2:32:01:: | definition=report or maintain | synonyms=allege, aver | examples=He alleged that he was the victim of a crime; He said it was too late to intervene in the war
   - This is more about reporting or maintaining something, often with a connotation of claiming something that might be disputed. Not quite right here.

3. sense_key=say%2:32:03:: | definition=express a supposition | synonyms=suppose | examples=Let us say that he did not tell the truth; Let's say you had a lot of money--what would you do?
   - This is hypothetical. Not applicable here.

4. sense_key=say%2:42:00:: | definition=have or contain a certain wording or form | synonyms=read | examples=The passage reads as follows; What does the law say?
   - This is about text containing certain wording. Not applicable.

7. sense_key=say%2:32:07:: | definition=communicate or express nonverbally | examples=What does this painting say?; Did his face say anything about how he felt?
   - This is nonverbal communication. Not applicable since he's speaking.

8. sense_key=say%2:32:15:: | definition=utter aloud | examples=She said `Hello' to everyone in the office
   - This is about uttering specific words aloud. While he is uttering words, this sense is more about the physical act of uttering specific words/phrases (like "say 'hello'"), whereas here he's making a statement/expressing an idea.

9. sense_key=say%2:32:13:: | definition=state as one's opinion or judgement; declare | examples=I say let's forget this whole business
   - This is close, but looking at the example "I say let's forget this whole business" - this is more about declaring an opinion or making a proposal. While Mr. Hammond is stating his view, sense 1 (express in words/state/tell) seems more general and appropriate for reporting speech.

10. sense_key=say%2:32:08:: | definition=recite or repeat a fixed text | examples=Say grace; She said her `Hail Mary'
    - This is about reciting fixed texts like prayers. Not applicable.

11. sense_key=say%2:32:09:: | definition=indicate | examples=The clock says noon
    - This is about inanimate objects indicating something. Not applicable.

Between sense 1 and sense 9:
- Sense 1: "express in words" - synonyms: state, tell. Examples: "He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you"
- Sense 9: "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" - Example: "I say let's forget this whole business"

The context is a standard attribution of direct speech in journalism/narrative. "says Mr. Hammond" is introducing a quote where he is expressing/statements facts about their situation. This is the most basic sense of "say" - to express in words, state, tell.

Sense 1 is the standard sense for quotative use in "X says [quote]".

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 9: "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" - this might be for cases like "I say, old chap" or when expressing opinions like "I say we should go". But in the context of reporting speech content, sense 1 is the standard WSD choice.

The example for sense 1 includes: "He said that he wanted to marry her" - this is exactly the structure we have here: "[Quote]," says Mr. Hammond.

Therefore, sense 1 (index 1) is the correct choice.

Wait, I need to check the sense indices. The user lists them as:
1. sense_key=say%2:32:00::
2. sense_key=say%2:32:01::
3. sense_key=say%2:32:03::
4. sense_key=say%2:42:00::
5. sense_key=say%2:32:04::
6. sense_key=say%2:32:02::
7. sense_key=say%2:32:07::
8. sense_key=say%2:32:15::
9. sense_key=say%2:32:13::
10. sense_key=say%2:32:08::
11. sense_key=say%2:32:09::

So the indices correspond to the numbers given. I should return {"sense_index": 1}.

Let me double-check if sense 9 might be better. Sense 9 is "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare". The example is "I say let's forget this whole business". This is proposing something, making a declarative statement about what should be done.

In the text, Mr. Hammond is stating a fact about their situation: "we have to scrape". He's reporting/maintaining something about their difficulty. But sense 2 is "report or maintain" with synonyms allege, aver. That seems more like claiming something in a legal or disputed context.

Actually, looking at WordNet structure, sense 1 (say%2:32:00::) is indeed the first sense of the verb "say" and corresponds to "express in words".

The structure "[quote]," says [person]. is the classic example of sense 1.

Therefore, the answer is sense_index: 1.

Target lemma: worker
Target surface form: worker
Context:
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, 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 <t>worker</t>. "We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away. "

reasoning_content:
 The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation on the word "worker" in the given context.

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The sentence is: "says Mr. Hammond, a retired water-authority <t>worker</t>"
 - Mr. Hammond is described as a retired water-authority worker
 - This refers to his occupation/profession
 - He worked for the water authority (presumably a government agency or utility company)

 Now let's look at the candidate senses:

 1. sense_key=worker%1:18:00:: | definition=a person who works at a specific occupation | examples=he is a good worker
    - This seems to fit: someone who works at a specific occupation (water authority employee)

 2. sense_key=worker%1:18:01:: | definition=a member of the working class (not necessarily employed) | synonyms=proletarian, prole | examples=workers of the world--unite!
    - This is more about social class/political context. "Water-authority worker" refers to a specific job, not class membership in the Marxist sense.

 3. sense_key=worker%1:05:01:: | definition=sterile member of a colony of social insects that forages for food and cares for the larvae
    - This is for insects (ants, bees, etc.), not humans.

 4. sense_key=worker%1:18:02:: | definition=a person who acts and gets things done | synonyms=actor, doer | examples=he's a principal actor in this affair; when you want something done get a doer
    - This is about someone who is active/gets things done in general, not necessarily someone employed in a specific occupation.

 The context clearly refers to Mr. Hammond's employment/occupation as an employee of the water authority. Sense 1 is the best fit: "a person who works at a specific occupation".

 The phrase "retired water-authority worker" means he used to work at that specific occupation (working for the water authority).

 Therefore, the answer should be sense_index: 1.

 Wait, let me double-check the indexing. The candidates are listed as:
 1. sense_key=worker%1:18:00::
 2. sense_key=worker%1:18:01::
 3. sense_key=worker%1:05:01::
 4. sense_key=worker%1:18:02::

 So the first one corresponds to index 1.

 Actually, looking at the format, they seem to be numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 in the list. So I should return the index number that corresponds to the correct sense.

 Sense 1: a person who works at a specific occupation - fits perfectly for "water-authority worker" (someone employed by the water authority)

 Sense 2: member of working class - too broad, sociological

 Sense 3: insect - wrong domain

 Sense 4: person who acts and gets things done - too general, not about employment

 So the answer is {"sense_index": 1}.
