The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "find" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is:

"In a well-known detective-story involving church bells, English novelist Dorothy L. Sayers described ringing as a "passion that <t>finds</t> its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection."

Let me analyze the usage of "finds" here. The phrase is "finds its satisfaction in..." which means the passion obtains or achieves its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection.

Looking at the definitions:

1. come upon, as if by accident; meet with - Not quite right. It's not accidental.
2. discover or determine the existence - No, not discovering existence.
3. come upon after searching - No searching involved here.
4. establish after a calculation - No calculation.
5. come to believe - Not about belief.
6. perceive or be contemporaneous with - Not quite.
7. get something or somebody for a specific purpose - Not quite right.
8. make a discovery - No.
9. make a discovery - No.
10. obtain through effort or management - This could work. "Find the time" example shows obtaining something.
11. decide on and make a declaration - No.
12. receive a specified treatment (abstract) - "These aspects of civilization do not find expression" - This looks promising. The structure "finds its satisfaction" is similar to "find expression".
13. perceive oneself - No.
14. get or find back - No.
15. succeed in reaching; arrive at - "The arrow found its mark" - This is close. The passion finds its satisfaction (reaches/obtains it).
16. accept and make use of - No.

Let me look more carefully at sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)" with the example "These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation".

And sense 15: "succeed in reaching; arrive at" with the example "The arrow found its mark".

And sense 10: "obtain through effort or management" with "She found the time and energy..."

The phrase "finds its satisfaction" means that the passion obtains or achieves satisfaction. It's similar to "the arrow found its mark" (sense 15) where something reaches or achieves its target/objective.

But sense 12 is also possible because it's abstract - "find expression", "find satisfaction".

Let me check the exact wording of sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)" - examples: "These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation"

The structure is "find [abstract noun]". In the sentence, it's "finds its satisfaction". Satisfaction is abstract.

Sense 15: "succeed in reaching; arrive at" - example: "The arrow found its mark"

Actually, looking at dictionary definitions, "find" in the sense of "obtain" or "achieve" is often used with abstract objects like "satisfaction", "support", "approval", etc.

But looking at the specific options given:

Sense 12 is specifically about "receive a specified treatment (abstract)" and the example is about "find expression".

Sense 15 is about "succeed in reaching; arrive at" with the arrow example.

Sense 10 is "obtain through effort or management".

The sentence says the passion "finds its satisfaction in..." - this means the passion achieves or obtains its satisfaction from mathematical completeness.

I think sense 12 is the best fit because "satisfaction" is an abstract concept, and the structure "find [abstract noun]" matches "find expression" in the example. However, the definition says "receive a specified treatment" which might not exactly fit "satisfaction".

Wait, let me reconsider. "Find satisfaction" is an idiom meaning to be satisfied or to achieve satisfaction.

Sense 15: "succeed in reaching; arrive at" - if something finds its mark, it reaches it. If a passion finds its satisfaction, it achieves/reaches its satisfaction.

Sense 10: "obtain through effort or management" - the passion obtains satisfaction.

But actually, looking at standard WordNet senses (which this appears to be based on), sense 12 corresponds to the usage where "find" means something like "be granted" or "receive" - as in "find favor", "find expression".

Let me check the example for sense 12 again: "These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation". Here "find" is synonymous with "receive".

In the sentence: "a passion that finds its satisfaction in..." - this means the passion receives/achieves its satisfaction.

I think sense 12 or 15 are the strongest candidates.

Actually, looking at the structure:
- Sense 12: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)" - passive-ish meaning
- Sense 15: "succeed in reaching; arrive at" - active achievement

"The arrow found its mark" = the arrow reached its mark.
"The passion finds its satisfaction" = the passion achieves/obtains its satisfaction.

But sense 10: "obtain through effort or management" - "She found the time" = she obtained the time.

However, "find satisfaction" is more like "experience" or "achieve" satisfaction.

Let me look at sense 6: "perceive or be contemporaneous with" - no.

Sense 1: "come upon, as if by accident" - example "We find this idea in Plato" - this is about encountering or locating an idea.

Actually, looking at the sentence structure again: "a passion that finds its satisfaction in..."

This is similar to "find its niche", "find its place", "find its fulfillment".

In WordNet, the sense "succeed in reaching; arrive at" (sense 15) covers "The arrow found its mark", and also usages like "The ball found the back of the net", meaning it reached its target.

But "find satisfaction" is slightly different.

Wait, I should look at the definition of sense 12 more carefully: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".

If the passion finds satisfaction, is it receiving a treatment? Satisfaction isn't really a treatment.

But look at the example: "find expression" - expression is something that happens to or is received by the subject.

Actually, "find" in "find expression" means "to be expressed" or "to manifest".

"Find satisfaction" means "to be satisfied" or "to achieve satisfaction".

I think sense 15 might be better because "find its satisfaction" implies the passion is reaching or achieving a state where it is satisfied.

But let me reconsider sense 10: "obtain through effort or management". This requires the subject to be an agent making effort. A passion doesn't really make an effort to obtain satisfaction; it simply experiences or achieves it when conditions are met (mathematical completeness).

Sense 12 seems most appropriate for abstract things like "expression", "support", "satisfaction" where the subject is the recipient.

Actually, looking at standard dictionaries, "find" with abstract objects like "satisfaction", "happiness", "difficulty" often corresponds to WordNet sense 12 (if it's the "receive" sense) or sense 1 (if it's the "discover/encounter" sense).

"We find this idea in Plato" (sense 1) - encountering.
"The system finds wide application" (sense 12) - receives/obtains.

In "a passion that finds its satisfaction", the passion is the subject that obtains/receives satisfaction.

Given the choices, and the example "find expression" in sense 12, I think the answer is 12.

But wait, I should check if there's a sense about "experience" or "have". Sense 5 is "come to believe", no. Sense 13 is "perceive oneself", no.

Let me reconsider sense 15. "The arrow found its mark". This is about something successfully reaching its intended destination or target. "A passion that finds its satisfaction" - the passion reaches its satisfaction when it encounters mathematical completeness. This is metaphorical - the passion is like the arrow, satisfaction is like the mark.

This is actually a very common metaphorical extension of sense 15.

However, sense 12 is explicitly about abstract things: "receive a specified treatment (abstract)".

Let me verify with the actual WordNet database if possible. These look like WordNet 3.0 or 3.1 senses.

WordNet sense for "find" with "find expression":
- WordNet 3.1: sense 12 (of 16): "receive a specified treatment (abstract); 'The nuts of the tree find expression in the story'; 'These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation'"

WordNet sense for "find" with "the arrow found its mark":
- WordNet 3.1: sense 15: "succeed in reaching; arrive at; 'The arrow found its mark'; 'Your comments won't go unnoticed'; 'My proposal found little support'"

Wait, "My proposal found little support" - that's similar to "the passion finds its satisfaction". Both are abstract.

But "My proposal found little support" is listed under sense 15 in some versions? Or is it sense 12?

Actually, looking at WordNet 3.1:
- Sense 12: receive a specified treatment (abstract)
- Sense 15: succeed in reaching; arrive at

The example "My proposal found little support" might actually be sense 12 in some versions, or sense 15.

But "The arrow found its mark" is definitely sense 15 (physical reaching).

However, "find support", "find satisfaction" are often sense 12 (abstract).

But in the given list, sense 12's example is specifically "find expression".

Sense 15's example is "The arrow found its mark".

The sentence has "finds its satisfaction". This is very similar to "finds its mark" in structure (possessive pronoun + abstract noun).

But "satisfaction" is an abstract state, while "mark" is physical.

I think the safest answer is 12, because "satisfaction" is abstract, like "expression" in the example.

However, I should consider if it could be sense 1: "come upon, as if by accident; meet with". Example: "We find this idea in Plato". This is about encountering or locating. The passion encounters its satisfaction in mathematical completeness. This is possible.

But "finds its satisfaction" suggests a more active obtaining or achieving rather than just encountering.

Given that the user wants a single integer, and the options are clearly from WordNet, and sense 12 is the one specifically for abstract "receive a specified treatment", and "satisfaction" fits the abstract category, I'll go with 12.

Wait, I want to double-check sense 10: "obtain through effort or management". The example is "She found the time and energy to take care of her aging parents". This is about managing to do something. The passion doesn't manage to find satisfaction; it inherently has this property.

Sense 12 treats "find" as a verb where the subject receives something abstract.

I think 12 is correct.

But let me reconsider sense 15. If "The arrow found its mark" is the prototype, then "The passion finds its satisfaction" is a metaphorical extension where the passion (like an arrow) reaches/achieves its goal (satisfaction).

In many lexical databases, "find satisfaction" is grouped with "find happiness" etc., which might be sense 1 (discover by chance) or sense 12.

Actually, looking at the Oxford English Dictionary or similar, "find" meaning "to obtain or experience" is a distinct sense.

Given the WordNet choices:
1. come upon (accident)
2. discover existence
3. locate after searching
4. establish by calculation
5. come to believe
6. perceive/contemporaneous
7. get for specific purpose
8. make discovery (new finding)
9. make discovery (that-clause)
10. obtain through effort
11. decide/declare (legal)
12. receive specified treatment (abstract)
13. perceive oneself
14. get back/recover
15. succeed in reaching/arrive at
16. accept and make use of (find oneself)

"Find satisfaction" is most commonly categorized under sense 12 in WordNet classifications I've seen.

Therefore, the answer is 12.

Sentence: "In a well-known detective-story involving church bells, English novelist Dorothy L. Sayers described ringing as a "passion that finds its <t>satisfaction</t> in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection."

Senses:
1. contentment one feels when one has fulfilled a desire, need, or expectation
2. state of being gratified or satisfied
3. compensation for a wrong
4. (law) payment of a debt or fulfillment of an obligation
5. act of fulfilling a desire or need or appetite

Let me analyze the sentence. The word "satisfaction" here is used in the context of a passion finding its satisfaction in something. The phrase "finds its satisfaction in" means the passion is gratified or fulfilled by mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection.

Looking at sense 1: "the contentment one feels when one has fulfilled a desire, need, or expectation" - This is about a feeling of contentment. But in the sentence, it's the passion itself that finds satisfaction, not necessarily a person feeling contentment. Though it could be metaphorical.

Looking at sense 2: "state of being gratified or satisfied" - This is a state. "finds its satisfaction in" = finds its state of being gratified in. This seems close.

Looking at sense 5: "act of fulfilling a desire or need or appetite" - This is the act of fulfilling. But the sentence says the passion finds its satisfaction in something, meaning the fulfillment/gratification is found in those things.

Wait, let me look more carefully. The phrase is "a passion that finds its satisfaction in..."

If we look at sense 2: "state of being gratified or satisfied" - examples include "dull repetitious work gives no gratification". This is about something providing gratification.

Sense 1: "the contentment one feels" - this is more subjective, a feeling.

Sense 5: "act of fulfilling a desire or need or appetite" - this is the act itself.

In the sentence, "satisfaction" refers to what the passion obtains or achieves - it's the fulfillment or gratification of the passion. The passion finds its fulfillment/gratification in mathematical completeness.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions, "satisfaction" can mean:
- a feeling of pleasure/contentment (sense 1)
- the fulfillment of a need or desire (sense 5)
- compensation (sense 3)
- legal payment (sense 4)

Sense 2 "state of being gratified or satisfied" is very close to sense 1 but more general.

Let me reconsider the example for sense 2: "dull repetitious work gives no gratification" - this shows that "gratification" is the noun form, similar to satisfaction.

But wait, the sentence says "finds its satisfaction in" - this is similar to "finds its fulfillment in".

Sense 5: "act of fulfilling a desire or need or appetite" - examples: "the satisfaction of their demand for better services". This is the act of fulfilling.

But in the sentence, it's not the act of fulfilling the passion, but rather the passion finds its satisfaction (its gratification/fulfillment) in something.

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases, sense 5 might be the "act of fulfilling" while sense 1 is the emotion, and sense 2 is the state.

Let me think about which sense number corresponds to which definition in standard resources. This looks like it might be from WordNet.

WordNet senses for "satisfaction":
1. the contentment one feels when one has fulfilled a desire, need, or expectation
2. state of being gratified or satisfied
3. compensation for a wrong
4. (law) the payment of a debt or fulfillment of an obligation
5. act of fulfilling a desire or need or appetite

Wait, actually in WordNet:
- satisfaction, contentment (the contentment one feels when one has fulfilled a desire, need, or expectation)
- gratification, satisfaction (state of being gratified or satisfied)
- atonement, expiation, satisfaction (compensation for a wrong)
- satisfaction ((law) the payment of a debt or fulfillment of an obligation)
- satisfaction, fulfillment, fulfilment (the act of fulfilling a desire or need or appetite)

In the sentence: "a passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness"

This means the passion is gratified or fulfilled by mathematical completeness. The passion achieves a state of being satisfied.

But "finds its satisfaction in" is an idiom meaning "is fulfilled by" or "achieves gratification through".

Between sense 1 and sense 2 and sense 5:

Sense 1 is specifically about the contentment one feels. But here it's a passion, not a person, though personified.

Sense 2 is "state of being gratified or satisfied". The example "dull repetitious work gives no gratification" shows that activities can give or not give gratification. Similarly, mathematical completeness gives satisfaction to the passion.

Sense 5 is the act of fulfilling. But the sentence doesn't describe an act; it describes a state or condition that the passion finds.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 5: "the satisfaction of their demand for better services" - this is clearly the act/event of fulfilling.

In the target sentence, "finds its satisfaction" - the passion finds its own satisfaction. This satisfaction is a thing that is found, a state or feeling.

I think sense 2 is the best fit: "state of being gratified or satisfied". The passion achieves a state of gratification in mathematical completeness.

But let me double-check. Could it be sense 1? "the contentment one feels..." - but a passion doesn't feel contentment, though it's personified.

Could it be sense 5? "act of fulfilling..." - "finds its act of fulfilling in..." doesn't quite fit.

Sense 2 seems most appropriate: "state of being gratified or satisfied". The passion finds its state of gratification in...

Actually, looking at similar usages, "find satisfaction in" usually maps to sense 1 or 2. But given the specific definitions:

Sense 1: contentment one feels
Sense 2: state of being gratified
Sense 5: act of fulfilling

The phrase "finds its satisfaction in" where the subject is "passion" suggests that the passion achieves fulfillment/gratification. In WordNet, sense 2 is "gratification, satisfaction" defined as "state of being gratified or satisfied".

Wait, I should look at whether this is from a specific dataset like WordNet or Oxford. The formatting suggests WordNet.

In WordNet 3.0:
- satisfaction (n.) 1: the contentment one feels when one has fulfilled a desire, need, or expectation
- satisfaction (n.) 2: state of being gratified or satisfied; "dull repetitious work gives no gratification"; "to my immense gratification he arrived on time"
- satisfaction (n.) 3: compensation for a wrong; "we were unable to get satisfaction from the local store"
- satisfaction (n.) 4: (law) the payment of a debt or fulfillment of an obligation; "the full and final satisfaction of the claim"
- satisfaction (n.) 5: act of fulfilling a desire or need or appetite; "the satisfaction of their demand for better services"

Given the sentence: "a passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness"

If I substitute each sense:
1. finds its contentment in... (possible, but contentment is usually a feeling of a person)
2. finds its state of being gratified in... (awkward but possible)
5. finds its act of fulfilling in... (doesn't make sense)

Hmm, but actually "satisfaction" here might mean the fulfillment of the passion - the passion achieves its fulfillment in mathematical completeness. That would be sense 5.

Wait, let me reconsider. "A passion that finds its satisfaction in..."

Think of similar phrases: "The hobby finds its satisfaction in the results." This means the hobby is satisfied by the results, or the hobby's need is fulfilled by the results.

Actually, looking at dictionary examples, "find satisfaction in" is very commonly used to mean "to feel satisfied by" or "to be fulfilled by".

But in the specific WordNet senses, sense 5 is "the act of fulfilling" while sense 1 is "the contentment one feels".

However, there's a subtle point. The sentence says the passion finds "its" satisfaction - the satisfaction belonging to the passion. The passion's satisfaction is its fulfillment.

Let me look at the example for sense 2 again: "dull repetitious work gives no gratification". Here, "gratification" is what the work gives (or fails to give). Similarly, mathematical completeness gives satisfaction to the passion. And sense 2 is "state of being gratified or satisfied".

But actually, I think the answer might be 5. Let me think again.

"Passion that finds its satisfaction in..." - Consider "a need that finds its satisfaction in..." This would clearly be sense 5 (act of fulfilling or fulfillment of the need). But "passion" is less clearly a need.

However, in the context, ringing is described as a passion. This passion finds its satisfaction (its fulfillment, the thing that satisfies it) in mathematical completeness.

Wait, "satisfaction" can mean "the pleasure obtained from doing something" (sense 1/2) or "the meeting of a need" (sense 5).

Let me look at how "satisfaction" is used with "find". "Find satisfaction in one's work" - this usually means finding pleasure/contentment in one's work (sense 1 or 2).

But the subject here is "passion", not a person. The passion itself finds its satisfaction. This is personification. The passion, like a person, finds its gratification in something.

I think sense 2 is the most accurate because:
- It's not a legal/commercial compensation (rules out 3, 4)
- It's not clearly the "act" of fulfilling (rules out 5, or at least makes it less likely)
- Between 1 and 2: sense 1 specifies "the contentment one feels" - but a passion doesn't feel contentment, it's personified. Sense 2 is more general: "state of being gratified or satisfied". A passion can be described as being in a state of being gratified.

But actually, sense 1 might still apply because of personification.

Let me reconsider sense 5. "The satisfaction of their demand" - here satisfaction is the fulfilling of the demand. "A passion that finds its satisfaction" = a passion that finds its fulfilling (the thing that fulfills it). But "satisfaction" as "act of fulfilling" doesn't quite fit with "finds its" because you don't "find an act" in something.

Actually, you can say "the act finds its satisfaction" but that's awkward.

Let me look for this exact sentence online to see if it's from a known corpus. This looks like it could be from the WordNet SemCor or a similar sense-tagged corpus.

The sentence mentions Dorothy L. Sayers and church bells. This is likely from a literary corpus used for word sense disambiguation.

In SemCor or similar, "satisfaction" in "finds its satisfaction in" is often tagged as sense 2 or 5.

Let me think about the phrase "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection". These are qualities that provide gratification to the passion. The passion is gratified by these qualities.

Sense 2: state of being gratified or satisfied. The passion achieves this state through mathematical completeness.

Sense 1: contentment. A passion doesn't feel contentment.

I think the answer is 2.

Wait, I want to double-check. Could it be 1? "the contentment one feels..." - the example is "the chef tasted the sauce with great satisfaction". This is about a person's feeling. Our sentence is personified, but still...

Actually, looking at the definitions again, sense 2 might be the hypernym or a related concept. But in WordNet, sense 1 and sense 2 are distinct.

Sense 1: contentment (a positive feeling of happiness)
Sense 2: gratification (state of being gratified)

"Gratification" emphasizes the satisfaction of a desire or need, while "contentment" emphasizes the peaceful happiness.

In the sentence, the passion finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection. This is about the fulfillment of the passion's inherent drive, not just a feeling of contentment. The passion is gratified by these things.

I think sense 2 is correct.

But let me also consider if it could be sense 5. "Act of fulfilling a desire or need or appetite". If the passion is the desire/need, then its satisfaction is the act of fulfilling it. But "finds its act of fulfilling in..." is semantically odd. You don't find an act in something; you find a feeling or state.

Therefore, sense 2 seems best.

Actually, I want to reconsider one more time. The phrase "finds its satisfaction" - what does "its" refer to? The passion's satisfaction. The passion possesses the satisfaction. The satisfaction is the state or feeling resulting from the passion being satisfied.

In many dictionaries, "satisfaction" sense 2 (state of being gratified) fits best.

I'll go with 2.

Wait, I just realized I should look more carefully. The user says "Return only the number of the correct sense." So I need to output just a number.

Let me reconsider if there's any chance it's 5. "The satisfaction of their demand for better services" - this is a nominalization of the act of satisfying. "A passion that finds its satisfaction" - could this mean the passion finds the act of satisfying itself? No, that doesn't make sense. It means the passion finds that which satisfies it.

Actually, "satisfaction" can mean "something that satisfies" in some contexts? No, that's not one of the given senses.

Given the choices, and that sense 2 explicitly mentions "gratified or satisfied" and the example uses "gratification", and the sentence is about a passion being gratified by certain qualities, sense 2 is the answer.

Final answer: 2.

The user wants me to identify which sense of "mathematical" is used in the given sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

Sentence: "In a well-known detective-story involving church bells, English novelist Dorothy L. Sayers described ringing as a 'passion that finds its satisfaction in <t>mathematical</t> completeness and mechanical perfection.'"

Key phrase: "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection"

The context is about church bell ringing. The phrase pairs "mathematical" with "completeness" and contrasts or complements it with "mechanical perfection."

Let me look at each sense:

1. "of or pertaining to or of the nature of mathematics" - This is the general definitional sense. While bell ringing might involve mathematics, the specific phrase "mathematical completeness" suggests something more specific than just "relating to mathematics."

2. "relating to or having ability to think in or work with numbers" - This is about numerical aptitude. Doesn't fit well with "completeness."

3. "beyond question" - This means absolute certainty. "Mathematical certainty" is a common phrase, but here we have "mathematical completeness," not certainty.

4. "statistically possible though highly improbable" - This doesn't fit at all with "completeness."

5. "characterized by the exactness or precision of mathematics" - This emphasizes precision, exactness. The phrase "mathematical completeness" alongside "mechanical perfection" suggests precision, exactness, systematic completeness - the idea that bell ringing follows precise patterns or sequences that are exact like mathematics.

Wait, let me reconsider. The phrase is "mathematical completeness."

Sense 3 is "beyond question" with example "mathematical certainty."
Sense 5 is "characterized by the exactness or precision of mathematics" with example "mathematical precision."

"Completeness" here seems to refer to the systematic, precise, exact nature of the patterns in bell ringing. Bell ringing (change ringing) involves precise mathematical patterns and sequences.

But let me look more carefully. The phrase is "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection."

"Mathematical completeness" could mean:
- Complete in a mathematical sense (thorough, systematic, precise)
- Absolutely complete (sense 3: beyond question)

However, sense 3 is defined as "beyond question" and the example is "mathematical certainty." This sense is about certainty/inevitability.

Sense 5 is about exactness and precision. The example is "mathematical precision."

In the context of bell ringing, especially change ringing which involves complex permutations of bells, "mathematical completeness" likely refers to the precise, systematic, exact nature of the patterns - the way the ringing follows exact mathematical sequences.

But wait, I should also consider sense 1: "of or pertaining to or of the nature of mathematics."

Actually, looking at the specific phrase "mathematical completeness" - this is describing a type of completeness that is mathematical in nature.

Let me think about the Dorothy L. Sayers reference. This is likely from "The Nine Tailors" which is about change ringing. In change ringing, the bells are rung in specific mathematical sequences (permutations).

"Mathematical completeness" here likely refers to the systematic, precise, exhaustive nature of the ringing patterns - the exactness and precision of the sequences.

Sense 5: "characterized by the exactness or precision of mathematics" - this seems to fit best. The completeness is characterized by mathematical exactness/precision.

Sense 1 is too general - just "relating to mathematics."
Sense 5 is more specific - characterized by exactness/precision.

The pairing with "mechanical perfection" suggests that "mathematical completeness" is about precision, exactitude, systematic accuracy.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 5: "mathematical precision" - this is very similar to "mathematical completeness" in structure.

Sense 3: "beyond question" - this is about certainty. While "mathematical certainty" is common, "mathematical completeness" in the context of bell ringing isn't about certainty, but about the systematic, exhaustive, precise nature of the patterns.

I think the answer is 5.

But let me double-check. Could it be sense 1?

Sense 1: "of or pertaining to or of the nature of mathematics"
Sense 5: "characterized by the exactness or precision of mathematics"

The phrase "mathematical completeness" suggests a specific quality of completeness - one that has the characteristics of mathematics (exact, precise, systematic).

In "The Nine Tailors," the bell ringing involves complex changes that follow mathematical patterns. The "completeness" refers to the full execution of these patterns with precision.

Sense 5 seems most appropriate.

Wait, I should also consider if it could be sense 3. "Beyond question" - could "mathematical completeness" mean "absolute completeness" or "complete beyond question"?

In some contexts, "mathematical" can mean "absolute" or "strict" when used with words like "certainty" or "precision." But "completeness" is different.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 3: "a mathematical certainty" - this means absolute certainty.
For sense 5: "mathematical precision" - this means precise like mathematics.

"Mathematical completeness" would most naturally mean completeness that is characterized by mathematical exactness - i.e., systematic, precise, following exact rules.

I think 5 is the correct answer.

But let me reconsider the exact wording of sense 1: "of or pertaining to or of the nature of mathematics."

If something is "mathematical completeness," it could mean completeness that pertains to mathematics (sense 1) OR completeness characterized by mathematical exactness (sense 5).

However, sense 1 is very broad. The example "a mathematical textbook" shows it's about the field of mathematics.

Sense 5 is more specific about the quality: exactness, precision.

Given the context of "mechanical perfection" paired with it, and the context of bell ringing requiring precise execution, sense 5 fits best.

Actually, I want to check if there's any chance it's sense 3. "Beyond question" - could the sentence mean that the completeness is beyond question? Like "absolute completeness"?

The phrase is: "a passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection."

This suggests that the ringing provides satisfaction through achieving a state that is complete in a mathematical way and perfect in a mechanical way.

In change ringing, "completeness" might refer to completing a full set of changes (permutations), which is a mathematical concept. But the satisfaction comes from the exactness, precision, systematic nature.

I think I'm overthinking this. Let me look at the structure:

Sense 1: General relation to mathematics
Sense 2: Numerical ability
Sense 3: Beyond question (certainty)
Sense 4: Statistically possible but improbable
Sense 5: Exactness or precision

"Mathematical completeness" in the context of Dorothy L. Sayers and bell ringing is almost certainly referring to the precise, systematic, exact nature of the patterns. The word "completeness" here is modified by "mathematical" to suggest a completeness that is exact, precise, systematic - like mathematics.

Therefore: Sense 5.

One more check: Could it be sense 1? If we interpret "mathematical completeness" as "completeness of a mathematical nature" or "completeness related to mathematics."

But sense 5 is more specific and captures the connotation better. The example "mathematical precision" is structurally parallel to "mathematical completeness."

Also, looking at the other senses:
- Sense 2 is about ability with numbers - doesn't fit.
- Sense 3 is about certainty - "mathematical completeness" doesn't mean "certain completeness" in this context.
- Sense 4 is about probability - doesn't fit.

So it's between 1 and 5.

Sense 1 examples: "a mathematical textbook" - this is about the subject matter.
Sense 5 examples: "mathematical precision" - this is about a quality characterized by mathematics.

"Mathematical completeness" is describing a quality of the ringing - it has completeness that is mathematical (precise, exact, systematic).

I think the answer is 5.

Sentence: "In a well-known detective-story involving church bells, English novelist Dorothy L. Sayers described ringing as a 'passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical <t>completeness</t> and mechanical perfection.'"

Senses:
1. definition=the state of being complete and entire; having everything that is needed
2. definition=(logic) an attribute of a logical system that is so constituted that a contradiction arises if any proposition is introduced that cannot be derived from the axioms of the system

Let me analyze the context. The sentence mentions "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection."

Wait, sense 2 is specifically about logic: "an attribute of a logical system that is so constituted that a contradiction arises if any proposition is introduced that cannot be derived from the axioms of the system." This is Gödel's completeness theorem or similar logical/mathematical logic concepts.

But in the context of church bell ringing (change ringing), "mathematical completeness" likely refers to the mathematical completeness of ringing all possible permutations of the bells - having everything that is needed, the full set. In change ringing, a "complete" set of changes means ringing all possible permutations. So "mathematical completeness" here means the state of being complete and entire - having all the permutations, everything that is needed.

Wait, let me reconsider. The phrase is "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection."

In the context of Dorothy L. Sayers' "The Nine Tailors" (which is the detective story involving church bells), the character talks about change ringing. In change ringing, ringers seek to ring all possible permutations of the bells (a "peal" or "extent"). The "mathematical completeness" refers to the complete set of changes - the fact that all permutations are rung. This aligns with sense 1: the state of being complete and entire; having everything that is needed.

Sense 2 is a very specific technical term in mathematical logic (Gödel's completeness theorem, etc.). While the phrase "mathematical completeness" might sound like it could be sense 2, in the context of bell ringing and Dorothy Sayers, it's about the completeness of the set of permutations - i.e., having rung all possible combinations, nothing missing.

Actually, let me double-check. Is there any chance this is sense 2? Sense 2 is specifically about logical systems and contradictions arising from propositions not derivable from axioms. That's extremely technical and unlikely to be the meaning in a literary quote about bell ringing, even when described as "mathematical."

The phrase "mathematical completeness" in the context of change ringing refers to the mathematical nature of the patterns and the desire to achieve a complete set (all permutations). This is sense 1.

Wait, I should verify what Dorothy L. Sayers actually wrote. In "The Nine Tailors," Lord Peter Wimsey is an accomplished bell ringer. The quote is likely from that novel. The "mathematical completeness" refers to the satisfaction of completing a peal - ringing a complete set of changes. This is definitely sense 1.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

But let me be absolutely sure. Could "mathematical completeness" be interpreted as sense 2? In mathematical logic, completeness has a precise meaning. But the sentence pairs it with "mechanical perfection" - suggesting physical/mechanical execution of the bell ringing. The "completeness" is about the wholeness, the entire set being rung. Sense 1 fits much better.

Also, sense 1 is the general meaning, while sense 2 is a specialized logical meaning. The context of a detective story (even one involving mathematics) would use the general meaning unless specifically discussing formal logic, which this isn't.

So the answer is 1.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "mechanical" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "In a well-known detective-story involving church bells, English novelist Dorothy L. Sayers described ringing as a 'passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and <t>mechanical</t> perfection.'"

 The word "mechanical" here is paired with "mathematical completeness" and used to describe "perfection" in the context of church bell ringing.

 Let me look at the three senses:

 1. "using (or as if using) mechanisms or tools or devices" - example: "a mechanical process"
    This suggests something done by machine or automatic.

 2. "relating to or concerned with machinery or tools" - example: "mechanical arts"
    This relates to the field of mechanics or machinery.

 3. "relating to or governed by or in accordance with mechanics" - example: "a belief that the universe is a mechanical contrivance"
    This relates to the laws of mechanics or physics, or mechanical principles.

 In the context of the sentence, Dorothy L. Sayers is talking about bell ringing (change ringing, likely). The phrase "mechanical perfection" here seems to refer to perfection in the mechanical aspects or physical execution of ringing bells - the precision, timing, and physical coordination required.

 Wait, let me think more carefully. "Mechanical perfection" in the context of bell ringing...

 Actually, looking at the sentence structure: "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection"

 In change ringing (which is what Dorothy L. Sayers wrote about in "The Nine Tailors"), the ringing involves complex mathematical patterns and requires precise mechanical execution - the physical ringing of the bells.

 But which sense fits best?

 Sense 1: "using mechanisms" - this would imply the perfection is achieved using mechanisms.
 Sense 2: "relating to machinery" - this would mean perfection related to machinery.
 Sense 3: "governed by mechanics" - this would mean perfection according to mechanical principles.

 Actually, looking at sense 3's example: "a belief that the universe is a mechanical contrivance" - this suggests the philosophical sense of mechanics.

 But in the context of bell ringing, "mechanical perfection" most likely refers to the physical, technical perfection of the ringing process - the mechanics of ringing bells.

 Let me reconsider the specific senses provided:

 Sense 1: "using (or as if using) mechanisms or tools or devices"
 Sense 2: "relating to or concerned with machinery or tools"
 Sense 3: "relating to or governed by or in accordance with mechanics"

 In the context of the quote, Sayers is contrasting the mathematical/theoretical aspect with the physical/technical aspect of bell ringing. "Mathematical completeness" refers to the abstract patterns, while "mechanical perfection" refers to the flawless physical execution.

 "Mechanical" here relates to the mechanics of the operation - the physical movements and techniques.

 Looking at sense 3: "relating to or governed by or in accordance with mechanics" - this seems to fit best because it refers to the principles of mechanics (the science of motion and forces), which would govern the ringing of bells.

 But wait, sense 2 is "relating to or concerned with machinery or tools."

 Church bells are machinery/tools, so perfection relating to that machinery could be sense 2.

 However, "mechanical perfection" in the context of bell ringing usually refers to the execution being perfect in a mechanical sense - precise, automatic, flawless in its physical execution - which aligns with sense 1 or 3.

 Let me look at the examples again:
 1. "a mechanical process" - suggests automatic or machine-like
 2. "mechanical arts" - suggests the craft/trade of working with machinery
 3. "a belief that the universe is a mechanical contrivance" - suggests operating according to mechanical laws

 In the sentence, "mechanical perfection" parallels "mathematical completeness." Both describe qualities of the ringing. The ringing has mathematical completeness (the patterns are complete/perfect) and mechanical perfection (the execution is physically perfect).

 Given that bell ringing involves heavy bells moving in specific ways (mechanics), and the perfection refers to how well the physical action is performed, sense 3 seems most appropriate: "relating to or governed by or in accordance with mechanics."

 But I should consider if it could be sense 1: "using mechanisms." The perfection isn't using mechanisms; it's perfection of the mechanical aspects.

 Actually, looking at this more carefully. The phrase is "mechanical perfection."

 If we look at dictionary definitions, "mechanical" can mean:
 - relating to machines (sense 2)
 - relating to mechanics as a science (sense 3)
 - automatic, unthinking, machine-like (sense 1, though sense 1's definition says "using mechanisms" which is a bit different)

 Wait, sense 1 says "using (or as if using) mechanisms or tools or devices" with example "a mechanical process."

 Sense 3 says "relating to or governed by or in accordance with mechanics."

 In the context of Dorothy L. Sayers and bell ringing, she's referring to the technical, physical precision required in change ringing. The bells must be rung with perfect timing and technique.

 "Mechanical perfection" here means perfection in the mechanical aspects - the physical execution.

 I think sense 3 is the best fit: "relating to or governed by or in accordance with mechanics."

 However, looking at sense 2: "relating to or concerned with machinery or tools."

 Church bells are machinery. So perfection relating to machinery could be sense 2.

 But "mechanical perfection" is a phrase that usually means perfection in the mechanical execution - like a machine working perfectly. This aligns with sense 3 (governed by mechanics - working according to mechanical principles perfectly).

 Actually, looking at the WordNet senses or similar dictionary groupings:

 Sense 1 seems to be about the nature of being mechanical (machine-like, automatic).
 Sense 2 seems to be about the domain (the field of mechanics/machinery).
 Sense 3 seems to be about the scientific principles (laws of mechanics).

 In "mechanical perfection" describing bell ringing, it's about the physical execution being perfect according to mechanical principles.

 I think the answer is 3.

 But let me double-check. Could it be 1? "Using mechanisms"? The perfection isn't using mechanisms. The ringing uses mechanisms (the bells), but the perfection is described as mechanical.

 Could it be 2? "Relating to machinery"? The perfection relates to machinery? Maybe.

 But "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection" - mathematical relates to mathematics, mechanical relates to mechanics. This parallelism suggests sense 3: relating to mechanics (the science).

 Also, the example for sense 3 is "a belief that the universe is a mechanical contrivance" - mechanical here means operating by mechanical principles/laws.

 In bell ringing, "mechanical perfection" would mean the physical actions are executed with the precision of a well-tuned machine, following mechanical principles.

 I think 3 is correct.

 Wait, I should reconsider sense 1. "Using (or as if using) mechanisms... a mechanical process."

 If the perfection is "mechanical," it could mean it is like that of a mechanism - precise, automatic, machine-like. This would fit sense 1.

 But sense 1's definition emphasizes "using mechanisms" while the example is "a mechanical process."

 Sense 3's definition emphasizes "governed by or in accordance with mechanics."

 Given the context of Dorothy L. Sayers' "The Nine Tailors," she is describing change ringing, which is highly technical. The "mechanical perfection" refers to the flawless execution of the physical ringing.

 I found a reference: In discussions of this quote, "mechanical" refers to the technical, physical skill as opposed to the mathematical theory.

 Between sense 2 (machinery) and sense 3 (mechanics as science), sense 3 is broader and more appropriate for "perfection" in execution. Sense 2 would be more about the trade or field.

 Actually, looking at the exact wording again:

 1. using (or as if using) mechanisms or tools or devices
 2. relating to or concerned with machinery or tools
 3. relating to or governed by or in accordance with mechanics

 "Mechanical perfection" in the artistic/technical sense usually means perfection in the mechanics of the art - how well it's executed physically. This is sense 3.

 But I want to be careful. Let me think about similar usage. "Mechanical precision" - would that be sense 1, 2, or 3?

 "Mechanical precision" usually means precision like that of a machine or according to mechanical principles - sense 1 or 3.

 Given that sense 1 is "using mechanisms" and sense 3 is "governed by mechanics," and perfection isn't "using" something but rather "being governed by" or "according to" principles, sense 3 fits better.

 Also, the contrast with "mathematical completeness" strongly suggests "mechanical" = relating to mechanics, forming a pair with mathematical (relating to mathematics).

 So my answer is 3.

The user wants me to identify which sense of "perfection" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is:

"In a well-known detective-story involving church bells, English novelist Dorothy L. Sayers described ringing as a "passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical <t>perfection</t>. ""

The options are:
1. definition=the state of being without a flaw or defect
2. definition=an ideal instance; a perfect embodiment of a concept
3. definition=the act of making something perfect

Let me analyze the context. The phrase is "mechanical perfection" and it's paired with "mathematical completeness."

Looking at the context: "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection"

This seems to refer to the state of the mechanical system (the bell ringing mechanism or the performance) being without flaw or defect. The phrase "mechanical perfection" suggests a state where the mechanics work perfectly - without flaws or defects.

Let me consider each option:

1. "the state of being without a flaw or defect" - This fits well. "Mechanical perfection" means the mechanics are without flaw or defect. The phrase describes the quality of the ringing or the mechanism as being flawless.

2. "an ideal instance; a perfect embodiment of a concept" - This would mean "perfection" refers to an example or instance that is perfect. But "mechanical perfection" here seems to describe a quality or state, not a specific instance or embodiment.

3. "the act of making something perfect" - This would be the process of perfecting something. But the context "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection" suggests two states or qualities, not an action. The satisfaction comes from these states, not from the act of making them perfect.

Looking more carefully: "a passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection"

"Mathematical completeness" is a state/quality.
"Mechanical perfection" is parallel to it, so it should also be a state/quality.

Sense 1: the state of being without a flaw or defect - this is a state/quality.
Sense 2: an ideal instance - this is a countable noun referring to a specific thing.
Sense 3: the act - this is a process.

"Mechanical perfection" in this context refers to the flawless state of the mechanical operation or the mechanical system. It describes the quality of being mechanically perfect - without flaws.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate.

Wait, let me double-check Sense 2. Could "mechanical perfection" mean a perfect mechanical instance? Like "this clock is a mechanical perfection"?

In the phrase "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection," both are abstract nouns describing qualities. "Completeness" is clearly a state/quality. "Perfection" parallel to it would also be a state/quality.

Sense 1: the state of being without a flaw or defect
Sense 2: an ideal instance (a countable noun, like "this is a perfection of engineering")

In the context: "finds its satisfaction in... mechanical perfection" - the satisfaction comes from experiencing or achieving the state of flawlessness, not from looking at an ideal instance.

Also, looking at typical dictionary definitions:
- Perfection can mean: 1) the state of being perfect (flawless), 2) the process of making something perfect, 3) a perfect example.

In "mechanical perfection," this is an uncountable usage describing a quality or state. This matches Sense 1.

Sense 2 is typically used as "a perfection" or in phrases like "the perfection of beauty" meaning the ideal form.

But actually, looking at the specific wording of Sense 2: "an ideal instance; a perfect embodiment of a concept" - this suggests a concrete example that embodies perfection.

Sense 1: "the state of being without a flaw or defect" - abstract state.

In the sentence, "mechanical perfection" describes the quality of the bell-ringing - that it is mechanically flawless. This is Sense 1.

The answer should be 1.

Wait, I want to make sure. Let me look at the specific context of Dorothy L. Sayers. She wrote about change-ringing (campanology). The phrase is from "The Nine Tailors" perhaps?

In change-ringing, the "mechanical perfection" refers to the precise, mathematical execution of the ringing patterns without error. It's about the flawlessness of the performance - the state of being without defect in the mechanical execution.

Yes, Sense 1 is definitely correct.

Sense 3 is clearly wrong because it's not about the act of making something perfect.
Sense 2 is about an instance/example, which doesn't fit the parallel structure with "completeness."

Therefore: 1

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "ringer" is used in the given sentence.

 Sentence: "<t>Ringers</t>, she added, are "filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed.""

 Let me analyze the context:
 - The sentence mentions "intricate ritual faultlessly performed"
 - This suggests some kind of ceremonial or ritualistic activity
 - The phrase "solemn intoxication" suggests a serious, perhaps religious or traditional context

 Now let's look at the definitions:
 1. definition=a person who rings church bells (as for summoning the congregation)
 2. definition=a person who is almost identical to another
 3. definition=a contestant entered in a competition under false pretenses
 4. definition=(horseshoes) the successful throw of a horseshoe or quoit so as to encircle a stake or peg

 Definition 1 (church bell ringers) fits well with:
 - "intricate ritual" - bell ringing in churches often involves complex patterns and is ritualistic
 - "faultlessly performed" - bell ringing requires skill and precision
 - "solemn intoxication" - church bell ringing is often associated with solemn occasions and can be spiritually moving

 Definition 2 (look-alike) doesn't fit with the context of ritual performance.

 Definition 3 (false pretenses in competition) doesn't fit with the solemn, ritualistic tone.

 Definition 4 (horseshoes) is about a specific game action, not people who perform rituals.

 The sentence is clearly referring to bell ringers, specifically church bell ringers who perform the intricate ritual of change ringing or similar bell ringing patterns.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

 Sentence: "Ringers, she <t>added</t>, are "filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed. ""

 The word "added" here is used in the context of someone speaking and adding a comment or statement to what was previously said.

 Let me look at the senses:

 1. make an addition (to); join or combine or unite with others; increase the quality, quantity, size or scope of | examples=We added two students to that dorm room
 - This is about physically adding or combining things/people. Not right for speech.

 2. definition=state or say further | examples=`It doesn't matter,' he supplied
 - This fits! "State or say further" - when someone is speaking and adds more information or a comment. The example shows someone supplying/saying something.

 3. definition=bestow a quality on | examples=Her presence lends a certain cachet to the company
 - This is about contributing a quality. Not right.

 4. definition=make an addition by combining numbers | examples=Add 27 and 49, please!
 - Mathematical addition. Not right.

 5. definition=determine the sum of | examples=Add all the people in this town to those of the neighboring town
 - Also mathematical/statistical. Not right.

 6. definition=constitute an addition | examples=This paper will add to her reputation
 - This is about contributing to or enhancing something. Not the speech act sense.

 In the sentence, "Ringers, she added, are..." - this is clearly a reporting verb used in dialogue or reported speech. The speaker is stating or saying something further. This matches sense 2.

 The example for sense 2 is: "`It doesn't matter,' he supplied" - which shows a similar usage of a verb of speaking.

 Therefore, the answer is 2.

 Sentence: "Ringers, she added, are "<t>filled</t> with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed."

 Let me analyze the sentence:
 - The subject is "Ringers" (likely referring to bell ringers)
 - They are "filled with the solemn intoxication"
 - This describes a state of being generously supplied with or full of a particular emotion/feeling (solemn intoxication)

 Now let's look at the senses:

 1. definition=(usually followed by `with' or used as a combining form) generously supplied with | examples=theirs was a house filled with laughter
 - This matches the pattern "filled with" + abstract noun (solemn intoxication)
 - "Generously supplied with" fits the meaning here - the ringers are full of/supplied with solemn intoxication

 2. definition=of purchase orders that have been filled
 - This is a technical/commercial sense referring to orders
 - Doesn't match the context at all

 3. definition=(of time) taken up | examples=well-filled hours
 - This refers to time being occupied
 - The sentence is about people (ringers) having a feeling, not about time

 The sentence uses "filled with" to describe being full of or generously supplied with an emotion/state (solemn intoxication). This matches sense 1.

 The answer is 1.

Senses:
1. definition=dignified and somber in manner or character and committed to keeping promises | examples=a grave God-fearing man

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "solemn" is used in the given sentence.

The sentence is: "Ringers, she added, are 'filled with the <t>solemn</t> intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed.'"

Let me analyze the two senses provided:

Sense 1: "dignified and somber in manner or character and committed to keeping promises" - examples include "a grave God-fearing man"
Sense 2: "characterized by a firm and humorless belief in the validity of your opinions" - examples include "both sides were deeply in earnest, even passionate"

Now looking at the context: "solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed"

The phrase "solemn intoxication" here seems to refer to a dignified, serious, or grave feeling associated with performing a ritual. The word "solemn" is modifying "intoxication" (metaphorically) and is associated with "intricate ritual."

Sense 1 mentions "dignified and somber" which fits with the context of ritual performance. The phrase "solemn intoxication" suggests a serious, dignified state of being carried away by the ritual.

Sense 2 is about being firm and humorless in one's opinions, which doesn't fit the context of ritual performance and intoxication.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct answer.

Wait, let me double-check. The sentence mentions "intricate ritual faultlessly performed" - this suggests a serious, dignified, formal context. "Solemn" here means serious, formal, dignified - which aligns with Sense 1.

Sense 2 is about being earnest or serious in a way that suggests being humorless about one's opinions, which doesn't fit.

So the answer should be 1.

- This means the intoxication results from or is produced by the intricate ritual
- "comes of" here means "results from" or "arises from"

Now let's look at the definitions:

1. move toward - doesn't fit
2. reach a destination - doesn't fit
3. come to pass; arrive in due course - doesn't quite fit
4. reach or enter a state - could be close, but "comes of" is specific
5. to be the product or result - "Melons come from a vine" - this is close, but the example shows physical origin
6. be found or available - doesn't fit
7. come forth - doesn't fit
8. be a native of - doesn't fit
9. extend or reach - doesn't fit
10. exist or occur in a certain point - doesn't fit
11. cover a certain distance - doesn't fit
12. come under, be classified - doesn't fit
13. happen as a result - "Nothing good will come of this" - This looks like a perfect match! The phrase "come of" means to result from or be the consequence of.
14. add up - doesn't fit
15. develop into - doesn't fit
16. be received - doesn't fit
17. come to one's mind - doesn't fit
18. come from; be connected by blood - close, but this is about lineage/ancestry
19. proceed or get along - doesn't fit
20. experience orgasm - doesn't fit
21. have a certain priority - doesn't fit

Definition 13: "happen as a result" with the example "Nothing good will come of this"

In the sentence: "the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual"

"Comes of" means "results from" or "is the result of". This matches definition 13.

Let me double-check definition 5: "to be the product or result" with example "Melons come from a vine". This is about origin/source, typically physical.

Definition 13 specifically mentions "happen as a result" and uses the phrase "come of" in the example.

Actually, looking more carefully at definition 5: "to be the product or result" - this could also fit. But the example "Melons come from a vine" suggests it's about origin/source.

Definition 13: "happen as a result" - example: "Nothing good will come of this"

The phrase "come of" in the sentence is exactly the phrase used in definition 13's example. The meaning is "result from".

Therefore, the answer should be 13.

Wait, let me reconsider if it could be definition 5. Definition 5 says "to be the product or result" - example "Melons come from a vine". This is about where something originates from.

Definition 13 says "happen as a result" - example "Nothing good will come of this". This is about consequences or outcomes of actions.

In the sentence: "solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual" - the intoxication is a result/consequence of performing the ritual. This aligns with definition 13.

Also, looking at the phrase "come of" - this is an idiom meaning "to result from" and is explicitly mentioned in definition 13.

So I'm confident the answer is 13.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "ritual" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is:

"Ringers, she added, are "filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate <t>ritual</t> faultlessly performed. ""

The senses are:
1. definition=any customary observance or practice
2. definition=the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies
3. definition=stereotyped behavior

Let me analyze the context. The sentence mentions "Ringers" (likely church bell ringers) and "solemn intoxication" and "intricate ritual faultlessly performed."

Church bell ringing often involves complex patterns and sequences that are performed according to specific rules and procedures. While this could be religious (sense 2), the context emphasizes the intricate nature of the performance and the "faultlessly performed" aspect.

However, looking at the specific context of bell ringing - change ringing or campanology - this involves specific patterns and methods that are followed precisely. But is it religious?

The word "solemn" suggests a religious or serious ceremonial context, but let's look more carefully.

Actually, looking at the phrase "intricate ritual faultlessly performed" - this seems to be describing the detailed, complex procedure of bell ringing. Bell ringing in churches is often considered a religious ceremony or part of religious services.

But wait, sense 2 is specifically about "the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies." Sense 1 is "any customary observance or practice." Sense 3 is "stereotyped behavior."

Let me think about the nuances. The sentence describes bell ringers experiencing "solemn intoxication" from performing intricate ritual. This suggests the ritual is the complex set of actions involved in ringing bells.

In the context of change ringing (bell ringing), the "ritual" refers to the precise, intricate patterns and methods that must be followed. This could fit sense 1 (customary practice) or sense 2 (religious ceremony procedure).

However, the word "solemn" and the context of church bells suggests a religious connection. But the phrase "intricate ritual" emphasizing the complexity and precision might be referring to the technical procedure rather than the religious aspect per se.

Let me reconsider the WordNet senses or standard dictionary definitions. Typically:
Sense 1: A ritual as any established procedure or practice (general)
Sense 2: Specifically religious ritual
Sense 3: Stereotyped/repetitive behavior (often used in anthropology or psychology)

The sentence mentions "solemn intoxication" which suggests something deeply meaningful or spiritual, but the focus is on the intricate nature of the ritual and the performance of it.

Actually, looking at this more carefully - this quote is likely from Dorothy L. Sayers' "The Nine Tailors" or similar literature about bell ringing. In bell ringing, the "ritual" refers to the precise methods and patterns of ringing the bells.

But which sense is it? If the ritual is specifically about religious ceremony, it would be sense 2. If it's about the customary practice of ringing bells (which is a technical skill with established patterns), it might be sense 1.

However, looking at the word "solemn" and the context of church bells, and the phrase "religious ceremonies" in sense 2 - church bell ringing is part of religious ceremonies.

But wait - "intricate ritual faultlessly performed" - the emphasis is on the complexity and precision. This sounds like it could be referring to the technical procedure.

Let me think about how these senses are typically distinguished:
- Sense 1 (any customary observance): Broad, includes secular rituals like tea ceremonies, graduation ceremonies, etc.
- Sense 2 (prescribed procedure for religious ceremonies): Specifically the religious context
- Sense 3 (stereotyped behavior): Often used for animal behavior or unconscious repetitive actions

Given that this is about church bell ringers, and church bells are used in religious contexts, and the word "solemn" is used (which often connotes religious seriousness), this is most likely sense 2.

However, I should be careful. The phrase "intricate ritual" combined with "faultlessly performed" suggests a focus on the detailed procedure. But in the context of WordNet or similar lexical databases, sense 2 is specifically about religious ceremonies.

Actually, looking at similar examples and the specific wording - "intricate ritual" emphasizing the complexity - this could be sense 1. But the religious context points to sense 2.

Let me reconsider the specific definitions provided:
1. definition=any customary observance or practice
2. definition=the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies
3. definition=stereotyped behavior

The sentence mentions "Ringers" - in British English, this often refers to bell ringers in church towers. The "solemn intoxication" and "intricate ritual faultlessly performed" describes the experience of performing the complex patterns of change ringing.

Change ringing is the art of ringing a set of tuned bells in mathematical patterns. While it takes place in church towers, is it considered a "religious ceremony"? The ringing itself is often done for religious services, but the intricate patterns (methods) are more of a customary practice or technical art form.

However, the definition in sense 2 specifically says "the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies." If the bell ringing is part of a religious ceremony, then sense 2 applies.

But looking at the quote more carefully - "intricate ritual faultlessly performed" - this seems to emphasize the detailed, precise nature of the actions. The word "intricate" suggests complexity of procedure.

Let me search my knowledge base for this specific quote. This appears to be from Dorothy L. Sayers' "The Nine Tailors" (1934), a mystery novel about bell ringing. The full context is about change ringing.

In change ringing, the "ritual" would be the precise methods and rules for ringing the bells in specific patterns. This is a customary observance or practice (sense 1) rather than specifically the procedure for conducting religious ceremonies (sense 2), even though it happens in a church context.

However, looking at the word "solemn" - this is key. "Solemn intoxication" suggests something sacred or ceremonial.

Actually, let me reconsider whether this is specifically about religious ceremony. Church bell ringing is indeed part of religious ceremonies. The prescribed way of ringing bells for services would be sense 2.

But the phrase "intricate" is the key modifier here. Religious ceremonies can be intricate, but "intricate ritual" often refers to the complex steps involved.

Wait - I need to be more systematic. Let me look at what distinguishes these senses in standard lexical resources like WordNet.

WordNet senses for "ritual":
1. rite, religious rite - an established ceremony prescribed by a religion
2. ritual - any customary observance or practice
3. ritual - stereotyped behavior

Actually, looking at standard WordNet:
- Sense 1: any customary practice (broader)
- Sense 2: the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies (more specific)

The sentence mentions "solemn intoxication" which has religious connotations. "Solemn" is often associated with religious ceremonies.

Given the context of church bell ringing and the word "solemn," sense 2 seems most appropriate.

However, I want to double-check. Could it be sense 1? "Any customary observance" - bell ringing is a customary practice. But the specificity of "intricate" and "solemn" suggests the formal, religious nature.

Let me think about the phrase "intricate ritual faultlessly performed" again. This emphasizes the precision and complexity. In the context of religious ceremonies, there are often intricate rituals that must be performed exactly.

But actually, looking at typical usage examples:
- Sense 1: "the ritual of morning coffee" - any custom
- Sense 2: "the ritual of the Catholic Mass" - specifically religious
- Sense 3: "mating rituals of birds" - stereotyped/instinctive behavior

Given "solemn intoxication" and the context (Ringers likely means church bell ringers), this is most consistent with sense 2.

Wait, I should consider if "Ringers" could mean something else? Wedding ringers? No, that doesn't make sense. Bell ringers is the clear meaning, especially with "intricate ritual" describing the complex patterns of change ringing.

In change ringing, is the activity considered a "religious ceremony"? The bells are rung for church services, and the ringing itself is often considered a religious duty or act of worship. The intricate methods are the prescribed procedures.

I think the answer is 2.

But let me reconsider once more. Could it be sense 1? The definition says "any customary observance or practice." Bell ringing is a customary practice. But the modifier "intricate" and "solemn" lean toward the formal, religious sense.

Actually, looking at the exact wording of sense 2: "the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies." This is quite specific. It refers to the procedure itself, not just any activity that happens in a church.

If the sentence is describing the bell ringing as a procedure for conducting religious ceremonies, then sense 2 fits.

However, there's another angle. The phrase "stereotyped behavior" (sense 3) usually refers to repetitive, fixed patterns. "Intricate ritual" with "faultlessly performed" could potentially fit this, as it emphasizes the fixed, repetitive nature. But "stereotyped" usually has a negative or neutral connotation in psychology, while "solemn intoxication" suggests something meaningful and positive.

Also, "intricate" suggests complexity, while "stereotyped" suggests simple repetition.

So sense 3 is unlikely.

Between sense 1 and 2:
- Sense 1 is broader: any customary practice
- Sense 2 is narrower: specifically religious ceremony procedures

The context of church bells + "solemn" strongly suggests religious context. Therefore, sense 2.

Actually, I want to verify this is from WordNet or similar. The format suggests WordNet synsets.

WordNet 3.1 for "ritual":
1. ritual - any customary observance or practice (hypernym: custom, usage)
2. ritual - the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies (hypernym: procedure, process)
3. ritual - stereotyped behavior (hypernym: attitude, mental attitude)

Given the emphasis on "intricate" and "faultlessly performed," this emphasizes the procedural aspect. Combined with the religious context (church bell ringers, solemn), this aligns with sense 2.

The answer should be 2.
