reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "accept" is used in the sentence: "They are not <t>accepted</t> everywhere, however."

Let me analyze the sentence context. The sentence says "They are not accepted everywhere." This suggests that "they" (some people, things, or ideas) are not welcomed, allowed, or approved of in all places.

Looking at the definitions:

1. "consider or hold as true" - This is about believing something. Example: accepting a doctrine. Doesn't fit "accepted everywhere" well.

2. "receive willingly something given or offered" - This is about receiving gifts or offers. Doesn't fit the context of being accepted everywhere.

3. "give an affirmative reply to; respond favorably to" - This is about responding to invitations or requests. Doesn't fit.

4. "react favorably to; consider right and proper" - This is about approving of something. "People did not accept atonal music at that time." This is close - it's about whether something is welcomed or approved.

5. "admit into a group or community" - This is about admitting people into groups. "Accept students for graduate study." This could fit if "they" refers to people being admitted to places or groups.

6. "take on as one's own the expenses or debts" - Financial meaning. Doesn't fit.

7. "tolerate or accommodate oneself to" - This is about putting up with something. "Accept these unpleasant working conditions."

8. "be designed to hold or take" - Physical capacity. Doesn't fit.

9. "receive (a report) officially" - Formal official receipt. Doesn't fit.

10. "make use of or accept for some purpose" - Using something for a purpose.

11. "be sexually responsive to" - Biological meaning. Doesn't fit.

Now between 4, 5, and possibly others.

"They are not accepted everywhere" - This could mean:
- They are not admitted into every place/group (sense 5)
- They are not welcomed/approved of everywhere (sense 4)
- They are not tolerated everywhere (sense 7)

The phrase "accepted everywhere" often refers to whether something is approved of, recognized, or allowed in various places or contexts.

Looking at sense 4: "react favorably to; consider right and proper" with the example "People did not accept atonal music at that time." This seems to match "They are not accepted everywhere" - meaning people in various places do not react favorably to them or consider them right/proper.

Sense 5: "admit into a group or community" - example "accept students for graduate study." This is more about formal admission to a specific group.

Sense 7: "tolerate or accommodate oneself to" - this is about an individual accepting conditions, not about "they" being accepted by others.

Actually, looking more carefully at sense 5: "admit into a group or community." If "they" refers to people (like immigrants, minorities, etc.), then "not accepted everywhere" could mean not admitted to certain places or groups.

But sense 4 with the example about atonal music not being accepted seems very similar to "They are not accepted everywhere."

Wait, I need to think about the specific context. The sentence is "They are not <t>accepted</t> everywhere, however."

The word "everywhere" suggests geographic or widespread social acceptance.

Sense 4: "react favorably to; consider right and proper" - this is about social/cultural acceptance. The example: "People did not accept atonal music at that time" shows a general social attitude.

Sense 5 is about specific admission to a group.

I think sense 4 is the best fit. The sentence is saying that whatever "they" refers to (likely some practice, custom, group of people, or thing) is not welcomed or considered proper in all places.

Let me reconsider sense 5. Could "They are not accepted everywhere" mean they are not admitted to every university or every club? That's possible, but "everywhere" suggests a broader scope than specific group admission.

Sense 7 is about an individual accepting circumstances, not about being accepted by others.

Actually, looking at sense 4 again: "react favorably to; consider right and proper." This is about general approval.

Sense 2 is about receiving something offered.

Let me look for similar dictionary definitions of "accept" to see which sense this corresponds to.

In many dictionaries, "accept" meaning "to approve of" or "to regard as true/valid" is common.

But looking at the specific definitions provided:

Sense 1: Consider or hold as true (intellectual acceptance)
Sense 4: React favorably to; consider right and proper (social/approval acceptance)

The sentence "They are not accepted everywhere" is most likely sense 4 or sense 5.

If "they" refers to credit cards, for example: "Credit cards are not accepted everywhere" - this would be sense 2? No, sense 2 is "receive willingly something given or offered."

Actually, for credit cards, "not accepted everywhere" means not every merchant will receive/take them. That might be sense 2.

But the examples matter. Let me look at the examples again:

Sense 2 examples: "The only girl who would have him was the miller's daughter" - this is about receiving a person (in marriage). "Have him" means accept him as a husband.

Sense 4 example: "People did not accept atonal music at that time" - general social acceptance.

Sense 5 example: "accept students for graduate study" - formal admission.

The phrase "not accepted everywhere" without more context is ambiguous, but looking at the pattern of these sense distinctions:

Sense 1 = believe (accept an idea as true)
Sense 2 = receive/take what is offered (accept a gift, accept a person)
Sense 3 = agree to (accept an invitation)
Sense 4 = approve of socially (accept a new style of music)
Sense 5 = admit to membership (accept into a group)
Sense 7 = tolerate/endure

"They are not accepted everywhere" - this is most commonly used to mean that something is not approved of or not taken/received in all places.

If it's about people (e.g., "Blacks were not accepted everywhere"), that could be sense 5 (not admitted to establishments) or sense 4 (not approved of socially).

Given the example in sense 4 about atonal music not being accepted, and the definition "react favorably to; consider right and proper," this seems like the most general sense of social acceptance.

However, I should look for clues. The word "however" at the end suggests a contrast with a previous statement that might have suggested they ARE accepted in some places or by some people.

Actually, looking at typical usage: "Credit cards are not accepted everywhere" - this uses "accept" in the sense of "willingly receive" (sense 2) - merchants receive the credit card as payment.

"They are not accepted everywhere" referring to people could be sense 5.

But looking at the specific wording of sense 2: "receive willingly something given or offered." If "they" are credit cards or checks, they are things given/offered as payment.

Sense 4 is about reacting favorably, which is more about attitudes than transactions.

Without knowing what "they" refers to, I need to think about which sense is most likely.

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (since these definitions look like they're from WordNet), let me think about the WordNet senses.

WordNet senses for "accept":
1. accept, take, have - receive willingly something given or offered
2. accept, consent, go for - give an affirmative reply to; respond favorably to
3. accept - react favorably to; consider right and proper
4. accept - admit into a group or community
5. accept, take on - take on as one's own the expenses or debts of another person
6. accept, live with, swallow - tolerate or accommodate oneself to
7. accept, take - be designed to hold or take
8. accept - receive (a report) officially
9. accept, take - make use of or accept for some purpose
10. accept - be sexually responsive to

Wait, the numbering in the question is different from standard WordNet, but the definitions look similar.

Actually, looking at the specific definitions in the prompt:

1. consider or hold as true (WordNet sense 7: accept as true)
2. receive willingly something given or offered (WordNet sense 1: receive willingly)
3. give an affirmative reply to; respond favorably to (WordNet sense 4: respond favorably)
4. react favorably to; consider right and proper (WordNet sense 5: react favorably to)
5. admit into a group or community (WordNet sense 2: admit to group)
6. take on as one's own the expenses or debts (WordNet sense 6: take debts)
7. tolerate or accommodate oneself to (WordNet sense 8: tolerate)
8. be designed to hold or take (WordNet sense 10: be designed for)
9. receive (a report) officially (WordNet sense 9: receive officially)
10. make use of or accept for some purpose (WordNet sense 11: make use of)
11. be sexually responsive to (WordNet sense 3: sexually responsive)

Actually, looking up standard WordNet 3.1 for "accept":
1. (accept, take, have) - receive willingly something given or offered
2. (accept, admit, take, take on) - admit into a group or community
3. (accept, consent, go for) - give an affirmative reply to; respond favorably to
4. (accept) - react favorably to; consider right and proper
5. (accept) - admit, take on - take on as one's own the expenses or debts
6. (accept, live with, swallow) - tolerate or accommodate oneself to
7. (accept, take) - be designed to hold or take
8. (accept) - receive (a report) officially, as from a committee
9. (accept, take) - make use of or accept for some purpose
10. (accept) - be sexually responsive to, used of a female domesticated mammal

The numbering in the question seems to be:
1. consider or hold as true - This might be WordNet sense: believe (but that's not in the list above) or maybe "judge to be right"

Let me look more carefully at the prompt's list:

Sense 1: definition=consider or hold as true | examples=I cannot accept the dogma of this church
This is like "believe" - WordNet has: accept, take - accept as true

Sense 2: definition=receive willingly something given or offered | examples=The only girl who would have him was the miller's daughter
This matches WordNet sense 1.

Sense 3: definition=give an affirmative reply to; respond favorably to | examples=I cannot accept your invitation
This matches WordNet sense 3.

Sense 4: definition=react favorably to; consider right and proper | examples=People did not accept atonal music at that time
This matches WordNet sense 4.

Sense 5: definition=admit into a group or community | examples=accept students for graduate study
This matches WordNet sense 2.

Sense 6: definition=take on as one's own the expenses or debts of another person | examples=I'll accept the charges
This matches WordNet sense 5.

Sense 7: definition=tolerate or accommodate oneself to | examples=I shall have to accept these unpleasant working conditions
This matches WordNet sense 6.

Sense 8: definition=be designed to hold or take | examples=This surface will not take the dye
This matches WordNet sense 7.

Sense 9: definition=receive (a report) officially, as from a committee
This matches WordNet sense 8.

Sense 10: definition=make use of or accept for some purpose | examples=take a risk
This matches WordNet sense 9.

Sense 11: definition=be sexually responsive to, used of a female domesticated mammal | examples=The cow accepted the bull
This matches WordNet sense 10.

Now, back to the sentence: "They are not <t>accepted</t> everywhere, however."

The phrase "accepted everywhere" with "they" as the subject.

Common collocations:
- Credit cards are not accepted everywhere (Sense 2: receive willingly as payment)
- These ideas are not accepted everywhere (Sense 4: react favorably to)
- These people are not accepted everywhere (Sense 5: admitted into groups)

Given the lack of specific context, and looking at the word "however" suggesting a contrast, this is likely talking about something being restricted in acceptance geographically or socially.

The most common usage of "not accepted everywhere" in general English is often about payment methods (credit cards), ideas, or customs.

Looking at sense 2: "receive willingly something given or offered" - this fits for payment methods or offerings.
Looking at sense 4: "react favorably to; consider right and proper" - this fits for customs, behaviors, or ideas.
Looking at sense 5: "admit into a group or community" - this fits for people, but "everywhere" is a bit odd with this sense unless talking about many different specific groups.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 2: "The only girl who would have him was the miller's daughter" - this is about accepting a suitor/person.

But there's another clue. The sentence uses the passive voice "are accepted."

Sense 4 with the example "People did not accept atonal music at that time" - this is similar to "They are not accepted everywhere."

In fact, the example in sense 4 is about general social acceptance of something (atonal music), which parallels "They are not accepted everywhere."

If the sentence were "Credit cards are not accepted everywhere," that would be sense 2 (merchants receiving payment).

But without context, and given that sense 4 specifically mentions general acceptance with the word "everywhere" implied in "at that time" (temporal rather than spatial, but similar idea of limited acceptance), and the definition "react favorably to; consider right and proper," I think the answer is likely 4 or 2.

Wait, let me think about this more carefully.

In many standardized tests and lexical semantic datasets (like SemCor or similar), the sentence "They are not accepted everywhere" with "accepted" meaning approved of or recognized is usually classified under the sense of "approve of" or "consider valid."

Sense 1 is "consider or hold as true" - this is intellectual acceptance of propositions.
Sense 4 is "react favorably to; consider right and proper" - this is social/emotional acceptance.

The word "everywhere" suggests geographic distribution.

"They are not accepted everywhere" most commonly refers to:
1. Currency/payment methods (not accepted in all stores) - Sense 2
2. People (not welcomed in all places) - Sense 4 or 5
3. Ideas/practices (not approved in all cultures) - Sense 4

Given the progression of the senses and the typical examples, and without more context, I need to look for the most likely intended answer.

Actually, looking at similar problems from WordNet or lexical sample disambiguation tasks, the phrase "not accepted everywhere" often maps to sense 4 when referring to ideas, customs, or social acceptance.

But let me also consider: could it be sense 7 (tolerate)? "They are not tolerated everywhere." That's possible.

Or sense 1: "They are not considered true everywhere" - possible for theories or beliefs.

However, the most neutral and common interpretation of "accepted everywhere" is sense 4: approved of or considered proper everywhere.

Let me check if there's a specific instance of this sentence in lexical databases. The sentence "They are not accepted everywhere, however" looks like it might be from a specific dataset.

Actually, looking at the sentence structure: "They are not accepted everywhere, however." The word "however" suggests a contrast with a previous statement.

If the previous sentence was "These credit cards are widely used," then "They are not accepted everywhere, however" would make sense as sense 2.

If the previous sentence was "These customs are normal in some places," then "They are not accepted everywhere, however" would be sense 4.

Given the lack of context, and that sense 2 is the most concrete meaning (receiving something offered), while sense 4 is about attitudes, and sense 5 is about group membership...

Actually, I just realized that in many contexts, "accepted" with "everywhere" refers to being welcomed or approved of, which is sense 4.

Let me look at the exact wording of sense 2 again: "receive willingly something given or offered"
And sense 4: "react favorably to; consider right and proper"

The key difference is that sense 2 is about receiving a physical thing or offer, while sense 4 is about approving of something.

For "They are not accepted everywhere":
- If "they" = credit cards, traveler's checks, etc. → Sense 2
- If "they" = people, behaviors, ideas → Sense 4 or 5

Since the subject is "they" (pronoun), and there's no specific antecedent, this is ambiguous. But in the context of word sense disambiguation tasks, usually the most general sense or the one intended by the source text is the answer.

Given that this looks like it might be from a specific lexical sample dataset, and considering the word "everywhere" which implies geographical distribution, and the fact that sense 4 deals with general social attitudes which can vary by location...

Actually, I think the answer is **4**.

Here's my reasoning: The phrase "accepted everywhere" most commonly means "approved of or considered proper everywhere" when referring to general subjects ("they"). The example for sense 4 mentions a time period ("at that time"), and extending this to space ("everywhere") is natural. The definition "react favorably to; consider right and proper" captures the meaning of general social approval or acceptance.

Sense 2 is more specific to receiving concrete items or specific offers.
Sense 5 is about admission to specific groups.
Sense 4 is the broadest sense of social/cultural acceptance.

Therefore, the answer should be 4.

Wait, I want to double-check. Let me think about the word "accepted" in passive voice.

"They are accepted" can mean:
- They are received (sense 2)
- They are approved of (sense 4)
- They are admitted (sense 5)
- They are tolerated (sense 7)

Without context, it's hard, but looking at the examples provided in the question:
- Sense 4 example: "People did not accept atonal music at that time"
- This is about whether a type of music was welcome/approved in society.

Similarly, "They are not accepted everywhere" is about whether something is welcome/approved in all places.

I think 4 is the correct answer.

Actually, I just found a similar example in my mental database of WordNet senses. The sentence might be referring to something like "Traveler's checks are not accepted everywhere" or "These theories are not accepted everywhere."

If it's traveler's checks, it could be sense 2.
If it's theories, it could be sense 1 or 4.

Sense 1: "consider or hold as true" - for theories, beliefs.
Sense 4: "react favorably to; consider right and proper" - for customs, behaviors, music, etc.

The phrase "accepted everywhere" with theories would be sense 1 (considered true).
With customs: sense 4 (considered proper).
With payment: sense 2 (received).

Given the word "however" at the end, suggesting a limitation on the scope of acceptance, and the general nature of the sentence, I think the safest answer is **4**, as it covers the general meaning of "approved of" or "considered proper" which applies to many contexts.

But let me reconsider sense 2. The example "The only girl who would have him was the miller's daughter" uses "have" to mean accept. This is about accepting a person in a relationship sense.

Actually, looking at all the senses again, sense 4 seems most aligned with general usage of "accepted" in the context of varying by location or group.

I'll go with **4**.

Final check: Is there any possibility it's sense 7 (tolerate)? "They are not tolerated everywhere." That's possible, but "tolerate" usually has a negative connotation (putting up with something unpleasant), and the definition says "tolerate or accommodate oneself to" which is about an individual's acceptance of a situation, not about "they" being accepted by society.

Sense 4 is the one about society's reaction.

Which numbered sense of "however" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: They are not accepted everywhere, <t>however</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession) | examples=although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it
2. definition=by contrast; on the other hand | examples=the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "however" is used in the sentence: "They are not accepted everywhere, however."

Let me analyze the sentence structure and meaning:
- "They are not accepted everywhere" - This is a statement of limitation or contrast to something previously mentioned.
- The word "however" appears at the end, separated by a comma.

Now let me look at the definitions:

1. "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)" - This is the concessive sense, often used to introduce a contrasting idea. Example: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - Wait, this example seems a bit odd. Usually "however" in sense 1 is used as a conjunctive adverb meaning "nevertheless" or "in spite of that."

2. "by contrast; on the other hand" - This is the adversative sense, used to contrast two statements. Example: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - This shows a contrast between two parts.

3. "to whatever degree or extent" - This is the extent/degree sense. Example: "The results, however general, are important" - Here "however" modifies the adjective "general."

4. "in whatever way or manner" - This is the manner sense. Example: "Victory, however it was brought about, was sweet" - Here "however" introduces a clause describing manner.

In the sentence "They are not accepted everywhere, however," the word "however" is being used to contrast with a previous statement (implied or explicit). It's saying that despite something (perhaps despite being useful or popular), they are not accepted everywhere.

Wait, let me reconsider the sentence structure. "They are not accepted everywhere, however."

Actually, looking at the position - at the end of the sentence following a comma - this is characteristic of sense 2 (by contrast; on the other hand) or sense 1 (despite anything to the contrary).

Let me think about the difference between sense 1 and sense 2 more carefully.

Sense 1 examples: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - This example is actually not great because it uses "although" and "however" together which is redundant. But the definition says "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)."

Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand" - Example: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours"

In "They are not accepted everywhere, however," the word "however" is contrasting the current statement with something said before. It's equivalent to saying "However, they are not accepted everywhere" or "They are not accepted everywhere; however,"

The key is: is this sense 1 or sense 2?

Looking at the definitions again:
1. "despite anything to the contrary" - This is the "nevertheless" meaning.
2. "by contrast; on the other hand" - This is also a contrastive meaning.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Sense 1 is often "in spite of that; nevertheless" - used to introduce a statement that contrasts with something previously said.
- Sense 2 is "on the other hand; in contrast" - used to introduce a contrasting element.

Wait, I need to look more carefully at the specific definitions provided:

Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)"
Example: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"

Hmm, the example for sense 1 is strange. "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - This seems like it might be a bad example or perhaps it's illustrating something specific.

Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand"
Example: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours"

In the sentence "They are not accepted everywhere, however," the word "however" is positioned at the end, which is a common position for the adversative "however" (meaning "nevertheless" or "but").

Let me think about the context. The sentence is saying that "they" (some things) are not accepted everywhere. The "however" suggests this is contrasting with a previous positive statement about these items.

For example: "Credit cards are useful. They are not accepted everywhere, however."

This is clearly the "nevertheless" or "in spite of that" meaning - which aligns with sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary."

But wait, sense 2 is "by contrast; on the other hand."

Actually, in many dictionaries, these might be grouped together or distinguished slightly differently. Let me think about the specific wording of the definitions provided.

Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)"
Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand"

The phrase "They are not accepted everywhere, however" is using "however" as a conjunctive adverb indicating a contrast or exception to what was previously stated.

In the example for sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - this is contrasting two parts.

In "They are not accepted everywhere, however," this is qualifying or limiting a previous statement.

Actually, looking at standard usage:
- "However" at the end of a sentence is almost always the adversative sense (meaning "nevertheless").
- This corresponds to introducing a contrast with what came before.

Now, is this sense 1 or sense 2?

Sense 1 definition: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)"
Sense 2 definition: "by contrast; on the other hand"

The phrase "despite anything to the contrary" suggests a concession - acknowledging a point but then stating something that qualifies or contrasts with it.

"By contrast; on the other hand" suggests setting up an alternative or opposite point.

In "They are not accepted everywhere, however," the word is qualifying a previous positive statement. This is the "nevertheless" sense.

But let me look at the example for sense 1 again: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"

This example is confusing. It has both "although" and "however." Maybe it's meant to show "however" used as "nevertheless"?

Actually, looking at the example more carefully: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"

This might be a poorly constructed example, or it might be illustrating something I'm missing.

Let me look at sense 2 example: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours"

This is clearly contrasting two things.

Now, "They are not accepted everywhere, however" - this is contrasting the current statement with an implied previous statement.

For instance:
"These coupons are great. They are not accepted everywhere, however."

The "however" is contrasting the limitation (not accepted everywhere) with the positive quality (great).

This is the adversative sense.

But which number? 1 or 2?

Sense 1 says "usually following a concession." A concession is when you acknowledge something but then point out a limitation or contrary fact.

"They are not accepted everywhere, however" - this is following an implied concession or positive statement.

Actually, looking at the definition of sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)"

And sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand"

I think the key difference is:
- Sense 1: "nevertheless" - used to introduce a statement that qualifies or contradicts a previous statement.
- Sense 2: "on the other hand" - used to compare two different things or introduce an alternative.

In "They are not accepted everywhere, however," we have the "nevertheless" meaning. This is limiting or contradicting a previous positive assertion.

Therefore, this should be sense 1.

Wait, but let me reconsider the example for sense 1: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"

If we parse this: "Although I'm a little afraid, [however] I'd like to try it" - the "however" here seems redundant with "although." Unless... the example is showing "however" in the sense of "nevertheless" but the sentence structure is odd.

Actually, looking at it again: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - this might be illustrating that "however" can mean "nevertheless" and can appear in the middle of a clause.

But the definition says "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)."

The phrase "following a concession" is key. In "They are not accepted everywhere, however," the "however" is following the concession (the admission that they are not accepted everywhere).

Wait, that doesn't make sense. Let me think about what "following a concession" means.

Actually, "following a concession" means that there was a concession (an acknowledgment of a fact) made previously, and now "however" introduces the main point or a contrasting point.

For example: "The weather was bad. We went for a walk, however."

Or: "He is rich. He is not happy, however."

In these cases, "however" means "nevertheless" or "despite that."

But looking at sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand" with the example "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours"

This is also a contrastive use.

Hmm, I'm getting confused by the subtle distinction between sense 1 and sense 2.

Let me look at this from a different angle. In many dictionaries, "however" has these main senses:
1. In whatever manner or way (sense 4 in the list)
2. To whatever degree or extent (sense 3 in the list)
3. Nevertheless, yet, in spite of that (this would be sense 1)
4. On the other hand, by contrast (this would be sense 2)

The difference between 3 and 4 is subtle.
- Sense 3 (nevertheless) is used when the second statement qualifies or contradicts the first.
- Sense 4 (on the other hand) is used when comparing two different things or introducing an alternative perspective.

In "They are not accepted everywhere, however," this is clearly the "nevertheless" sense. It's saying "despite their popularity" or "despite what I just said," they are not accepted everywhere.

The position at the end of the sentence with a comma before it is characteristic of the conjunctive adverb "however" meaning "nevertheless."

Looking at the example for sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - here "however" is in the middle of the second clause, contrasting the second part with the first.

In our sentence: "They are not accepted everywhere, however" - the "however" is at the end.

Actually, "however" can appear at the end of a sentence in the "nevertheless" sense.

Example: "He said he would come. He didn't come, however."

This is sense 1: despite the expectation or previous statement, the contrary is true.

Sense 2 example shows "however" contrasting two different subjects: first part vs. second part.

In our sentence, "They are not accepted everywhere, however" is contrasting the negative fact with an implied positive fact about "them."

This is the "despite anything to the contrary" sense - sense 1.

But wait, I want to double-check the example for sense 1: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"

This example is really bothering me. Let me parse it:
- "although I'm a little afraid" - concessive clause
- "however I'd like to try it" - main clause with "however"

If "however" here means "nevertheless," then the sentence means: "Although I'm a little afraid, nevertheless I'd like to try it."

This is redundant but grammatical in some dialects or older usage? Or perhaps the example is meant to show "however" as a coordinating conjunction?

Actually, looking at the example again: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"

I wonder if this is a typo in the question or if I'm misunderstanding it. Maybe it should be: "I'm a little afraid; however, I'd like to try it"?

Or perhaps the comma placement is different: "although I'm a little afraid, however, I'd like to try it" - with "however" as a parenthetical?

Actually, looking at the exact formatting: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"

This suggests that "however" is being used as a conjunction meaning "yet" or "nevertheless."

But in standard modern English, we wouldn't use "although" and "however" together like that.

Unless... the example is illustrating sense 1 as "despite anything to the contrary" and the "although" clause represents the concession, and "however" introduces the contrary statement.

But the structure "although X, however Y" is indeed odd.

Let me look at sense 2 again: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours"

This is clear: contrasting two things.

Now for our sentence: "They are not accepted everywhere, however."

If the previous sentence was something like "Credit cards are very convenient," then "They are not accepted everywhere, however" means "Nevertheless, they are not accepted everywhere" or "They are not accepted everywhere, nevertheless."

This is clearly the adversative sense meaning "in spite of that" or "nevertheless."

In the definitions given:
Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary"
Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand"

I think "despite anything to the contrary" is the right fit.

But let me also consider if it could be sense 2. "By contrast" - is the sentence setting up a contrast between two different things? Or is it qualifying a previous statement?

"They are not accepted everywhere, however" - this is qualifying or limiting a previous statement. It's saying "despite their advantages" or "despite what I just said."

This is sense 1.

Actually, I just realized something. In the sentence "They are not accepted everywhere, however," the word "however" is in a position where it could be interpreted as modifying the whole clause, meaning "it is however the case that they are not accepted everywhere" or "they are, however, not accepted everywhere."

Wait, the sentence is: "They are not accepted everywhere, however."

This is an unusual word order. Normally we'd say:
- "However, they are not accepted everywhere."
- "They are, however, not accepted everywhere."

But "They are not accepted everywhere, however" is also possible, though less common. It puts emphasis on the limitation.

This is definitely the adversative sense (meaning "nevertheless" or "but").

Now, looking at the distinction between sense 1 and sense 2 in the provided definitions:

Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)"
Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand"

The phrase "usually following a concession" is interesting. In "They are not accepted everywhere, however," the word "however" is following the statement "They are not accepted everywhere."

But "concession" here probably refers to the rhetorical device where you acknowledge a point. Actually, no - in rhetoric, a concession is when you acknowledge the validity of an opposing point.

Wait, I think I need to reconsider the definition of "concession" here. In grammar, a concessive clause is one that expresses something contrary to the main clause, often introduced by "although," "even though," etc.

But the definition says "usually following a concession." This might mean that sense 1 is used when there has been a concession (an acknowledgment of a fact), and then "however" introduces the main point or a contrasting point.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary entries for "however":

Sense 1 in many dictionaries: "in whatever manner or way" (like sense 4 here)
Sense 2: "to whatever degree or extent" (like sense 3 here)
Sense 3: "in spite of that, nevertheless" (this would be sense 1 in the question)
Sense 4: "on the other hand" (this would be sense 2 in the question)

The question has reordered the senses.

Sense 1 in the question: "despite anything to the contrary" - this is the "nevertheless" sense.
Sense 2 in the question: "by contrast; on the other hand" - this is also contrastive but slightly different.

The difference between "nevertheless" and "on the other hand":
- "Nevertheless" introduces a fact that is surprising given what was just said.
- "On the other hand" introduces an alternative or opposing view to balance the previous view.

In "They are not accepted everywhere, however," if the context is:
"These traveler's checks are very useful. They are not accepted everywhere, however."

Then "however" is being used in the "nevertheless" sense (sense 1) - despite their usefulness, they have this limitation.

Or is it "on the other hand" (sense 2)? "On the other hand" would suggest we're looking at the other side of the coin - the negative aspect to balance the positive aspect.

Actually, "on the other hand" and "nevertheless" can be quite similar. But "nevertheless" emphasizes that the second fact is true despite the first. "On the other hand" emphasizes that there are two sides to consider.

In the example for sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - this is comparing two different things (first part vs. second part).

In our sentence, we're not comparing two different things. We're qualifying a statement about the same subject ("they").

Therefore, this is sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary."

The sentence is saying that despite some positive quality (implied), they are not accepted everywhere.

Actually, let me look at the exact wording of sense 1 again: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)"

The phrase "usually following a concession" might be key. Does "They are not accepted everywhere" constitute a concession?

A concession is when you admit something that weakens your position or acknowledges a point from the other side.

If the previous statement was positive about "them," then "They are not accepted everywhere" is a concession - admitting a limitation.

Then "however" follows that concession... wait, no. The "however" IS part of the concession or follows it?

Let me think of a dialogue:
A: "Credit cards are great!"
B: "They are not accepted everywhere, however."

In this case, B is making a concession (admitting a limitation) to A's positive statement. But the "however" is part of the concessive statement.

Hmm, the definition says sense 1 is "usually following a concession." This suggests the structure: [Concession], however [main point].

Or: [Statement], however [contrary statement].

Actually, looking at the example: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"

Here, "although I'm a little afraid" is the concessive clause. Then "however I'd like to try it" follows.

Wait, that doesn't make sense. "Although" already introduces the concession. "However" would be redundant.

Unless the example is: "I'm a little afraid. I'd like to try it, however."

That would make sense: "I'm a little afraid. I'd like to try it, however." = Despite being afraid, I want to try it.

Or: "I'd like to try it. I'm a little afraid, however."

This would be: I want to try it, but I'm afraid.

In this case, "however" is following a statement that contrasts with the previous statement.

I think the example provided for sense 1 might have a typo or be poorly constructed. But the definition "despite anything to the contrary" is clear.

For sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand" - this is used when comparing two different things or aspects.

Given that "They are not accepted everywhere, however" is qualifying a statement about the same subject, and given that it's equivalent to "nevertheless," I believe the answer is sense 1.

But I want to check one more time. Could it be sense 2?

Sense 2 example: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours"

Here we have two distinct parts being contrasted.

In "They are not accepted everywhere, however," we don't have two distinct subjects being contrasted. We have one subject with a qualifying statement.

Therefore, sense 1 is correct.

Wait, I should also consider the position. "However" at the end of a sentence is almost always the "nevertheless" sense.

Examples:
- "He was tired. He kept working, however."
- "It was raining. We went out, however."

These are sense 1.

Sense 2 ("on the other hand") is less likely to appear at the very end of a sentence. It's more likely to appear at the beginning or in the middle of the clause it introduces.

For example: "The food was good. The service, however, was terrible."
Or: "The food was good. However, the service was terrible."

But: "The food was good. The service was terrible, however." - This is also possible and means the same as the others.

Hmm, so position alone doesn't distinguish them.

Let me think about the meaning again.

"They are not accepted everywhere, however."

This is introducing a limitation or negative aspect in contrast to a positive aspect mentioned before.

This is the "despite anything to the contrary" sense.

I think the answer is 1.

But let me reconsider the example for sense 1 one more time: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"

Could this be parsed as: "although I'm a little afraid, [pause] however, I'd like to try it"?

No, the commas are explicit in the other examples. In sense 2, we see "the second, however, took hours" with commas.

In sense 1, the example is "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" with only one comma after "afraid."

This suggests that "however" is being used as a conjunction without commas around it, or the example is showing a specific usage.

Actually, looking at all the examples:
Sense 1: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"
Sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours"
Sense 3: "The results, however general, are important"
Sense 4: "Victory, however it was brought about, was sweet"

Sense 3 and 4 clearly show "however" used as a modifier (modifying "general" and introducing a clause "it was brought about").

Sense 2 shows "however" as a parenthetical adverb with commas around it.

Sense 1 shows "however" without a comma after it, suggesting it might be used differently.

But the definition for sense 1 is "despite anything to the contrary."

Let me try a different approach. In the sentence "They are not accepted everywhere, however," the word "however" is equivalent to:
- nevertheless
- yet
- but
- still

These are all sense 1 words.

Sense 2 ("by contrast, on the other hand") is equivalent to:
- on the other hand
- conversely
- in contrast

Now, "They are not accepted everywhere, nevertheless" - this works.
"They are not accepted everywhere, on the other hand" - this doesn't work as well. "On the other hand" usually introduces a new clause with a new subject or at least requires a full clause.

Actually, "They are not accepted everywhere. On the other hand, they are accepted in most major cities." That works.

But "They are not accepted everywhere, on the other hand" - this is incomplete or awkward.

"They are not accepted everywhere, however" - this is complete and natural.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct answer.

The answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "bell_ringing" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The oldest <t>bell-ringing</t> group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

Senses:
1. definition=the sound of someone playing a set of bells
2. definition=persuasion of voters in a political campaign
3. definition=playing a set of bells that are (usually) hung in a tower

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "bell_ringing" is used in the given sentence. The target word is marked with <t>bell-ringing</t>.

Let me analyze the sentence:
"The oldest <t>bell-ringing</t> group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey."

Key context clues:
- "bell-ringing group" - a group of people who do bell-ringing
- "Ancient Society of College Youths" - the name of the group
- "sole source of ringers" - they provide ringers (people who ring bells)
- "St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey" - places with towers and bells

Now let's look at the senses:
1. definition=the sound of someone playing a set of bells
2. definition=persuasion of voters in a political campaign
3. definition=playing a set of bells that are (usually) hung in a tower

Sense 1 refers to the sound itself. But in the sentence, "bell-ringing" modifies "group" - it's describing what the group does. The group consists of people who ring bells. Also, the sentence mentions "ringers" (people who ring).

Sense 2 is clearly wrong - no political campaign context.

Sense 3 refers to the activity of playing a set of bells (usually hung in a tower). This fits because:
- It's an activity/group of people
- Churches like St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey have bell towers
- The group provides "ringers" (people who perform the action)
- "Bell-ringing" as an activity/modifier for a group aligns with sense 3

Wait, let me reconsider sense 1. Could "bell-ringing group" mean a group associated with the sound? No, a "bell-ringing group" is a group of people who engage in the activity of bell ringing. Sense 1 is about the sound/audio phenomenon. Sense 3 is about the activity/action of playing bells.

The sentence is talking about an organization/society of people who ring bells. Therefore, sense 3 (the activity) is correct, not sense 1 (the sound).

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases, sense 1 might be the sound/noun referring to auditory sensation, while sense 3 is the act/activity. Since the sentence refers to a "group" that is a "source of ringers," it's clearly the human activity.

So the answer should be 3.

Which numbered sense of "group" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The oldest bell-ringing <t>group</t> in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

Senses:
1. definition=any number of entities (members) considered as a unit

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

Let me analyze the sentence:
"The oldest bell-ringing <t>group</t> in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey."

Here, "group" refers to "the Ancient Society of College Youths" which is an organization or collection of people (bell-ringers).

Now let's look at the definitions:
1. definition=any number of entities (members) considered as a unit - This seems to fit. A group of people/entities considered as a unit.
2. definition=(chemistry) two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule - This is a chemistry definition, clearly not applicable here.
3. definition=a set that is closed, associative, has an identity element and every element has an inverse - This is the mathematical definition of a group (group theory), not applicable here.

So the correct answer is sense 1.

The sentence is talking about a society/organization of bell-ringers, which fits the general definition of "any number of entities (members) considered as a unit."

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

Let me analyze the sentence:
"The oldest bell-ringing group in the <t>country</t>, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey."

The context suggests "country" here refers to Britain/England (since it mentions St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, which are in London, UK).

Now let's look at the senses:

1. "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - This refers to the state/government entity.
2. "the territory occupied by a nation" - This refers to the land/territory itself.
3. "the people who live in a nation or country" - This refers to the population/citizenry.
4. "an area outside of cities and towns" - This refers to rural areas/countryside.
5. "a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary" - This refers to a region/area.

In the sentence, "the oldest bell-ringing group in the country" means the oldest bell-ringing group in the nation/territory of Britain/UK.

But which specific sense is it?

Sense 1: "a politically organized body of people under a single government" - This would mean the group is in the government/state entity. While possible, this seems more abstract.

Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation" - This seems to fit well. "In the country" here means within the territorial boundaries of the nation.

Sense 3: "the people who live in a nation or country" - This would mean the group is located in the people themselves, which doesn't make sense.

Sense 4: Rural area - definitely not, since it mentions specific churches in London.

Sense 5: A particular geographical region - too vague, and "the country" in this context clearly refers to the nation state.

Between sense 1 and 2:
Looking at the examples:
Sense 1 example: "the state has elected a new president" - focuses on the political entity.
Sense 2 example: "he returned to the land of his birth" - focuses on the territory.

"In the country" in this context is similar to "in the nation" - referring to the territorial scope or the national entity as a whole.

However, looking carefully at WordNet or similar lexical databases (which this seems to be based on), "country" often has these distinct senses:

Sense 1: nation, land, country - a politically organized body...
Sense 2: country, state, land - the territory occupied by a nation...
Sense 3: country, nation, land, realm - the people who live in a nation...

Actually, looking at standard WordNet definitions:
- Sense 1: nation (politically organized body)
- Sense 2: state, country, land (territory occupied by a nation)
- Sense 3: country, land, nation (people who live in a nation)

But the question labels them differently. Let me check the specific definitions provided:

1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president
2. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth
3. definition=the people who live in a nation or country | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood
4. definition=an area outside of cities and towns | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country
5. definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | examples=it was a mountainous area

In the sentence "the oldest bell-ringing group in the country", this is referring to the nation of Britain/UK as a whole.

Is it sense 1 (the political entity), sense 2 (the territory), or sense 3 (the people)?

"In the country" typically refers to within the boundaries of the nation (territory) or within the political entity.

But looking at similar usage: "the best restaurant in the country" - this usually means within the nation, referring to the territory or the nation as a whole.

However, sense 3 is "the people who live in a nation" - you wouldn't say "a group in the people".

Sense 2 "the territory occupied by a nation" - "in the territory" makes sense.

Sense 1 "politically organized body" - "in the state/government"?

Actually, looking at typical dictionary distinctions:
- Sense 1 = nation (as a political concept)
- Sense 2 = country/land (as geographical territory)
- Sense 3 = country/nation (as the populace)

"In the country" when referring to "throughout the nation" or "within the national boundaries" usually corresponds to either sense 1 or 2.

But looking at the example for sense 2: "he returned to the land of his birth" - this emphasizes the physical territory.

The example for sense 1: "the state has elected a new president" - emphasizes the political entity.

The sentence says "in the country" which is a locative phrase. This most naturally goes with the territorial sense (sense 2) - located within the territory of the nation.

However, "country" in "in the country" can also be interpreted as "in the nation" (sense 1 or 3).

But wait - looking at the context bell-ringing groups... this is clearly referring to the United Kingdom/Britain as a nation state.

Let me reconsider the specific sense numbers. This looks like it could be from WordNet or a similar lexical resource.

In WordNet for "country":
- Sense 1: state, nation, country, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic - a politically organized body of people under a single government
- Sense 2: country, state, land - the territory occupied by a nation
- Sense 3: nation, land, country - the people who live in a nation or country
- Sense 4: country, rural area - an area outside of cities and towns
- Sense 5: area, region - a particular geographical region...

Given the sentence structure "in the country", and given that it's contrasting with specific locations (St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey), and referring to "Britain's most prestigious churches", "the country" here means the entire United Kingdom or England as a political/national entity.

But which number?

Actually, looking carefully at the sentence: "The oldest bell-ringing group in the country..."

This usage of "country" means "nation" or "land".

If I have to choose between:
1. Political organization
2. Territory
3. People
4. Rural area
5. Geographical region

The phrase "in the country" when referring to the whole nation (as in "the best in the country") is most often categorized as sense 2 (the territory) or sense 1 (the nation as a political entity).

However, looking at the distinction:
- Sense 1 focuses on the government/political organization ("the country has a president")
- Sense 2 focuses on the land/territory ("he traveled across the country")
- Sense 3 focuses on the people ("the country was angry")

"In the country" could be sense 2 (territory) or sense 1 (political entity).

But the phrase "the oldest... in the country" is analogous to "the oldest... in the land" or "the oldest... in the nation", referring to the geographical/political scope.

Given the example for sense 2 is "he returned to the land of his birth" - this emphasizes the territorial aspect.

Given the example for sense 1 is "the state has elected a new president" - this emphasizes the political/governmental aspect.

The sentence is talking about the location/scope of the bell-ringing group within the national boundaries, which aligns with sense 2 (territory).

However, "country" is also often used to mean "nation" in the sense of sense 1.

But let me look at the exact wording of the question. It asks which numbered sense marked with <t></t> is used.

Given the options and the sentence, I believe the answer is either 1 or 2.

But looking at standard semantic tagging (like in SemCor or similar), "in the country" referring to the whole nation is usually sense 2 (the territory) or sometimes sense 1.

Wait, I should look at the specific definitions again:

1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | examples=the state has elected a new president
2. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | examples=he returned to the land of his birth
3. definition=the people who live in a nation or country | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood

In "the oldest bell-ringing group in the country", the meaning is "within the national territory" or "throughout the nation".

If forced to choose, I would say sense 2 (territory) because "in" suggests location/position within a spatial extent.

However, let me reconsider if it could be sense 3? No, "in the people" doesn't make sense.

Sense 4? No, clearly not rural.

Sense 5? No, too vague.

So it's between 1 and 2.

Given that the bell-ringing group operates in specific churches (St. Paul's, Westminster Abbey), and is described as being "in the country", and later the text mentions "Britain's most prestigious churches", "the country" here is Britain.

Is Britain being referred to as a political entity (1) or a territory (2)?

Both are plausible, but given the administrative/historical context (founded in 1637, male-only policy), and the phrase "in the country" commonly being used to mean "within the nation's boundaries", I lean toward sense 2.

But actually, looking at similar questions from lexical semantic datasets (like the English Lexical Sample task from SemEval), "country" in phrases like "the best in the country" or "in the country" when referring to the whole nation is typically mapped to the "territory" sense (nation as land) or the "nation" sense (nation as political entity).

Given the example for sense 1 mentions "president" and "government", and sense 2 mentions "land of his birth", and the sentence is about a historical society with a tradition, and mentions specific geographical locations (St Paul's, Westminster Abbey), the territorial sense (2) seems slightly more appropriate.

However, many dictionaries would classify this under the primary definition of country as a nation state.

Let me reconsider if there's a trick. Could it be referring to "the countryside" (sense 4)? No, because St Paul's Cathedral is in the middle of London, not the countryside.

Could it be sense 5? "a particular geographical region" - no, "the country" here means the whole UK, not a region within it.

So it's definitely 1, 2, or 3.

Between 1 and 2:
- If the question is from WordNet, sense 2 of country is "country, state, land - the territory occupied by a nation"
- Sense 1 is "state, nation, country... - a politically organized body of people"

The phrase "in the country" is ambiguous between these but is most commonly used to mean within the territorial boundaries.

But looking at the specific context: "the oldest bell-ringing group in the country" - this is claiming they are the oldest such group within the national boundaries. This is a territorial claim.

Also, "Britain's most prestigious churches" suggests we're talking about locations within the territory.

Therefore: Sense 2.

Wait, I should double-check if there is any possibility it's sense 3. "The people who live in a nation" - you could say "the mood of the country" meaning the people, but not really "a group in the country" meaning located within the people. So no.

So my answer is 2.

But let me be careful. In some tagging schemes, "country" when referring to the entire nation is sense 1 (the political unit), and sense 2 is more for the physical land itself.

However, looking at the example for sense 2: "he returned to the land of his birth" - this parallels "in the country" as a location.

Also, if this is from WordNet, WordNet sense 2 of country (as territory) is the one that fits "in the country" when referring to being within the national boundaries.

Actually, looking up WordNet 3.0 or 3.1:
- country%1:14:00:: - a politically organized body of people under a single government (nation, land)
- country%1:15:00:: - the territory occupied by a nation (state, land)
- country%1:14:01:: - the people who live in a nation or country (nation, land)
- country%1:15:01:: - an area outside of cities and towns
- country%1:15:02:: - a particular geographical region...

In WordNet:
- Sense 1 (	14	00): nation, land, country...
- Sense 2 (15	00): country, state, land - the territory...
- Sense 3 (14	01): nation, land, country - the people...

So yes, sense 2 is the territory.

Given "in the country" is locative, it targets the location/territory sense.

Therefore, the answer is 2.

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

First, let me look at the sentence: "The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, <t>founded</t> in 1637, remains male-only..."

The word in question is "founded" (past tense of "found"). This is being used to describe when the Ancient Society of College Youths was established or created in 1637.

Now let me look at the senses provided:

1. definition=set up or found | examples=She set up a literacy program
2. definition=set up or lay the groundwork for | examples=establish a new department
3. definition=use as a basis for; found on | examples=base a claim on some observation
4. definition=come upon, as if by accident; meet with | examples=We find this idea in Plato
5. definition=discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of | examples=She detected high levels of lead in her drinking water
6. definition=come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost | examples=Did you find your glasses?
7. definition=establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study | examples=find the product of two numbers
8. definition=come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds | examples=I feel that he doesn't like me
9. definition=perceive or be contemporaneous with | examples=We found Republicans winning the offices
10. definition=get something or somebody for a specific purpose | examples=I found this gadget that will serve as a bottle opener
11. definition=make a discovery, make a new finding | examples=Roentgen discovered X-rays
12. definition=make a discovery | examples=She found that he had lied to her
13. definition=obtain through effort or management | examples=She found the time and energy to take care of her aging parents
14. definition=decide on and make a declaration about | examples=find someone guilty
15. definition=receive a specified treatment (abstract) | examples=These aspects of civilization do not find expression or receive an interpretation
16. definition=perceive oneself to be in a certain condition or place | examples=I found myself in a difficult situation
17. definition=get or find back; recover the use of | examples=She regained control of herself
18. definition=succeed in reaching; arrive at | examples=The arrow found its mark
19. definition=accept and make use of one's personality, abilities, and situation | examples=My son went to Berkeley to find himself

Wait, I need to be careful here. The word in the sentence is "founded" which is the past tense of "found" (meaning to establish or create an organization). But looking at the senses, they seem to be definitions of "find" rather than "found" (establish).

Actually, looking more carefully:
- Sense 1: "set up or found" - this seems to be the verb "found" meaning to establish
- Sense 2: "set up or lay the groundwork for" - this also seems like "found"
- Sense 3: "use as a basis for; found on" - this is "found" as in "founded on"

But senses 4-19 all seem to be definitions of "find" (discover, locate, etc.).

The word in the sentence is "founded" which is the past participle used in a passive construction: "founded in 1637" = "which was founded in 1637".

The meaning is clearly "established" or "set up".

Looking at sense 1: "set up or found" - this matches perfectly. The example "She set up a literacy program" shows the sense of establishing/creating an organization.

Sense 2 says "set up or lay the groundwork for" with example "establish a new department" - this is also close but seems more about preparing the way rather than creating the organization itself.

Sense 3 is about basing something on something else ("found on"), which is not the meaning here.

So sense 1 is the best match: "set up or found".

The sentence is saying the Ancient Society of College Youths was established/created in 1637.

Therefore, the answer should be 1.

Which numbered sense of "remain" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, <t>remains</t> male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

Senses:
1. definition=stay the same; remain in a certain state | examples=The dress remained wet after repeated attempts to dry it
2. definition=continue in a place, position, or situation | examples=After graduation, she stayed on in Cambridge as a student adviser
3. definition=be left; of persons, questions, problems, results, evidence, etc. | examples=There remains the question of who pulled the trigger
4. definition=stay behind | examples=The smell stayed in the room

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

 Sentence: "The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, <t>remains</t> male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey."

 Senses:
 1. definition=stay the same; remain in a certain state | examples=The dress remained wet after repeated attempts to dry it
 2. definition=continue in a place, position, or situation | examples=After graduation, she stayed on in Cambridge as a student adviser
 3. definition=be left; of persons, questions, problems, results, evidence, etc. | examples=There remains the question of who pulled the trigger
 4. definition=stay behind | examples=The smell stayed in the room

 Analysis:
 In the sentence, "remains" is used to describe the state of the group - it continues to be male-only, it stays in that state/condition. The group continues to maintain the characteristic of being male-only.

 Let's look at the options:

 1. "stay the same; remain in a certain state" - This fits. The group stays in the state of being "male-only". It maintains that characteristic/state.

 2. "continue in a place, position, or situation" - This usually implies physical location or continuing to hold a job/role. While "continue" is close, this sense typically focuses on location or position (like staying in Cambridge). The example shows staying in a place. The sentence is about a state/condition (male-only), not primarily about location.

 3. "be left; of persons, questions, problems, results, evidence, etc." - This is about something remaining as a residue or leftover, or existing as something yet to be dealt with. Example: "There remains the question..." This doesn't fit because the group isn't "left over" - it's actively maintaining a state.

 4. "stay behind" - This is about not leaving, staying when others go. The example "The smell stayed in the room" suggests physical presence/location. This doesn't fit the context of maintaining a membership policy.

 The sentence describes the group maintaining its character/state of being male-only over time (since 1637). This aligns with sense 1: "stay the same; remain in a certain state".

 Actually, let me reconsider sense 2. "Continue in a place, position, or situation" - could "male-only" be considered a situation? Maybe. But sense 1 is more specifically about states/conditions ("remain in a certain state"), while sense 2 is more about place/position. The example for sense 1 is "The dress remained wet" - this is about a state/condition (wet). The example for sense 2 is about staying in Cambridge (place).

 The word "male-only" describes the composition/state of the group. So sense 1 seems most appropriate.

 Wait, let me double-check the distinctions:
 - Sense 1: Copular use with adjectives/adjective phrases describing state. "Remain wet", "remain silent", "remain male-only".
 - Sense 2: Intransitive use about location or continuing in a role. "She remained in Cambridge", "He remained president".
 - Sense 3: Existential use. "There remains...", "Little remains of the castle".
 - Sense 4: Similar to 2 but specifically about not departing.

 The usage here is clearly copular: "remains male-only" where "male-only" is a predicate adjective describing the state.

 Therefore, the answer is 1.

 Let me verify with the example for sense 1: "The dress remained wet after repeated attempts to dry it". Yes, "wet" is an adjective describing state. "Male-only" functions similarly.

 So the answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "fact" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a <t>fact</t> that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

Senses:
1. definition=a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred | examples=first you must collect all the facts of the case
2. definition=a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened | examples=he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts
3. definition=an event known to have happened or something known to have existed | examples=your fears have no basis in fact
4. definition=a concept whose truth can be proved | examples=scientific hypotheses are not facts

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

Sentence: "The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a <t>fact</t> that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey."

The word "fact" here refers to the circumstance that the group "remains male-only." This is a piece of information about the current state of affairs (circumstances that exist).

Let me look at the senses:

1. "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred" - examples: "first you must collect all the facts of the case"
   - This seems to fit. The sentence is stating that the group remains male-only, which is a circumstance that exists.

2. "a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened" - examples: "he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts"
   - This is more about using facts as evidence or assertions in an argument. The usage in the sentence is not really about a statement or assertion used as evidence, but rather about the actual state of affairs.

3. "an event known to have happened or something known to have existed" - examples: "your fears have no basis in fact"
   - This seems to emphasize historical events or existence. While the group was founded in 1637 (past event), the "fact" here refers to the current state of being male-only.

4. "a concept whose truth can be proved" - examples: "scientific hypotheses are not facts"
   - This is about provable concepts, often used in scientific or logical contexts. The sentence isn't talking about a concept whose truth can be proved in that sense.

Looking more carefully at sense 1 vs sense 2:

Sense 1 focuses on "information about circumstances that exist" - this seems to match "remains male-only" which is a current circumstance.

Sense 2 focuses on "statement or assertion of verified information" - this treats facts as statements or assertions.

In the sentence, "a fact that's particularly galling" - the "fact" is the actual circumstance of the group being male-only, not a statement about it. It's the reality of the situation that is galling.

Actually, let me reconsider. The phrase "a fact" is referring back to the clause "remains male-only." So it's treating the state of being male-only as a fact.

Sense 1: "a piece of information about circumstances that exist" - the circumstance is that the group remains male-only.
Sense 3: "an event known to have happened or something known to have existed" - this could also fit, as the existence of this male-only policy is something known to exist.

But sense 3's example "your fears have no basis in fact" suggests "fact" as reality or actual existence, often contrasted with fiction or imagination.

Let me look at the examples again:
1. "first you must collect all the facts of the case" - facts as pieces of information
2. "he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts" - facts as evidence/verified statements
3. "your fears have no basis in fact" - fact as reality/actual existence
4. "scientific hypotheses are not facts" - facts as established truths

In the sentence, "a fact that's particularly galling" - the antecedent is "remains male-only." This is describing a current state, a circumstance that exists.

I think sense 1 is the best fit: "a piece of information about circumstances that exist." The fact is the information that this group remains male-only.

Wait, let me double-check sense 3: "an event known to have happened or something known to have existed." This seems more focused on past events or historical facts. The sentence is talking about a current state ("remains male-only"), not just a past event.

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (which these definitions seem to come from):

Sense 1 usually corresponds to: "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred"
Sense 2 usually corresponds to: "a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened"
Sense 3 usually corresponds to: "an event known to have happened or something known to have existed; 'your fears have no basis in fact'"
Sense 4 usually corresponds to: "a concept whose truth can be proved; 'scientific hypotheses are not facts'"

In the sentence, "a fact" refers to the circumstance that the group remains male-only. This is information about circumstances that exist (sense 1).

But let me also consider if it could be sense 3. "Something known to have existed" - the male-only nature exists. But sense 3 is often used in phrases like "in fact" or "basis in fact" referring to reality.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 3: "your fears have no basis in fact" - here "fact" means reality or actual existence.

In our sentence: "a fact that's particularly galling" - this is referring to a specific piece of information (that the group is male-only), not to "fact" as a general concept of reality.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate: it's a piece of information about a circumstance that exists.

Let me verify by looking at how these senses are typically distinguished:

Sense 1: Facts as data points, information about the world
Sense 2: Facts as statements/propositions that are verified
Sense 3: Facts as actual events or existents (reality)
Sense 4: Facts as proven concepts

The usage "a fact" with an appositive or relative clause "that's particularly galling" suggests it's a specific piece of information (sense 1) or a specific event/state (sense 3).

But "remains male-only" is a state, a circumstance that exists. This aligns with sense 1's definition: "circumstances that exist."

I think the answer is 1.

Wait, I should also consider if it could be sense 2: "a statement or assertion of verified information." Is the "fact" here being used as a statement? The phrase "a fact that's particularly galling" treats the fact as something that can be galling. The state of being male-only is what's galling, not a statement about it. So sense 2 is less likely.

Sense 4 is clearly wrong - it's not about a concept whose truth can be proved in a scientific sense.

Between 1 and 3:
- Sense 1: "a piece of information about circumstances that exist"
- Sense 3: "an event known to have happened or something known to have existed"

The key difference is that sense 1 frames it as "information" while sense 3 frames it as "event" or "something that existed."

In the sentence, the word "fact" is picking up the content of the previous clause. The content is "remains male-only." This is a circumstance that exists.

Actually, looking at typical dictionary definitions, sense 1 is often the most common usage - referring to a piece of information about reality.

I think 1 is the correct answer.

But let me reconsider one more time. The phrase "a fact that's particularly galling" - could this be sense 3? "Something known to have existed" - the existence of this male-only policy is known. But sense 3 examples usually involve "in fact" or refer to the existence of past events.

Actually, looking at WordNet 3.1:
1. fact, information - a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred; "first you must collect all the facts of the case"
2. fact - a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened; "he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts"
3. fact - an event known to have happened or something known to have existed; "your fears have no basis in fact"; "how much of the story is fact and how much fiction is hard to tell"
4. fact - a concept whose truth can be proved; "scientific hypotheses are not facts"

In the sentence, "a fact" is referring to the circumstance of the group remaining male-only. This is a circumstance that exists. This matches sense 1.

Sense 2 would be if it were a statement or assertion, but here it's the reality itself that's galling.

Sense 3 would be more about historical facts or distinguishing fact from fiction.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "particularly" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's <t>particularly</t> galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

Senses:
1. definition=to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common | examples=he was particularly fussy about spelling
2. definition=specifically or especially distinguished from others | examples=loves Bach, particularly his partitas
3. definition=uniquely or characteristically; ; ; - John Knowles | examples=these peculiarly cinematic elements

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "particularly" is used in the given sentence. I need to look at the three definitions provided and match them to the usage in the sentence.

Sentence: "The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's <t>particularly</t> galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey."

Let me analyze the usage:
- "particularly galling" means "especially galling" or "to a greater extent than usual/common"
- The sentence is saying that the fact is especially/very galling to women because of the specific reason given (the group being the sole source for prestigious churches).

Now let's look at the senses:

1. "to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common" - This matches "particularly galling" meaning "especially galling" or "more galling than usual/common". The example "he was particularly fussy about spelling" shows this usage where "particularly" intensifies the adjective "fussy".

2. "specifically or especially distinguished from others" - This would be used when singling out specific items from a group, like in the example "loves Bach, particularly his partitas" where it's specifying which works of Bach. This doesn't fit our sentence because we're not distinguishing one thing from others in a list; we're intensifying the degree of "galling".

3. "uniquely or characteristically" - This seems to be about distinctive characteristics. The example mentions "peculiarly cinematic elements" which suggests something distinctive or unique to cinema. This doesn't fit "particularly galling" in the context.

So sense 1 seems to be the correct one: "to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common" - meaning the fact is especially galling or more galling than it would be otherwise.

Wait, let me double-check sense 2. Could it be sense 2? Sense 2 is about distinguishing from others - "specifically or especially distinguished from others". In the sentence, is "particularly" being used to distinguish this fact from other facts? Or is it intensifying "galling"?

The structure is: "a fact that's particularly galling to women"
This means "a fact that is especially galling to women" - it's intensifying the adjective "galling".

Sense 1 example: "he was particularly fussy about spelling" - intensifies "fussy"
Sense 2 example: "loves Bach, particularly his partitas" - specifies which works (specifically the partitas)

So yes, sense 1 is correct. The word is modifying "galling" to indicate degree/extent, not selecting a specific item from a group.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

Which numbered sense of "woman" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the sentence below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Sentence: The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to <t>women</t> because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

Senses:
1. definition=an adult female person (as opposed to a man) | examples=the woman kept house while the man hunted
2. definition=a female person who plays a significant role (wife or mistress or girlfriend) in the life of a particular man | examples=he was faithful to his woman
3. definition=a human female employed to do housework | examples=the char will clean the carpet
4. definition=women as a class | examples=it's an insult to American womanhood

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "woman" is used in the provided sentence. Let me analyze the sentence and the definitions.

The sentence is: "The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to <t>women</t> because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey."

The word in question is "women" (plural of woman).

Let me look at the senses:

1. definition=an adult female person (as opposed to a man) | examples=the woman kept house while the man hunted
   - This refers to individual adult females.

2. definition=a female person who plays a significant role (wife or mistress or girlfriend) in the life of a particular man | examples=he was faithful to his woman
   - This refers to a specific relationship role with a man.

3. definition=a human female employed to do housework | examples=the char will clean the carpet
   - This refers to a domestic worker (charwoman).

4. definition=women as a class | examples=it's an insult to American womanhood
   - This refers to women collectively, as a group or class.

In the sentence, "women" is used in the context of "particularly galling to women" - this refers to women as a collective group, specifically women who might want to be bell-ringers but are excluded because the group is male-only. It's not referring to individual women in the sense of definition 1 (though it could be ambiguous), but rather women as a class or group who are affected by this male-only policy.

Wait, let me reconsider. The phrase "galling to women" - is this referring to:
- Individual women (sense 1, plural)
- Women as a class (sense 4)

Sense 4 says "women as a class" with the example "it's an insult to American womanhood." This suggests a collective, abstract sense.

But "galling to women" could mean:
1. Galling to individual women (plural of sense 1)
2. Galling to women as a collective group (sense 4)

However, looking carefully at the context: "a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers..."

This is referring to women who are interested in bell-ringing, or women in general who are excluded from this activity. It's using "women" to refer to the class or category of female persons who are excluded.

But actually, looking at the definitions again:
- Sense 1: "an adult female person" - this is the general definition
- Sense 4: "women as a class" - this is more abstract, referring to the collective

In many dictionary frameworks, sense 4 (women as a class) is used when referring to "woman" in abstract or collective contexts like "woman's work," "the progress of woman," etc.

However, in the sentence "galling to women," this is simply the plural of "woman" in sense 1. It's referring to multiple individual adult female persons.

But wait, let me look at the example for sense 4: "it's an insult to American womanhood" - this is clearly abstract/collective.

The sentence says "galling to women" - this is just the plural form referring to multiple individuals.

Actually, looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (which this format resembles), sense 4 is often the "collective" sense.

Let me think about this more carefully. The sentence is discussing exclusion of women from a group. The word "women" here refers to female persons collectively - the class of people who are female.

But sense 1 is "an adult female person" - the plural would be "adult female persons."

Hmm, looking at the exact wording:
Sense 1: "an adult female person (as opposed to a man)" - singular countable
Sense 4: "women as a class" - collective

In the sentence: "particularly galling to women" - this uses the plural form.

If sense 1 is defined as singular "an adult female person", then the plural "women" used to refer to multiple individual females would still be sense 1, just pluralized.

But sense 4 is specifically "women as a class" - this is a mass noun or collective usage.

In context: "galling to women" - is this:
A. Galling to individual women (who might want to join)?
B. Galling to women as a class/gender?

Given that it's about exclusion from a specific group based on gender, and referring to the collective impact on the female population interested in bell-ringing, this could be interpreted either way.

However, looking at standard WordNet senses for "woman":
1. woman, adult female -- (an adult female person (as opposed to a man))
2. woman -- (a female person who plays a significant role (wife or mistress or girlfriend) in the life of a particular man)
3. charwoman, char, cleaning woman, cleaning lady, woman -- (a human female employed to do housework)
4. womanhood, woman, fair sex -- (women as a class)

The example for sense 4 is: "it's an insult to American womanhood" or "woman is the glory of creation"

In the given sentence: "particularly galling to women"

I think the key is that "women" here refers to women in general, as a group - those who are excluded from the bell-ringing group. This aligns with sense 4 "women as a class."

But actually, looking at the usage, "galling to women" just means it annoys female people. This is the basic sense 1, pluralized.

Wait, I need to be more careful. In many lexical semantic tests, the distinction between sense 1 (individual) and sense 4 (collective) is:
- Sense 1: "There were three women in the room" (individuals)
- Sense 4: "Woman has always faced discrimination" or "the place of woman in society" (collective/abstraction)

In the sentence: "particularly galling to women"
This is similar to "unfair to women" or "harmful to women" - this treats women as a group/category.

Actually, looking at similar examples:
- "Women are fighting for equal rights" - This could be sense 4 (women as a class)
- "Women entered the room" - This is sense 1 (plural individuals)

In our sentence: "a fact that's particularly galling to women"
The antecedent is that the group remains male-only. This policy is galling to women (as a group, as a class of people excluded).

I think the answer is 4. The use of "women" here refers to women collectively, as the class of persons who are female and are excluded from this activity. It’s not referring to specific individual women, but to women as a demographic group affected by the policy.

Let me reconsider once more. The phrase "to women" - prepositional phrase indicating who finds it galling.

Compare:
- "Smoking is harmful to women" - this could mean women as a class (sense 4) or individual women (sense 1 plural)
- In many dictionaries, when referring to "women" collectively in abstract contexts, it's sense 4.

But actually, looking at the provided examples:
Sense 1: "the woman kept house while the man hunted" - specific individual
Sense 4: "it's an insult to American womanhood" - abstract/collective

The sentence "galling to women" is closer to the collective sense, but it could be ambiguous.

However, looking at the exact context again: "remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women"

This is about women as a category being excluded. The fact that the group is male-only is galling to women (as a group). This is the class/collective sense.

Actually, I want to check if this is from WordNet. Yes, these look like WordNet synset definitions.

WordNet 3.1 synsets for "woman":
- 1. woman, adult female (an adult female person)
- 2. woman (a female person who plays a significant role...)
- 3. charwoman, char, cleaning woman... (a human female employed to do housework)
- 4. womanhood, woman, fair sex (women as a class)

The example for sense 4 given in the prompt is: "it's an insult to American womanhood"

Our sentence: "particularly galling to women"

Is "women" in "galling to women" using sense 1 or sense 4?

Let me think about the distributional properties.
Sense 4 is often used with "the": "the woman" (meaning womankind), or in compounds.
But it can also be used with plural "women" to mean the class.

Actually, looking at usage:
- "Women have come a long way" - This treats women as a class/collective (sense 4)
- "Three women walked in" - This is individuals (sense 1)

In our case: "galling to women" - without a determiner, referring to women in general. This is the generic plural referring to the class.

I think the answer is 4.

Wait, I should double check. Could it be sense 1?
Sense 1: "an adult female person"
Plural: "adult female persons"

The sentence refers to women who are excluded from the bell-ringing group. This is a general statement about the class of women who might want to participate.

Actually, looking at similar test items from WordNet disambiguation tasks:
- "Women are oppressed" -> typically sense 4
- "I saw three women" -> sense 1

"galling to women" - the women here are generic, referring to the class.

Yes, I'll go with 4.

Sentence: The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the <t>group</t> is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

Senses:
1. definition=any number of entities (members) considered as a unit
2. definition=(chemistry) two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule
3. definition=a set that is closed, associative, has an identity element and every element has an inverse

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

Sentence: "The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the <t>group</t> is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey."

The word "group" here refers to "the Ancient Society of College Youths" - which is an organization or collection of people (bell-ringers) considered as a unit.

Now let's look at the senses:
1. definition=any number of entities (members) considered as a unit
2. definition=(chemistry) two or more atoms bound together as a single unit and forming part of a molecule
3. definition=a set that is closed, associative, has an identity element and every element has an inverse

Sense 1 fits perfectly - it's referring to a collection of people (members) considered as a unit (the Ancient Society of College Youths).

Sense 2 is about chemistry/atoms - not relevant here.

Sense 3 is the mathematical definition of a group (group theory) - not relevant here.

So the answer is 1.
