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

Sentence: It is a passion that usually stays in the <t>tower</t>, however.

Senses:
1. definition=a structure taller than its diameter; can stand alone or be attached to a larger building
2. definition=anything that approximates the shape of a column or tower | examples=the test tube held a column of white powder
3. definition=a powerful small boat designed to pull or push larger ships

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

 Sentence: "It is a passion that usually stays in the <t>tower</t>, however."

 Let me analyze the context. The phrase "stays in the tower" suggests a metaphorical or idiomatic usage.

 Looking at the senses:
 1. A physical structure taller than its diameter - this is the literal architectural meaning.
 2. Anything that approximates the shape of a column or tower - this is a metaphorical extension referring to shape.
 3. A powerful small boat (tugboat) - this is a nautical term.

 The phrase "stays in the tower" with reference to "passion" suggests an ivory tower metaphor, which refers to isolation from the practical world, often used for academics or intellectuals. However, looking at the specific senses provided:

 Sense 1 refers to the actual building/structure.
 Sense 2 refers to things shaped like towers (columns, etc.).
 Sense 3 refers to a boat.

 Wait, "tower" can also refer to a specific place of isolation (ivory tower), but looking at the definitions provided:

 Definition 1: "a structure taller than its diameter; can stand alone or be attached to a larger building" - this would include an ivory tower metaphorically, but literally it's just the building.

 Actually, looking more carefully at the sentence: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower" - this sounds like it could be referring to an "ivory tower" - a state of isolation or seclusion from the world. But is that one of the given senses?

 The given senses are:
 1. Physical tower structure
 2. Anything column/tower shaped
 3. A boat (tugboat)

 None of these explicitly mention "ivory tower" as a metaphor for academic seclusion. However, the phrase "in the tower" when referring to passion staying there...

 Wait, could this be referring to a control tower? Or a specific tower?

 Let me reconsider. The phrase "ivory tower" is a common idiom. If the sentence is "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower", and given the options, which sense fits best?

 If it's referring to an ivory tower metaphorically, it would still be sense 1 (the structure), used metaphorically.

 But let me look at sense 2 again: "anything that approximates the shape of a column or tower" - examples include "the test tube held a column of white powder". This is about shape.

 Sense 3 is clearly wrong - it's about boats.

 So it's between 1 and 2.

 "Stays in the tower" - this implies a building or enclosed space. So sense 1 seems most appropriate. The metaphorical "ivory tower" usage would fall under sense 1 as it's referring to the structure/building.

 However, I should verify if there's any other interpretation. Could "tower" here mean something else?

 Actually, looking at the sentence again without overthinking the "ivory tower" idiom: "It is a passion that usually stays in the <t>tower</t>".

 If we consider that this might be from a specific dataset (like WordNet or similar), and the sentence is provided as an example of one of these senses...

 In WordNet (which these definitions look like they might be from):
 - Sense 1: tower (noun) - a structure taller than its diameter...
 - Sense 2: column, tower, pillar - anything that approximates the shape of a column or tower
 - Sense 3: tugboat, tug, towboat, tower - a powerful small boat...

 The phrase "in the tower" strongly suggests being inside a structure (sense 1). You can't really be "in" a shape (sense 2) in the same way, and while you can be in a boat (sense 3), "stays in the tower" doesn't fit the boat meaning well contextually, and the boat sense is much less common.

 Also, "ivory tower" is a metaphorical use of sense 1.

 Therefore, the answer should be 1.

 But wait, I need to be careful. The sentence says "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower". This sounds like it could be referring to academics or intellectuals staying in their "ivory tower" - isolated from practical concerns. This is definitely using sense 1 (the building/structure) metaphorically.

 Sense 2 is about shape (like a column of powder), not about being inside something.

 So the answer is 1.

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

 Sentence: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, <t>however</t>."

 Let me analyze the sentence structure:
 - "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower" - This is the first clause
 - "however" - This is the word in question
 - The sentence seems to be contrasting something. The word "however" here appears to be used as a conjunctive adverb indicating a contrast or opposition to what was previously stated or implied.

 Looking at the senses:
 1. "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)" - This seems like it could fit, but let me look at the example: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - This example seems a bit odd grammatically. Actually, looking more carefully, sense 1 seems to be about concession, like "however" meaning "nevertheless" or "in spite of that."

 2. "by contrast; on the other hand" - The example is: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - This shows "however" being used to contrast two clauses. In the given sentence, "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" - this seems to be contrasting with something that came before (not shown in the snippet). The word "however" here is likely introducing a contrast to a previous statement.

 Wait, let me reconsider the sentence structure. The sentence ends with "however," which suggests it might be contrasting with the previous context. But looking at the example for sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - this shows "however" in the middle of a clause or between clauses to indicate contrast.

 Actually, looking at the sentence again: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
 This could mean:
 - It is a passion that usually stays in the tower; however, [it sometimes doesn't] (implied contrast)
 - Or it could be contrasting with a previous statement.

 But the key is the position and usage. In sense 2, "however" means "by contrast" or "on the other hand."

 Let me look at sense 1 again: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)" - example: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - This example actually looks wrong or non-standard. Usually we wouldn't say "although... however" together like that.

 Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
 - Sense 1 seems to correspond to "nevertheless" or "in spite of that" - used to introduce a statement that contrasts with something that has just been said.
 - Sense 2 seems to correspond to "on the other hand" or introducing a contrasting point.

 But looking at the examples more carefully:
 Sense 1 example: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - This seems like it might be illustrating "however" as a conjunction meaning "but" or "nevertheless."
 Sense 2 example: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - This shows "however" as an adverb indicating contrast between two parts.

 Actually, I think I need to look at this more systematically. The sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" suggests that "however" is being used to contrast this statement with something previously mentioned.

 In many dictionaries, "however" has these main senses:
 1. In whatever manner or way (corresponds to sense 4)
 2. To whatever degree or extent (corresponds to sense 3)
 3. Nevertheless, yet, on the other hand (corresponds to sense 1 or 2)

 Looking at the specific definitions provided:
 Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)" - This is the "nevertheless" meaning.
 Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand" - This is also a contrastive meaning, but perhaps emphasizing the comparison aspect more.

 The example for sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - This is a classic use of "however" to contrast two clauses or phrases.

 The sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" - if this is standing alone or at the end of a sentence, it might be indicating that despite something mentioned earlier, this passion usually stays in the tower. Or it could mean that on the other hand, it usually stays in the tower (contrasting with something else).

 Actually, looking at the sentence structure again: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
 The placement at the end with a comma suggests it's being used as a sentence adverb or conjunctive adverb indicating contrast with the previous context.

 But wait - the example for sense 1 says "usually following a concession." The example given is "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it." This is actually a bit confusing because "although" and "however" are both concessive markers, and using them together is redundant or ungrammatical in standard English.

 Let me reconsider. Maybe the example is meant to show: "I'm a little afraid; however, I'd like to try it" or something similar.

 Actually, looking at standard WordNet or similar lexical databases:
 Sense 1 often corresponds to the "nevertheless" usage.
 Sense 2 corresponds to "on the other hand" or contrasting two items.

 In the sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" - the word "however" is likely contrasting with a previous statement. For example, if the previous sentence was "Sometimes this passion is expressed openly," then "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" would mean "on the other hand" or "but" or "nevertheless."

 Given the example for sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - this matches the structure where "however" is placed within or at the end of a clause to contrast with a previous clause.

 In the target sentence: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" - this looks like it could be sense 2, where it's contrasting with something mentioned before.

 But let me also consider sense 1. The definition says "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)." If the sentence is saying "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower" as a concessive or contrasting statement to something else, then sense 1 might fit.

 Actually, looking at the exact wording of sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)" - this suggests that "however" is used to introduce something that goes against what was just conceded.

 But the most common use of "however" at the end of a sentence or clause with a comma before it is to mean "nevertheless" or "on the other hand."

 Let me look at the examples again to distinguish between sense 1 and sense 2:
 Sense 1 example: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - This example is problematic. It might mean: "Although I'm a little afraid, I would, however, like to try it" or it might be illustrating a specific usage.
 Sense 2 example: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - This clearly shows contrast between two parts.

 The sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" seems to align with sense 2, where it's contrasting with something previously stated. The word "however" here means "but" or "on the other hand" or "nevertheless."

 Actually, looking at dictionary definitions more carefully:
 - Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary" = nevertheless, in spite of that
 - Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand"

 These are very similar. But sense 2 emphasizes the comparative/contrastive aspect, while sense 1 emphasizes the concessive "despite that" aspect.

 In the sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however," the word is likely being used to contrast with a previous statement. This would be sense 2.

 But wait, I should also consider if it could be sense 1. The phrase "despite anything to the contrary" suggests that "however" is being used in the sense of "no matter what" or "regardless of opposition," which is slightly different from simple contrast.

 Let me think about the context. The sentence says "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however." This could be a response to something like "Is this passion ever expressed publicly?" Answer: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however." Meaning "despite what you might think" or "nevertheless."

 Actually, looking at the structure "..., however" at the end of a sentence, this is characteristic of the conjunctive adverb use meaning "nevertheless" or "on the other hand."

 Between sense 1 and sense 2, both involve contrast. But sense 2 specifically mentions "by contrast; on the other hand" and the example shows exactly the structure: "[clause], however" or "[clause]; [subject], however, [verb]".

 The example for sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" shows "however" set off by commas in the second clause, contrasting with the first clause.

 The target sentence: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" has "however" at the end, set off by a comma. This is a bit unusual to have it at the very end, but it could be elliptical: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however [it sometimes comes out]." Or it could be contrasting with the previous sentence.

 Actually, looking at the sentence again: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
 If "however" is at the end, it might be functioning as an adverb meaning "though" or "nevertheless" at the end of the sentence. In English, we can say "It usually stays in the tower, however" meaning "It usually stays in the tower, though" or "It usually stays in the tower, nevertheless."

 This usage - where "however" means "nevertheless" and appears at the end of a sentence or clause - is typically sense 1 or sense 2.

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

 The phrase "by contrast" in sense 2 suggests a comparison between two distinct things, whereas sense 1 suggests a contradiction or opposition to what might be expected.

 In "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however," the word is likely contradicting or qualifying a previous statement, which would fit sense 1 ("despite anything to the contrary").

 But the example for sense 1 is confusing: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it." This looks like it might be a poorly constructed example, or it might be showing "however" in a specific position.

 Let me reconsider sense 3 and 4 to make sure I'm not missing something:
 Sense 3: "to whatever degree or extent" - This is the "however much" or "however long" usage, as in "However long it takes, I will wait." The example "The results, however general, are important" shows "however" meaning "no matter how" or "to whatever extent."
 Sense 4: "in whatever way or manner" - This is "however you do it" or "in whatever manner," as in "However you look at it, I'm right."

 The sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" does not fit senses 3 or 4. It must be sense 1 or 2.

 Now, between sense 1 and 2:
 The key difference is that sense 1 is about concession/contradiction ("despite anything to the contrary"), while sense 2 is about contrast/comparison ("by contrast; on the other hand").

 In many lexical databases, these are distinguished as:
 - Sense 1: concessive/resultative "however" (meaning "nevertheless")
 - Sense 2: adversative "however" (meaning "on the other hand")

 But looking at the example for sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - this is clearly contrasting two parts.
 The example for sense 1: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - if we ignore the "although" (which might be a typo or error in the example), this would be "I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" meaning "nevertheless."

 Actually, looking at the sentence structure "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" - this is most similar to sense 2. The word "however" is being used to contrast this statement with something that came before.

 But I want to be careful. Let me think about whether "however" at the end of a sentence fits sense 1 or 2 better.

 In standard usage, "however" at the end of a sentence often means "though" or "nevertheless." For example: "I don't agree with him, however." This would be sense 1 (concessive).

 But "however" can also be used at the end to mean "on the other hand" in some contexts, though this is less common.

 Actually, looking at the specific wording of sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)." This suggests that "however" introduces or follows a concession. The phrase "usually following a concession" is interesting - it means "however" typically comes after a concessive clause.

 In the sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however," the word "however" is at the end. This doesn't quite fit "following a concession" in the sense of coming after a concessive clause - unless the whole first part is the concession.

 Wait, I think I need to look at this differently. The phrase "usually following a concession" might mean that this sense of "however" usually appears after a concessive statement or in a concessive context.

 But actually, looking at the example again: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - this is very strange. It might be that the example is meant to be read as: "Although I'm a little afraid, however, I'd like to try it" - but even that is redundant.

 Or perhaps the comma placement is different: "Although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - this could mean "Although I'm a little afraid, [it is] however [that] I'd like to try it" - no, that doesn't make sense.

 Let me assume the example might have a typo and should be: "I'm a little afraid; however, I'd like to try it" or "I'm a little afraid. However, I'd like to try it."

 In that case, sense 1 is the standard "nevertheless" meaning.

 Sense 2 "by contrast; on the other hand" is also similar, but emphasizes the comparison aspect.

 Given the sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however," and considering that this is likely contrasting with a previous statement about the passion sometimes being expressed or being visible, the sense is probably 2.

 But let me reconsider the position. "However" at the end of a sentence is often equivalent to "though." For example: "It's expensive, however" = "It's expensive, though." This is a concessive usage, which would be sense 1.

 However (sense 2! :-)), the specific definition of sense 2 includes "by contrast" and the example shows contrasting two situations.

 Let me look for clues in the sentence itself: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
 The word "usually" suggests a contrast with something unusual. Perhaps the previous context mentioned an exception or a case where it didn't stay in the tower.

 Actually, without the previous context, it's hard to be certain, but the structure "..., however" at the end of a sentence is most commonly associated with sense 1 (meaning "nevertheless" or "despite that").

 But looking at the example for sense 2 again: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - here "however" is surrounded by commas in the second clause. This is the classic "adversative" or "contrastive" use.

 In the target sentence, "however" is at the end: "..., however." This is different from the medial position in the example.

 However, "however" can be moved: "The second took hours, however" is also valid and means the same as "The second, however, took hours."

 So both positions are possible for the contrastive sense.

 Now, is there any reason to prefer sense 1 over sense 2?

 Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)"
 The phrase "despite anything to the contrary" suggests a stronger adversative meaning, like "no matter what" or "in spite of everything."

 Actually, looking at WordNet or similar resources:
 - Sense 1 might correspond to "however, nevertheless, still, yet, all the same, even so, nonetheless, notwithstanding" - the concessive adverbs.
 - Sense 2 might correspond to "however, on the other hand" - the contrastive adverbs.

 The distinction is subtle. In many cases, they overlap.

 But looking at the specific example for sense 1: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - I wonder if this is actually illustrating a different structure. Maybe it's: "Although I'm a little afraid, [that is] however [that] I'd like to try it" - no.

 Or maybe the example is: "Although I'm a little afraid — however, I'd like to try it" — using dashes?

 Actually, I think the example might be poorly transcribed. It might mean: "I'm a little afraid; however, I'd like to try it."

 Given the confusion with the example, let me focus on the definition: "despite anything to the contrary."

 In the sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however," if "however" means "despite anything to the contrary," it would be saying: "Despite anything to the contrary, it is a passion that usually stays in the tower" or "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, despite anything to the contrary."

 This makes sense as sense 1.

 For sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand" - "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, by contrast" or "on the other hand." This also makes sense.

 But the phrase "usually stays in the tower" suggests a qualification or limitation, which is often introduced by a concessive "however." For example: "He is passionate about this. It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however." Here "however" is concessive - limiting or qualifying the previous statement.

 This would be sense 1.

 But wait - "usually stays in the tower" is not necessarily a concession. It could be a simple contrast.

 Let me think about this differently. In the sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however," the word "however" is likely functioning as a sentence adverb (disjunct) indicating the speaker's attitude toward the proposition - specifically, that it contrasts with what was said before.

 In modern linguistic analysis, "however" is often categorized as an adversative connector.

 Looking at the specific numbering and definitions provided in the question, I need to determine which one matches.

 Let me look at sense 3 and 4 again to make absolutely sure:
 Sense 3: "to whatever degree or extent" - example: "The results, however general, are important." This is the wh-ever sense, like "however much," "however long." This doesn't fit.
 Sense 4: "in whatever way or manner" - example: "Victory, however it was brought about, was sweet." This is also a wh-ever sense, meaning "in whatever way." This doesn't fit.

 So it's between 1 and 2.

 Now, looking at the exact wording of the definitions:
 1. "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)"
 2. "by contrast; on the other hand"

 The phrase "usually following a concession" in sense 1 is key. It suggests that sense 1 occurs in contexts where a concession has been made, and "however" introduces the main point despite that concession.

 The phrase "by contrast" in sense 2 suggests a comparison between two different things or situations.

 In the sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however," without more context, it's most likely contrasting with a previous statement. This would be sense 2.

 But the word "usually" is interesting. It suggests that the passion is typically confined but might not always be. The "however" might be emphasizing this limitation in contrast to some other possibility.

 Actually, I think I found a clue. The sentence structure with "however" at the end, preceded by a comma, is very commonly used to mean "nevertheless" or "in spite of that" - which is sense 1.

 For example: "He promised to help; he didn't show up, however." This is sense 1.

 Sense 2 is more likely to be used when comparing two explicit things: "A is X; B, however, is Y."

 In the given sentence, there's only one clause: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower." The "however" is appended to it. This suggests that "however" is being used as a sentence adverb meaning "nevertheless" - sense 1.

 But I'm not entirely certain. Let me reconsider sense 2.

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - this has two distinct parts being contrasted.

 The target sentence has only one main clause. The "however" is at the end. This is more characteristic of sense 1.

 However, I want to check if sense 2 can appear at the end. "The first part was easy; the second took hours, however." Yes, that's grammatical and means the same thing. So position alone doesn't determine the sense.

 Let me think about the meaning of "usually stays in the tower." This is describing a characteristic of the passion. The "however" suggests that this is contrary to expectation or in contrast to something else.

 If the previous sentence was something like "Sometimes this passion is expressed openly," then "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" would mean "on the other hand" or "by contrast" - sense 2.

 If the previous sentence was something like "He seems very expressive about his interests," then "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" would mean "nevertheless" or "despite that" - sense 1.

 Without the previous context, both are possible. But the phrase "usually stays in the tower" suggests a qualification or limitation. The word "however" often introduces such qualifications.

 In many style guides and dictionaries, when "however" means "nevertheless" and appears at the end of a sentence, it's sense 1.

 But looking at the specific definition of sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)."

 The phrase "usually following a concession" is puzzling. Does it mean:
 a) "however" usually follows a concessive clause (like "although...")?
 b) This sense of "however" is used when following a concession?

 If (a), then the example "although I'm a little afraid, however..." makes sense as illustrating that "however" follows the concessive clause "although I'm a little afraid."

 But that example is ungrammatical because "although" and "however" are redundant.

 Unless... the example is meant to be parsed differently. Maybe: "Although I'm a little afraid, [it is] however [that] I'd like to try it." No, that doesn't work.

 Maybe the comma is in the wrong place in the example: "Although I'm a little afraid however, I'd like to try it." Still bad.

 Maybe it's: "I'm a little afraid. However, I'd like to try it." But then where does "although" fit in?

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

 Could it be that this is illustrating two separate uses? Or is it saying that "however" can replace "although"? Like: "Although I'm a little afraid, I'd like to try it" vs "I'm a little afraid; however, I'd like to try it."

 I think there might be an error in my parsing of the example. Let me assume the example is: "Although I'm a little afraid, however, I'd like to try it" - and this is meant to show that "however" can appear in a concessive context, even if the example is redundant.

 Or perhaps the example is: "[X], although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" - no.

 Let me try a different approach. I'll look at which sense is most likely based on typical usage patterns.

 The sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" appears to be from a text where "however" is used to contrast with the previous sentence.

 In the Brown Corpus or similar corpora, sentence-final "however" is most often sense 1 (nevertheless).

 But I want to be more systematic. Let me look at the exact definitions one more time:

 Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)"
 - This is the "in spite of that" meaning
 - It acknowledges a contrary viewpoint or fact but asserts something anyway
 - Example paraphrase: "Although X, however Y" or "X; however, Y"

 Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand"
 - This is the "in comparison" meaning
 - It sets up a direct contrast between two things
 - Example: "A is X; B, however, is Y"

 In the target sentence: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however"
 This is a single proposition with "however" appended. This is more like sense 1, where "however" qualifies the statement as being contrary to expectation.

 Actually, I realize now that I should look at whether "however" is being used as a coordinator or a subordinator or an adverb.

 In all these senses, it's an adverb. But in sense 1 and 2, it's a conjunct (connecting adverb).

 The key difference between sense 1 and 2 in many dictionaries is:
 - Sense 1: concessive - "nevertheless"
 - Sense 2: adversative - "on the other hand"

 In the sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however," the most natural reading is that "however" means "nevertheless" or "though" - indicating that despite some implication to the contrary, the passion stays in the tower.

 This would be sense 1.

 But let me double-check by considering if it could be sense 2. If sense 2 means "by contrast," then the sentence would be saying "By contrast, it is a passion that usually stays in the tower." This requires a previous sentence stating something like "Other passions are expressed openly."

 Both are possible, but sense 1 is more general and common for sentence-final "however."

 However, looking at the example for sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" - this is exactly the kind of contrast where two things are being compared.

 The target sentence doesn't have two things being compared explicitly. It has one statement with "however" attached. This suggests sense 1.

 Wait, I want to look at the phrase "usually following a concession" in sense 1 again. This is crucial.

 "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)"

 This means: This sense is used when you want to say "despite anything to the contrary," and it usually comes after a concession.

 A concession is when you acknowledge a point against your main argument. For example: "It is expensive. It is worth buying, however." Here, "it is expensive" is the concession, and "however" introduces the main point "it is worth buying."

 In the target sentence: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
 If "however" is sense 1, then the first part would be the concession, and "however" would indicate that despite the passion staying in the tower, something else is true. But "however" is at the end, so it would have to be: "[Main point], however [concession]" or the other way around.

 Actually, if "however" is at the end, it might be that the whole sentence is the concession, and the main point is implied or was in the previous sentence.

 Example: "He claims to be open about his feelings. It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however." Here, the second sentence concedes that it usually stays in the tower, and "however" indicates that this is contrary to the claim of openness.

 This would be sense 1.

 For sense 2: "He is open about his politics. It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however." Here, "however" contrasts the two passions - politics vs. this other passion. This is "by contrast" - sense 2.

 Which is more likely? Without context, both are possible. But the phrase "usually stays in the tower" is a descriptive fact, not necessarily a concession.

 However, the word "however" at the end of a sentence is very commonly used in the sense of "nevertheless" (sense 1).

 Let me try to find the original source of this sentence or a similar pattern. The phrase "stays in the tower" is somewhat metaphorical. It might be from a text about astronomy (tower observatory) or about Rapunzel or something similar.

 Actually, looking at the sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower," this sounds like it might be describing someone who is passionate about something but keeps it private or hidden away.

 The word "however" at the end would then mean "though" or "nevertheless."

 I think the answer is 2. Wait, why 2?

 Let me reconsider the definitions one more time with fresh eyes.

 Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)"
 - This is the "no matter what" sense or the "nevertheless" sense in contexts of strong opposition.

 Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand"
 - This is the "but" sense, used to contrast two statements.

 In many multiple-choice or word sense disambiguation tasks, "however" used to connect two clauses in a contrasting way is sense 2.

 The sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" is contrasting with something. The word "by contrast" in the definition suggests that sense 2 is about comparing two different things or situations.

 But "despite anything to the contrary" suggests that sense 1 is about persisting in spite of opposition.

 Actually, I think I've been misreading sense 1. Let me look at it again: "despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)"

 This could mean that "however" is being used as in: "However you look at it, I'm right" - no, that's sense 4.

 Or it could mean: "I will do it, however much you object" - no, that's sense 3.

 Wait. Let me reconsider sense 1 with the example: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"

 Could this be illustrating: "Although I'm a little afraid, I'd like to try it, however" - with "however" at the end?

 Or could the comma be misplaced: "Although I'm a little afraid however, I'd like to try it"?

 Actually, I think I see it now. The example might be: "Although I'm a little afraid, [I] however [would] like to try it." Meaning "Although I'm a little afraid, I nevertheless would like to try it."

 In this case, "however" is in the middle of the clause, meaning "nevertheless."

 But in the target sentence, "however" is at the end.

 Let me try a different approach. I'll look for similar sentences in corpora or dictionaries.

 In the Oxford English Dictionary or similar, the senses of "however" include:
 1. In whatever manner; to whatever extent (wh-ever)
 2. Nevertheless; yet; in spite of that (concessive)
 3. On the other hand; but (contrastive/adversative)

 The question labels these as:
 1. despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession) -> This sounds like the concessive "nevertheless"
 2. by contrast; on the other hand -> This sounds like the adversative "but/however"
 3. to whatever degree or extent -> This is the wh-ever quantifier
 4. in whatever way or manner -> This is the wh-ever manner

 So sense 1 = nevertheless/concessive
 Sense 2 = on the other hand/contrastive

 Now, the example for sense 1: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"
 If we parse this as: "Although I'm a little afraid, however, I'd like to try it" - this is redundant (although + however).
 If we parse this as: "Although I'm a little afraid, [it is] however [that] I'd like to try it" - ungrammatical.
 If we parse this as: "I'm a little afraid; however, I'd like to try it" - this is standard, and "however" means "nevertheless."

 I think the example has a typo and should not have "although." Or it should be: "I'm a little afraid. However, I'd like to try it."

 Assuming sense 1 is "nevertheless" and sense 2 is "on the other hand," which one fits the target sentence?

 "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."

 This is most likely sense 2. Why? Because "by contrast; on the other hand" fits the context of contrasting this passion with something else mentioned previously.

 But "nevertheless" also fits: "It is nevertheless a passion that usually stays in the tower" or "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, nevertheless."

 Actually, looking at the word order: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
 If "however" means "nevertheless," it could be modifying the whole clause.
 If "however" means "on the other hand," it could be indicating a turn in the argument.

 I think the answer is 2. The phrase "by contrast" suggests that the sentence is presenting information that contrasts with what came before. The word "usually" suggests a qualification that sets up a contrast.

 Let me verify by considering if sense 1 makes sense. Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary."
 "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, despite anything to the contrary."
 This would mean that even though there are contrary indications, it stays in the tower. This is possible.

 But sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand."
 "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, by contrast."
 This means that unlike something else, this one stays in the tower.

 Both work. But the example for sense 2 ("the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours") is structurally very similar to the target sentence, where "however" appears in the second part contrasting with the first part (even though the first part isn't shown in the snippet, the structure suggests it's a continuation).

 Actually, the target sentence is a single sentence. The example for sense 2 has a semicolon connecting two clauses. But "however" can appear with just a comma when the contrast is with the previous sentence or implied.

 I think I need to make a decision. Based on the structure and the fact that "however" at the end of a sentence setting up a contrast with previous material is typically sense 2 (comparing/contrasting), while sense 1 is more about concession and persistence despite opposition...

 Actually, no. Let me reconsider one more time.

 The definition of sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary"
 This is actually quite specific. It means "in spite of opposition" or "regardless."

 The definition of sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand"
 This means "differing from what was just said."

 In "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however," the word is most likely meaning "on the other hand" or "in contrast" to something mentioned before.

 Therefore, the answer is 2.

 But I'm not 100% sure. Let me see if there's any other clue.

 The word "usually" is a frequency adverb. It suggests that this is a general characteristic. The "however" suggests an exception or contrast.

 Actually, looking at similar exam questions or WSD tasks, "however" used to mean "on the other hand" or "but" is typically sense 2.

 The answer is 2.

 Wait, I want to check one more thing. Could this be sense 1 with the meaning "nevertheless"?

 "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, nevertheless."
 This works too.

 But the phrase "despite anything to the contrary" suggests a stronger meaning of "no matter what."

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

 The parenthetical "usually following a concession" is the key. It tells us when this sense is used. If the sentence doesn't follow a concession, it's not sense 1.

 Does "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however" follow a concession? Without the previous sentence, we can't be sure, but the structure suggests it's making a contrasting point, not conceding a point.

 Actually, "following a concession" might mean that "however" follows the concessive clause. In "Although X, Y," the "although X" is the concession, and "Y" is the main clause. If "however" is in Y, then it follows the concession.

 Example: "Although he is passionate, it usually stays in the tower, however." Here, "although he is passionate" is the concession, and "however" follows it.

 But this is getting too speculative.

 Let me try a different approach. In the sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however," the word "however" is almost certainly a discourse marker indicating a contrast with the previous discourse.

 In the WordNet database (which these definitions resemble), the senses are:
 1. however, nevertheless, still, yet, all the same, even so, nonetheless, notwithstanding - despite anything to the contrary
 2. however, on the other hand - by contrast

 The first group is used for "in spite of that" contexts.
 The second group is used for "on the other hand" contexts.

 The example "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" is clearly sense 2 - contrasting two parts.

 The target sentence structure "..., however" at the end is ambiguous, but given that it's describing a characteristic (staying in the tower) that contrasts with some other situation, and given that sense 2 explicitly mentions "by contrast," I think the answer is 2.

 Actually, you know what, let me reconsider sense 1's example one more time. "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"

 Could this be a non-standard or archaic usage? Or could "however" here mean "in whatever way" (sense 4)? "Although I'm a little afraid, in whatever way I'd like to try it" - no, that doesn't make sense.

 Could it be: "Although I'm a little afraid, [I would like] however [to try it]"? No.

 I think the example is just poorly constructed or there's a typo. It should probably be: "I'm a little afraid; however, I'd like to try it."

 In that case, sense 1 is "nevertheless" and sense 2 is "on the other hand."

 For the target sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however," both could work, but "on the other hand" (sense 2) is slightly more appropriate for contrasting situations, while "nevertheless" (sense 1) is more for persisting despite difficulty.

 Given the word "usually" which indicates a general pattern, and the context of describing where a passion stays, this is most likely contrasting with a different passion or different behavior. So sense 2.

 I'll go with 2.

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

Sentence: <t>More</t> often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry.

Senses:
1. definition=used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs | examples=more interesting
2. definition=comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent | examples=he works more now

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

 Sentence: "More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry."

 The word "more" is marked with <t></t> tags, so it's referring to the word "More" at the beginning of the sentence.

 Let's look at the two senses provided:

 1. definition=used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs | examples=more interesting
    - This is the sense where "more" is used as a comparative marker with adjectives/adverbs (e.g., "more beautiful", "more quickly")

 2. definition=comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent | examples=he works more now
    - This is the sense where "more" functions as an adverb meaning "to a greater extent" or comparative of "much"

 Now, let's analyze the phrase "More often than not":
 - "Often" is an adverb
 - "More often" means "with greater frequency" or "to a greater extent"
 - This is the comparative form of "often"
 - But wait, is "more" here forming the comparative of the adverb "often" (sense 1), or is it the comparative of "much" (sense 2)?

 Actually, looking carefully:
 - Sense 1: "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs" - this would be when "more" combines with an adjective/adverb to make the comparative form (for words that don't take -er)
 - Sense 2: "comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent" - this is when "more" stands alone as an adverb meaning "to a greater extent"

 In "More often":
 - "Often" is an adverb
 - "More" + "often" = comparative of "often"
 - This would seem to fit sense 1, where "more" is used to form the comparative of an adverb.

 However, let's look at the phrase "more often than not". This is an idiomatic expression meaning "usually" or "frequently".

 But let's reconsider the definitions:
 - Sense 1 seems to be about forming comparatives of adjectives and adverbs (like "more interesting", "more quickly")
 - Sense 2 seems to be about "more" as a quantifier or degree adverb on its own (comparative of "much")

 In "more often", "more" is modifying the adverb "often" to create the comparative form. This is exactly what sense 1 describes: "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs".

 Wait, but let me double-check. In "he works more now" (example for sense 2), "more" is standing alone, not followed by an adjective or adverb. It's functioning as an adverb itself (comparative of much).

 In "more often", "more" is modifying "often". Since "often" doesn't form its comparative with -er (we don't say "oftener" usually, though it's technically possible, we usually say "more often"), this fits sense 1.

 But actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
 - Sense 1 corresponds to the use of "more" as a comparative marker for multi-syllabic adjectives/adverbs
 - Sense 2 corresponds to "more" as the comparative of "much" (quantifier)

 In "more often than not", "more" is forming the comparative of "often". So this should be sense 1.

 But wait, I need to be careful. Sometimes "more" + adverb can be analyzed differently. Let me think about the specific definitions given.

 Sense 1: "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs"
 - Example: "more interesting" (adjective)
 - This would apply to "more often" (adverb) as well

 Sense 2: "comparative of much; to a greater degree or extent"
 - Example: "he works more now" - here "more" is not followed by an adjective/adverb, it's modifying the verb "works"

 So in "More often", since "more" is immediately followed by the adverb "often" and forming its comparative, this is sense 1.

 However, I should verify if there's any ambiguity. The phrase is "More often than not". Here "more" is definitely forming the comparative of "often".

 Therefore, the answer should be 1.

 But let me reconsider one more time. Could it be sense 2? If we interpret "more" as meaning "to a greater degree or extent" and "often" as... no, that doesn't make sense. "More" isn't standing alone here; it's modifying "often".

 Actually, looking at the example for sense 2: "he works more now" - here "more" could be replaced with "more hours" or "to a greater extent", but it's standing alone.

 In "more often", "more" cannot stand alone; it needs "often" to complete the meaning. So it's forming the comparative of "often".

 Therefore: Sense 1.

 Wait, I want to double-check the exact wording of sense 1 again: "used to form the comparative of some adjectives and adverbs". Yes, that's exactly what "more often" is - the comparative form of the adverb "often".

 So the answer is 1.

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

Sentence: More <t>often</t> than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry.

Senses:
1. definition=many times at short intervals | examples=we often met over a cup of coffee
2. definition=frequently or in great quantities | examples=I don't drink much
3. definition=in many cases or instances

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to identify which sense of "often" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "More <t>often</t> than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry."

Let me analyze the three senses:

1. "many times at short intervals" - This refers to frequency of occurrence, like doing something repeatedly.
2. "frequently or in great quantities" - This also refers to frequency but seems more about quantity or regularity.
3. "in many cases or instances" - This refers to probability or likelihood across cases, meaning "usually" or "in most instances."

Now looking at the sentence: "More often than not..."

The phrase "more often than not" is an idiom that means "usually" or "in most cases" or "frequently in terms of probability across instances."

Let me check the sentence meaning: "More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry."

This means: In many cases/instances, ringers think of the church this way. It's talking about what is typically the case, not about something happening many times at short intervals.

Sense 1: "many times at short intervals" - This would be about repeated actions over time.
Sense 2: "frequently or in great quantities" - This is similar to sense 1 but emphasizes quantity.
Sense 3: "in many cases or instances" - This is about the proportion of cases or instances.

"More often than not" specifically means "in more than half of the cases" or "usually" - it's about the frequency of cases/instances, not about something happening repeatedly over time in a single situation.

So sense 3 seems to be the correct one: "in many cases or instances."

Let me verify with the examples:
- Sense 1 example: "we often met over a cup of coffee" - this is about repeated meetings.
- Sense 2 example: "I don't drink much" - wait, that doesn't seem to match. Let me look again. The example given is "I don't drink much" but that doesn't contain "often". Maybe there's a typo in the prompt or the example is incomplete. But looking at the definition "frequently or in great quantities", this would be about doing something a lot.
- Sense 3: "in many cases or instances" - this is about what happens across different situations.

"More often than not" is definitely using "often" in the sense of "in many cases" - it's a statistical or probabilistic usage meaning "in the majority of instances."

Therefore, the answer is 3.

Sentence: More often than not, <t>ringers</t> think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry.

Senses:
1. definition=a person who rings church bells (as for summoning the congregation)

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

"More often than not, <t>ringers</t> think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry."

Key context clues:
- The word "ringers" is plural
- They think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry
- "Belfry" is a tower or part of a church where bells are hung
- The phrase "stuck on the bottom of the belfry" suggests these ringers are associated with belfries

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

Definition 1 mentions "a person who rings church bells" and mentions "summoning the congregation." This fits with the context of "belfry" (where bells are) and "church."

Definition 2 is about look-alikes, which doesn't fit the context of belfries and churches.

Definition 3 is about fraudulent contestants, which doesn't fit.

Definition 4 is about horseshoes, which doesn't fit the church/belfry context.

The sentence is clearly talking about people who ring bells in church belfries. The phrase "think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry" is a humorous or critical comment from the perspective of bell ringers who spend their time in the belfry and might view the church building itself as just the base of their tower.

Therefore, the correct answer is sense 1.

6. definition=choose in one's mind | examples=Think of any integer between 1 and 25

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

Sentence: "More often than not, ringers <t>think_of</t> the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry."

The key structure here is "think of X as Y" - the ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry.

Let me look at each sense:

1. "keep in mind for attention or consideration" - This is about remembering or considering something. The example "Remember the Alamo" suggests memory or keeping something in mind. This doesn't fit well with the "as" construction in the sentence.

2. "take into consideration, have in view" - Example: "He entertained the notion of moving to South America". This is about considering an idea or possibility. The sentence isn't about considering the church as an option or possibility.

3. "look on as or consider" - Example: "she looked on this affair as a joke". This matches the structure "think of X as Y" or "look on X as Y". The definition says "look on as or consider" which fits the pattern in the sentence where ringers consider/look on the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry.

4. "intend to refer to" - Example: "I'm thinking of good food when I talk about France". This is about what one has in mind or refers to. The sentence isn't about referring to something.

5. "devise or invent" - Example: "He thought up a plan to get rich quickly". This is about creating or inventing something. Not applicable here.

6. "choose in one's mind" - Example: "Think of any integer between 1 and 25". This is about selecting mentally. Not applicable here.

Sense 3 seems to be the best fit: "look on as or consider". The sentence uses "think of... as..." which is a construction indicating how someone views or regards something - they regard the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry.

The phrase "think of X as Y" is a common construction meaning to regard X in the manner of Y, or to consider X to be Y. This aligns with sense 3: "look on as or consider".

Let me double-check:
- Sense 3: "look on as or consider" | examples=she looked on this affair as a joke
- The sentence: ringers think of the church as something stuck...

Yes, this is clearly sense 3. The structure "think of X as Y" matches "look on X as Y" in the example for sense 3.

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

 Sentence: "More often than not, ringers think of the <t>church</t> as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry."

 Let me analyze the context:
 - "ringers" - this refers to bell ringers (people who ring church bells)
 - "belfry" - this is the tower or part of a building where bells are hung
 - "stuck on the bottom of the belfry" - this describes a physical structure

 The sentence is talking about the physical building or structure. Ringers (bell ringers) are thinking of the church as a physical structure attached to the bottom of the belfry (where the bells are).

 Now let's look at the senses:
 1. A group of Christians with beliefs and forms of worship - this is a denomination or sect, not a physical building
 2. A place for public (especially Christian) worship - this is the physical building/structure
 3. A service conducted in a house of worship - this is a religious service/event
 4. The body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church - this is the congregation/community of people

 Given the context of "stuck on the bottom of the belfry" and the mention of ringers (bell ringers), this is clearly referring to the physical building (the church building structure).

 Sense 2: "a place for public (especially Christian) worship" fits best because it refers to the physical building/place.

 The phrase "something stuck on the bottom of the belfry" suggests a physical structure, not a group of people, a service, or a denomination.

 Therefore, the answer is 2.

Let me analyze the sentence. The word "bottom" is used in the phrase "bottom of the belfry." A belfry is a tower or part of a church where bells are hung. The sentence says ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry.

Wait, let me think about this more carefully. In bell ringing terminology, ringers are in the belfry (where the bells are). The church building is below the belfry. So the church is at the bottom of the belfry? Or rather, the belfry is at the top of the church, so the church is beneath/under the belfry.

Actually, looking at the sentence: "ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry." This seems to mean that from the perspective of the ringers in the belfry, the church is attached to the bottom (lowest part) of the belfry.

So "bottom" here means the lowest part of the belfry - the base or lower end of the belfry structure.

Sense 1: "the lower side of anything" - this would be like the underside.
Sense 2: "the lowest part of anything" - this fits best. The bottom of the hill, the bottom of the belfry. It's the lowest part of the belfry.

Wait, is it the lowest part of the belfry, or the lower side? Let me think. If something is stuck on the bottom of the belfry, and the belfry is a tower, the bottom would be its base - the lowest part. The church is below the belfry, so it's at the bottom of the belfry (where the belfry meets the church).

Actually, in architectural terms, the belfry sits on top of the church tower. So the church is below the belfry. If ringers are in the belfry, they might view the church as being attached to the bottom of the belfry (the base).

Sense 2 says "the lowest part of anything" with the example "they started at the bottom of the hill." This seems to match "bottom of the belfry" - the lowest part of the belfry structure.

Sense 1 is "the lower side of anything" - this is more like the underside (e.g., the bottom of a plate). But a belfry is a vertical structure, so it has a bottom (base) rather than just a lower side.

So the answer should be 2.

Let me double-check. Could it be sense 1? "Lower side" usually implies a horizontal orientation (like the bottom of a box = the lower side). But for a hill or belfry, we say "bottom" meaning the lowest part. The example for sense 2 is "bottom of the hill" which is analogous to "bottom of the belfry."

Yes, sense 2 is correct.

The user wants me to identify which numbered sense of "complete" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "When their changes are <t>completed</t>, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below."

 Let me analyze the context. The word is "completed" and it's used in the phrase "their changes are completed."

 "Changes" here likely refers to bell ringing changes (sequences of ringing bells in change ringing). In bell ringing terminology, "changes" are the different orders in which bells are rung.

 Now let's look at the definitions:

 1. come or bring to a finish or an end | examples=He finished the dishes
 2. bring to a whole, with all the necessary parts or elements | examples=A child would complete the family
 3. complete or carry out | examples=discharge one's duties
 4. complete a pass
 5. write all the required information onto a form | examples=fill out this questionnaire, please!

 In the sentence "When their changes are completed", it means when the ringing sequence/task is finished or brought to an end.

 Looking at definition 1: "come or bring to a finish or an end" - this fits. The changes (bell ringing sequences) are being brought to a finish.

 Definition 2 is about making something whole or adding necessary parts. That doesn't fit here.

 Definition 3 is "complete or carry out" with the example "discharge one's duties". This could potentially fit, as it means carrying out the changes. But "completed" in the passive voice with "changes" suggests the changes are being finished, not that someone is completing (carrying out) the changes.

 Actually, let me think more carefully. In bell ringing, "changes" refers to the patterns of ringing. When ringers "complete their changes", they are finishing the ringing sequence.

 Definition 1: "come or bring to a finish or an end" - this is the most general definition of complete meaning to finish something.

 Definition 3: "complete or carry out" - this is more about performing or executing duties.

 In the sentence "their changes are completed", the word is used in the sense of finishing or ending the changes (the bell ringing patterns).

 The example for sense 1 is "He finished the dishes" which is about finishing a task.
 The example for sense 3 is "discharge one's duties" which is about carrying out responsibilities.

 "Changes" in bell ringing refers to the sequences rung. When changes are completed, it means the ringing session or the particular set of changes has been finished.

 I think sense 1 is the best fit: "come or bring to a finish or an end."

 However, let me double-check the exact wording. The verb is passive: "are completed." The subject is "their changes."

 If we look at sense 3: "complete or carry out" - this would mean "When their changes are carried out" - that could work too.

 But "complete" in the sense of "carry out" is usually used with words like "duties," "tasks," "orders," etc.

 "Changes" in the context of bell ringing is a technical term. Let me think about how it's used.

 Actually, looking at the example "He finished the dishes" for sense 1, and comparing to "changes are completed," both suggest finishing an activity or task.

 Sense 3 "discharge one's duties" is about performing or executing.

 In the sentence, "When their changes are completed" means when they have finished ringing the changes (the bell sequences). This is about bringing an activity to an end.

 I believe the answer is 1.

 Wait, I should be more careful. The word is marked as <t>completed</t>, and the sentence is about bell ringers ("ringers").

 In change ringing, ringers ring "changes" which are permutations of the order of the bells. When they have "completed" their changes, they have finished ringing.

 The definition "come or bring to a finish or an end" matches this usage.

 Definition 1: come or bring to a finish or an end
 Definition 3: complete or carry out

 These are somewhat similar, but definition 1 is the general "finish" meaning, while definition 3 is the "perform/execute" meaning.

 "He finished the dishes" = he completed the task of washing the dishes.
 "Discharge one's duties" = perform one's duties.

 "Changes are completed" = the changes are finished (brought to an end).

 I think definition 1 is correct.

 But let me look at the exact wording of the definitions again:

 1. come or bring to a finish or an end
 2. bring to a whole, with all the necessary parts or elements
 3. complete or carry out
 4. complete a pass
 5. write all the required information onto a form

 Definition 4 is clearly for sports (football/soccer).
 Definition 5 is about filling out forms.
 Definition 2 is about making something whole.

 So it's between 1 and 3.

 Definition 1: "come or bring to a finish or an end"
 Definition 3: "complete or carry out"

 The key difference:
 - Definition 1 emphasizes the termination, the ending of something
 - Definition 3 emphasizes the execution, the carrying out of something

 In the sentence "When their changes are completed", it means when the changes have been finished. The emphasis is on the fact that the activity is done, finished, at an end.

 Also, looking at the example "He finished the dishes" for sense 1, this is parallel to "changes are completed" - both involve finishing a task.

 The example for sense 3 is "discharge one's duties" which is about performing duties, not necessarily finishing them (though discharging duties implies completing them).

 Actually, "discharge" means to carry out or perform. So sense 3 is about execution.

 But "complete" in "changes are completed" is about finishing the ringing.

 I found a similar usage. In bell ringing, one says the changes are "completed" or "finished" when the ringing sequence is done.

 I believe the answer is 1.

 However, I want to be absolutely sure. Let me consider if there's any way it could be sense 3.

 Sense 3: "complete or carry out"

 If the sentence were "They completed their changes" (active voice), it could mean they carried out their changes. But in passive "changes are completed", it most naturally means the changes are brought to a finish.

 Also, the phrase "come or bring to a finish or an end" is the core meaning of complete.

 Looking at WordNet or similar lexical databases (which this format resembles), sense 1 is usually the general "finish" sense.

 The answer should be 1.

Sentence: When their changes are completed, and after they have <t>worked up</t> a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below.

Senses:

3. definition=bolster or strengthen | examples=We worked up courage
4. definition=come up with | examples=His colleagues worked out his interesting idea

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

Let me analyze the sentence: "When their changes are completed, and after they have <t>worked up</t> a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below."

The phrase here is "worked up a sweat". This means they have developed or accumulated a sweat through physical activity (in this context, it seems to be about bell ringers, which is physically demanding work).

Now let's look at the options:

1. "form or accumulate steadily" - example: "Resistance to the manager's plan built up quickly"
   - This could potentially fit with accumulating a sweat.

2. "develop" - example: "we worked up an as of an appetite"
   - Wait, the example seems a bit garbled ("an as of an appetite"), but I think it means "worked up an appetite".
   - "Worked up an appetite" or "worked up a sweat" are common collocations.

3. "bolster or strengthen" - example: "We worked up courage"
   - This is about building up courage or nerve.

4. "come up with" - example: "His colleagues worked out his interesting idea"
   - This seems wrong - the example says "worked out" but the definition is about "worked up" as "come up with". Actually, looking closely, option 4 might be about "work up" meaning to create or devise something.

The phrase "work up a sweat" means to engage in physical activity to the point of sweating. It's about developing or producing sweat through effort.

Let me think about the definitions more carefully:

Sense 1: "form or accumulate steadily" - This is about things building up over time, like resistance or pressure.

Sense 2: "develop" - The example is garbled but appears to be "worked up an appetite". This makes sense - you develop an appetite through activity.

Sense 3: "bolster or strengthen" - This is about working up courage, nerve, enthusiasm, etc.

Sense 4: "come up with" - This would be about creating something, like a plan or idea.

"Work up a sweat" is a very common idiom. Let me think about which sense it falls under.

If we look at dictionary definitions:
- "Work up" can mean to develop or produce by exertion (e.g., work up an appetite, work up a sweat)
- It can mean to arouse or stir up (e.g., work up enthusiasm, work up courage)
- It can mean to elaborate or develop (e.g., work up an idea)

The specific phrase "work up a sweat" typically means to exercise or exert oneself to the point of sweating. In terms of the given senses:

Sense 2 says "develop" and gives an example about appetite. Since "work up an appetite" and "work up a sweat" are parallel constructions (both mean to cause something to develop through physical activity or effort), sense 2 seems most appropriate.

Sense 1 is about accumulating steadily, like resistance building up.
Sense 3 is about strengthening courage or nerve.
Sense 4 is about coming up with ideas.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 2 again: "we worked up an as of an appetite" - this looks like a typo for "we worked up a bit of an appetite" or just "we worked up an appetite".

"Work up a sweat" means to produce/develop a sweat through physical exertion. This aligns with sense 2 "develop".

Wait, let me reconsider sense 1: "form or accumulate steadily". Could "work up a sweat" be about forming or accumulating sweat steadily? Maybe.

But typically in multiple choice questions like this, "work up an appetite" and "work up a sweat" are grouped together as "develop" or similar meanings.

Let me look at sense 3: "bolster or strengthen" - this is typically used with abstract things like courage, enthusiasm, interest. Sweat is physical, not abstract.

Sense 4: "come up with" - This is about ideas, plans, etc. Not sweat.

So it's between 1 and 2.

Sense 1: "form or accumulate steadily"
Sense 2: "develop"

In many dictionaries:
- Work up (to develop): to develop a particular feeling or physical condition as a result of physical activity or effort
  - Examples: work up an appetite, work up a sweat, work up a thirst

- Work up (to create): to develop or produce something by work or effort
  - Examples: work up a plan, work up a proposal

- Work up (to excite): to make yourself or another person excited, angry, upset, etc.
  - Example: Don't work yourself up about it.

- Work up (to increase): to increase your speed or the strength of your activity gradually
  - Example: The runners worked up to a fast pace.

But looking at the specific senses provided:
1. form or accumulate steadily
2. develop
3. bolster or strengthen
4. come up with

The phrase "worked up a sweat" means they have generated or developed sweat through physical activity. The most common dictionary definition for this usage is "develop" or "produce".

Sense 2 specifically mentions "develop" and has the example about appetite, which is the parallel construction to "work up a sweat".

I believe the answer is 2.

But let me double check. Is there any chance it's sense 1? "Form or accumulate steadily" - Resistance built up quickly. But "work up" in the sentence is active - they worked up a sweat. They caused the sweat to form. This is more like developing or producing something.

Actually, looking at the example for sense 1: "Resistance to the manager's plan built up quickly" - this uses "built up" not "worked up". The definition says "form or accumulate steadily".

Sense 3: "bolster or strengthen" - "We worked up courage"
Sense 4: "come up with" - uses "worked out" in the example, which is suspicious.

I think sense 2 is definitely the answer. The phrase "work up a sweat" is synonymous with "develop a sweat" through physical activity, just like "work up an appetite" means "develop an appetite."

Actually, wait. I need to be careful. Let me read the sentence again carefully. "When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat..."

The context is about bell ringers (people who ring church bells). This is physically demanding work. After they complete their changes (ringing patterns) and after they have worked up a sweat (engaged in physical exertion to the point of sweating), they go to the pub.

"Work up a sweat" = develop/produce sweat through exertion.

Sense 2: develop
Sense 1: form or accumulate steadily

I think "develop" is more accurate for this usage. When you work up a sweat, you're developing or producing it through activity. "Accumulate steadily" suggests something building up over time in a passive or gradual way, like resistance or pressure. But a sweat is something you actively work to produce.

Actually, let me reconsider sense 1. "Form or accumulate steadily" - could this fit? When you exercise, sweat forms and accumulates. But the verb "work up" suggests active creation.

In standard dictionary entries for phrasal verbs:
- Work up: to develop or produce by mental or physical effort (work up an appetite, work up a sweat)

Sense 2 says "develop".
The example is: "we worked up an as of an appetite" which I interpret as "we worked up [an/a] [bit] of an appetite" or just a garbled "we worked up an appetite."

I think 2 is the answer.

But there's another possibility. "Work up" can mean "excite" or "stir up" - which might be sense 3 "bolster or strengthen" or a different sense.

Let me think about "bolster or strengthen" = "We worked up courage"
This is about building up emotional states.

"Work up a sweat" is about physical states.

I think the mapping is:
Sense 1: accumulation (resistance built up)
Sense 2: development/production of physical states (appetite, sweat)
Sense 3: development/production of emotional states (courage)
Sense 4: creation of ideas (though the example uses "worked out" which is different)

Hmm, actually sense 3 could also fit with physical effort leading to sweat, if we think of it as strengthening or building up. But "bolster or strengthen" usually applies to abstract things like courage, enthusiasm, support.

Let me look at the exact wording again:
Sense 2: "develop" | examples="we worked up an as of an appetite"
Sense 3: "bolster or strengthen" | examples="We worked up courage"

"Worked up an appetite" and "worked up a sweat" are very similar - both are physical responses to activity.
"Worked up courage" is about emotional/psychological state.

So sense 2 is the one about appetite (physical), and sense 3 is about courage (emotional/abstract).

Therefore, "worked up a sweat" should be sense 2.

One more check: Could it be sense 1? "Form or accumulate steadily"
The example is: "Resistance to the manager's plan built up quickly"
Note: "built up" not "worked up"
This sense seems to be about things accumulating or increasing gradually, often used with "build up" rather than "work up."
"Work up" in sense 1 might be used differently. Let me think... actually, "work up" can mean to develop gradually, but the example given uses "built up."

Actually, looking at standard WordNet or similar databases (which this looks like it might be from):
- Work up:
  1. form or accumulate steadily (e.g., "Resistance to the manager's plan built up quickly")
  2. work up into a passion (don't get worked up)
  3. develop (e.g., "work up an appetite")
  4. elaborate (e.g., "He worked up an explanation")

Wait, let me reconsider the senses as presented:

Sense 1: form or accumulate steadily
Sense 2: develop
Sense 3: bolster or strengthen
Sense 4: come up with

Actually, looking at WordNet 3.0:
work up has several senses:
1. form or accumulate steadily: "She is amassing a lot of data for her thesis"; "Resistance to the manager's plan built up quickly"
2. work up into a passion: "He worked up an indignation"
3. develop: "we worked up an appetite"; "build up a reputation"
4. bolster or strengthen: "build up confidence"

Wait, that doesn't look right. Let me think more carefully.

Actually, looking at the verbs:
- work up
- build up
- build

These overlap.

For "work up":
1. To develop or produce by mental or physical effort: worked up a patient profile; worked up an appetite.
2. To excite or arouse the emotions of: The coach worked the crowd up into a frenzy.
3. To develop or elaborate fully: worked up her notes into a dissertation.
4. To increase the strength or intensity of; build up: We worked up a sweat raking leaves.

Oh! This is interesting. Different dictionaries organize these differently.

If sense 4 says "come up with" and has an example with "worked out", that might be a mistake in the question, or it's about developing ideas.

But let's look at sense 3: "bolster or strengthen" - "We worked up courage"
Sense 1: "form or accumulate steadily" - "Resistance... built up quickly"

For "work up a sweat":
- It means to engage in exercise or strenuous activity to the point of perspiring.
- This could be seen as:
  - Developing a sweat (Sense 2)
  - Accumulating a sweat (Sense 1)
  - Building up/ bolstering (Sense 3) - though this is usually for abstract things

But in the context of the options given, and the parallel with "worked up an appetite" in Sense 2, I believe the answer is Sense 2.

However, I want to check if "work up a sweat" could be sense 1 "form or accumulate steadily."
- Does sweat form or accumulate steadily? Yes, as you exercise, sweat accumulates.
- But the phrase "work up" emphasizes the active effort to create this state.

Let me look for authoritative sources on "work up" senses.

In the Collins Dictionary:
1. If you work yourself up into a particular state, you make yourself feel very upset or angry.
2. If you work up an enthusiasm or appetite for something, you develop it, often in preparation for doing something.
3. If you work up a sweat, you start to sweat because you are exercising very hard.

This suggests that "work up a sweat" is sense 2 (develop) or possibly its own distinct sense.

In Merriam-Webster:
1. to stir up: rouse
2. to produce or develop by labor
3. to develop to a higher degree: elaborate
4. to increase the strength or intensity of gradually

"Work up a sweat" fits definition 2 or 4.
Definition 2: produce or develop by labor
Definition 4: increase the strength or intensity of gradually

In the given options:
Sense 2: develop
Sense 1: form or accumulate steadily
Sense 3: bolster or strengthen (increase strength)

"Work up a sweat" is about producing/developing sweat through effort.

The example for sense 2 is "we worked up an appetite" - this is the exact parallel structure to "worked up a sweat."

Therefore, the answer is 2.

Actually, I want to check one more thing. The user wrote the example for sense 2 as: "we worked up an as of an appetite"
This might be a typo for "we worked up a bit of an appetite" or "we worked up somewhat of an appetite" or simply "we worked up an appetite."

Regardless, "work up an appetite" and "work up a sweat" are classic examples of the same sense of "work up" - meaning to develop or produce something (usually a physical condition) through effort.

So: Answer is 2.

Wait, I need to make absolutely sure. Is there any dictionary that classifies "work up a sweat" differently?

Some might classify it under "build up" or "increase gradually."

But looking at the options:
1. form or accumulate steadily - passive accumulation
2. develop - active creation through effort
3. bolster or strengthen - making stronger, usually abstract
4. come up with - creating ideas

Between 1 and 2, "develop" is the better fit for the active creation of a physical state through exertion.

I'm going with 2.

 The user wants me to identify which sense of "sweat" is used in the given sentence. The sentence is: "When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a <t>sweat</t>, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below."

The options are:
1. definition=salty fluid secreted by sweat glands | examples=sweat poured off his brow
2. definition=agitation resulting from active worry | examples=don't get in a stew
3. definition=condensation of moisture on a cold surface | examples=the cold glasses were streaked with sweat
4. definition=use of physical or mental energy; hard work | examples=he got an A for effort

Let me analyze the sentence context. The sentence mentions "ringers" (likely church bell ringers) who have "worked up a sweat" after completing changes (likely bell ringing changes).

"Work up a sweat" is an idiom meaning to engage in physical activity that causes perspiration, or to exert oneself physically.

Looking at the options:
- Option 1 refers to the actual salty fluid/perspiration. "Work up a sweat" literally means to produce sweat on the body through exertion.
- Option 2 is about worry/agitation (like "don't sweat it" or "in a sweat" meaning anxious).
- Option 3 is about condensation on objects.
- Option 4 is about effort/work itself (like "blood, sweat and tears" where sweat metaphorically means effort).

In the phrase "worked up a sweat", the word "sweat" refers to the physical perspiration, not the effort itself (though it's caused by effort). The idiom specifically refers to causing the body to perspire.

However, I need to be careful. Sometimes "sweat" in idioms can refer to the effort. But in "work up a sweat", it typically means to exercise or exert oneself physically to the point of perspiring.

Let me check the specific phrasing: "worked up a sweat"

If they worked up a sweat, they have produced perspiration. So sense 1 seems correct.

But let me look at sense 4 again: "use of physical or mental energy; hard work". Could "sweat" in this context mean the hard work itself?

In the sentence: "after they have worked up a sweat" - this is parallel to "when their changes are completed". The ringers have completed their physical activity (ringing bells), worked up a sweat (perspired), and then go to the pub.

If it meant "hard work", the sentence would be saying they worked up hard work, which doesn't make sense. You don't "work up" hard work. You perform hard work.

"Work up a sweat" is an idiom where "sweat" means perspiration. You work up (produce) perspiration.

Therefore, sense 1 is correct: salty fluid secreted by sweat glands.

Wait, let me double-check if there's any ambiguity. Could it be sense 4?

In WordNet or similar lexical databases, sense 4 might be defined as "use of physical or mental energy; hard work" - examples like "he got an A for effort". But the word "sweat" in "work up a sweat" is literally referring to the moisture on the skin, even if it's used idiomatically to imply exertion.

Actually, looking at standard dictionary definitions:
- Sense 1: Moisture exuded through the pores of the skin
- Sense 4 (possibly): Hard work, drudgery ("by the sweat of one's brow")

But "work up a sweat" specifically means to cause oneself to perspire. So it's definitely sense 1.

The phrase is literally about physical exertion causing perspiration. Bell ringing is physical work that makes you sweat.

So the answer should be 1.

Let me verify the other senses to be sure:
- Sense 2: Agitation/worry - "cold sweat", "in a sweat". Not this context.
- Sense 3: Condensation on surfaces - "sweat" on a glass. Not this context.
- Sense 4: Hard work itself - "sweat and toil". While related, "work up a sweat" uses the literal meaning of perspiration, not the figurative meaning of labor.

Therefore, the answer is 1.

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

"When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, <t>ringers</t> often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below."

Key clues in the sentence:
1. "When their changes are completed" - In bell-ringing terminology, "changes" refers to the patterns rung on bells.
2. "worked up a sweat" - Ringing church bells is physically demanding work.
3. "leaving worship for others below" - This suggests they are in a church tower (above) and the congregation is below.
4. The context involves church bells and worship.

Now let's look at the definitions:
1. definition=a person who rings church bells (as for summoning the congregation) - This fits perfectly with the context of church bells, changes, and worship.
2. definition=a person who is almost identical to another - This doesn't fit the context.
3. definition=a contestant entered in a competition under false pretenses - This doesn't fit the context.
4. definition=(horseshoes) the successful throw of a horseshoe or quoit so as to encircle a stake or peg - This doesn't fit the context.

The sentence is clearly talking about people who ring church bells. The phrase "changes" is a specific term in change ringing (the art of ringing church bells), and the mention of "worship" and being above while others are below confirms this is in a church context.

Therefore, the correct answer is sense 1.
