Target lemma: ringer
Target surface form: ringers
Context:
It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however. More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry. When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below. This does not sit well with some clerics. With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band; the <t>ringers</t> promptly set up a picket line in protest. "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says.

reasoning_content: We need answer JSON only. Need decide sense for promptly in sentence: vicar sacked entire band; the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest. Means immediately/right away after being sacked, undesirable? Target modifies set up a picket line in protest, response without delay. Candidate 1 with little/no delay (quickly) general; 3 at once usually modifies undesirable occurrence examples he promptly forgot the address. In context, promptly emphasizes immediate reaction (right away) to sacking. The event 'set up a picket line in protest' isn't undesirable from ringer perspective, but is immediate consequence. WordNet sense 3 'at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)' often used for promptly in 'he promptly forgot' i. ironically immediate undesirable. Here not undesirable necessarily; sense 1 generic with little/no delay best: they set up quickly after sacking. Need choose single best indexed sense. Could argue sense 3 because promptly after negative event 'got sacked' and immediate reaction. Let's examine WSD nuances: promptly%4:02:02 quickly/quick with little/no delay (arrived promptly; come here quick). promptly%4:02:00 punctual manner readily/pronto (homework promptly). promptly%4:02:01 at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence) right away (he promptly forgot address). Sentence: ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest. Adverb indicates immediately in response; 'at once' fits, and the modified occurrence may be undesirable to vicar? A picket line in protest is undesirable for authority. But the usual gloss 'usually modifies an undesirable occurrence' means subject quickly does something undesirable/negative, e. forgot address. Here setting up picket is not undesirable for ringers but unwelcome to vicar. More neutral immediacy = sense 1. Examples in candidate 1 include arrived promptly = quick response; context is quick response to sacking. I'd choose 1. Need final only JSON. Ensure no extra.

He said it was too late...; 8 utter aloud examples She said 'Hello'...; 9 state as opinion/judgement declare examples I say let's forget... Context: Vicar says quoted statement, a reporting clause after direct quote. The lemma 'say' in quotative inversion: "...", Vicar says. This is simply express in words / utter. Need choose best among 1,8 maybe 2. Let's analyze WordNet senses.

Target surface says third singular present, journalistic historic present? Direct quote attribution. Sense 1 say%2:32:00 express in words: state, tell. Broad communication by words. Example: He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you. Direct quote attribution fits generic say. Sense 8 utter aloud: She said `Hello' to everyone in office. Also possible for direct quotes, more focused on producing speech aloud. But context is written attribution to a vicar in article, not necessarily emphasizing aloud articulation. In WSD, "say" with direct quote typically sense 1? Need infer from WordNet: say has many senses. Sense 1 is general 'express in words'. Sense 8 'utter aloud' maybe for 'She said hello' (greeting) with exact words aloud. Here quote reports content of assertion/opinion; attribution 'says' introduces statement. Sense 1 best.

Target lemma: today

Context:
When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below. This does not sit well with some clerics. With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band; the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest. "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says.

The target word is "still" in context: "But there still are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells."

We need choose sense. Let's analyze. Sentence: Great Torrington sacked entire band, new band rings today, several members congregation. But there still are not enough ringers... Meaning despite new band, the condition persists: not enough ringers continues to be true. "still" as adverb: up to and including present time; without change/cessation. Sense 1: with reference to action or condition; without change, interruption, or cessation. Example: it's still warm outside. Fits: there are still not enough ringers (the shortage persists). Could also be sense 2 concession? "But there still are" might combine but still = nevertheless? However phrase "there still are not enough" means the number remains insufficient. Not concessive 'nevertheless' exactly; it indicates continuation of condition. Sense 1 best.

Need return only JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 1}. Ensure no extra. Final only JSON.

"They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says. An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation. But there still are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells.

reasoning_content:
The target is "saying" in the context: "The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would 'reopen the wound.'"

This is a present participle "saying" introducing a quoted/expressed reason. The vicar expresses in words that talking would reopen the wound.

Let me consider the senses:
1. express in words (state, tell) - He said that he wanted to marry her. This fits: saying it would reopen the wound = stating/expressing in words.
2. report or maintain (allege, aver) - more formal assertion/maintaining a claim. Not quite.
8. utter aloud - She said 'Hello' - about physical utterance aloud. Here it's not necessarily about uttering aloud but expressing a statement/reason.
9. state as one's opinion or judgement; declare - I say let's forget this whole business. This is opinion/judgement. "it would reopen the wound" is his stated reason/opinion.

The construction "refuses to talk about it, saying it would reopen the wound" — "saying" here introduces the content of what he says/expresses as explanation. This is the general "express in words" sense (sense 1). It's a report of speech content. Sense 1 "express in words" with examples "He said that he wanted to marry her" matches indirect statement "saying it would reopen the wound."

Sense 9 is "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" with example "I say let's forget this whole business" — that's more like urging/declaring an opinion (I say let's...). Not the same.

The best is sense 1: express in words. The vicar refuses to talk, expressing/stating that it would reopen the wound.

Return {"sense_index": 1}.

reasoning_content: The context: Marshall feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower located next to altar. He explains design/layout problem: ringers exit noisily while congregation at prayer. "fault is in the stairs" means the problem/defect lies in the placement/design of stairs, an imperfection/shortcoming in object/building? Candidate 2 imperfection in object or machine (defect, flaw) could fit: fault in the stairs = defect in design. Candidate 6 responsibility for bad situation: "feels the fault is in the stairs" assigns cause/responsibility to stairs, not blame exactly. Phrase "the fault is in X" often means responsibility/cause lies with X. Sense 6 examples "it was John's fault". Here: feels the fault is in the stairs ... located next to altar = the cause of dispute/silence is the stairs' location. It's responsibility for bad situation attributable to stairs (inanimate). Sense 2 is physical imperfection in object; stairs are not defective, just poorly located. The phrase "fault is in the stairs" = problem lies with stairs. Best is 6? Let's reason: He feels fault is in stairs from bell tower next to altar. So crunch... obvious exit while congregation at prayer. He identifies source/cause of bad situation. Sense 6 responsibility for a bad situation/event. Return JSON only. Sense index 6.
