Context:
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. At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance. The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would "reopen the wound. "But C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar. "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- <t>here</t> come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says. Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself.

reasoning_content:
The word "here" in the context "'here come the ringers from above" is used to indicate arrival at a place - "here come" means "the ringers are coming/arriving here." This is a deictic use meaning "to this place" or "at this place."

Let me look at the candidates:
1. sense_key=here%4:02:00:: - "in or at this place; where the speaker or writer is" - examples: I work here; turn here
2. sense_key=here%4:02:02:: - "in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail" - examples: what do we have here?; here I must disagree
3. sense_key=here%4:02:01:: - "to this place (especially toward the speaker)" - synonyms: hither - examples: come here, please
4. sense_key=here%4:02:04:: - "at this time; now" - examples: we'll adjourn here for lunch and discuss the remaining issues this afternoon

"Here come the ringers" - this is expressing that the ringers are arriving at this place. The construction "here comes X" typically uses "here" to mean "to this place" or "arriving at this place."

Sense 3 seems most appropriate because "here" indicates motion toward the speaker's location. The example "come here, please" is very similar to "here come the ringers."

Sense 1 is "in or at this place" which is more locative static. Sense 3 is directional toward the speaker.

"Here come the ringers from above" - the ringers are coming down from the bell tower to the place where the vicar is, making noise as they come. This is motion toward the speaker's location, so sense 3 fits best.

reasoning_content:
The target word "come" appears in the context: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer"

The ringers are descending/moving toward the speaker (the vicar) from above (the bell tower). This is about movement - they are coming down from the tower.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody" - synonyms: come up - examples: "He came singing down the road; Come with me to the Casbah"
2. "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress" - synonyms: arrive, get - examples: "She arrived home at 7 o'clock"
3. "come to pass; arrive, as in due course"
4. "reach or enter a state, relation, condition, use, or position"
7. "come forth" - synonyms: issue forth - examples: "A scream came from the woman's mouth; His breath came hard"
11. "cover a certain distance"

The context describes ringers moving from above (the bell tower) down to the church area. "Here come the ringers from above" - they are approaching/moving toward the speaker's location.

Sense 1 (move toward, travel toward) fits well - the ringers are moving toward the congregation. The example "He came singing down the road" has a similar structure of someone coming from a direction toward the speaker.

Sense 7 (come forth) could also work since they are coming from above. But the focus is on their movement toward the speaker/congregation, not just emerging.

Sense 1 seems most appropriate. The ringers are physically moving toward the area where the vicar and congregation are, which aligns with "move toward, travel toward something or somebody."

The target word is "above" in the context: "here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer."

This refers to ringers coming from a higher place (the bell tower) down to where the congregation is. So "above" here means "in a higher place."

Sense 2: "in or to a place that is higher" - this fits perfectly.
Sense 1: "at an earlier place" (as in a text/document) - doesn't fit.

The answer is sense 2, which is sense_index 2.

The context is: "here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer"

The word "making" is part of the phrase "making a very obvious exit." This means "making" is used in the sense of performing or carrying out an action - making an exit, i.e., exiting in a noticeable way.

Looking at the candidate senses:

- sense 16: "perform or carry out" with examples "make a decision; make a move" - this fits well with "make an exit" meaning to perform/carry out the action of exiting.
- sense 29: "act in a certain way so as to acquire" with examples "make friends; make enemies" - less fitting
- sense 1: "engage in" with examples "make love, not war; make an effort" - this could also fit since "make an exit" is engaging in the act of exiting

Between sense 1 and sense 16, let me think more carefully.

Sense 1 is "engage in" - this is a general sense for performing actions like "make love," "make an effort," "make war."

Sense 16 is "perform or carry out" - with examples "make a decision; make a move." This seems to be about specific actions/decisions.

"Making an exit" means performing/doing the act of exiting. Both senses could apply, but "make an exit" is a common collocation.

Looking at WordNet more carefully, "make" in "make an exit" typically falls under the "perform or carry out" sense (sense 16) because an exit is a specific action being performed.

Actually, let me reconsider. Sense 1 "engage in" is a more general sense that includes things like "make war," "make love," "make an effort." "Make an exit" is a specific performance of an action.

Sense 16 "perform or carry out" with examples "make a decision; make a move" - making an exit is more like making a move, it's performing a specific action.

I think sense 16 is the best fit here because "making a very obvious exit" is performing/carrying out the act of exiting in a particular way.

Target lemma: very

Context:
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. At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance. The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would "reopen the wound. "But C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar. "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a <t>very</t> obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says. Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=very%4:02:00:: | definition=used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal | synonyms=really, real, rattling | examples=she was very gifted; he played very well
2. sense_key=very%4:02:01:: | definition=precisely so | examples=on the very next page; he expected the very opposite

2. WordNet glosses are schematic; use the context, synonyms, and examples together.
3. Do not answer with a WordNet sense key.
4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

reasoning_content:
The target word "very" in the context "making a very obvious exit" is used as an intensifier, meaning "really" or "extremely." This matches sense 1, which describes "very" as used as an intensifier with synonyms like "really, real, rattling." The example "she was very gifted" is similar in usage to "very obvious."

Sense 2 is for "precisely so," as in "on the very next page," which doesn't fit this context at all.

So the answer is sense_index 1.

The target word is "says" in the context where Vicar Marshall is quoted speaking about the bell ringers making noise. The sentence is: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says."

Here, "says" is used to indicate that the vicar is expressing something in words - he's making a statement. This is the basic sense of expressing in words.

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=say%2:32:00:: | definition=express in words | synonyms=state, tell
2. sense_key=say%2:32:01:: | definition=report or maintain | synonyms=allege, aver

10. sense_key=say%2:32:08:: | definition=recite or repeat a fixed text
11. sense_key=say%2:32:09:: | definition=indicate

The context is a direct quote attribution: "he says" - meaning he is expressing something in words. This is the most basic sense of "say" - to express in words.

Sense 1 (express in words) seems most appropriate. The vicar is expressing his thoughts/observations in words.

Sense 9 (state as one's opinion or judgement; declare) could also fit since he's stating his opinion about the situation.

But the most general and fitting sense is sense 1 - "express in words" - as this is simply the act of speaking/expressing something verbally. The example "He said that he wanted to marry her" is very similar to "he says [quote]".

I'll go with sense 1.

The target word "mixed" in the context "Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue" refers to having both positive and negative feelings simultaneously. This is the common idiomatic expression "mixed feelings."

Looking at the candidate senses:
1. "heterogeneous" - consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds
2. "integrated" - involving or composed of different races

Neither of these perfectly captures "mixed feelings," but sense 1 (heterogeneous/assorted) is closer because "mixed feelings" means having a variety of different (conflicting) feelings. The idea of an assortment of different kinds applies metaphorically here.

Sense 2 is about racial integration, which doesn't fit at all.

So sense 1 is the best match.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "feelings" in the context: "Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself."

The phrase "mixed feelings" refers to having both positive and negative emotional reactions or attitudes about something. This is about experiencing affective and emotional states.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=feeling%1:03:00:: | definition=the experiencing of affective and emotional states | examples=she had a feeling of euphoria; he had terrible feelings of guilt
2. sense_key=feeling%1:09:03:: | definition=a vague idea in which some confidence is placed | synonyms=impression, belief, notion, opinion | examples=his impression of her was favorable; what are your feelings about the crisis?
3. sense_key=feeling%1:26:00:: | definition=the general atmosphere of a place or situation and the effect that it has on people
4. sense_key=feeling%1:09:01:: | definition=a physical sensation that you experience
5. sense_key=feeling%1:09:02:: | definition=the sensation produced by pressure receptors in the skin
6. sense_key=feeling%1:09:00:: | definition=an intuitive understanding of something

"Mixed feelings" is an idiomatic expression meaning having conflicting emotions or attitudes. This aligns most closely with sense 1, which is about experiencing affective and emotional states. The example "he had terrible feelings of guilt" is similar in structure to "mixed feelings."

Sense 2 is about vague ideas or opinions, which could also apply since "feelings about an issue" could mean opinions. However, "mixed feelings" specifically refers to emotional states rather than opinions or beliefs.

The context says he has mixed feelings because he is both a vicar (who might want quiet during prayer) and an active bell-ringer (who loves the sound of bells). This is about conflicting emotions/attitudes, which is sense 1.

I'll go with sense 1.

1. "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled" - This fits well since it's about a dispute.
3. "some situation or event that is thought about" with synonyms "topic, subject, matter" - This also fits.

The context involves a "dust-up" (dispute) about the bell ringers. The vicar has "mixed feelings about this issue." This is a matter/topic in dispute.

Sense 1 emphasizes "in dispute and must be settled" which matches the context of a conflict/dust-up that needs resolution.
Sense 3 is more general - just a topic or subject.

Given the context explicitly mentions a "dust-up" and controversy, sense 1 (an important question that is in dispute and must be settled) seems more fitting than the more general sense 3.

I'll go with sense 1.

The target word "active" is used in the context: "he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself."

This means he is someone who participates in bell-ringing as an activity. He's not just a passive observer but someone who takes part in the activity of bell-ringing.

Let me look at the candidate senses:

1. tending to become more severe or wider in scope - doesn't fit
2. engaged in or ready for military or naval operations - doesn't fit
3. disposed to take action or effectuate change - possible but not the best fit
4. taking part in an activity - this fits well! "an active bell-ringer" means someone who participates in bell-ringing
5. characterized by energetic activity - possible but more about energy level
6. exerting influence or producing a change or effect - doesn't fit
7. full of activity or engaged in continuous activity - possible
8. in operation - doesn't fit
9. (of the sun) characterized by an increased occurrence of sunspots - doesn't fit
10. expressing that the subject has the semantic function of actor - doesn't fit (this is grammatical)
11. expressing action rather than a state of being - doesn't fit (this is grammatical)
12. (of e.g. volcanos) capable of erupting - doesn't fit
13. (of e.g. volcanos) erupting or liable to erupt - doesn't fit
14. engaged in full-time work - doesn't fit

The best fit is sense 4: "taking part in an activity" with synonyms "participating" and examples "an active member of the club; he was politically active."

"Active bell-ringer" means someone who participates in bell-ringing, which aligns perfectly with sense 4.

The target word "sound" appears in the context: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church."

This refers to the auditory effect produced by the bells - the noise/ringing that can be heard. Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. "the particular auditory effect produced by a given cause" - examples: "the sound of rain on the roof; the beautiful sound of music" - This fits well. The sound of bells is a particular auditory effect produced by the bells.

2. "the subjective sensation of hearing something" - This is about the experience of hearing, not the sound itself.

3. "mechanical vibrations transmitted by an elastic medium" - This is more about the physical phenomenon.

4. "the sudden occurrence of an audible event" - This doesn't fit as well; the bells aren't necessarily a sudden event.

5. "the audible part of a transmitted signal" - This is about audio in media.

6. "(phonetics) an individual sound unit of speech" - Not relevant.

7. "a narrow channel of the sea" - Not relevant.

8. "a large ocean inlet or deep bay" - Not relevant.

The best fit is sense 1 - "the particular auditory effect produced by a given cause." The example "the sound of rain on the roof" parallels "the sound of bells" very closely.

reasoning_content:
The context discusses church bells, bell ringers, and the sound of bells drawing people to church. The target word "bells" in "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church" refers to the sound produced by church bells being struck.

Let me consider the candidate senses:

1. bell%1:06:00:: - a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck - this is the physical object
2. bell%1:06:02:: - a doorbell
3. bell%1:11:00:: - the sound of a bell being struck - this matches "The sound of bells"
4. bell%1:28:00:: - nautical time signaling
5. bell%1:25:00:: - the shape of a bell
6-8. People named Bell
9. bell%1:06:04:: - a percussion instrument (chime/gong)
10. bell%1:06:03:: - flared opening of a tubular device

The phrase "The sound of bells" is key here. While this could refer to the physical bells (sense 1) since they are what produces the sound, the phrase specifically emphasizes the "sound" of bells. Sense 3 (the sound of a bell being struck) has an example that includes "she heard the distant toll of church bells," which is very similar to our context about church bells.

However, I need to think carefully. "The sound of bells" - is "bells" here referring to the sound itself or the things that make the sound? In English, "the sound of bells" typically uses "bells" to refer to the instruments/objects that produce the sound, not the sound itself. For example, "the sound of drums" refers to drums (objects), not the sound. Similarly, "the sound of bells" would refer to the bells (objects).

But wait, in WordNet, sense 3 is "the sound of a bell being struck" and its examples include "saved by the bell" and "she heard the distant toll of church bells." The example "the toll of church bells" uses "bells" to refer to the sound, which matches our context.

Actually, let me reconsider. The examples for sense 3 are: "saved by the bell" and "she heard the distant toll of church bells." In "she heard the distant toll of church bells," "bells" could be interpreted as the objects or the sound. But the definition of sense 3 is "the sound of a bell being struck."

Looking at the context: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church" - here "bells" is the thing that produces the sound, and the sentence is saying the sound (produced by bells) draws people. So "bells" here refers to the physical objects (sense 1), and "the sound of" is a modifier.

But in the broader context, the discussion is about church bells and bell-ringers. The "bells" being discussed throughout the passage are physical church bells that are rung. The sentence "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church" is using "bells" to refer to the physical objects whose sound attracts people.

Hmm, but the sense "the sound of a bell being struck" (sense 3) is interesting because the whole sentence is about the sound of bells. Let me think about this more carefully.

In the example "she heard the distant toll of church bells," "church bells" refers to the physical bells. "Toll" refers to the sound. So in "the sound of bells," "bells" is the object and "sound" is describing what comes from it.

But sense 3 is defined as "the sound of a bell being struck" - it's the sound itself. And the synonyms include "toll." So if "bells" in our context meant "the sound of bells," it would be synonymous with "toll of bells."

The sentence "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church" - I think "bells" here refers to the physical bells. The sentence is saying that the sound (that bells make) is what draws people. The subject of the sentence is "the sound of bells" and the predicate is "is a net to draw people."

Actually, I think sense 1 (the physical object) is more appropriate here, because the whole passage is about physical church bells. However, sense 3 could also work because the context emphasizes the sound.

Let me look at the examples for sense 1 vs sense 3:
- Sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck" - this is the physical object
- Sense 3: "the sound of a bell being struck" with example "she heard the distant toll of church bells" and "saved by the bell"

In "saved by the bell," "bell" refers to the sound (the ringing of the bell). In "the toll of church bells," "bells" is the subject that produces the toll.

In our context, "The sound of bells" - "bells" is the object that produces the sound. So this aligns with sense 1 (the physical object), not sense 3 (the sound itself).

But wait, I need to think about this more carefully. The phrase "the sound of bells" could be interpreted as:
1. The sound [produced by] bells - where bells are the objects (sense 1)
2. The sound of bells - where "sound of bells" is a unit meaning the bell-sound (sense 3)

In modern usage, "the sound of bells" typically means interpretation 1, where bells are the objects.

Given the context is about physical church bells and bell-ringers, I'll go with sense 1.

Actually, looking at this again, the sentence "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church" is somewhat idiomatic. The "sound of bells" is being used as a metonym for the church bells themselves, or for the ringing/audible presence of bells.

But in WordNet, sense 3 is specifically about the sound. Let me look at the gloss again: "the sound of a bell being struck." The examples: "saved by the bell; she heard the distant toll of church bells."

Hmm, in the example "she heard the distant toll of church bells," if we replace "church bells" with "the sound of church bells" or "the toll of church bells," both would work. The "toll" is the sound, and "church bells" are the objects.

I think the most natural reading of "The sound of bells" in this context is that "bells" refers to the physical objects. The sentence is saying that the sound (made by bells) draws people to church.

So I'll go with sense 1 (bell%1:06:00::), the physical hollow device.

Wait, let me reconsider once more. The sense 3 example "she heard the distant toll of church bells" - here "church bells" could mean either the physical bells or the sound of bells. The way "toll" is used suggests it's the sound being referred to as "church bells" (a metonym). But this is ambiguous.

In our context, "The sound of bells" - the "sound of" construction typically takes a noun that represents the source, not the sound itself. For example:
- "The sound of drums" - drums are the source
- "The sound of rain" - rain is the source
- "The sound of bells" - bells are the source

So "bells" in "the sound of bells" refers to the physical objects (sense 1).

But there's also the possibility that "sound of bells" is being used to mean the audible ringing as a phenomenon, and "bells" is being used metonymically. In that case, sense 3 could apply.

Given the ambiguity, I need to choose the best fit. The context is about physical church bells, bell towers, and bell-ringers. The "bells" in "The sound of bells" refers to the church bells that the ringers ring. So sense 1 is most appropriate.

Actually, I want to reconsider one more time. Sense 3 has the synonym "toll" and the example "saved by the bell." In "saved by the bell," the bell refers to the sound of the bell (ringing). But the bell in "saved by the bell" could also refer to the physical bell, metonymically. It's a boxing/movie trope where the bell rings to end a round.

OK, I think the most direct interpretation is that "bells" in this context refers to the physical church bells. The sentence is saying that the sound made by these bells is what draws people to church.

My answer: sense 1 (bell%1:06:00::).

Wait, but let me look at the example for sense 3 more carefully: "she heard the distant toll of church bells." If I parse this as "she heard [the distant toll] of [church bells]," then "church bells" is the source of the toll. So "church bells" here would be sense 1, not sense 3.

But sense 3 is defined as "the sound of a bell being struck," which is the abstract sound, not the object. The examples seem to use "bell" in the sense of the sound, but "church bells" in the example could go either way.

OK, I'm going to go with sense 1. The context is clearly about physical church bells, and "the sound of bells" refers to the sound produced by those physical bells.

Final answer: sense_index 1.

Hmm, but actually, thinking about this more - the sentence "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church" is using "the sound of bells" as a single concept. The word "bells" here is being used to refer to the church bells as instruments of calling.

In the broader context, the entire passage is about the physical church bells and the bell-ringers. The vicar is concerned about the bells falling silent, the bell tower, and the ringers. The sentence "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church" is Marshall's view that the ringing of bells (which is the sound of bells) draws people.

I think sense 1 is the best choice because:
1. The context is about physical church bells
2. "The sound of bells" uses "bells" as the object that produces the sound

Context:
At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance. The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would "reopen the wound. "But C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar. "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says. Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself. "The sound of bells is a net to <t>draw</t> people into the church, "he says. "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life. "

reasoning_content:
The target word is "draw" in the sentence: "The sound of bells is a net to <t>draw</t> people into the church."

Here, "draw" means to attract or pull people in. Let me look at the candidate senses.

Sense 26: "direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes" with synonyms "attract, pull, pull in, draw in" - this fits perfectly with "draw people into the church." The bells attract people.

Sense 1: "cause to move by pulling" - synonyms "pull, force" - this is more physical pulling.

Sense 16: "bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition" - examples "She was drawn to despair; The President refused to be drawn into delivering an ultimatum" - this could also fit, as drawing people into the church is leading them to a condition.

Sense 26 seems the best fit because it specifically deals with attracting people through psychological power (the sound of bells), with the example "The ad pulled in many potential customers" which is very similar to drawing people to a church through bells.

So the sense index for sense 26 is... let me count:
1. sense_key=draw%2:35:03:: → 1
2. sense_key=draw%2:40:00:: → 2
3. sense_key=draw%2:35:01:: → 3
