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

Sentence: 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 <t>promptly</t> set up a picket line in protest.

Senses:
1. definition=with little or no delay | examples=the rescue squad arrived promptly
2. definition=in a punctual manner | examples=he did his homework promptly
3. definition=at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence) | examples=he promptly forgot the address

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "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 <t>promptly</t> set up a picket line in protest."
The word "promptly" here means "without delay" or "immediately".
Let's check the senses:
1. with little or no delay (e.g., the rescue squad arrived promptly)
2. in a punctual manner (e.g., he did his homework promptly)
3. at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence) (e.g., he promptly forgot the address)

In the sentence, the ringers set up a picket line in protest immediately/without delay after being sacked.
Is it sense 1 or sense 3?
Sense 3 is "at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)" like "he promptly forgot".
Sense 1 is "with little or no delay".
Setting up a picket line in protest is an action taken without delay. Sense 1 is the standard definition for "promptly" meaning immediately/without delay. Wait, WordNet defines:
1. promptly, pronto, right away, at once, straight away, straight off, directly, now, in a flash (with little or no delay) "the rescue squad arrived promptly"
2. promptly, punctually (in a punctual manner) "he did his homework promptly"
3. promptly (at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)) "he promptly forgot the address"

Setting up a picket line is an action. It's not a mishap or undesirable occurrence happening to them (like forgetting). It's an intentional action done with little or no delay. Thus, Sense 1.
Let's double check.
"the ringers promptly set up a picket line" -> they did it with little or no delay. Sense 1.

Wait, looking at WordNet:
Sense 1: with little or no delay
Sense 2: in a punctual manner
Sense 3: at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)

Therefore, 1 is the correct sense.
Let's confirm there is no nuance making it 3. Setting up a picket line is not an undesirable occurrence happening to the subject, but an action they take. So 1 is best.

Sentence: 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 <t>protest</t>.

Senses:
1. definition=a formal and solemn declaration of objection | examples=they finished the game under protest to the league president
2. definition=the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent
3. definition=the act of making a strong public expression of disagreement and disapproval | examples=he shouted his protests at the umpire

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "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 <t>protest</t>."

The word "protest" is used in the phrase "in protest".
Sense 1: a formal and solemn declaration of objection
Sense 2: the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent
Sense 3: the act of making a strong public expression of disagreement and disapproval

Setting up a picket line is a public, organized manifestation of dissent.
Let's check the WordNet senses for "protest".
Noun:
1. protest, objection, dissent (a formal expression of disagreement) "they finished the game under protest to the league president" -> Sense 1
2. protest, protestation (the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent) -> Sense 2
3. protest (the act of making a strong public expression of disagreement and disapproval) "he shouted his protests at the umpire" -> Sense 3

"set up a picket line in protest" -> this is a public, organized manifestation of dissent. Sense 2.
Wait, let's look at Sense 2: "the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent".
Picket line is an organized manifestation of dissent.
So it is Sense 2.

Let me double check Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
Sense 2: "the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent"
Sense 3: "the act of making a strong public expression of disagreement and disapproval" (shouting protests).
A picket line is an organized manifestation, so Sense 2 fits perfectly.

Let's review the options.
1: a formal and solemn declaration of objection
2: the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent
3: the act of making a strong public expression of disagreement and disapproval

Sentence: "...set up a picket line in protest."
Picket line = organized manifestation.
Therefore, Sense 2.
I will return 2.

3. stout stick
4. a building occupied by a social club

4. definition=an operation that segregates items into groups according to a specified criterion | examples=the bottleneck in mail delivery is the process of sorting

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as <t>sort</t> of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says."
The word "sort" is used in the phrase "sort of".
"Sort of" means "to some extent", "kind of", "an approximate definition or example".
Looking at the senses:
1. a category of things...
2. an approximate definition or example | examples=she wore a sort of magenta dress
3. a person of a particular character...
4. an operation that segregates items...

In "treated the tower as sort of a separate premises", "sort of" acts as an adverbial phrase meaning "kind of" or "somewhat", which aligns with sense 2 (an approximate definition or example).
Wait, "she wore a sort of magenta dress" uses "sort of" as an adjective phrase meaning "approximate".
"sort of a separate premises" -> approximate definition.
Sense 2 is the correct one.
Let's double check.
Sense 1: category. "What sort of car is it?"
Sense 2: approximate. "sort of magenta", "sort of a separate premises".
Sense 3: person. "He's a good sort."
Sense 4: operation. "sorting".

Therefore, Sense 2.

4. definition=have the connection undone; having become separate

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a <t>separate</t> premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says."
The word is "separate", used as an adjective modifying "premises".
Meaning in context: treating the tower as an independent or distinct premises, not part of the main church or something else.
Let's look at the senses:
1. definition=independent; not united or joint | examples=a problem consisting of two separate issues
2. definition=standing apart; not attached to or supported by anything | examples=a freestanding bell tower
3. definition=separated according to race, sex, class, or religion | examples=separate but equal
4. definition=have the connection undone; having become separate

Sense 1: independent; not united or joint. "a separate premises" -> an independent premises.
Sense 2: standing apart. "a separate premises" doesn't strictly mean freestanding, but rather distinct/independent.
Wait, "separate premises" usually means distinct, independent. Let's check WordNet.
WordNet senses for "separate" (adjective):
1. independent; not united or joint ("a problem consisting of two separate issues"; "separate unconnected entities")
2. standing apart; not attached to or supported by anything ("a freestanding bell tower")
3. separated according to race, sex, class, or religion ("separate but equal")
4. have the connection undone; having become separate

In the sentence, "treated the tower as sort of a separate premises" means they treated it as an independent or distinct entity/location. So Sense 1 fits best.

Let's double check.
"a separate premises" - distinct, independent.
Sense 1 is "independent; not united or joint".
Sense 2 is "standing apart; not attached to or supported by anything" (like a freestanding tower). While a tower might be freestanding, "separate premises" refers to it being a distinct legal or conceptual entity, i.e., independent.
Thus, Sense 1.

Wait, "say" used in attribution of a quote: "the Vicar Hummerstone says."
Sense 1: express in words. "He said that he wanted to marry her."
Sense 2: report or maintain. "He alleged..."
Sense 8: utter aloud. "She said 'Hello'..."
Wait, is this sense 1 or sense 2?
Usually, "say" as a quotative verb (X says "Y") falls under Sense 1: express in words. Or maybe Sense 2?
Let's check WordNet senses for "say".
1. express in words; "He said that he wanted to marry her"
2. report or maintain; "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime"; "The statement says..."

In the sentence: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says."
This is expressing in words. "He said that..." -> Sense 1.
Wait, let's consider if it's 1 or 2. "report or maintain" is usually "allege", "state", "assert". "say" as in "He says he is sick" could be 2. But "He said that he wanted to marry her" is 1.
Quote attribution: "the Vicar Hummerstone says." -> He expresses it in words.
Let's choose 1.

Wait, looking at WordNet:
say (express in words) "He said that he wanted to marry her"
say, state, tell (express a supposition) "Let us say that he did not tell the truth"
say, tell (report or maintain) "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime" -> wait, allege is not say. "The statement says..."

I am confident it is 1.
Let's double check.
Sentence: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says."
Is it 1? Yes.

Could it be 1 (not of long duration; having just come into being)? Yes.
Could it be 5 (other than the former one(s); different)? "they now have a new leaders" - implies replacement. But "entirely new band" implies newly formed.
Let's check WordNet senses for "new".
Sense 1: new (not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered) "a new law"; "new cars"; "a new comet"; "a new friend"; "a new year"; "the New World"
Sense 5: new, novel (other than the former one(s); different) "they now have a new leaders"; "my new car is four years old"

"An entirely new band" - newly formed. So Sense 1.
Let's double check. Wait, could it be 1? Yes, "having just come into being".
Is there any other sense? "new band" -> newly formed band.
Sense 1 fits best.

Let's read the sentence again: "An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation."

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "But there <t>still</t> are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells."
The word "still" here means "continuing to be the case" or "without change".
Let's check the senses:
1. with reference to action or condition; without change, interruption, or cessation | examples=it's still warm outside
2. despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession) | examples=although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it (Wait, the example doesn't even have "still" in it, but it means "nevertheless").
3. to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons | examples=looked sick and felt even worse (again, example has "even", but means "still" as in "still worse").
4. without moving or making a sound | examples=he sat still as a statue

In the sentence "But there still are not enough ringers...", "still" means the condition continues without change. It corresponds to sense 1.

Let's double check.
"there still are not enough" -> condition continues. Sense 1.
Sense 2 would be "nevertheless" (e.g., "he is rich, but still unhappy"). Here "But" already provides the concession/contrast, and "still" just means "continuing to be the case". Actually, "still" in "But there still are not enough" means "as before" or "continuing".
Sense 1 fits best.

Number: 1.

The sentence is: "But there still are not enough ringers to <t>ring</t> more than six of the eight bells."
The word "ring" in this context means to cause the bells to ring, i.e., to make (bells) ring.
Looking at the senses:
1. sound loudly and sonorously (intransitive, e.g., the bells rang)

Let's double check.
Sense 1: "the bells rang" - intransitive.
Sense 3: "Ring the bells" - transitive.
Sentence: "...to ring more than six of the eight bells." - transitive.

There is no ambiguity.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "But there still are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight <t>bells</t>."
The word "bells" refers to physical objects that are rung by "ringers".
Sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck" - this fits perfectly, as church bells or similar bells are rung by ringers.
Sense 2: push button - no.
Sense 3: sound of a bell - no, you don't ring a sound.
Sense 4: nautical time - no.
Sense 5: shape - no.
Sense 9: orchestral instrument - usually played by one person, not "ringers" ringing "six of the eight bells". "Ringers" specifically refers to campanologists who ring church bells (change ringing).

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct sense.
Let's double check. "ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells". This is definitely about church bells (change ringing), which are hollow devices made of metal. Sense 1.

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

Sentence: At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the <t>bells</t> have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance.

10. definition=the flared opening of a tubular device

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the <t>bells</t> have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance."
The word "bells" refers to the church bells, which are hollow devices made of metal that make a ringing sound when struck.
Let's check the senses:
1. a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck
2. a push button...
3. the sound of a bell...
4. nautical...
5. shape...
6. phonetician...
7. painter...
8. inventor...
9. percussion instrument...
10. flared opening...

Church bells fit sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck".

Wait, does it refer to the sound or the device? "the bells have fallen silent" -> the devices have stopped ringing, or the sound has stopped. But "bells" usually refers to the physical objects (the devices) that produce the sound, especially in the context of "church bells". Sense 1 is the physical device. Sense 3 is the sound. "The bells have fallen silent" means the bells (devices) are no longer being rung. Sense 1 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
"the bells have fallen silent" -> the bells (objects) are silent.
Sense 1: a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck.
Sense 3: the sound of a bell being struck. (Usually singular "the bell", or "heard the bell"). Here it's plural "bells", referring to the set of church bells (the physical objects).

Therefore, sense 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen <t>silent</t> following a dust-up over church attendance."
The word "silent" describes the bells. Bells normally ring (make sound), but now they have fallen silent, meaning they are marked by absence of sound, or they are not making a sound.
Let's look at the senses:
1. marked by absence of sound | examples=a silent house
2. failing to speak or communicate etc when expected to | examples=the witness remained silent
3. implied by or inferred from actions or statements | examples=gave silent consent
4. not made to sound | examples=the silent `h' at the beginning of `honor'
5. having a frequency below or above the range of human audibility | examples=a silent dog whistle
6. unable to speak because of hereditary deafness

"the bells have fallen silent" -> marked by absence of sound.
Wait, "not made to sound" refers to letters (silent 'h').
So sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"fallen silent" -> absence of sound.
Sense 1: marked by absence of sound.

Is there any other sense?
No. Sense 1 is correct.
Number: 1.

24. definition=keep to | examples=Stick to your principles

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent <t>following</t> a dust-up over church attendance."
The word "following" here means "after" or "as a result of" or "coming after in time".
Let's look at the senses:
1. to travel behind
2. be later in time (Tuesday follows Monday)
3. come as a logical consequence
4. travel along a certain course
5. act in accordance with
6. come after in time, as a result (A terrible tsunami followed the earthquake)
7. behave in accordance
8. be next
9. choose and follow
10. to bring something about at a later time than

24. keep to

Sense 6: "come after in time, as a result" -> "A terrible tsunami followed the earthquake". "following a dust-up" -> coming after in time, as a result of a dust-up.
Wait, let's consider Sense 2: "be later in time" (Tuesday always follows Monday).
Sense 6: "come after in time, as a result". The bells falling silent came after in time, as a result of the dust-up.
"following a dust-up" -> prepositional use, meaning "after" or "as a result of".
Sense 6 definition: "come after in time, as a result".
Let's double check WordNet senses for "follow".
Sense 6: come after in time, as a result; "A terrible tsunami followed the earthquake" -> This perfectly matches the causal and temporal sequence in "bells have fallen silent following a dust-up".

Let's check Sense 2: "be later in time"; "Tuesday always follows Monday". This is just purely temporal, no causation.
The dust-up caused the bells to fall silent. So Sense 6 is the best fit.

Let's confirm if "following" as a preposition is mapped to Sense 6.
"following" (preposition) -> coming after or as a result of.
Sense 6: come after in time, as a result.

Therefore, the correct sense number is 6.
Let me review Sense 6 again.
definition=come after in time, as a result | examples=A terrible tsunami followed the earthquake.
Yes, "following a dust-up" -> "as a result of a dust-up".

Is there any other sense?
10. to bring something about at a later time than (She followed dinner with a brandy) - No.
So 6 is the correct answer.
Sentence: "the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up" -> the silence came after in time, as a result of the dust-up.
Number: 6.

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

Sentence: At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over <t>church</t> attendance.

Senses:
1. definition=one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship
2. definition=a place for public (especially Christian) worship | examples=the church was empty
3. definition=a service conducted in a house of worship | examples=don't be late for church
4. definition=the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church | examples=our church is hosting a picnic next week

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over <t>church</t> attendance."
The word in question is "church".
The context is "church attendance".
Does it mean:
1. a group of Christians (denomination)
2. a place for public worship
3. a service conducted in a house of worship
4. the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church

"church attendance" usually refers to attending the *service* (sense 3) or attending the *place* (sense 2) or being part of the *body of people* (sense 4). Wait, "church attendance" generally means attending church services. Let's look at WordNet senses for "church".
WordNet senses for "church":
1. church, Christian church: one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship (e.g., "the Catholic church")
2. church: a place for public (especially Christian) worship ("the church was empty")
3. church: a service conducted in a house of worship ("don't be late for church")
4. church: the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church ("our church is hosting a picnic next week")

In "church attendance", "church" acts as a noun adjunct. Does it mean "attendance at the building" or "attendance at the service"? Usually, "church attendance" means attending the service. Wait, in WordNet, "don't be late for church" is sense 3. "church attendance" -> attendance at church services.
Let's consider "go to church" -> sense 3.
Is "church attendance" sense 2 or 3?
Actually, "church" in "church attendance" refers to the service or the institution.
Wait, let's think about "church" as an event/activity vs place. "church attendance" = attending church (the service).
Let's check if there's a better fit.
Sense 3: a service conducted in a house of worship. "church attendance" = attendance at the service.
Wait, could it be sense 4? "the body of people..." - no.
Could it be sense 2? "a place for public worship". "attendance at the place".
Usually, "church" in "church attendance" is synonymous with "church services". Therefore, sense 3.
Let's double check. "go to church" is sense 3. "attend church" is sense 3. "church attendance" -> attendance of church (service).
Wait, "church" in "church attendance" might just be the service.
Let's search my knowledge base for "church attendance" wordnet sense.
Often, "church" in "church attendance" is mapped to sense 3 (service).
Let's review the exact definitions.
2. a place for public (especially Christian) worship
3. a service conducted in a house of worship
If I say "I am going to church", it's sense 3.
"church attendance" refers to the frequency of attending church services. So sense 3.

Let's rethink: could it be sense 2? "church attendance" -> attendance at the church (building). No, people don't attend the building, they attend the service.
Could it be sense 1? No.
So it is 3.

Let me think if "church" in "church attendance" is just the general concept of church (which might not be perfectly covered, but 3 is the closest for the event).
Wait, what if "church" here means the institution? Not an option.
I will bet on 3.

Let's re-read carefully: "following a dust-up over church attendance."
If it means "attending church services", it's 3.

Let's check if there's any ambiguity. "church attendance" -> attending the service.
I'll output 3.
Wait, what if it's 2? "church" as a place. "school attendance" -> school is a place. "church attendance" -> church is a place?
In "school attendance", school is the institution/place.
In "church attendance", is church the place or the service?
WordNet sense 3: "a service conducted in a house of worship" (e.g., "don't be late for church").
WordNet sense 2: "a place for public (especially Christian) worship" (e.g., "the church was empty").
"church attendance" usually means attending the services. "He has poor church attendance."
I will go with 3.
Wait, in SemCor, "church" in "church attendance" might be tagged as sense 3 or 2.
Actually, let's consider the phrase "church attendance". "church" is a noun modifying "attendance".
If I have to choose between 2 and 3, 3 makes more sense because you attend the service. But you also "attend church" (the event).
Let's choose 3.
Wait, is "church" in "church attendance" sense 2? "attendance at a place of worship".
Let's think about "church" in "go to church". It's sense 3.
"church attendance" -> attendance at church (sense 3).
I'll output 3.
Let me reconsider. In many NLP datasets, "church" in "church attendance" is mapped to the service (sense 3) or the place (sense 2). Let's use 3.
Actually, in the sentence "At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster...", the first "Church" is part of the proper noun (sense 2). The second "church" is in "church attendance".
"church attendance" -> 3.
I will output 3.

Sentence: The <t>vicar</t>, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would "reopen the wound. "

Senses:
1. definition=a Roman Catholic priest who acts for another higher-ranking clergyman
2. definition=(Episcopal Church) a clergyman in charge of a chapel
3. definition=(Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "The <t>vicar</t>, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would "reopen the wound. ""
The word is "vicar".
Senses:
1. Roman Catholic priest who acts for another higher-ranking clergyman
2. (Episcopal Church) a clergyman in charge of a chapel
3. (Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish

Is W.D. Jones a Church of England vicar?
Let's search for "W.D. Jones" "vicar" "reopen the wound".
Wait, this sounds like a news article.
Could it be about a specific event? "W.D. Jones" "vicar"
Perhaps the Aberfan disaster? Or some other tragedy?
Wait, if it's W.D. Jones, maybe it's related to a specific Church of England parish.
Let's consider the most common use of "vicar" in British news, which is Church of England (Sense 3).
"W.D. Jones" - could it be a Welsh name? Yes, Jones is very common in Wales. Church in Wales is part of the Anglican communion, often grouped with Church of England in WordNet senses, or it's simply the Church of England sense.
Let's check if there's an exact match for "The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would "reopen the wound.""
Maybe it's about the Aberfan disaster? No, Aberfan was 1966.
Wait, "reopen the wound" - maybe a mining disaster, or a murder?
Regardless, "vicar" in the context of a British parish priest (W.D. Jones) strongly points to Sense 3: (Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish.
Let's double check WordNet senses for "vicar".
1. a Roman Catholic priest who acts for another higher-ranking clergyman
2. (Episcopal Church) a clergyman in charge of a chapel
3. (Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish

Since W.D. Jones is likely a British (Welsh) name, Sense 3 is the most appropriate.
I will return 3.
There is no ambiguity that a British vicar named W.D. Jones corresponds to the Church of England (or Anglican) sense.
Number: 3.

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

Sentence: The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to <t>talk about</t> it, saying it would "reopen the wound. "

Senses:
1. definition=to consider or examine in speech or writing | examples=The author talks about the different aspects of this question
2. definition=discuss or mention | examples=They spoke of many things

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to <t>talk about</t> it, saying it would "reopen the wound. ""
The phrase "talk about" is used here to mean "discuss or mention" something (specifically, an event or issue that would "reopen the wound").
Let's look at the senses:
1. to consider or examine in speech or writing (e.g., The author talks about the different aspects of this question)
2. discuss or mention (e.g., They spoke of many things)

In the sentence, the vicar refuses to discuss or mention "it" (some past event). Sense 2 fits better because it's about discussing or mentioning a topic/event, rather than a detailed examination or consideration in speech or writing (like an author talking about aspects of a question). Wait, "talk about" in WordNet:
Sense 1: discuss, talk about, talk over (speak with others about) -> "They spoke of many things" -> wait, WordNet synsets for "talk about":
Synset 1: discuss, talk about, talk over - speak with others about; "We talked about the situation"
Synset 2: talk about, touch on - refer to or discuss; "The author talks about the different aspects of this question"

Wait, the prompt says:
1. definition=to consider or examine in speech or writing | examples=The author talks about the different aspects of this question
2. definition=discuss or mention | examples=They spoke of many things

In the sentence, "refuses to talk about it" -> discuss or mention.
Therefore, sense 2.
Let's double check. "reopen the wound" implies discussing a past trauma. This is "discussing or mentioning" it. Sense 2 is "discuss or mention".
Sense 1 is "to consider or examine in speech or writing".
So 2 is the correct sense.
I will return 2.

9. state as one's opinion or judgement; declare (I say let's forget...)
10. recite (Say grace)
11. indicate (The clock says noon)

"saying it would 'reopen the wound'" -> expressing in words, stating.
Sense 1: "express in words" matches "He said that he wanted to marry her". The vicar is saying (expressing in words) that it would reopen the wound.
Wait, is it Sense 1 or Sense 2 or Sense 9?
Sense 1: express in words. "He said that he wanted to marry her".
Sense 2: report or maintain. "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime".
Sense 9: state as one's opinion or judgement; declare. "I say let's forget this whole business".

In the sentence, "saying it would 'reopen the wound'" is expressing a reason or a statement in words. It aligns perfectly with Sense 1 (express in words). WordNet sense 1 for "say" is "express in words" (say, state, tell). Example: "He said that he wanted to marry her".
Let's check WordNet definitions for "say":
1. say, state, tell: express in words; "He said that he wanted to marry her"; "I just want to say that I love you"
2. say, allege: report or maintain; "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime"; "The paper says that the president is ill"
3. say: express a supposition; "Let us say that he did not tell the truth"
4. read, say: have or contain a certain wording or form; "The passage reads as follows"
5. order, tell, enjoin, say: give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority; "I said to him to go home"
6. pronounce, articulate, enounce, sound out, enunciate, say: speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way; "She pronounces French words in a funny way"
7. say: communicate or express nonverbally; "What does this painting say?"
8. say: utter aloud; "She said `Hello' to everyone in the office"
9. say: state as one's opinion or judgement; declare; "I say let's forget this whole business"
10. say: recite or repeat a fixed text; "Say grace"
11. say, tell: indicate; "The clock says noon"

The vicar is expressing in words that it would reopen the wound. Thus, Sense 1.
Let's double check if it could be 2 (report or maintain). No, it's not a news report or an allegation.
Could it be 9? "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare". "I say let's forget this whole business" - this is more of an exclamation or proposal.
Sense 1 is the most general and accurate for "saying [that] it would...".

Let's confirm: "saying it would 'reopen the wound'" -> saying (that) it would... -> express in words.
Therefore, Sense 1.

Senses:

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "But C.J.B. Marshall, <t>vicar</t> of a nearby church, feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar."
The senses are:
1. a Roman Catholic priest who acts for another higher-ranking clergyman
2. (Episcopal Church) a clergyman in charge of a chapel
3. (Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish

C.J.B. Marshall is a vicar of a nearby church. "Vicar" in the Church of England is a very common usage, referring to the priest of a parish.
Let's check if there are clues for Roman Catholic, Episcopal, or Church of England.
Usually, "vicar of a nearby church" with a British-sounding name (C.J.B. Marshall) and "vicar" strongly points to Church of England (sense 3).
Wait, "vicar" in WordNet:
1. vicar (a Roman Catholic priest who acts for another higher-ranking clergyman)
2. vicar ((Episcopal Church) a clergyman in charge of a chapel)
3. vicar ((Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish)

The sentence mentions "church", "bell tower", "altar".
Could it be 3? Yes, "vicar of a nearby church" -> Church of England.
Usually, WordNet sense 3 is the most common for "vicar" in British contexts.
Let's consider "C.J.B. Marshall". This sounds like a real news snippet. "C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower..."
This is likely from a UK news source. Thus, Church of England (sense 3).

Let's double check.
Sense 1: Roman Catholic
Sense 2: Episcopal Church
Sense 3: Church of England

I will output 3.
There is no explicit mention of Church of England, but "vicar" is the standard term for a C of E parish priest.
Therefore, 3.

The word is "feels".

Matches perfectly.
Number: 2.

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

Sentence: But C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the <t>fault</t> is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar.

Senses:
1. definition=a wrong action attributable to bad judgment or ignorance or inattention | examples=he made a bad mistake
2. definition=an imperfection in an object or machine | examples=a flaw caused the crystal to shatter
3. definition=the quality of being inadequate or falling short of perfection | examples=they discussed the merits and demerits of her novel
4. definition=(geology) a crack in the earth's crust resulting from the displacement of one side with respect to the other | examples=they built it right over a geological fault
5. definition=(electronics) equipment failure attributable to some defect in a circuit (loose connection or insulation failure or short circuit etc.) | examples=it took much longer to find the fault than to fix it
6. definition=responsibility for a bad situation or event | examples=it was John's fault
7. definition=(sports) a serve that is illegal (e.g., that lands outside the prescribed area) | examples=he served too many double faults

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "But C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the <t>fault</t> is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar."
The word "fault" here refers to a defect, imperfection, or problem in the stairs (an object/structure).
Let's look at the senses:
1. wrong action (mistake)
2. imperfection in an object or machine (flaw)
3. quality of being inadequate
4. geological fault
5. electronics equipment failure
6. responsibility for a bad situation
7. sports serve

Sense 2: "an imperfection in an object or machine" fits best. The stairs have a defect or imperfection (the fault is in the stairs).
Wait, could it be 6? "responsibility for a bad situation"? "feels the fault is in the stairs" -> the stairs are to blame. But "fault is in the stairs" usually means the defect/flaw is in the stairs.
Let's check WordNet senses for "fault".
Sense 2: an imperfection in an object or machine; "a flaw caused the crystal to shatter"; "the flaw is in the stairs". Wait, the example for Sense 2 in WordNet is often "the flaw is in the..." or "a defect in the...". Actually, "fault" as in "the fault is in the stairs" means the defect/imperfection.
Let's re-read Sense 2: definition=an imperfection in an object or machine | examples=a flaw caused the crystal to shatter.
Let's re-read Sense 6: definition=responsibility for a bad situation or event | examples=it was John's fault.

If someone says "the fault is in the stairs", they mean the physical defect or the cause of the problem is located in the stairs. "Fault" here means "defect" or "flaw".
Therefore, Sense 2 is the most appropriate.

Let's double check.
"feels the fault is in the stairs" -> the defect/imperfection is in the stairs.
Sense 2: an imperfection in an object or machine.

Is there any other sense?
1. wrong action
3. inadequacy
4. geology
5. electronics
6. responsibility
7. sports

Sense 2 is clearly the best fit for an imperfection/defect in a physical structure (stairs).
I will output 2.

Sentence: "<t>So</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=to a very great extent or degree | examples=the idea is so obvious
2. definition=in a manner that facilitates | examples=he observed the snakes so he could describe their behavior
3. definition=in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied | examples=They're happy and I hope they will remain so
4. definition=to a certain unspecified extent or degree | examples=I can only go so far with this student
5. definition=in the same way; also | examples=I was offended and so was he
6. definition=in the way indicated; ; ; (`thusly' is a nonstandard variant) | examples=hold the brush so
7. definition=(usually followed by `that') to an extent or degree as expressed | examples=he was so tired he could hardly stand
8. definition=subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) | examples=then he left
9. definition=(used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result | examples=therefore X must be true
10. definition=in truth (often tends to intensify) | examples=they said the car would break down and indeed it did

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "<t>So</t> 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.
The word "So" is used at the beginning of the sentence to introduce a narrative or a sequence of events, or as a filler/connector meaning "subsequently" or "then" or just to start a story. Wait, let's look at the senses.
Sense 8: subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) | examples=then he left. (Wait, the example is "then he left", but "so" can mean "then" or "subsequently" or just be a sentence connector). Let's check other options.
Sense 9: (used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result. (Not a logical conclusion here).
Sense 10: in truth.
Sense 1: to a very great extent.
Let's re-read the sentence. "So crunch, crunch, crunch..." It's used to start a sentence, often as a discourse marker. In WordNet, "so" as a conjunction or adverb.
Wait, "so" (adverb) sense 8: "subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)" - wait, the example for 8 is "then he left" which corresponds to "then", but maybe "so" is synonymous with "then" in this sense? Actually, in WordNet, "then, so, and so, and then" -> subsequently or soon afterward.
Let's check the WordNet senses for "so":
1. to a very great extent or degree (so obvious)
2. in a manner that facilitates (so he could describe)
3. in such a condition or manner (remain so)
4. to a certain unspecified extent (so far)
5. in the same way; also (so was he)
6. in the way indicated (hold the brush so)
7. (usually followed by `that') to an extent or degree as expressed (so tired he could hardly stand)
8. subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) ("then he left", "so he left"?) Wait, "so" can mean "then" as in "and so he left".
Wait, could it be sense 8? Let's check the exact WordNet definition for sense 8 of "so":
"subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)" - examples: "then he left", "so he left"? No, the synset is {then, so, and so, and then}. Example: "then he left".
Let's see if there's any other sense.
What about sense 9? "(used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result; "therefore X must be true"; "the eggs were fresh and this was satisfactory"; "we were young and thence optimistic"; "it is late and thus we must go"; "the witness is biased and so cannot be relied upon"". Synset: {therefore, hence, thence, thus, so, and so}.
What about sense 10? "in truth (often tends to intensify); "they said the car would break down and indeed it did"; "it so happens that I was right"; "so it is"; "so help me God"". Synset: {indeed, so}.

In the sentence: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers..."
This "so" is used to introduce a narrative, similar to "then" or "and so". It functions as a sentence connector indicating a sequence of events or just continuing a story. "Subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)".
Wait, could it be just a filler? WordNet doesn't have a "filler" sense for "so".
Let's consider "so" in "So crunch, crunch...". It means "And then" or "Next". This aligns perfectly with sense 8: "subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)".

Let's double check if there's any other sense.
1. to a very great extent
2. in a manner that facilitates
3. in such a condition
4. to a certain unspecified extent
5. in the same way
6. in the way indicated
7. to an extent or degree as expressed
8. subsequently or soon afterward
9. logical conclusion
10. in truth

"So crunch, crunch..." -> "Then crunch, crunch...". It indicates what happens next in the story. Therefore, sense 8.
Let's confirm if "so" can mean "then" in this context. Yes, "So I went to the store..." -> "Then I went to the store...". It's a narrative connector. Sense 8 is "subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)".

Let's review the sentence again: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above..."
It's describing a sequence of actions. "So" = "Then".
I am confident it is 8.
No other sense fits. 9 is for logical conclusion (therefore). 10 is for "in truth" (indeed). 1 is "very" (so obvious).
Thus, 8 is the correct choice.
The prompt asks to return only the number of the correct sense.
Number: 8.

Sentence: "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.

Senses:

2. definition=in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail | examples=what do we have here?
3. definition=to this place (especially toward the speaker) | examples=come here, please
4. definition=at this time; now | examples=we'll adjourn here for lunch and discuss the remaining issues this afternoon

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "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."
The word "here" is used in the phrase "here come the ringers".
This means the ringers are coming to this place (toward the speaker/observer).
Wait, "here come" -> "to this place".
Let's check the senses:
1. in or at this place; where the speaker or writer is (I work here)
2. in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail (what do we have here?)
3. to this place (especially toward the speaker) (come here, please)
4. at this time; now (we'll adjourn here for lunch)

"here come the ringers" -> "come here". "Here" indicates the destination or direction of the motion ("come"). Thus, it means "to this place".
Sense 3: to this place (especially toward the speaker).

Let's double check.
"Here comes the bus." -> The bus is coming to this place.
"Come here." -> to this place.
So it is sense 3.

Wait, is "here come" considered "at this place" or "to this place"?
In dictionaries, "here" in "here comes..." is often classified under "to this place" or "at this place".
WordNet:
here (to this place (especially toward the speaker)) "come here, please"
here (in or at this place; where the speaker or writer is) "I work here", "step inside", "over here"
Let's look at the example "come here, please". "Here come the ringers" has the verb "come". The ringers are moving towards the speaker. So "to this place".

Let's check if there is an exact match for "here come" in WordNet.
In WordNet, "here" as an adverb:
1. here, hither (to this place (especially toward the speaker)) "come here, please"
2. here (in or at this place; where the speaker or writer is) "I work here", "step inside", "over here"
3. here (in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail) "what do we have here?"
4. here, now, at this time (at this time; now) "we'll adjourn here for lunch and discuss the remaining issues this afternoon"

"here come the ringers" -> the ringers are coming *to this place*. So sense 3 (which corresponds to WordNet sense 1, but numbered 3 in the prompt).
Wait, the prompt numbers them:
1. in or at this place
2. in this circumstance
3. to this place
4. at this time

Therefore, it's 3.
Let me verify if "here comes" could be "at this place". "Here he is" -> at this place. "Here comes" -> to this place. Yes, "come" implies motion towards.
So 3 is the correct answer.
Sentence: "...here come the ringers from above..." -> they are coming to this place.
Answer: 3.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here <t>come</t> the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says."

The phrase is "here come the ringers from above".
"here come" implies movement toward the speaker or a point of reference, or arriving/appearing.
Let's check the senses:
1. move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody | examples=He came singing down the road
2. reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress | examples=She arrived home at 7 o'clock
7. come forth | examples=A scream came from the woman's mouth
10. exist or occur in a certain point in a series | examples=Next came the student from France

Wait, "here comes/come" usually means "move toward" (sense 1) or "arrive" (sense 2).
Let's look at WordNet senses for "come".
Sense 1: come, come up (move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody) "He came singing down the road"
Sense 2: come, arrive (reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress) "She arrived home at 7 o'clock"

In "here come the ringers", they are moving toward the speaker/observer.
Let's check if there's a specific sense for "here comes".
 Often "here comes" is classified under Sense 1 (move toward).
Wait, "here come the ringers from above" - they are moving towards.
Let's consider Sense 1: "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody".
Is there another sense? "appear" or "come forth"? Sense 7: come forth.
But "here come" implies movement.
Let's check the examples for Sense 1: "He came singing down the road".
"here come the ringers" -> they are coming (moving) from above.
So Sense 1 is highly likely.

Let's double check WordNet.
Verb: come
1. come, come up (move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody) "He came singing down the road"
2. arrive, come (reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress) "She arrived home at 7 o'clock"
...
In "here comes the bus", it's moving toward.
Therefore, sense 1.
Let's review if it could be 2. "reach a destination". They haven't reached it yet, they are "here coming", i.e., approaching.
So 1 is the best fit.
Another option: 10. exist or occur in a certain point in a series ("Next came..."). Not this.

Let's confirm Sense 1.
"here come the ringers from above" -> moving toward.
Yes, 1.

The sentence is: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the <t>ringers</t> from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says.
The context mentions "from above", "congregation is at prayer". This clearly refers to church bells or people ringing church bells. Wait, "here come the ringers from above" - could it be the bells themselves or the people ringing them? The definition 1 is "a person who rings church bells".
Let's check the context: "while the congregation is at prayer". Ringers are people who ring church bells.
Sense 1: a person who rings church bells (as for summoning the congregation)
Sense 2: a person who is almost identical to another
Sense 3: a contestant entered in a competition under false pretenses
Sense 4: (horseshoes) the successful throw...

Clearly Sense 1.
Number: 1.

The word is "making" in the phrase "making a very obvious exit".
"make an exit" means to perform or carry out an exit, or to head into a specified direction.
Let's check the options.
16. perform or carry out | examples=make a decision
28. head into a specified direction | examples=The escaped convict took to the hills (Wait, "make for the hills", "make an exit"?)
Let's search for "make an exit".
"make an exit" -> perform or carry out?
Wait, "make a decision", "make a move", "make an exit". This is "perform or carry out".
Let's check 16: perform or carry out.
Let's check 28: head into a specified direction (make for, make to).
Let's check 36: proceed along a path (make one's way).
"make an exit" is a collocation for "perform or carry out" (like make a jump, make a turn, make a move, make an exit).
Wait, "make an exit" could also be "perform or carry out".
Let's consider "make a very obvious exit". "Exit" is a noun here. "Make" means to perform the action of exiting.
Sense 16: perform or carry out (make a decision, make a move, make an exit).
Let's double check WordNet senses for "make".
Sense: perform or carry out; "make a decision", "make a move", "make advances", "make an exit".
Yes, "make an exit" is exactly an example of "perform or carry out" in WordNet.
Let's verify:
WordNet verb make:
- perform or carry out: "make a decision", "make a move", "make advances", "make an exit"
Wait, does it have "make an exit"?
Let's check the examples for Sense 16: "make a decision".
Yes, "make an exit" fits "perform or carry out".

Let's review the senses:
16. definition=perform or carry out | examples=make a decision
24. definition=carry out or commit | examples=make a mistake
28. definition=head into a specified direction | examples=The escaped convict took to the hills (this is "make for" or "take to")

Therefore, 16 is the correct sense.
Let's quickly check if there's any other sense.
"make an exit" -> perform or carry out.
I am confident in 16.
Checking 16 again: "perform or carry out"
Sentence: "...making a very obvious exit..."
Matches perfectly.
Number: 16.

reasoning_content:
The user wants to identify the sense of the word "very" used in the provided sentence.
Sentence: "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.

Senses:
1. used as intensifiers; `real' is sometimes used informally for `really'; `rattling' is informal | examples=she was very gifted
2. precisely so | examples=on the very next page

In the sentence, "very" modifies "obvious". "very obvious" means extremely obvious. This matches sense 1 (used as an intensifier).
Sense 2 is used for emphasis on a specific noun (e.g., "the very next page", "the very man").

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.
I will return only the number 1.
