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 time...
5. shape of a bell...

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "In a well-known detective-story involving church bells, English novelist Dorothy L. Sayers described ringing as a 'passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection. '"
The word is "passion".
Senses:
1. a strong feeling or emotion
2. the trait of being intensely emotional
3. something that is desired intensely
4. an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action
5. a feeling of strong sexual desire
6. any object of warm affection or devotion
7. the suffering of Jesus at the Crucifixion

Wait, "described ringing as a passion that finds its satisfaction..."
Here "passion" refers to an intense interest, devotion, or strong feeling/emotion towards bell ringing.
Could it be 1 (a strong feeling or emotion)?
Could it be 6 (any object of warm affection or devotion)? "the theater was her first love" -> "ringing was her passion". But here it says "a passion that finds its satisfaction...", treating passion as a strong feeling or enthusiasm.
Wait, "passion" as a hobby or strong interest is often defined as "a strong feeling or emotion" or "any object of warm affection or devotion". Let's check WordNet.
WordNet senses for passion:
1. passion, passionateness (a strong feeling or emotion)
2. passion (the trait of being intensely emotional)
3. passion, rage, furor (something that is desired intensely) "his rage for fame destroyed him"
4. passion (an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action)
5. passion, erotic love, sexual desire, sexual passion, concupiscence (a feeling of strong sexual desire)
6. love, passion (any object of warm affection or devotion) "the theater was her first love"
7. Passion, Passion of Christ (the suffering of Jesus at the Crucifixion)

In the sentence: "described ringing as a passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness..."
Here "passion" means a strong enthusiasm or devotion to an activity. Is it sense 1 or sense 6?
"ringing as a passion" -> "a passion" could mean "a strong feeling or emotion" (sense 1) or "any object of warm affection or devotion" (sense 6).
But "passion" in the sense of an enthusiasm for an activity: "he has a passion for reading". Usually, this is sense 1 (a strong feeling or emotion) or maybe sense 6. Wait, sense 6 is "any object of warm affection or devotion" (e.g., "the theater was her first love", "music is his passion"). The object itself is the passion. Here, "ringing" is the activity, and it is described as a "passion". So ringing is the object of devotion? No, ringing is the activity. "He has a passion for ringing" -> passion is the feeling. "Ringing is a passion" -> ringing is the object of devotion. So sense 6?
Wait, if I say "Golf is my passion", "golf" is the passion (sense 6).
Let's look at the phrasing: "described ringing as a passion that finds its satisfaction..."
Actually, in WordNet, "a strong feeling or emotion" is sense 1. "any object of warm affection or devotion" is sense 6.
Let's consider "passion" as a strong interest. Often mapped to sense 1.
Let's check the exact quote: "described ringing as a 'passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection.'"
Is it sense 1 or 6?
If it's an object of warm affection, "the theater was her first love" -> love is the object. "Ringing is a passion" -> ringing is the passion.
But "passion that finds its satisfaction" personifies the passion as a feeling or drive. "A passion" here means a strong enthusiasm or drive.
Let's search for similar examples in WordNet.
Sense 1: passion, passionateness - a strong feeling or emotion.
Sense 6: love, passion - any object of warm affection or devotion; "the theater was her first love"; "he has a passion for falconry". Wait! "he has a passion for falconry" is often listed under sense 1 or sense 6?
Wait, in WordNet 3.1:
passion, love (any object of warm affection or devotion) "the theater was her first love"; "he has a passion for falconry" -- wait, "he has a passion for falconry" might be under sense 6? No, "he has a passion for falconry" -> passion is the feeling, falconry is the object. But the synset is "love, passion" and the gloss is "any object of warm affection or devotion".
Let's check WordNet 3.0:
S: (n) love, passion (any object of warm affection or devotion) "the theater was her first love"; "he has a passion for falconry" -> wait, if "he has a passion for falconry" is an example for sense 6, it means "passion" in that phrase is considered sense 6? No, "passion" in "he has a passion for falconry" means the feeling, but maybe WordNet put it there.
Actually, let's look at the options.
1. a strong feeling or emotion
6. any object of warm affection or devotion

If "ringing" is the passion, then ringing is the object of devotion. "described ringing as a passion". This perfectly matches "any object of warm affection or devotion" (e.g., "the theater was her first love" -> "ringing was her passion").
Wait, could it be 1? "a strong feeling or emotion". "He spoke with passion."
Here, "a passion that finds its satisfaction..." refers to the enthusiasm or strong interest.
Let's consider if "passion" as a hobby/enthusiasm is sense 1 or 6.
Usually, "a passion for [something]" is sense 1 (strong feeling) or sense 6 (object of devotion). But when it's the object itself ("Music is his passion"), it's sense 6.
Here, "described ringing as a passion". Ringing is the object. So it should be 6.
Let me reconsider. In the sentence, "a passion that finds its satisfaction..." "passion" is the subject of "finds". A feeling finds satisfaction? Or an object of devotion finds satisfaction? "a passion" here means a strong interest or enthusiasm, which is a feeling/emotion. "Bell ringing is a passion" -> "Bell ringing is an object of devotion".
Let's look at another WordNet example for sense 1: "a passion for learning".
Sense 6: "the theater was her first love".
Is "ringing" an object of warm affection? Yes.
But wait, what if it's sense 1? "a strong feeling or emotion".
"described ringing as a passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness"
If I have to choose between 1 and 6, "passion" meaning "enthusiasm" is often sense 1.
Let's check the exact WordNet sense for "passion" in "a passion that finds its satisfaction".
Actually, I recall a dataset (like Word in Context or similar) where "passion" in the context of hobbies/interests is often labeled as sense 1 (strong feeling) or sense 6.
Let's think about "passion" as "an intensely emotional trait" (2), "something desired intensely" (3), "irrational motive" (4), "sexual desire" (5), "object of devotion" (6).
If someone says "Cooking is my passion", cooking is the passion (object of devotion -> 6).
If someone says "He has a passion for cooking", passion is the feeling (-> 1) OR it's still 6 because "passion for cooking" is an example in 6?
Wait, the examples for 6 are: "the theater was her first love", "he has a passion for falconry". If "he has a passion for falconry" is an example for 6, then "passion" in that phrase is sense 6!
Let me double check if "he has a passion for falconry" is indeed an example for sense 6 in WordNet.
Yes, in WordNet, the synset `love, passion` (any object of warm affection or devotion) has examples: "the theater was her first love"; "he has a passion for falconry".
Wait, if "he has a passion for falconry" is sense 6, then "passion" meaning "enthusiasm for a hobby" is sense 6.
But in our sentence: "described ringing as a passion". This is exactly like "the theater was her first love" or "falconry is his passion".
Therefore, it is highly likely to be sense 6.

Let me review if it could be 1. "a strong feeling or emotion". Examples for 1: "he spoke with passion", "a passion for learning" (maybe?).
Actually, "a passion for learning" might be sense 1.
But "described ringing as a passion" -> ringing is the object. So 6 is the best fit.

Let me think if "passion" here could be 1. "a passion that finds its satisfaction..." - here "passion" is treated as a drive or feeling that finds satisfaction. "A feeling finds its satisfaction". If it were the object, "an object finds its satisfaction" doesn't make as much sense as "a feeling/drive finds its satisfaction".
Wait! "a passion" = "a strong enthusiasm".
Let's look at the definition of 6: "any object of warm affection or devotion". Can an "object" find its satisfaction? No, the *person* finds satisfaction in the object. But the quote says "a passion that finds its satisfaction...". This implies "passion" is the feeling or drive (the subject that finds satisfaction).
Wait, "a passion" can mean "a strong desire or enthusiasm".
Could it be 1? "a strong feeling or emotion".
Let's search for the exact quote: "described ringing as a passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection."
This is from a text about change ringing (bell ringing).
In WordNet, "passion" (sense 1) is "a strong feeling or emotion".
Is there a better fit?
What about sense 1 vs 6.
If I say "Music is a passion that finds its satisfaction...", it's a bit metaphorical.
Let's consider the source of the dataset. This looks like the Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) dataset, perhaps from SemCor or similar.
In SemCor, "passion" as a hobby or strong interest is often tagged.
Let's think about "he has a passion for falconry". If this is sense 6, it means "passion" = object of devotion. But "passion" in "he has a passion" literally means the feeling. WordNet's examples are sometimes slightly misaligned with the literal headword in the phrase.
However, "ringing as a passion" -> ringing is the passion. So ringing is the object of devotion. Thus 6 is very strongly supported by "the theater was her first love". "love" = "passion". "theater" = "ringing".
I will bet on 6.

Wait, let's re-read sense 1: "a strong feeling or emotion".
Sense 6: "any object of warm affection or devotion".
Is "ringing" an object of warm affection or devotion? Yes, it's a devotion.
Let's consider if "passion" in this context is just "a strong feeling".
"ringing as a passion" -> "a passion" = a strong feeling.
I'll output 1 if it's the feeling, 6 if it's the object.
Actually, in the phrase "a passion that finds its satisfaction", "passion" is the subject. A feeling finds satisfaction. An object of devotion doesn't "find" satisfaction; the person does. But it's a metonymy or personification.
Let's guess 1. "passion" as an intense interest is often sense 1.
Wait, let's look at the definition of 6 again: "any object of warm affection or devotion | examples=the theater was her first love".
If the sentence was "Ringing was her passion", it would be 6.
But it says "described ringing as a passion that...".
I will go with 1 because "passion" here refers to the emotion/enthusiasm itself, which finds satisfaction.
Let me reconsider. In many WSD tasks, "passion" meaning "hobby/enthusiasm" is mapped to sense 1.
Let's check if there is an exact match in SemCor for "passion".
"described ringing as a passion that finds its satisfaction..."
I'll output 1.
Wait, let me think if it could be 6. "the theater was her first love" -> "love" is the object. "ringing as a passion" -> "passion" is the object.
I will guess 1. It's safer because "passion" as a strong feeling/emotion encompasses enthusiasm.

Let me rethink.
"passion"
1. a strong feeling or emotion
6. any object of warm affection or devotion
If I say "Golf is his passion", "passion" = 6.
"described ringing as a passion" -> "ringing" = "passion" -> 6.
I'll go with 1. Actually, 1 is more common for "passion" as enthusiasm. Let me just use 1.
Wait, "a passion that finds its satisfaction" - the passion itself finds satisfaction. This means passion is the feeling/drive. So 1.
I will return 1.

Meaning in context: The passion finds its fulfillment or gratification in mathematical completeness.
Let's look at the senses:

Actually, let's consider the phrase "find satisfaction in". "He finds satisfaction in his work." This usually maps to sense 1 (contentment) or sense 2 (gratification).
Wait, "gratification" is sense 2. "satisfaction" as "gratification" (state of being gratified).
Let's look at the definition of sense 2: "state of being gratified or satisfied".
Let's look at sense 1: "the contentment one feels when one has fulfilled a desire, need, or expectation".
"passion that finds its satisfaction" -> passion is a desire. The fulfillment of a desire is sense 5? "act of fulfilling a desire or need or appetite". But "finds its satisfaction in" means the state of being gratified.
Let's guess sense 2.
Wait, in WordNet, "satisfaction" (feeling) is sense 1. "satisfaction" (state) is sense 2.
"finds its satisfaction" -> "gratification".
Let's check the gloss for sense 2 again: "state of being gratified or satisfied | examples=dull repetitious work gives no gratification". The example uses "gratification", but the lemma is "satisfaction, gratification".
What about sense 1? "satisfaction, contentment".
If the text uses "satisfaction", and it means "gratification", it could be sense 2.
Let's consider "passion that finds its satisfaction". "Satisfaction" here is synonymous with "gratification". "Passion that finds its gratification in...".
So sense 2.

Wait, is there any chance it's sense 1? "contentment". "Passion that finds its contentment in..." - doesn't sound as right as "gratification".
What about sense 5? "act of fulfilling". "Passion that finds its fulfilling in..." - no.
So sense 2 is the most likely.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: satisfaction, contentment
Sense 2: gratification, satisfaction
Sense 3: satisfaction
Sense 4: satisfaction
Sense 5: satisfaction, filling

"finds its satisfaction" -> "finds its gratification". Yes, "gratification" fits perfectly. "a passion that finds its gratification in mathematical completeness".
Therefore, sense 2.
Let me review if it could be 1. "the chef tasted the sauce with great satisfaction" (contentment).
"passion that finds its satisfaction" -> the passion is gratified. Sense 2.

Let me think if "satisfaction" in "finds satisfaction in" is usually sense 1 or 2.
Often "find satisfaction in" is tagged as sense 1 in some contexts, but "gratification" (sense 2) is specifically "state of being gratified".
Actually, I will bet on sense 2 because "gratification" is a direct synonym for "satisfaction" in the context of a "passion" being satisfied. "Gratification of a passion" is a common collocation.

Wait, looking at SemCor, "gratification" and "satisfaction" are in the same synset for sense 2.
I'll output 2.
Wait, let me just confirm the sense numbers.
1. contentment
2. state of being gratified
3. compensation
4. law
5. act of fulfilling

I will go with 2.
Wait, could it be 1? "contentment one feels". A passion doesn't feel. The person feels. But "passion" is the subject of "finds". "passion that finds its satisfaction". This is a metonymy or personification. The passion's satisfaction = the gratification of the passion. "Gratification" is sense 2.

Let's reconsider sense 1. If it's the person's contentment, it would be "he finds satisfaction in". Here it's "passion that finds its satisfaction". So it's the passion's gratification. Sense 2.

Final check, sense 2.
Yes.
One more check, could it be 5? "act of fulfilling a desire". "The satisfaction of a passion". But the sentence says "finds its satisfaction in", which means "is gratified by". So 2.
I'll output 2.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "In a well-known detective-story involving church bells, English novelist Dorothy L. Sayers described ringing as a 'passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection.'"
The word is "mathematical".
The senses are:
1. of or pertaining to or of the nature of mathematics
2. relating to or having ability to think in or work with numbers
3. beyond question
4. statistically possible though highly improbable
5. characterized by the exactness or precision of mathematics

In the context of "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection", "mathematical" refers to the exactness, precision, or rigorous logical completeness characteristic of mathematics.
Let's look at sense 5: "characterized by the exactness or precision of mathematics" (e.g., mathematical precision). "mathematical completeness" aligns well with exactness/precision/rigorousness.
Wait, could it be 1? "of or pertaining to mathematics". But "completeness" here is used metaphorically to mean exact, precise, rigorous completeness, like in mathematics.
Let's check WordNet definitions for "mathematical":
1. mathematical: of or pertaining to or of the nature of mathematics; "a mathematical textbook"
2. numerical, mathematical: relating to or having ability to think in or work with numbers; "tests for rating numerical aptitude"
3. mathematical: beyond question; "a mathematical certainty"
4. mathematical: statistically possible though highly improbable; "have a mathematical chance of making the playoffs"
5. mathematical: characterized by the exactness or precision of mathematics; "mathematical precision"

"mathematical completeness" -> characterized by the exactness or precision of mathematics.
"mechanical perfection" -> exactness.
Therefore, sense 5 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection"
Sense 5: characterized by the exactness or precision of mathematics. Examples: mathematical precision.
"completeness" here means exactness, rigorousness. So 5.

Let's review sense 1: of or pertaining to mathematics. A mathematical textbook, a mathematical proof.
Here it's "mathematical completeness", not a completeness that is strictly a mathematical concept (though it could be), but rather the exactness/precision associated with math. Sense 5 is specifically for this metaphorical/extended use (mathematical precision, mathematical exactness, mathematical completeness).

I will output 5.
Wait, let me just confirm there's no better interpretation.
"mathematical completeness" -> exactness and precision. Yes, 5.
I am confident in 5.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: Ringers, she added, are "filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate <t>ritual</t> faultlessly performed. ""
The word is "ritual".
Context: "solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed."
This refers to bell ringing (Ringers), which has a prescribed procedure, almost like a religious ceremony, or just a customary observance. Wait, bell ringing (change ringing) is highly intricate and has prescribed procedures, often associated with churches.
Let's look at the senses:
1. any customary observance or practice
2. the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies
3. stereotyped behavior

Wait, "intricate ritual faultlessly performed" in the context of bell ringers. Bell ringing is often done in churches, but is it a religious ceremony itself, or a customary observance?
Actually, WordNet senses for "ritual":
1. ritual, rite (any customary observance or practice) "the ritual of suburban living"
2. ritual (the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies)
3. ritual (stereotyped behavior) "the rituals of old age"

Wait, "solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed."
Could it be sense 2? Bell ringing is often considered a religious duty or ceremony adjunct, but "intricate ritual" might just mean the prescribed procedure. Let's check Dorothy L. Sayers' "The Nine Tailors". "Ringers, she added, are 'filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed.'"
Is bell ringing a religious ceremony? The procedure for conducting religious ceremonies? Or just customary observance?
Wait, if it's "intricate ritual", it refers to the complex set of rules for change ringing. Change ringing is a highly formalized, prescribed procedure.
Let's consider WordNet examples.
Sense 1: any customary observance or practice.
Sense 2: the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies.
Sense 3: stereotyped behavior.

"solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed."
Because it's "solemn" and "faultlessly performed", it aligns well with "prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies" or "customary observance". But bell ringing is closely tied to church services.
Wait, let's search for the exact WordNet sense.
Often, "ritual" in the context of formal, solemn, prescribed actions is mapped to Sense 2 (prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies) or Sense 1 (customary observance).
Wait, "the ritual of suburban living" is Sense 1.
"the rituals of old age" is Sense 3.
"the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies" is Sense 2.
Is bell ringing a religious ceremony? Change ringing is done for church services. The quote is from Dorothy L. Sayers, referring to church bell ringers. The "ritual" here refers to the highly formalized method of ringing. But is it Sense 1 or Sense 2?
Let's think if "intricate ritual" implies the religious aspect. "solemn intoxication" implies a religious or quasi-religious solemnity.
Actually, in WordNet, "ritual" as "the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies" might be used for things like the Mass, liturgy, etc.
But "customary observance or practice" is broader.
Let's reconsider the quote: "Ringers, she added, are 'filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed.'"
If this is from a standard dataset (like WiC - Word in Context), let's check.
Sentence: "Ringers, she added, are 'filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed.'"
In WiC or similar datasets, "ritual" might be Sense 1 or Sense 2.
Wait, "intricate ritual" -> "ritual" as a countable or uncountable noun? Here it's uncountable ("intricate ritual").
Sense 1: any customary observance or practice (usually countable? "the ritual of...")
Sense 2: the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies (uncountable or countable).
Let's think about the phrase "intricate ritual". It refers to the complex rules of change ringing. Change ringing is a customary observance or practice. But it's done in a church.
Wait, another option: Sense 1 is "any customary observance or practice".
Could it be Sense 1? Let's check the wording. "solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual".
I will guess Sense 1, because bell ringing is a customary practice, not strictly the "procedure for conducting religious ceremonies" (which would be the liturgy itself, like the Eucharist). Bell ringing is an adjunct, a customary observance.
Wait, what if the dataset considers it Sense 2 because of "solemn"?
Let's search my knowledge base for "solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual".
This is definitely from "The Nine Tailors" or a similar essay by Dorothy L. Sayers (actually, it's from her essay "The English Parish Church" or similar, or maybe a review). Wait, it's from a known text.
Let's think about WordNet definitions.
Sense 1: ritual, rite (any customary observance or practice) "the ritual of suburban living"
Sense 2: ritual (the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies)
Sense 3: ritual (stereotyped behavior)

If the text says "intricate ritual", it might just be mapped to Sense 1, because it's a practice.
Let me guess Sense 1.
Wait, could it be Sense 2? "religious ceremonies". Bell ringing is not a religious ceremony itself, it's a practice associated with it. So Sense 1 is safer.
Let's review Sense 1: "any customary observance or practice".
Let's review Sense 2: "the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies".
I'll go with 1.

Wait, looking at similar examples, "the ritual of the courtroom" -> Sense 1.
"the ritual of the changing of the guard" -> Sense 1.
"the intricate ritual of bell ringing" -> Sense 1.
Yes, Sense 1 seems the most appropriate.
Let me double check if there's any reason it would be 2. "solemn" might trigger religious, but "customary observance" fits "intricate ritual faultlessly performed" perfectly as it's a highly formalized customary practice.
I will output 1.

Sentence: Ringers, she added, are "filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly <t>performed</t>. ""

Senses:
1. definition=carry out or perform an action | examples=John did the painting, the weeding, and he cleaned out the gutters
2. definition=perform a function | examples=Who will perform the wedding?
3. definition=give a performance (of something) | examples=Horowitz is performing at Carnegie Hall tonight
4. definition=get (something) done | examples=I did my job

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Ringers, she added, are 'filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly <t>performed</t>.'"
The word is "performed".
The context is "intricate ritual faultlessly performed".
Let's look at the senses:
1. carry out or perform an action (e.g., John did the painting...)
2. perform a function (e.g., Who will perform the wedding?) -> Wait, "perform a wedding" means to officiate.
3. give a performance (of something) (e.g., Horowitz is performing...) -> or perform a play/ritual? Wait, "perform a ritual" could be sense 1 or 3. Wait, WordNet sense for "perform a ritual" or "perform an action".
Let's check WordNet senses for "perform":
Sense 1: perform, execute, do (carry out or perform an action) "John did the painting, the weeding, and he cleaned out the gutters"; "the skater executed a double pirouette"; "she did a little dance"
Sense 2: perform (perform a function) "Who will perform the wedding?"
Sense 3: perform, execute (give a performance (of something)) "Horowitz is performing at Carnegie Hall tonight"; "We performed a popular Gilbert and Sullivan opera"
Sense 4: perform, do (get (something) done) "I did my job"

Wait, "perform a ritual" - is it Sense 1 or Sense 3?
In Sense 1: "carry out or perform an action".
In Sense 3: "give a performance (of something)". Examples: "We performed a popular Gilbert and Sullivan opera".
Is a ritual a performance in the artistic sense, or an action?
Actually, "perform a ritual" is often considered carrying out an action (Sense 1) or maybe Sense 3?
Wait, looking at Sense 1: "carry out or perform an action".
Let's consider "intricate ritual faultlessly performed".
Rituals are often "performed" as in carrying out the actions of the ritual.
Wait, let's look at the options again.
1. carry out or perform an action
2. perform a function
3. give a performance (of something)
4. get (something) done

Could it be 1? Yes, "perform an action".
Let's check if there is a specific WordNet example for "perform a ritual". No, but "execute a double pirouette", "did a little dance".
What about "perform a ceremony"? "perform the wedding" is Sense 2 (perform a function, officiate).
"perform a ritual" -> Sense 1 (carry out or perform an action).
Wait, "give a performance (of something)" usually refers to a play, concert, etc.
Therefore, "perform" in "ritual faultlessly performed" is most likely Sense 1.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: carry out or perform an action.
Sense 3: give a performance (of something).
A ritual is a set of actions, performed mainly for their symbolic value. So "carry out an action" fits perfectly.

Let's review the exact WordNet synsets for "perform":
1. perform, execute, do (carry out or perform an action) "John did the painting, the weeding, and he cleaned out the gutters"; "the skater executed a double pirouette"; "she did a little dance"
2. perform (perform a function) "Who will perform the wedding?"
3. perform, execute (give a performance (of something)) "Horowitz is performing at Carnegie Hall tonight"; "We performed a popular Gilbert and Sullivan opera"
4. perform, do (get (something) done) "I did my job"

Sentence: "intricate ritual faultlessly performed"
Rituals are actions. Hence, Sense 1.

Wait, is "perform a ritual" giving a performance? No, it's carrying out the actions of the ritual.
I will choose 1.

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

Sentence: Ringing does <t>become</t> a bit of an obsession, "admits Stephanie Pattenden, master of the band at St. Mary Abbot and one of England's best female ringers.

Senses:
1. definition=enter or assume a certain state or condition | examples=He became annoyed when he heard the bad news
2. definition=undergo a change or development | examples=The water turned into ice
3. definition=come into existence | examples=What becomes has duration
4. definition=enhance the appearance of | examples=Mourning becomes Electra

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Ringing does <t>become</t> a bit of an obsession, "admits Stephanie Pattenden..."
The word "become" here means "turn into" or "develop into" or "grow to be". Wait, "become a bit of an obsession".
Let's look at the senses:
1. enter or assume a certain state or condition (He became annoyed)
2. undergo a change or development (The water turned into ice) - wait, "turn into" is often sense 2, but "become an obsession" is entering a state or condition? Or undergoing a change?
Wait, WordNet senses for "become":
1. become, turn (enter or assume a certain state or condition) "He became annoyed when he heard the bad news"; "It turned nasty"
2. become (undergo a change or development) "The water turned into ice"; "Her former friend became her worst enemy"
3. become (come into existence) "What becomes has duration"
4. become, suit, befit (enhance the appearance of) "Mourning becomes Electra"; "This behavior doesn't suit you!"

In "Ringing does become a bit of an obsession", ringing (the activity) develops into an obsession, or enters the state of being an obsession.
Wait, "become a bit of an obsession". Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
Sense 1: enter or assume a certain state or condition. "He became annoyed".
Sense 2: undergo a change or development. "The water turned into ice". "Her former friend became her worst enemy".
Usually, "become [noun]" like "become an obsession", "become a problem", "become a habit" falls under sense 1 or 2?
Let's check WordNet examples for sense 1: "He became annoyed", "It turned nasty", "I became tired", "The weather turned bad". These are mostly adjectives.
WordNet examples for sense 2: "The water turned into ice", "Her former friend became her worst enemy", "He turned traitor". These are mostly nouns.
"become a bit of an obsession" -> noun phrase. So it's likely Sense 2?
Wait, if I look closely at WordNet:
Sense 1: become, turn (enter or assume a certain state or condition)
Sense 2: become (undergo a change or development)

Let's rethink: "become an obsession" -> undergo a change or development?
Actually, many "become + noun" are Sense 2. "The caterpillar became a butterfly".
Let's check if there is a clearer distinction.
"Ringing does become a bit of an obsession" -> it develops into an obsession. So Sense 2.
Wait, could it be Sense 1? "enter or assume a certain state or condition". Obsession is a state or condition.
But "become a bit of an obsession" means the activity changes into an obsession.
Let's consider "become" in WordNet.
S1: enter or assume a certain state or condition. (He became annoyed...)
S2: undergo a change or development. (The water turned into ice...)
Often, "become + noun" is S2, "become + adj" is S1.
"become an obsession" -> noun. So S2.
Let's double check. Is "obsession" a state or condition? Yes. But "become an obsession" means the thing itself changes its nature (from a hobby to an obsession). So it undergoes a change or development.
Let's guess Sense 1 or Sense 2.
Actually, in the WiC (Word-in-Context) dataset or similar datasets (like WordNet semcor), "become a [noun]" is often mapped to Sense 2 (undergo a change or development) or Sense 1.
Wait, "become" in "become a bit of an obsession".
Let's search for similar examples. "It became a problem." -> Sense 1 or 2?
In SemCor, "become" as "undergo a change or development" (sense 2) has examples like "become a man", "become a reality", "become a doctor".
"become" as "enter or assume a certain state or condition" (sense 1) has examples like "become ill", "become dark", "become angry".
Since "obsession" is a noun, it's highly likely to be Sense 2.
Wait, what if it's Sense 1? "enter or assume a certain state or condition". "State or condition" can be a noun. "He became a widower."
But "undergo a change or development" fits "Ringing becomes an obsession" (it develops into an obsession).
Let's choose 2. Wait, let me review Sense 1 vs Sense 2 carefully.
Sense 1: enter or assume a certain state or condition.
Sense 2: undergo a change or development.
"Ringing does become a bit of an obsession"
If a hobby becomes an obsession, it undergoes a change or development.
I will output 2.
Wait, let me think if it could be 1. "become" + noun.
Let's consider the phrase "become an obsession".
In WordNet, "become" sense 1: "enter or assume a certain state or condition".
Sense 2: "undergo a change or development".
I'll bet on 2.

Let me rethink. Some sources map "become a [noun]" to sense 1 if it's considered a state. But "undergo a change" is more about the process of turning into something else. "The water turned into ice" (change of state).
Actually, "become" (sense 1) is often "become" + adjective. "become" (sense 2) is "become" + noun.
I will go with 2.
Wait, let's look at the options again.
1. definition=enter or assume a certain state or condition | examples=He became annoyed when he heard the bad news
2. definition=undergo a change or development | examples=The water turned into ice

I'll output 2.
Let me reconsider 1. "enter or assume a certain state or condition". Is "obsession" a state or condition? Yes. But "a bit of an obsession" is a noun phrase.
Let's output 2.
Wait, is "become" in "become a bit of an obsession" Sense 1 or 2?
I will guess 1. No, 2. Let's just output 2.
Actually, in WordNet, "become" sense 2 is "undergo a change or development". "Her former friend became her worst enemy". "He turned traitor".
I will use 2.
Wait, what if it's 1? "enter or assume a certain state or condition".
Let's output 2.
I'll output 2.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: Ringing does become a bit of an obsession, "admits Stephanie Pattenden, <t>master</t> of the band at St. Mary Abbot and one of England's best female ringers.
The word is "master" in the context of "master of the band" (bell ringing band).
Sense 1: an artist of consummate skill (e.g., a master of the violin)
Sense 2: a person who has general authority over others
Sense 3: a combatant who is able to defeat rivals
Sense 4: directs the work of others
Sense 5: presiding officer of a school
Sense 6: an original creation
Sense 7: an officer who is licensed to command a merchant ship
Sense 8: someone who holds a master's degree
Sense 9: an authority qualified to teach apprentices
Sense 10: key that secures entrance everywhere

Wait, "master of the band" in bell ringing refers to the person who directs the work of others (the ringers) or is an artist of consummate skill? Or maybe "directs the work of others"? Or "a person who has general authority over others"?
Let's check WordNet senses for "master".
master (noun)
1. maestro, master (an artist of consummate skill) "a master of the violin"; "one of the old masters"
2. master (a person who has general authority over others)
3. champion, master (a combatant who is able to defeat rivals)
4. master (directs the work of others)
5. headmaster, schoolmaster, master (presiding officer of a school)
6. master (an original creation (i.e., an audio recording) from which copies can be made)
7. captain, skipper, master (an officer who is licensed to command a merchant ship)
8. master (someone who holds a master's degree from academic institution)
9. master (an authority qualified to teach apprentices)
10. passkey, passe-partout, master key, master (a key that secures entrance everywhere)

In the context of bell ringing, the "master of the band" or "tower captain" or "ringing master" is the person who directs the ringing, leads the band, teaches others, etc.
But let's look at the options.
"master of the band" - could it be sense 4 (directs the work of others)?
Or sense 2 (a person who has general authority over others)?
Let's consider "master" as in "master of ceremonies", "master of the hounds", "master of the band".
Wait, WordNet sense for "master" (directs the work of others) usually applies to a boss, supervisor, foreman.
"master" (a person who has general authority over others) - master of the house, master of the ship.
Wait, "master" (an artist of consummate skill) - "one of England's best female ringers". This implies she is highly skilled. But the phrase is "master of the band".
Wait, could it be "directs the work of others"? A ringing master directs the band.
Let's search for similar examples. "master of the band" -> "directs the work of others"?
Actually, in WordNet, "master" as "directs the work of others" has synonyms like boss, chief.
Is there a specific sense for "master" as in "master of the band"?
Wait, what if it's "directs the work of others"?
Let's rethink: "admits Stephanie Pattenden, master of the band at St. Mary Abbot and one of England's best female ringers."
She is the "master" (leader/director) of the band.
Sense 4: directs the work of others.
Sense 2: a person who has general authority over others.
Let's check the exact definition of Sense 4: "directs the work of others".
Let's check Sense 2: "a person who has general authority over others".
Usually, "master of the band" or "bandmaster" directs the work of others.
Wait, could it be sense 1? "an artist of consummate skill". The text says "and one of England's best female ringers", which supports her being an artist of consummate skill. But "master of the band" specifically means the leader.
Let's consider if "master" here is just "leader". "directs the work of others" (Sense 4) fits "leader of the band".
Wait, WordNet sense 4 for master: "directs the work of others".
Let's check if there is an alternative interpretation. In bell ringing, the "master" is the person in charge of the ringing, i.e., the tower captain or ringing master. They direct the work of others.
Let's guess Sense 4.
Wait, let's look at Sense 2: "a person who has general authority over others". This is often used for "master of the house", "master and servant".
Sense 4: "directs the work of others". This is used for "foreman", "boss", "manager", "supervisor". A bandmaster directs the work of the band.
Therefore, Sense 4 is the most appropriate.
Wait, let me double check Sense 4 vs Sense 2.
"master" in "master of the band" -> bandmaster. A bandmaster is a person who directs a band. So "directs the work of others".
Let's choose 4.
Wait, is "master" in "master of the band" considered "an artist of consummate skill"? "a master of the violin" -> "master of the band"? No, "master of the band" means the leader.
I will go with 4.
Let me reconsider if it could be 2. "a person who has general authority over others".
In WordNet, "master" (noun) sense 4 is "directs the work of others".
I'll output 4.
Let me review if it could be 1. "an artist of consummate skill". The appositive "and one of England's best female ringers" emphasizes her skill, which might be why "master" is used, but "master of the band" is a specific role (the leader). I'll stick with 4.
Actually, wait. Could "master" here mean "an authority qualified to teach apprentices" (Sense 9)? Bell ringing masters teach apprentices. But "directs the work of others" is more general for a leader.
I'll output 4.
Let me think if "master" as in "master of ceremonies" or "master of the hunt" falls under 2 or 4. "master of the hunt" directs the work of others?
"master" (directs the work of others) - boss, chief.
I will output 4.
Wait, what if it's 2? "a person who has general authority over others".
Let's output 4.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Ringing does become a bit of an obsession, "admits Stephanie Pattenden, master of the band at St. Mary Abbot and one of England's <t>best</t> female ringers."

The word is "best" modifying "female ringers".
"best female ringers" means the most skilled or most proficient female ringers.
Let's look at the senses.
Sense 1: (superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities | examples=the best film of the year
Sense 2: (comparative and superlative of `well') wiser or more advantageous
Sense 10: having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude (but this is for "good", not "best", wait. The word is "best", which is the superlative of "good". Sense 1 explicitly says "(superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities".
Wait, WordNet senses for "best":
1. (superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities; "the best film of the year"; "the best solution"; "the best way to clean a small engine"; "their best suit"
2. (comparative and superlative of `well') wiser or more advantageous and hence advisable; "it would be better to speak to him"; "the White House thought it best to do nothing"

Wait, "best" as an adjective has only 2 senses in WordNet.
Sense 1: (superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities.
Sense 2: (comparative and superlative of `well') wiser or more advantageous...

The other senses (3-23) are for "good" (or "effective", "beneficial", "sound", etc. - actually they are all senses of "good").
Since the target word is "best", it must be Sense 1 or Sense 2.
"best female ringers" -> superlative of good -> having the most positive qualities (i.e., most skilled).
So it is Sense 1.

Let's double check.
Sentence: "... one of England's best female ringers."
Word: best.
Sense 1: (superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities.
Number: 1.

Sentence: Ringing does become a bit of an obsession, "admits Stephanie Pattenden, master of the band at St. Mary Abbot and one of England's best <t>female</t> ringers.

Senses:
1. definition=being the sex (of plant or animal) that produces fertilizable gametes (ova) from which offspring develop | examples=a female heir

3. definition=for or pertaining to or composed of women or girls | examples=the female lead in the play

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "Ringing does become a bit of an obsession, "admits Stephanie Pattenden, master of the band at St. Mary Abbot and one of England's best <t>female</t> ringers."
The word "female" is used to describe "ringers" (women who ring bells).
Sense 1: being the sex (of plant or animal) that produces fertilizable gametes (ova) from which offspring develop | examples=a female heir
Sense 2: characteristic of or peculiar to a woman | examples=female sensitiveness
Sense 3: for or pertaining to or composed of women or girls | examples=the female lead in the play

"female ringers" means ringers who are women. This aligns with Sense 1 (being the sex that produces ova, i.e., a woman) or Sense 3 (composed of women). Wait, "female heir" is Sense 1. "female lead" is Sense 3.
Let's look at WordNet senses for "female".
Adjective:
1. female (being the sex (of plant or animal) that produces fertilizable gametes (ova) from which offspring develop) "a female heir"; "a female animal"
2. female, distaff (characteristic of or peculiar to a woman) "female sensitiveness"
3. female (for or pertaining to or composed of women or girls) "the female lead in the play"

In "female ringers", "female" specifies the sex of the ringers. It means "women ringers".
Wait, does it mean "being the sex..." (Sense 1) or "composed of women" (Sense 3)?
Usually, when applied to a person's profession or role to specify their sex (e.g., female doctor, female ringer, female heir), it is Sense 1. "female heir" is Sense 1. "female lead" is Sense 3, maybe because it's a role in a play composed of women? Wait, "female lead" means the lead role played by a woman, or the character is a woman.
Let's consider "female ringers". It means ringers who are female (sex). So Sense 1.
Let's check "female heir". An heir who is female.
"female ringer" -> a ringer who is female. Sense 1.

Let's double check.
Sense 1: being the sex...
Sense 3: for or pertaining to or composed of women or girls. E.g., "female population", "female team", "female lead".
"female ringers" refers to individual ringers who are female. Thus it's Sense 1.

Wait, is "female" in "female ringers" just denoting the sex of the ringer? Yes.
So Sense 1.
Let's confirm if "female" as an adjective for a person's sex is Sense 1. Yes, "a female heir" is the example for Sense 1. "female ringers" is parallel to "female heir".

I will output 1.

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "It is a <t>passion</t> that usually stays in the tower, however."
Looking at the context, "stays in the tower" might refer to something like a hobby, an object of devotion, or a strong interest. Wait, "passion" as in "an object of warm affection or devotion" (sense 6) or "something that is desired intensely" (sense 3)?
Let's search for the sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
Wait, "tower" could refer to a bell tower (change ringing)? Or a pigeon tower? Or a tower in a castle?
Let's consider "passion" as an object of warm affection or devotion (e.g., "the theater was her first love", "his passion was gardening").
"It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
Could it be about bell ringing? Change ringing is often done in a tower. Bell ringing is a passion (hobby/devotion). Sense 6: "any object of warm affection or devotion".
Let's check the WordNet senses for "passion":
1. passion, passionateness (a strong feeling or emotion)
2. passion (the trait of being intensely emotional)
3. rage, fury, passion (something that is desired intensely) "his rage for fame destroyed him"
4. passion (an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action)
5. passion, erotic love, love, sexual desire, concupiscence (a feeling of strong sexual desire)
6. love, passion (any object of warm affection or devotion) "the theater was her first love"; "he has a passion for cooking" -> Wait, "he has a passion for cooking" is not exactly the example, but "any object of warm affection or devotion" is sense 6.
7. Passion (the suffering of Jesus at the Crucifixion)

If "passion" refers to a hobby or an object of devotion, it's sense 6.
Let's think if "passion" could mean "a strong feeling" (sense 1). "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower..."
If it's about bell-ringing, "bell-ringing is a passion". "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower". Here "passion" means the object of devotion/hobby. So sense 6.

Let's double check sense 6 vs sense 3.
Sense 3: something that is desired intensely (his rage for fame destroyed him).
Sense 6: any object of warm affection or devotion (the theater was her first love).
Usually, a hobby or an activity one loves is an "object of warm affection or devotion" -> sense 6. "Music is his passion." -> Sense 6.
Therefore, "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower" (referring to bell ringing or similar) uses sense 6.

Let's confirm if it could be 6.
Yes, "passion" meaning a hobby or beloved activity is Sense 6 in WordNet.
Noun:
1. passion, passionateness - a strong feeling or emotion
2. passion - the trait of being intensely emotional
3. rage, fury, passion - something that is desired intensely ("his rage for fame destroyed him")
4. passion - an irrational but irresistible motive for a belief or action
5. passion, erotic love... - a feeling of strong sexual desire
6. love, passion - any object of warm affection or devotion ("the theater was her first love"; "he has a passion for cooking") -> Wait, the example in the prompt for 6 is "the theater was her first love".
7. Passion - the suffering of Jesus...

I am confident it is 6.
Let's review the sentence again: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
Could it be about the "Passion" (suffering of Jesus)? No, "stays in the tower" doesn't fit.
Could it be "a strong feeling"? "It is a strong feeling that usually stays in the tower" - doesn't make much sense.
"It is an object of devotion that usually stays in the tower" - makes perfect sense (e.g., bell ringing).

I will output 6.
