One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women. They are not accepted everywhere, however. The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "surfaced" in the context: "This being Britain, no woman has filed an equal-opportunity suit, but the extent of the problem surfaced this summer in a series of letters to 'The Ringing World,' a weekly newspaper for ringers."
The meaning here is that the extent of the problem became visible, appeared, or was revealed.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. come to the surface (come up, rise up, rise) - usually physical or metaphorical rising to the surface.
2. put a coat on; cover the surface of; furnish with a surface (coat) - physical coating.
3. appear or become visible; make a showing (come on, come out, turn up, show up) - examples: "She turned up at the funeral; I hope the list key is going to surface again".

In the context, "the extent of the problem surfaced" means it appeared or became visible. Sense 3 fits perfectly.
Let's double check. "appear or become visible; make a showing" -> "the extent of the problem surfaced".
Yes, sense 3 is the best fit.
Sense 1 is more about coming to the surface (like a submarine or a feeling coming to the surface, but "appear or become visible" is a better match for "surfaced in a series of letters").
Wait, "come to the surface" vs "appear or become visible".
"the extent of the problem surfaced this summer in a series of letters" -> it became visible / appeared.
Sense 3: "appear or become visible; make a showing"
I will choose 3.

The writer is someone who wrote a letter to "The Ringing World", a weekly newspaper.
Sense 1: writes (books or stories or articles or the like) professionally (for pay) | synonyms=author
Sense 2: a person who is able to write and has written something

Wait, is a letter writer a professional writer?
"writes (books or stories or articles or the like) professionally (for pay)"
"a person who is able to write and has written something"

Let's look at the context: "One writer, signing his letter as 'Red-blooded, balanced male,' remarked..."
This person wrote a letter to the editor. They are not necessarily a professional writer. They are just a person who has written something (a letter).
Wait, "writer" in the context of a newspaper could be a letter writer.
Let's check WordNet senses for "writer".
writer%1:18:00:: writes (books or stories or articles or the like) professionally (for pay)
writer%1:18:01:: a person who is able to write and has written something

Is a letter writer considered a professional writer? No.
So sense 2 is more appropriate: "a person who is able to write and has written something".
Let's double check. "One writer, signing his letter..."
Yes, this is just someone who wrote a letter.
Therefore, sense 2.
Let's review the definition of sense 2: "a person who is able to write and has written something".
This perfectly matches someone who wrote a letter to the editor.
Sense 1 is for professional writers (authors).
I will choose sense 2.

In the context, the writer "remarked on" the frequency of women fainting. This means he made a comment on it.
Sense 1: make mention of (note, observe, mention)
Sense 2: make or write a comment on (comment, notice, point out)

"remarked on" is very close to "commented on".
Let's check the examples.
Sense 1: She observed that...
Sense 2: he commented the paper of his colleague.

Wait, "remark on" is a phrasal verb meaning to comment on.
"remarked on the frequency" -> made a comment on the frequency.
Sense 2: make or write a comment on.
Let's see: "remark on" is often synonymous with "comment on".
Sense 2 definition: "make or write a comment on".
Synonyms: comment, notice, point out.
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"remarked on" -> "commented on".
Sense 2 is "make or write a comment on".
Let's look at the synonyms for sense 2: comment, notice, point out.
Wait, "remark" as in "remark on" is sense 2.
Let's check WordNet for "remark".
remark v.
1. make mention of (note, observe, mention)
2. make or write a comment on (comment, notice, point out)

"remarked on" -> "commented on".
Therefore, sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"remarked on the frequency" -> made a comment on the frequency.
Yes, sense 2.
"remark on" is specifically sense 2 in WordNet.
"remark" (verb)
1. make mention of
2. make or write a comment on

I will choose 2.

The phrase "frequency of women fainting in peals" refers to how often women faint in peals, i.e., the number of occurrences within a given time period or the rate of occurrence.
Sense 1: the number of occurrences within a given time period (synonyms: frequence, oftenness).
Sense 2: the ratio of the number of observations in a statistical category to the total number of observations (relative frequency).
Sense 3: the number of observations in a given statistical category (absolute frequency).

The context is talking about how often women faint, which aligns with "oftenness" or "the number of occurrences within a given time period".
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Sense 1: "the frequency of his seizures increased as he grew older" -> similar to "frequency of women fainting".

The target word is "women" in the context: "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women."
The context talks about women as a class or adult female persons.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. an adult female person (as opposed to a man)
2. a female person who plays a significant role in the life of a particular man
3. a human female employed to do housework
4. women as a class

Wait, "a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women."
Is it "women as a class" or "an adult female person"?
"more than a third of the ringers today are women." -> adult female persons.
"women have entered" -> adult female persons.
Let's check sense 1: "an adult female person (as opposed to a man)".
Let's check sense 4: "women as a class".
The text says "a growing number of women have entered... more than a third of the ringers today are women." This refers to individual adult female persons, not the class as a whole (though it could be argued, but "a growing number of women" points to individuals).
Wait, "women" in "more than a third of the ringers today are women" is plural of woman (adult female person).
Sense 1 is "an adult female person (as opposed to a man)".
Let's see: "a growing number of women" -> plural of adult female person.
Sense 4 is "women as a class" (womanhood, fair sex). Example: "it's an insult to American womanhood".
Here, "women" is just the plural of woman (adult female person).
So sense 1 is the best fit.

Yes, sense 1.
Context: "more than a third of the ringers today are women."

Sense 1: the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group (function, office, part).
Sense 4: normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting (what is your role on the team?).
"traditional role of making tea at meetings" fits "normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting" (Sense 4) perfectly.
Let's double check Sense 1 vs Sense 4.
Sense 1: "the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group"
Sense 4: "normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting"
"traditional role" strongly aligns with "normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting".
Let's look at the synonyms and examples.
Sense 4: "what is your role on the team?"
"traditional role of making tea at meetings" -> customary activity in a social setting.
I will choose Sense 4.
Wait, let's re-read Sense 1: "the actions and activities assigned to or required or expected of a person or group".
Sense 4: "normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting".
"traditional role" is a classic example of a customary activity in a social setting.
I'll go with 4.
Let's review the exact text: "settle back into their traditional role of making tea at meetings."
This is a social setting (meetings), and making tea is a customary activity.
Sense 4 is the best fit.
Another option: Sense 1. But Sense 4 specifically mentions "customary activity" and "social setting", which perfectly matches "traditional role" and "at meetings".
I will output 4.

The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "meetings" in the context of bell-ringing groups.
The sentence is: "suggested that they 'settle back into their traditional role of making tea at meetings.'"
The context talks about bell-ringing groups, specifically the Ancient Society of College Youths, and a weekly newspaper for ringers.
The word "meetings" here refers to the gatherings of the bell-ringing group.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. a formally arranged gathering (group meeting)
2. a small informal social gathering (get together)
3. a casual or unexpected convergence (encounter)
4. the social act of assembling for some common purpose (coming together)
5. the act of joining together as one (merging, coming together)
6. a place where things merge or flow together (confluence)

Bell-ringing groups have formal or semi-formal gatherings, often called "meetings". The context mentions "making tea at meetings", which implies a gathering of the group.
Is it sense 1 (formally arranged gathering) or sense 2 (small informal social gathering) or sense 4 (social act of assembling)?
"making tea at meetings" - a meeting of a society or group.
Sense 1: "a formally arranged gathering" - examples: "next year the meeting will be in Chicago; the meeting elected a chairperson". This fits a society's meeting.
Sense 2: "a small informal social gathering" - examples: "there was an informal meeting in my living room".
Sense 4: "the social act of assembling for some common purpose" - examples: "his meeting with the salesmen was the high point of his day".

Wait, "meetings" in the context of a society (like the Ancient Society of College Youths) are formally arranged gatherings of the members.
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "next year the meeting will be in Chicago; the meeting elected a chairperson". This aligns with a society's meeting.
Let's check sense 1 vs sense 4. Sense 1 is "a formally arranged gathering" (noun, event). Sense 4 is "the social act of assembling for some common purpose" (noun, act). "making tea at meetings" refers to the event/gathering itself, not the act of assembling.
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"making tea at meetings" -> at the gatherings of the bell-ringing group.
Sense 1: a formally arranged gathering.
Yes, "group meeting" is a synonym.
I will choose sense 1.
Context: "making tea at meetings"
Sense 1: a formally arranged gathering.
