Target lemma: sound
Target surface form: sounding
Context:
In the tower, five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells that first sounded here in 1614. But there is also a discordant, modern note in Aslacton, though it can not be heard by the church-goers enjoying the peal of bells this cool autumn evening. Like most of the other 6,000 churches in Britain with sets of bells, St. Michael once had its own "band "of ringers, who would herald every Sunday morning and evening service. Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond. The others here today live elsewhere. They belong to a group of 15 ringers -- including two octogenarians and four youngsters in training -- who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells <t>sounding</t> in the many belfries of East Anglia. "To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to scrape, "says Mr. Hammond, a retired water-authority worker. "

reasoning_content:
The target word is "sounding" (lemma: sound).
Context: "...keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia."
The bells are making a noise or sound.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. appear in a certain way (This sounds interesting)
2. make a certain noise or sound (She went 'Mmmmm'; The gun went 'bang')
3. give off a certain sound or sounds (This record sounds scratchy)
4. announce by means of a sound (sound the alarm)
5. utter with vibrating vocal chords (voice, vocalize)
6. cause to sound (sound the bell; sound a certain note)
7. measure the depth of (fathom)

Wait, "keep the bells sounding" -> the bells are giving off a certain sound or sounds.
Let's check sense 3: "give off a certain sound or sounds" -> "This record sounds scratchy".
Wait, sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound" -> "She went 'Mmmmm'; The gun went 'bang'".
Is it sense 3? "give off a certain sound or sounds".
Let's consider "sound" as an intransitive verb meaning "give off a certain sound or sounds".
"keep the bells sounding" -> the bells are sounding.
Sense 3: give off a certain sound or sounds.
Sense 2: make a certain noise or sound.
Let's look at WordNet for "sound" (verb).
sound.v.01: make a certain noise or sound (go)
sound.v.02: give off a certain sound or sounds
sound.v.03: announce by means of a sound
sound.v.04: cause to sound
sound.v.05: measure the depth of
sound.v.06: appear in a certain way
sound.v.07: utter with vibrating vocal chords

Wait, "give off a certain sound or sounds" is sound.v.02.
"make a certain noise or sound" is sound.v.01.
In the context, "keep the bells sounding" means the bells are giving off a sound.
Let's check the examples for sense 3: "This record sounds scratchy".
Wait, "sound" in "keep the bells sounding" means to emit sound.
Is it sense 3? "give off a certain sound or sounds".
Let's check sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound".
Actually, "sound" as in "the bells sound" -> give off a certain sound or sounds.
Let's look at the synonyms for sense 3: none listed, but "give off a certain sound or sounds".
Let's look at sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound", synonyms=go.
Sense 3 is "give off a certain sound or sounds".
"keep the bells sounding" -> the bells are giving off a sound.
I will choose sense 3.
Wait, let's re-read carefully: "keep the bells sounding".
Could it be sense 3? Yes, "give off a certain sound or sounds".
Let's check if there is a better fit.
"sound" (verb)
1. appear in a certain way
2. make a certain noise or sound
3. give off a certain sound or sounds
4. announce by means of a sound
5. utter with vibrating vocal chords
6. cause to sound
7. measure the depth of

"keep the bells sounding" -> the bells are giving off a sound.
Sense 3: give off a certain sound or sounds.
I'll go with 3.
Wait, let's consider "sound" as in "the bell sounds".
WordNet:
sound.v.02: give off a certain sound or sounds. "This record sounds scratchy"
sound.v.01: make a certain noise or sound. "She went `Mmmmm'; The gun went `bang'"
If the bells are sounding, they are giving off a sound.
I will choose 3.
Let's double check. "keep the bells sounding" -> the bells are the subject of "sounding". They give off a sound.
Sense 3 is the best fit.
Another option: sense 2. But sense 2 is more like "make a noise" (e.g., go bang).
Sense 3 is "give off a certain sound or sounds".
I'll output 3.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "even" in the context: "To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to scrape," says Mr. Hammond.
The meaning here is "used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected" or "to the full extent" or "in spite of".
Wait, "even one service" means "as few as one service" or "just one service".
Let's check the senses:
1. used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected (even an idiot knows that; declined even to consider the idea)
2. in spite of; notwithstanding (even when he is sick, he works)
3. to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons (looked sick and felt even worse)
4. to the full extent (loyal even unto death)

"To ring for even one service" -> "even" is used as an intensive to indicate something unexpected or minimal. "even one" = "as little as one".
Sense 1: "used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected" -> "even an idiot knows that", "declined even to consider the idea".
Wait, "even one" is a classic example of sense 1.
Let's double check.
"even one service" -> "even" modifies "one", emphasizing the smallness or unexpectedness of the quantity.
Sense 1 fits best.

Let's review the examples for sense 1: "even an idiot knows that", "declined even to consider the idea".
Is there a better fit?
Sense 1: used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected.
Yes, "even one" is an intensive indicating the unexpectedness of having to scrape for just one service.

Let's check sense 4: "to the full extent" -> "loyal even unto death". Not a fit.
Sense 2: "in spite of" -> "even when he is sick". Not a fit.
Sense 3: "to a greater degree" -> "even worse". Not a fit.

Therefore, sense 1 is the correct choice.
The target word is "even" in "even one service".
Sense 1 is the best match.

Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond. The others here today live elsewhere. They belong to a group of 15 ringers -- including two octogenarians and four youngsters in training -- who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia. "To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to scrape, "says Mr. Hammond, a retired water-authority worker. "We've <t>tried</t> to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "train" in the context: "We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away."
The context is about teaching or instructing youngsters to become ringers (to ring bells).
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. create by training and teaching (develop, prepare, educate) - "The old master is training world-class violinists"
2. undergo training or instruction (prepare) - "She is training to be a teacher"
3. develop (children's) behavior by instruction and practice; especially to teach self-control (discipline, check, condition)
4. educate for a future role or function (prepare, groom) - "He is grooming his son to become his successor"
5. teach or refine to be discriminative in taste or judgment
6. point or cause to go
7. teach and supervise (someone); act as a trainer or coach (to), as in sports
8. exercise in order to prepare for an event or competition
9. cause to grow in a certain way by tying and pruning it
10. travel by rail or train
11. drag loosely along a surface

Wait, "train the youngsters" in the context of teaching them to ring bells.
Sense 1: create by training and teaching. Synonyms: develop, prepare, educate. Example: The old master is training world-class violinists.
Sense 4: educate for a future role or function. Synonyms: prepare, groom. Example: He is grooming his son to become his successor.
Sense 7: teach and supervise (someone); act as a trainer or coach (to), as in sports.
Sense 1 seems very fitting: "create by training and teaching" -> "We've tried to train the youngsters" (to become ringers).
Let's re-read Sense 1: "create by training and teaching" -> synonyms: develop, prepare, educate. Example: "The old master is training world-class violinists". This matches "train the youngsters" to become ringers.
Wait, let's look at Sense 1 vs Sense 4.
Sense 1: create by training and teaching.
Sense 4: educate for a future role or function.
Is it Sense 1? "We've tried to train the youngsters" -> teach them how to ring bells.
Let's check the examples for Sense 1: "The old master is training world-class violinists". This is very similar to training youngsters to be ringers.
Let's check Sense 1 again. "create by training and teaching"
Wait, "train" as in "teach a skill".
Sense 1: create by training and teaching.
Let's see: "We've tried to train the youngsters" -> teach them the skill of bell ringing.
Sense 1 is "create by training and teaching".
Let's consider Sense 1.
Is there any other sense?
Sense 1: train%2:31:01::
Let's check the exact wording of Sense 1: "create by training and teaching".
Yes, "train the youngsters" means to teach them the skill.
I will choose Sense 1.
Wait, let's look at Sense 1 vs Sense 4.
Sense 4: educate for a future role or function. "grooming his son to become his successor".
Sense 1: "create by training and teaching". "training world-class violinists".
Training youngsters to ring bells is more like training violinists (teaching a skill) than grooming a successor (educating for a future role).
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's double check.
"We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away."
This is about teaching them the skill of bell ringing.
Sense 1: create by training and teaching.
I'll go with 1.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "discos" in the context: "We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away."
The context talks about young people having their "discos and their dances".
Sense 1: popular dance music (especially in the late 1970s); melodic with a regular bass beat; intended mainly for dancing at discotheques.
Sense 2: a public dance hall for dancing to recorded popular music.

"they have their discos and their dances"
"discos" here refers to the events or places where they dance, i.e., public dance halls or discotheques, or perhaps the events themselves.
Wait, "discos and their dances" - "discos" as in discotheques (public dance halls).
Let's check the examples for disco%1:06:00::.
"a public dance hall for dancing to recorded popular music"
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"they have their discos and their dances" -> discos as in places or events. "discotheque" is a public dance hall.
Sense 2 fits "discos" as places/events where they go to dance.
Let's consider "disco" as a dance event or place.
"they have their discos and their dances"
Sense 2: a public dance hall for dancing to recorded popular music.
Synonyms: discotheque.
Yes, "discos" refers to discotheques.
I will choose sense 2.
Wait, let's double check.
"they have their discos and their dances"
Could it be sense 1? "popular dance music". "they have their popular dance music and their dances"? No, "discos" as in places/events.
So sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=disco%1:10:00:: | definition=popular dance music...
2. sense_key=disco%1:06:00:: | definition=a public dance hall for dancing to recorded popular music

"discos" -> plural of disco, meaning discotheques.
I will output 2.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "dances" in the context: "We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away."
The context mentions "discos and their dances". This refers to social events or parties for dancing.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. dance%1:10:00:: - an artistic form of nonverbal communication
2. dance%1:14:00:: - a party of people assembled for dancing
3. dance%1:04:00:: - taking a series of rhythmical steps (and movements) in time to music
4. dance%1:11:00:: - a party for social dancing

"discos and their dances" - discos are parties for social dancing. "dances" here refers to social events/parties.
Sense 4: "a party for social dancing" fits perfectly with "discos and their dances".
Sense 2: "a party of people assembled for dancing" is also similar, but "a party for social dancing" (sense 4) is the standard WordNet sense for "dance" as an event (e.g., "we went to a dance"). Let's check WordNet.
WordNet 3.1:
dance.n.04: a party of people assembled for dancing
dance.n.05: a party for social dancing (Wait, let's check the exact definitions).
Actually, WordNet has:
dance.n.01: an artistic form of nonverbal communication
dance.n.02: a party of people assembled for dancing
dance.n.03: taking a series of rhythmical steps (and movements) in time to music
dance.n.04: a party for social dancing

Wait, the candidate senses are:

3. dance%1:04:00:: | definition=taking a series of rhythmical steps (and movements) in time to music | synonyms=dancing, terpsichore, saltation
4. dance%1:11:00:: | definition=a party for social dancing

Let's look at the context: "they have their discos and their dances". A disco is a party for social dancing. A dance is also a party for social dancing.
Sense 4 is "a party for social dancing".
Let's verify the sense keys.
dance%1:11:00:: is "a party for social dancing".
dance%1:14:00:: is "a party of people assembled for dancing".
In WordNet, "dance" as an event is often "a party for social dancing".
Let's choose 4.
Wait, let's re-read the context: "they have their discos and their dances".
Discos and dances are both events/parties.
Sense 4: "a party for social dancing".
I will output 4.
Let's double check if 4 is better than 2. "a party for social dancing" is the exact definition of dance.n.04 in some versions, or dance.n.05.
Actually, dance.n.04 is "a party for social dancing".
Yes, 4 is the best fit.
Context: "discos and their dances" -> social events.
Sense 4.

Sense 1 fits perfectly: "and nothing more", synonyms: merely, simply, only, but.
Let's double check. "they merely drift away" or "they simply drift away". Yes, sense 1.
Sense 4 is "absolutely" (e.g., I just can't take it anymore). "they absolutely drift away" doesn't fit as well as "they simply drift away".
Therefore, sense 1 is the best fit.

"they just drift away" -> they wander away from the group/training.
Sense 2: "wander from a direct course or at random" -> "stray, err".
Is there a better fit?
"drift away" can mean to gradually move away from a person, group, or activity.
Sense 2: "wander from a direct course or at random"
Let's check if there is a "drift away" sense.
Maybe sense 2 is the best. "don't drift from the set course" is an example.
"they just drift away" -> they stray from the training.
Let's consider sense 2.
Wait, could it be sense 2? Yes, "wander from a direct course or at random" fits "drift away" from the training.
Let's double check sense 2.
"stray, err"
"don't drift from the set course"
Yes, sense 2 is the best fit.
Let's review the context: "We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away."
They wander away from the training.
I will choose sense 2.
Wait, let's look at sense 2 again. "wander from a direct course or at random".
Is there any other sense?
Sense 3: "move about aimlessly or without any destination, often in search of food or employment". No.
Sense 5: "live unhurriedly, irresponsibly, or freely". No.
Sense 2 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm the index.
1. sense_key=drift%2:38:02::
2. sense_key=drift%2:38:04::
3. sense_key=drift%2:38:01::
4. sense_key=drift%2:42:03::

8. sense_key=drift%2:35:03::
9. sense_key=drift%2:30:10::
10. sense_key=drift%2:30:00::

Index 2 is "wander from a direct course or at random".
I'll go with 2.
Wait, "drift away" in WordNet might be under "drift" sense 2.
Let's check if "drift away" is an example in sense 2. No, the example is "don't drift from the set course".
But "drift away" means to stray.
I will output 2.

Like most of the other 6,000 churches in Britain with sets of bells, St. Michael once had its own "band "of ringers, who would herald every Sunday morning and evening service. Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond. The others here today live elsewhere. They belong to a group of 15 ringers -- including two octogenarians and four youngsters in training -- who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia.

The target word is "youth" in the context: "Mr. Hammond worries that old age and the flightiness of youth will diminish the ranks of the East Anglian group that keeps the Aslacton bells pealing."
The phrase is "the flightiness of youth".
Here, "youth" refers to the state of being young, or the time of life between childhood and maturity, or the freshness and vitality characteristic of a young person.
Wait, "flightiness of youth" - youth as a state or time of life.
Let's check the senses:
1. a young person (especially a young man or boy)
2. young people collectively
3. the time of life between childhood and maturity
4. early maturity; the state of being young or immature or inexperienced
5. an early period of development
6. the freshness and vitality characteristic of a young person

"flightiness of youth" -> "youth" here is the state of being young or the time of life.
Wait, "flightiness of youth" could be "the state of being young or immature or inexperienced" (sense 4) or "the time of life between childhood and maturity" (sense 3).
Let's look at sense 3: "the time of life between childhood and maturity".
Sense 4: "early maturity; the state of being young or immature or inexperienced".
"flightiness" is a characteristic of the state of being young or immature.
Let's consider "flightiness of youth". "youth" as a state or period.
Is it sense 3 or sense 4?
"flightiness of youth" -> youth as a state of being young.
Let's check WordNet for "flightiness of youth".
Actually, "youth" in "the flightiness of youth" refers to the state of being young.
Let's look at sense 3: "the time of life between childhood and maturity".
Sense 4: "early maturity; the state of being young or immature or inexperienced".
"flightiness" is associated with immaturity or inexperience.
Wait, "youth" in "flightiness of youth" is often mapped to sense 3 or 4.
Let's search for "flightiness of youth".
"old age and the flightiness of youth" -> old age is a time of life or state, youth is a time of life or state.
"old age" is a time of life. "youth" is a time of life.
So sense 3: "the time of life between childhood and maturity".
Let's check if there is an exact match in WordNet examples.
No exact match.
But "old age and the flightiness of youth" contrasts "old age" (a time of life) with "youth" (a time of life).
Therefore, sense 3 is the best fit.
Let's double check sense 3 vs sense 4.
Sense 3: the time of life between childhood and maturity.
Sense 4: early maturity; the state of being young or immature or inexperienced.
"flightiness" is a trait of the state of being young. But "old age" is a time of life. "old age and the flightiness of youth" -> "youth" is the time of life.
Wait, "flightiness of youth" -> youth as a state.
Let's consider "youth" as "the time of life between childhood and maturity".
I will choose sense 3.
Let's re-read carefully: "Mr. Hammond worries that old age and the flightiness of youth will diminish the ranks..."
"old age" is a period of life. "youth" is a period of life.
Sense 3: the time of life between childhood and maturity.
Yes, sense 3.
Let's consider if "youth" could be sense 4. "state of being young or immature or inexperienced". "flightiness" is a characteristic of this state. But "old age" is a time of life.
I'll go with 3.
Wait, "flightiness of youth" - youth is the time of life.

Yes, "diminish the ranks of the East Anglian group" means diminishing the membership/body of members of the group.

Double check:
"diminish the ranks of the East Anglian group" -> the group's members.
Sense 5 is exactly "the body of members of an organization or group".
Sense 3 is "the ordinary members of an organization (such as the enlisted soldiers of an army)". The context doesn't specify "ordinary members" vs leaders, just the members of the group as a whole.

Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond. The others here today live elsewhere. They belong to a group of 15 ringers -- including two octogenarians and four youngsters in training -- who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia. "To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to scrape, "says Mr. Hammond, a retired water-authority worker. "We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "bells" in the context: "keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia", "keeps the Aslacton bells pealing".
The context refers to church bells, which are hollow devices made of metal that make a ringing sound when struck.
Sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck"
Sense 3: "the sound of a bell being struck"
Wait, "keep the bells sounding" and "keeps the Aslacton bells pealing". The bells themselves are the objects being rung. "keep the bells sounding" -> the bells are the physical objects.
Let's check Sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck".
Is it Sense 1 or Sense 3? "keep the bells sounding" -> the bells (objects) are sounding. "keeps the Aslacton bells pealing" -> the bells (objects) are pealing.
Sense 1 fits "bells" as the physical objects in the belfries.
Let's double check. "keep the bells sounding in the many belfries" -> belfries contain the physical bells.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.
Let's review the options.
1. sense_key=bell%1:06:00:: | definition=a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck
3. sense_key=bell%1:11:00:: | definition=the sound of a bell being struck | synonyms=toll | examples=saved by the bell; she heard the distant toll of church bells

"keep the bells sounding" -> the bells (objects) are sounding.
"keeps the Aslacton bells pealing" -> the bells (objects) are pealing.
The word "bells" refers to the physical objects.
So Sense 1 is correct.
I will output {"sense_index": 1}.

The target word is "History" in the context: "Mr. Hammond worries that old age and the flightiness of youth will diminish the ranks of the East Anglian group that keeps the Aslacton bells pealing. History, after all, is not on his side. According to a nationwide survey taken a year ago, nearly a third of England's church bells are no longer rung on Sundays because there is no one to ring them."

The phrase "History, after all, is not on his side" refers to the continuum of events occurring in succession leading from the past to the present and even into the future, or the aggregate of past events. Wait, "History is not on his side" means the trend of events over time (the continuum of events) is against him.
Let's check the senses:
1. the aggregate of past events
2. a record or narrative description of past events
3. the discipline that records and interprets past events involving human beings
4. the continuum of events occurring in succession leading from the past to the present and even into the future
5. all that is remembered of the past as preserved in writing; a body of knowledge

"History is not on his side" implies the ongoing trend or continuum of events (the future/present direction of events).
Sense 4: "the continuum of events occurring in succession leading from the past to the present and even into the future"
Examples: "all of human history"
Wait, "History is not on his side" means the trend of events.
Let's consider Sense 4 vs Sense 1.
Sense 1: the aggregate of past events.
Sense 4: the continuum of events occurring in succession leading from the past to the present and even into the future.
"History is not on his side" - history as a force or continuum of events.
Let's search for "History is not on his side" or similar phrases. "History is on our side" usually refers to the continuum of events or the trend of the future.
Sense 4 fits "continuum of events occurring in succession leading from the past to the present and even into the future".
Let's double check WordNet.
history%1:28:02:: continuum of events occurring in succession leading from the past to the present and even into the future.
Is there any other sense?
"History, after all, is not on his side."
This means the ongoing trend of events (continuum) is against him.
I will choose sense 4.
Let's review the options.
1. aggregate of past events
4. continuum of events occurring in succession leading from the past to the present and even into the future

"History is not on his side" -> the continuum of events.
Yes, sense 4.
Let's confirm.
"History is on our side" -> the continuum of events.
I'll output 4.
