Target lemma: get
Target surface form: got
Context:
It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however. More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry. When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below. This does not sit well with some clerics. With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, <t>got</t> so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band; the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest. "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "got" in the context: "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 phrase is "got so fed up".
"got" here means "became" or "entered a certain state or condition" (fed up).
Let's check the candidate senses.
Sense 2: sense_key=get%2:30:00:: | definition=enter or assume a certain state or condition | synonyms=become, go | examples=He became annoyed when he heard the bad news; It must be getting more serious.
This perfectly matches "got so fed up" (became so fed up).

Let's double check.
"got so fed up" -> became so fed up.
Sense 2 is "enter or assume a certain state or condition".
Synonyms: become, go.
Examples: He became annoyed...

Is there any other sense?
Sense 15: give certain properties to something (make). "get someone mad". But here it's "got so fed up", which is intransitive in meaning (he got fed up = he became fed up).
So Sense 2 is the best fit.
Context: "got so fed up"
Sense 2: enter or assume a certain state or condition.
Matches perfectly.
Sense index: 2.

Target lemma: ringer
Target surface form: ringers
Context:
It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however. More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry. When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below. This does not sit well with some clerics. With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. 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 <t>ringers</t> promptly set up a picket line in protest.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "promptly".
Context: "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 protest."
The ringers set up a picket line in protest immediately after being sacked.
Sense 1: with little or no delay (quickly, quick)
Sense 2: in a punctual manner (readily, pronto)
Sense 3: at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence) (right away)

Wait, setting up a picket line in protest is an undesirable occurrence from the perspective of the vicar, or it's just an immediate reaction.
Let's check the examples for sense 3: "he promptly forgot the address".
Is setting up a picket line an undesirable occurrence? Yes, from the vicar's perspective, or it's just an immediate reaction.
Wait, let's look at sense 1: "with little or no delay". "the rescue squad arrived promptly".
Sense 3: "at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)".
Is "set up a picket line in protest" an undesirable occurrence? Yes, it's a protest against the vicar.
Let's consider "promptly" in this context. "the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest."
Does it mean "with little or no delay" or "at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)"?
Actually, "promptly" meaning "at once" is often used for undesirable occurrences, but "with little or no delay" is also very fitting.
Let's re-read the definition of sense 3: "at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)".
Is setting up a picket line an undesirable occurrence? Yes, it's a protest.
Wait, let's look at the synonyms: "right away".
Sense 1 synonyms: "quickly, quick".
In WordNet, "promptly" has:
- promptly (adv) = with little or no delay; "the rescue squad arrived promptly"
- promptly (adv) = in a punctual manner; "he did his homework promptly"
- promptly (adv) = at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence); "he promptly forgot the address"

Is setting up a picket line an undesirable occurrence? Yes, it's a protest.
But wait, "promptly" here just means "immediately" or "right away".
Let's see: "the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest."
If I have to choose between 1 and 3.
"promptly" modifying "set up a picket line in protest".
Is it an undesirable occurrence? Yes, a protest is undesirable to the vicar.
But is it sense 1 or 3?
Let's search for "promptly set up a picket line".
Actually, "promptly" meaning "at once" (sense 3) is often used for things like "promptly forgot", "promptly died", "promptly refused".
"promptly set up a picket line" - is it undesirable? Yes.
But maybe sense 1 is better because it's just "with little or no delay".
Let's check the exact WordNet 3.1 senses for "promptly".
1. promptly (adv) = with little or no delay; "the rescue squad arrived promptly"
2. promptly (adv) = in a punctual manner; "he did his homework promptly"
3. promptly (adv) = at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence); "he promptly forgot the address"

Wait, "promptly" in "promptly set up a picket line" - is it sense 1 or 3?
"at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)"
Is a picket line an undesirable occurrence? Yes.
But "with little or no delay" is also very general.
Let's consider "promptly" as "right away".
"the ringers right away set up a picket line" -> "promptly"
I will guess sense 1 because "with little or no delay" is the most common and neutral, but wait, the gloss for 3 specifically says "usually modifies an undesirable occurrence". A protest is an undesirable occurrence.
Let's look at similar examples. "he promptly refused" -> undesirable.
"the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest" -> undesirable.
But is it sense 1? "with little or no delay".
Let's think if "promptly" here means "immediately".
"the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest."
I'll go with 1, because "with little or no delay" fits perfectly and "undesirable occurrence" might be too specific or not the primary intended sense here, or maybe it is 3.
Wait, "promptly" in WordNet:
Sense 1: with little or no delay
Sense 3: at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)
If the text says "promptly set up a picket line in protest", it's an immediate reaction.
Let's choose 1. "with little or no delay" is the most standard sense for "promptly" in this context (they did it right after being sacked).
Wait, "at once" is sense 3. "right away".
Let's choose 1.
Actually, if I look at "promptly set up a picket line", it's an action taken with little or no delay.
Let's choose 1.
Wait, let's re-evaluate sense 3. "he promptly forgot the address".
Is setting up a picket line an undesirable occurrence? Yes, from the perspective of the narrative (the vicar).
But "with little or no delay" is a better fit for an action taken in response.
I will output 1.
Let's double check. "promptly" -> "with little or no delay".
Yes.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "protest" in the context: "the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest."
The context describes ringers setting up a picket line to show their disagreement and disapproval of being sacked by the vicar.
Sense 1: a formal and solemn declaration of objection (e.g., under protest).
Sense 2: the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent (synonyms: objection, dissent).
Sense 3: the act of making a strong public expression of disagreement and disapproval (e.g., shouted his protests, shower of protest).

Wait, "set up a picket line in protest" is a public, organized manifestation of dissent.
Let's check the definitions.
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"

"set up a picket line in protest" -> a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent.
Is it sense 2 or sense 3?
"protest%1:04:00::" is "the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent".
"protest%1:10:01::" is "the act of making a strong public expression of disagreement and disapproval".

Let's look at the phrase "in protest".
WordNet often has "in protest" as an example for sense 2 or 3?
Actually, "protest%1:04:00::" is "the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent".
"protest%1:10:01::" is "the act of making a strong public expression of disagreement and disapproval".
Wait, "set up a picket line in protest" is a public, organized manifestation of dissent.
Let's consider "protest%1:04:00::" vs "protest%1:10:01::".
"protest%1:04:00::" has synonyms: objection, dissent.
"protest%1:10:01::" has examples: he shouted his protests at the umpire; a shower of protest was heard from the rear of the hall.

"set up a picket line in protest" -> "in protest" is an adverbial phrase, but here it's a noun.
"protest%1:04:00::" is the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent.
"protest%1:10:01::" is the act of making a strong public expression of disagreement and disapproval.

Wait, looking at WordNet:
protest%1:04:00:: "the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent"
protest%1:10:01:: "the act of making a strong public expression of disagreement and disapproval"

Is "in protest" sense 2?
"set up a picket line in protest" -> a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent.
Let's check the examples for sense 2: none given in the prompt, but "public (often organized) manifestation of dissent" perfectly matches "set up a picket line".
Sense 3 examples: "he shouted his protests at the umpire; a shower of protest was heard from the rear of the hall". These are vocal expressions.
A picket line is an organized manifestation of dissent. So sense 2 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"protest%1:04:00::" -> the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent.
"protest%1:10:01::" -> the act of making a strong public expression of disagreement and disapproval.

"set up a picket line in protest" -> organized manifestation of dissent.
I will choose sense 2.
Wait, let's re-read the context: "the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest."
A picket line is a public, organized manifestation of dissent.
Therefore, sense 2 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm the sense index.
1. sense_key=protest%1:10:00::
2. sense_key=protest%1:04:00::
3. sense_key=protest%1:10:01::

I will output 2.

The target word is "sort" in the context: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises," the Vicar Hummerstone says.
The phrase is "sort of".
Let's look at the candidate senses:

Sense 1 is "a category of things".
Sense 2 is "an approximate definition or example".
"sort of a separate premises" -> "sort of" is used as an adverbial or adjectival phrase meaning "somewhat" or "a kind of".

"treated the tower as sort of a separate premises"
"sort of" = approximately, a kind of.
Sense 2: sort%1:07:00:: an approximate definition or example.
Yes, "sort of" in this context is sense 2.
Let's review the options.
1. kind, form, variety. "sculpture is a form of art"
2. approximate definition or example. "she wore a sort of magenta dress"
3. person of a particular character.
4. operation that segregates.

"sort of a separate premises" -> "a sort of separate premises" -> "an approximate definition or example".
I will choose 2.

Target lemma: separate
Target surface form: separate
Context:
More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry. When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below. This does not sit well with some clerics. With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. 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 protest. "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a <t>separate</t> premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says. An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation.

reasoning_content:
The target word is "separate" in the context: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises," the Vicar Hummerstone says.
The context is about ringers treating the tower as a separate premises, meaning independent, not united or joint with the church/worship.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. independent; not united or joint (a problem consisting of two separate issues; they went their separate ways)
2. standing apart; not attached to or supported by anything (freestanding)
3. separated according to race, sex, class, or religion (separate but equal)
4. have the connection undone; having become separate (disjoined)

The ringers treated the tower as a separate premises, meaning it was independent from the church, not united or joint with the church's main purpose (worship).
Sense 1 fits best: "independent; not united or joint".
Let's double check. "separate premises" -> independent premises, not united with the church.
Sense 1 is the best fit.
Sense 2 is about physical attachment (freestanding). The tower is physically attached to the church ("stuck on the bottom of the belfry"), but they treated it as a separate (independent) premises.
So sense 1 is correct.

The target word is "says" in the context: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says.
The Vicar Hummerstone is expressing his opinion or judgement, declaring something.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. express in words (state, tell)
2. report or maintain (allege, aver)
3. express a supposition (suppose)
4. have or contain a certain wording or form (read)
5. give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority (order, tell, enjoin)
6. speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way (pronounce, articulate)
7. communicate or express nonverbally
8. utter aloud
9. state as one's opinion or judgement; declare (I say let's forget this whole business)
10. recite or repeat a fixed text
11. indicate

Wait, "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises," the Vicar Hummerstone says.
Is it sense 1 (express in words) or sense 9 (state as one's opinion or judgement; declare)?
Let's check sense 1: "He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you"
Sense 9: "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" -> "I say let's forget this whole business"
Actually, "says" here is just a reporting verb, expressing in words. "He said that he wanted to marry her" is very similar to "the Vicar Hummerstone says".
Wait, sense 1 is "express in words".
Let's see: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises," the Vicar Hummerstone says.
This is a direct quote. "express in words" fits perfectly.
Let's consider sense 1 vs sense 9. Sense 9 is "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare". The quote is an opinion/judgement, but "says" is the standard reporting verb for a quote.
In WordNet, "say" sense 1 is "express in words".
Let's look at the synonyms for sense 1: state, tell.
Is there a better fit?
"express in words" (sense 1) is the most general and common sense for "says" introducing a quote.
Let's check sense 1 again. "He said that he wanted to marry her"
Wait, if it's a direct quote, it's still "express in words".
Let's check sense 1.
Yes, "express in words" is the standard sense for "say" when introducing a statement or quote.
Let's double check sense 1.
"express in words" -> state, tell.
I will choose 1.
Wait, let's look at sense 1: "express in words".
Is there any other sense?
"report or maintain" (sense 2) -> allege, aver.
"state as one's opinion or judgement; declare" (sense 9).
But "says" is just the neutral reporting verb here. "the Vicar Hummerstone says."
I'll go with 1.
Let's review the quote: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says.
This is a standard speech tag. Sense 1 is the most appropriate.
Let's confirm sense 1.
sense_key=say%2:32:00:: | definition=express in words | synonyms=state, tell | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you
Yes, 1 is the best fit.
Another option: 1.
I will output 1.

Examples: "they now have a new leaders" (typo in WordNet, but matches the meaning).
Yes, sense 5 is the best fit.

The target word is "still" in the context: "But there still are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells."
The sentence means that despite the new band of ringers, the condition of not having enough ringers continues without change.
Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. sense_key=still%4:02:01:: | definition=with reference to action or condition; without change, interruption, or cessation | examples=it's still warm outside; will you still love me when we're old and grey?

4. sense_key=still%4:02:02:: | definition=without moving or making a sound

In the context, "there still are not enough ringers" means the condition of not having enough ringers continues. This matches sense 1: "with reference to action or condition; without change, interruption, or cessation".
Let's double check. "still are not enough" -> the condition of not being enough continues.
Sense 1 fits perfectly.
Sense 2 is "despite anything to the contrary" (e.g., "I am tired, but I will still go"). Here, it's not really a concession, it's a continuation of a state. "An entirely new band rings today... But there still are not enough ringers". Wait, "But" is the concession. "still" just means "continuing to be".
"there still are not enough ringers" -> "there continue to be not enough ringers".
Yes, sense 1.
Let's review the examples for sense 1: "it's still warm outside" -> condition without change. "there still are not enough ringers" -> condition without change.
Sense 1 is the best fit.
