The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "however" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, <t>however</t>."

Let's look at the senses:
1. despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)
2. by contrast; on the other hand
3. to whatever degree or extent
4. in whatever way or manner

In the sentence, "however" is used at the end of the sentence to indicate a contrast or a concession to a previous statement. It means "despite anything to the contrary" or "nevertheless".
Wait, let's analyze the context. "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
This implies a contrast to something previously mentioned. "However" here means "nevertheless" or "despite anything to the contrary".
Let's check the examples for sense 1: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" (this is a bit weirdly phrased, but it means "nevertheless").
Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand" - "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours".
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"however" at the end of a sentence often means "nevertheless" or "despite anything to the contrary".
Let's search for the exact sentence: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
This might be from a specific corpus (like WordNet or similar).
In WordNet, "however" has these senses:
1. despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)
2. by contrast; on the other hand
3. to whatever degree or extent
4. in whatever way or manner

Let's look at the sentence again: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
This means "nevertheless".
Sense 1: despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession).
Sense 2: by contrast; on the other hand.

If I say "I like apples. I don't like oranges, however." This is "by contrast" or "despite anything to the contrary"?
Actually, "however" at the end of a sentence is often classified as "nevertheless" or "despite anything to the contrary".
Let's consider WordNet's exact definitions.
WordNet 3.1:
however (adverb)
1. despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession)
"although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it"; "even so, she has to work very hard"; "in spite of that, it works fine"
2. by contrast; on the other hand
"the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours"
3. to whatever degree or extent
"the results, however general, are important"; "however difficult it may be, do your best"
4. in whatever way or manner
"victory, however it was brought about, was sweet"; "however you look at it"

In the sentence "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however.", it means "nevertheless".
Is it sense 1 or sense 2?
"despite anything to the contrary" fits "nevertheless".
Let's search for "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
This is likely from a text. "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
Wait, "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
Could it be sense 1? Yes, "however" meaning "nevertheless" is sense 1.
Let's check if there is a distinction. "by contrast; on the other hand" is sense 2.
If the previous sentence was "He is usually very calm. It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however." This is a contrast.
But "however" at the end of a sentence is very often "nevertheless" (sense 1).
Let's look at the example for sense 1: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" -> this is "nevertheless".
Let's look at the example for sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" -> this is "on the other hand".
In "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however.", it's more like "nevertheless".
Let's guess 1.

Wait, if I have to choose between 1 and 2, "nevertheless" is sense 1.
Let's consider the phrase "stays in the tower, however."
Maybe it's sense 1.
Let's think if there's any other clue.
"despite anything to the contrary" = nevertheless.
"by contrast; on the other hand" = however (mid-sentence usually, or contrasting two things).
At the end of a sentence, "however" almost always means "nevertheless" (sense 1).
I will go with 1.
Let's double check.
Sentence: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
If it means "nevertheless", it's sense 1.
I'll output 1.

In the sentence, "changes are completed" means the changes (a sequence of bell ringing) are brought to a finish or an end.
Sense 1: "come or bring to a finish or an end" fits perfectly.
Sense 2: "bring to a whole" doesn't fit.

Wait, "changes are completed" -> passive voice of "complete". "come or bring to a finish or an end".
Let's check the senses of "complete" in WordNet.
WordNet senses for "complete":
1. come or bring to a finish or an end; "He finished the dishes"; "She completed the requirements for her Master's degree"; "The builders finished the new building"

Let's check if there is a specific mapping.
"worked up a sweat" -> sweat (noun)
In WordNet, "sweat" as in "worked up a sweat" is often sense 1.
Let's re-read the sentence: "after they have worked up a sweat"

2. definition=frequently or in great quantities | examples=I don't drink much (Wait, "I don't drink much" is not a good example for "often", but let's check the definition: "frequently or in great quantities")
3. definition=in many cases or instances

Let's look at the sentence: "ringers often skip off to the local pub". This means in many cases or instances, they skip off to the local pub.
Wait, let's analyze the senses.
Sense 1: many times at short intervals.
Sense 2: frequently or in great quantities.
Sense 3: in many cases or instances.

"ringers often skip off to the local pub" -> in many cases or instances, they do this.
Let's search for WordNet senses of "often".
WordNet "often":
1. often, oftentimes, oft, ofttimes - many times at short intervals; "we often met over a cup of coffee"
2. often, frequently - in many cases or instances; "they often (or frequently) come to see us"

Wait, the provided senses are:
1. definition=many times at short intervals | examples=we often met over a cup of coffee
2. definition=frequently or in great quantities | examples=I don't drink much (Wait, this might be a distractor or a different word's sense, or maybe "often" doesn't have this sense, but let's check).
3. definition=in many cases or instances

Actually, WordNet has:
often, oftentimes, oft, ofttimes: many times at short intervals
often, frequently: in many cases or instances

So sense 3 is "in many cases or instances".
Let's re-read the sentence: "ringers often skip off to the local pub". This means in many cases or instances, they skip off.
Is it "many times at short intervals"? No, it's just a general habit, "in many cases or instances".
Let's check the examples for sense 3: "they often (or frequently) come to see us".
The sentence "ringers often skip off to the local pub" matches "in many cases or instances".

Let's double check WordNet:
Sense 1: many times at short intervals
Sense 2: in many cases or instances

Wait, the prompt says:
1. definition=many times at short intervals | examples=we often met over a cup of coffee
2. definition=frequently or in great quantities | examples=I don't drink much
3. definition=in many cases or instances

Wait, "frequently or in great quantities" is not a standard WordNet sense for "often". Maybe it's from a different dictionary, or it's a distractor.
But sense 3 is exactly WordNet's second sense for "often": "in many cases or instances".
Let's see: "ringers often skip off to the local pub" -> in many cases or instances.
Therefore, the correct sense is 3.
Let's review the sentence: "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 describes a habitual action that happens in many cases or instances.
So 3 is the best fit.
I will return 3.

Sentence: "Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band; the ringers <t>promptly</t> set up a picket line in protest."

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

In the sentence, the ringers "promptly set up a picket line in protest."
This means they did it immediately, with little or no delay, or "at once".
Wait, sense 3 says "usually modifies an undesirable occurrence". Setting up a picket line in protest might be considered undesirable from the vicar's perspective, but is it the best fit?
Let's re-read sense 1: "with little or no delay".
Let's re-read sense 3: "at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)".
Wait, "promptly" in WordNet:
Sense 1: promptly, right away, immediately, straightaway, at once, instantly, directly, now, now now - without delay or hesitation; with no time intervening; "he answered immediately"; "found the letter immediately"; "he came immediately"
Sense 2: promptly, punctually - at the exact time; "the meeting will start punctually at eight"
Sense 3: promptly - in a punctual manner; "he did his homework promptly" (Wait, WordNet has:
1. promptly, right away, immediately, straightaway, at once, instantly, directly, now, now now - without delay or hesitation; with no time intervening; "he answered immediately"; "found the letter immediately"; "he came immediately"
2. promptly, punctually - at the exact time; "the meeting will start punctually at eight"
3. promptly - in a punctual manner; "he did his homework promptly"

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

Let's look at the example for sense 3: "he promptly forgot the address".
In the sentence, "the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest."
Is setting up a picket line an undesirable occurrence? Yes, from the perspective of the vicar or the narrative.
But wait, "with little or no delay" (Sense 1) is a very strong fit. "the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest" -> they did it immediately.
Let's search for this exact sentence in a corpus or dictionary.
"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."
This is from a news article.
If we look at WordNet, "promptly" has:
1. without delay or hesitation; with no time intervening
2. at the exact time
3. in a punctual manner

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

Is "promptly set up a picket line" sense 1 or sense 3?
"at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)" - "he promptly forgot the address".
"with little or no delay" - "the rescue squad arrived promptly".
In the sentence, the ringers set up a picket line in protest. This is an action they took immediately. It's not necessarily an "undesirable occurrence" in the same way as "forgot the address" (which is a negative event happening to the subject). Here, the ringers are the agents doing something intentionally.
Therefore, "with little or no delay" (Sense 1) is the most appropriate. They acted with little or no delay.

Let's check if there's any source that maps this.
This looks like a Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD) task, possibly from a specific dataset like SemEval or similar.
In the Oxford Dictionary or similar, "promptly" means "with little or no delay; immediately."
Sense 1: with little or no delay.
Sense 3: at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence).
Is setting up a picket line an undesirable occurrence? It's an action, not an occurrence that happens to someone. "he promptly forgot" is an occurrence. "the ringers promptly set up" is an intentional action.
So Sense 1 is the best fit.

Let's double check.
"the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest."
They did it immediately, with little or no delay.
Sense 1: with little or no delay.

I will output 1.
