Sentence: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a <t>separate</t> premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says.

2. definition=standing apart; not attached to or supported by anything | examples=a freestanding bell tower
3. definition=separated according to race, sex, class, or religion | examples=separate but equal
4. definition=have the connection undone; having become separate

In the sentence, "separate premises" means independent or not united with the rest of the club's premises. It means it's treated as an independent entity.
Sense 1: independent; not united or joint. This fits perfectly.
Sense 2: standing apart; not attached. (Usually physical, like a freestanding tower, but "separate premises" implies independent status).
Sense 3: segregated.
Sense 4: having become separate (verb participle).

Let's look at Sense 1: "independent; not united or joint". "treated the tower as sort of a separate premises" -> independent premises.
Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct answer.
Let's double check. "separate premises" -> independent premises.
Yes, 1.

The sentence is: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone <t>says</t>.
The word "says" is used to report or maintain a statement.
Let's check the senses:
1. express in words
2. report or maintain (He alleged that he was the victim of a crime)
3. express a supposition
4. have or contain a certain wording or form
5. give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority
6. speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way
7. communicate or express nonverbally
8. utter aloud
9. state as one's opinion or judgement; declare
10. recite or repeat a fixed text
11. indicate

Wait, "report or maintain" fits "the Vicar Hummerstone says".
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 reporting what the Vicar Hummerstone said.
Sense 2: report or maintain.
Let's double check.
Sense 1: express in words.
Sense 2: report or maintain.
Is it 2?
Yes, "report or maintain" is often used for "says" in journalistic contexts, e.g., "The report says...", "He says that...".
Wait, sense 2 examples: "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime".
Let's consider sense 1: "He said that he wanted to marry her".
In the sentence, "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. "The Vicar Hummerstone says" is reporting the quote.
Is it sense 2?
Let's look at WordNet senses for "say":
1. express in words (say, tell, state)
2. report or maintain (say, allege, claim, assert, maintain)
3. express a supposition (say)
4. have or contain a certain wording or form (read, say)
5. give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority (say, tell)
6. speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way (pronounce, articulate, enunciate, say)
7. communicate or express nonverbally (say)
8. utter aloud (say)
9. state as one's opinion or judgement; declare (say)
10. recite or repeat a fixed text (say)
11. indicate (say)

In the sentence, "the Vicar Hummerstone says" is attributing a statement.
Is it sense 2? "report or maintain".
Or sense 1? "express in words".
Wait, "report or maintain" is often used for "says" in the sense of "claims" or "alleges".
But here it's just a simple attribution of a quote.
Let's search for similar examples.
"the Vicar Hummerstone says" -> reporting a statement.
Could it be 2?
Let's check WordNet:
say v 1: express in words; "He said that he wanted to marry her"; "tell me what is bothering you"; "state your opinion"; "state your name"
say v 2: report or maintain; "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime"; "He reported that he was late for work"
say v 9: state as one's opinion or judgement; declare; "I say let's forget this whole business"

Actually, "report or maintain" fits "says" as in "The article says...", "He says...".
Wait, "report or maintain" is sense 2.
Let's consider "report or maintain" vs "express in words".
In "the Vicar Hummerstone says", he is reporting a fact or maintaining a position.
Let's choose 2.
Wait, let's look at the example for sense 2: "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime".
Is "says" in the sentence closer to "report or maintain"? Yes, it's reporting what the Vicar said.
Let's consider if it's 1. "express in words".
Actually, in many datasets, "says" in a quote attribution is sense 2.
Let's think if there's any other.
"report or maintain" is the best fit for "says" when it means "states" or "reports".
I will output 2.
Wait, let's re-read the sentence: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says.
This is a reporting clause. "report or maintain" is sense 2.
I'll go with 2.
Let me double check sense 1 vs 2.
Sense 1: express in words. Example: He said that he wanted to marry her.
Sense 2: report or maintain. Example: He alleged that he was the victim of a crime.
In the sentence, the Vicar is reporting a fact about the club. So 2 is very appropriate.
I will return 2.

11. definition=unfamiliar | examples=new experiences

reasoning_content:
The sentence is: "An entirely <t>new</t> band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation."
The word "new" here refers to a band (a group of bell ringers) that is different from the former one, or a newly formed band.
Let's check the senses:
1. not of long duration; having just come into being. (a new band)
5. other than the former one(s); different. (they now have a new leaders)

Wait, "An entirely new band rings today..."
Could it be sense 1? "not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered"
Or sense 5? "other than the former one(s); different"
Let's consider "entirely new band". A band of bell ringers.
Is it sense 1 or 5?
"An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation."
If it's a newly formed band, it's sense 1.
Let's search for similar examples. "a new band" -> sense 1.
Wait, "entirely new" might mean "different" (sense 5) or "just come into being" (sense 1).
Let's look at the wording: "An entirely new band rings today..."
If it's a newly formed band, it's sense 1.
Let's check WordNet for "new".
Sense 1: not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered. "a new law", "new cars", "a new comet", "a new friend", "a new year", "the New World"
Sense 5: other than the former one(s); different. "they now have a new leaders", "in her new house"

"An entirely new band" - a band that has just come into being.
Let's search for "An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington". This is a quote from a bell ringing report. "An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation."
In this context, the band is newly formed. So sense 1.
Let's double check if there's any other sense.
Sense 1: "having just (or relatively recently) come into being" -> a new band.
Yes, "new band" fits sense 1 perfectly.
Let's review the options.
1. not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered
5. other than the former one(s); different

"entirely new band" -> newly formed band.
I will go with 1.
Wait, let's think if "entirely new" implies "different" (sense 5). "entirely new" is often used for "completely different" or "just created". But a band of ringers is a group of people. A "new band" means a newly formed group. So sense 1.
Let's choose 1.

Let's double check.
"members of the congregation" -> people who attend a given church.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "still" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "But there <t>still</t> are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells."

Let's look at the senses:
1. with reference to action or condition; without change, interruption, or cessation (e.g., it's still warm outside)
2. despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession) (e.g., although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it)
3. to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons (e.g., looked sick and felt even worse)
4. without moving or making a sound (e.g., he sat still as a statue)

In the sentence, "still" means that the condition of not having enough ringers continues to be true. It indicates that the situation has not changed.
This matches sense 1: "with reference to action or condition; without change, interruption, or cessation".

Let's double check.
"But there still are not enough ringers..." -> The condition of not having enough ringers continues.
Sense 1 fits perfectly.
Sense 2 is "nevertheless" or "yet" (e.g., "I know it's hard, but I still want to do it"). Here, it's not really following a concession in the same way, it's just stating a continuing condition. Wait, "But there still are not enough..." could be seen as continuing condition.
Let's see: "still" as in "continuing to happen or exist".
Sense 1: "with reference to action or condition; without change, interruption, or cessation" -> "it's still warm outside". This matches "there still are not enough ringers".

Therefore, the correct sense is 1.
I will return only the number 1.

The sentence is: "At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent <t>following</t> a dust-up over church attendance."
The word "following" here means "after" or "as a result of" or "be later in time".
Let's check the senses:
1. to travel behind, go after, come after
2. be later in time
3. come as a logical consequence
4. travel along a certain course
5. act in accordance with someone's rules
6. come after in time, as a result
Wait, "following a dust-up" means "after a dust-up" or "as a result of a dust-up".
Let's look at sense 6: "come after in time, as a result" | examples="A terrible tsunami followed the earthquake"
Wait, "following" in the sentence is a preposition or participle meaning "after".
Let's see: "the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance."
This means the silence came after the dust-up, as a result of it.
Sense 6: "come after in time, as a result"
Let's check sense 2: "be later in time"
Sense 6 fits "as a result" better, because the silence is a result of the dust-up.
Wait, let's look at the example for sense 6: "A terrible tsunami followed the earthquake".
In the sentence, "the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up".
Is it sense 6?
Let's check WordNet for "follow".
Sense 6: come after in time, as a result. "A terrible tsunami followed the earthquake"
Yes, "following a dust-up" means "after a dust-up, as a result of it".
Let's double check if there's any other sense.
Sense 2: be later in time. "Tuesday always follows Monday"
Sense 6: come after in time, as a result. "A terrible tsunami followed the earthquake"
The bells falling silent is a result of the dust-up. So sense 6 is the best fit.
Let's review the sentence: "the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance."
"following" = "after" or "as a result of".
Sense 6: "come after in time, as a result"
I will output 6.
Let's consider if "following" is a preposition here. In WordNet, "follow" is a verb. "following" is the present participle.
"the bells have fallen silent [after] a dust-up" -> "following" acts as a preposition, but derived from the verb sense 6.
Yes, 6 is the correct sense.
Let's quickly check if there's any other.
1. travel behind
2. be later in time
3. come as a logical consequence
6. come after in time, as a result
I am confident it is 6.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "church" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over <t>church</t> attendance."
The word "church" here refers to the attendance of the people who belong to or attend the local church.
Let's look at the senses:
1. one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship
2. a place for public (especially Christian) worship
3. a service conducted in a house of worship
4. the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church

"church attendance" refers to the attendance of the people (the congregation) at the church.
Wait, "church attendance" could mean attending the service (sense 3) or the attendance of the body of people (sense 4).
Let's re-read carefully: "a dust-up over church attendance."
Does it mean attendance at the service, or the attendance of the church (the people)?
Actually, "church attendance" usually refers to the number of people attending the services, or the act of attending the service.
Wait, let's look at sense 4: "the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church | examples=our church is hosting a picnic next week".
If it's "church attendance", it means the attendance of the church (the people). Or does it mean attending the service?
Let's consider "church attendance" as a compound. "Church" modifies "attendance".
If "church" means the body of people, "church attendance" = attendance of the church (people).
If "church" means the service, "church attendance" = attendance at the service.
Let's check the examples for sense 4: "our church is hosting a picnic next week". Here "church" is the body of people.
In "church attendance", is "church" the body of people? "attendance of the church" -> the church's attendance. Yes, "church" here refers to the congregation, the body of people.
Wait, could it be sense 3? "a service conducted in a house of worship". "attendance at church" -> attending the service. But the phrase is "church attendance".
Let's search for similar examples in WordNet or similar dictionaries.
WordNet sense for "church":
1. a building for public (especially Christian) worship
2. the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church
3. one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship
4. a service conducted in a house of worship

Wait, the prompt says:
1. definition=one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship
2. definition=a place for public (especially Christian) worship | examples=the church was empty
3. definition=a service conducted in a house of worship | examples=don't be late for church
4. definition=the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church | examples=our church is hosting a picnic next week

In "church attendance", "church" is acting as a noun adjunct. What kind of attendance? The attendance of the church (the congregation).
Let's think if "church" in "church attendance" refers to the body of people. "The church's attendance has dropped." Yes, "church" = the body of people.
Let's consider another angle: "church attendance" means going to church (the service). But "attendance" is a noun. "Church attendance" = the attendance of the church.
Let's look at similar datasets (like Word Sense Disambiguation).
In the sentence: "At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance."
The dust-up is over the attendance of the church (the people). Or is it over attending the service?
Actually, the news story is about a dispute over church attendance (the number of people attending, or the congregation's attendance).
Let's search my knowledge base for "dust-up over church attendance".
There was a news story: "At St Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance."
The dispute was about the congregation (the body of people) or the act of attending?
Actually, the dispute was about the congregation's attendance or the church (body of people) attendance.
Wait, if it's "church attendance", it's the attendance of the church (the people).
Let's check the definition of "church" in this context.
"the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church" -> "our church is hosting a picnic next week".
If the sentence says "church attendance", it means the attendance of the church (the people).
Let's consider if it could be 4.
Yes, "church" as the congregation. "Church attendance" = the attendance of the congregation.
Let's double check if it could be 3. "a service conducted in a house of worship". "church attendance" = attendance at the service. But usually, we say "attendance at church" for the service. "Church attendance" as a metric refers to the number of people in the church (the body of people) attending.
Therefore, sense 4 is the most appropriate.

Let's rethink: "church attendance"
Is "church" the place? No.
Is "church" the service? "attendance at church" -> service. "church attendance" -> attendance of the church (people).
Let's search for "church attendance" in WordNet.
Actually, in WordNet, "church" has:
- building
- congregation (body of people)
- denomination (group of Christians)
- service (a service conducted in a house of worship)

If the phrase is "church attendance", it typically refers to the congregation's attendance. "Church" = congregation.
Let's choose 4.
Wait, let's read the sentence again: "At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance."
The bells have fallen silent. Why? Because of a dust-up over church attendance.
Maybe the dispute was about the congregation (the body of people).
I will go with 4.
Let's consider if "church" here means the service. "a dust-up over church attendance" -> a dust-up over attending the service? No, it's about the attendance figures of the church (the people).
I am confident it is 4.
Let's review the options.
1. denomination
2. building
3. service
4. congregation (body of people)

"church attendance" -> the attendance of the congregation.
So 4.
I will output 4.

Sense 3: Church of England clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish.

In British English, "vicar" is very commonly used for a Church of England parish priest.

Let's search for "W.D. Jones" vicar.
Wait, "W.D. Jones" might be a typo for something else, or a real person.
Actually, the sentence might be from a corpus like SemCor or similar.

The user wants to identify the correct sense of the word "fault" in the given sentence.
Sentence: "But C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the <t>fault</t> is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar."

Let's look at the senses:
1. a wrong action attributable to bad judgment or ignorance or inattention
2. an imperfection in an object or machine
3. the quality of being inadequate or falling short of perfection
4. (geology) a crack in the earth's crust
5. (electronics) equipment failure
6. responsibility for a bad situation or event
7. (sports) a serve that is illegal

In the sentence, "the fault is in the stairs", it refers to an imperfection or defect in the stairs (an object).
Wait, "the fault is in the stairs" could mean the defect or imperfection is in the stairs.
Let's check sense 2: "an imperfection in an object or machine".
Is it sense 2 or sense 6? "responsibility for a bad situation or event" - "it was John's fault". Here, "the fault is in the stairs" means the defect/problem is in the stairs.
Let's consider "fault" as a defect or imperfection.
"an imperfection in an object or machine" -> "a flaw caused the crystal to shatter".
"the fault is in the stairs" -> the stairs have a fault (imperfection/defect).
Let's re-read carefully: "feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar."
This means the problem/defect is in the stairs.
Sense 2: an imperfection in an object or machine.
Could it be sense 1? "a wrong action..." No.
Sense 6: "responsibility for a bad situation or event". "the fault is in the stairs" - stairs don't have responsibility.
So it must be sense 2.

Let's double check WordNet senses for "fault":
1. fault, mistake, error, slip, blunder - a wrong action attributable to bad judgment or ignorance or inattention
2. fault, flaw, defect - an imperfection in an object or machine
3. fault, demerit - the quality of being inadequate or falling short of perfection
4. fault, geological fault, shift, fracture, break - (geology) a crack in the earth's crust resulting from the displacement of one side with respect to the other
5. fault - (electronics) equipment failure attributable to some defect in a circuit
6. fault, blame - responsibility for a bad situation or event
7. fault - (sports) a serve that is illegal

"the fault is in the stairs" -> the defect/imperfection is in the stairs.
Therefore, sense 2.
Let's confirm.
"feels the fault is in the stairs" -> the stairs have a flaw/defect.
Yes, sense 2.
Number: 2.

Let's check the examples for sense 8: "then he left".
Wait, sense 8 is "subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)".
Let's see: "So crunch, crunch, crunch..."
Could it be 8? "So" meaning "then" or "and then".
Let's check WordNet for "so".
Sense 8: subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors); "then he left"; "so he went to the store"
Yes, "So crunch, crunch, crunch..." means "And then crunch, crunch, crunch..."
Let's double check.
Sentence: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above..."
This is a narrative sequence. "So" is used as a sentence connector meaning "subsequently or soon afterward".
Let's review the options.
1. to a very great extent

Sentence: "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- <t>here</t> come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says.

Senses:
1. in or at this place; where the speaker or writer is
2. in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail
3. to this place (especially toward the speaker)
4. at this time; now

In the sentence, "here come the ringers from above", "here" is used to indicate movement or arrival to the current place or situation, often used in expressions like "here comes...".
Wait, "here come the ringers from above" means they are arriving at this place.
Let's check the senses.
Sense 1: in or at this place.
Sense 3: to this place (especially toward the speaker). "come here" is an example. "here come the ringers" implies they are coming to this place.
Wait, let's look at similar examples. "Here comes the sun" -> to this place.
Is it sense 1 or sense 3?
"here come the ringers from above" -> they are coming to this place.
Let's consider "here" as an adverb of place.
In WordNet, "here" has:
1. in or at this place; where the speaker or writer is ("I work here")
2. in this circumstance or respect or on this point or detail ("what do we have here?")
3. to this place (especially toward the speaker) ("come here, please")
4. at this time; now ("we'll adjourn here for lunch...")

"here come the ringers" -> they are coming *to* this place.
Wait, "here" in "here come..." is often classified as "to this place" or "in this place".
Let's search for "here come" in WordNet.
Actually, "here" in "here comes the bus" is often sense 3: to this place.
Let's re-read carefully: "here come the ringers from above". They are coming *to* the place where the speaker is.
Let's check if there's any other sense.
"here" as in "here comes..." is typically sense 3 (to this place).
Wait, "here" in "here come the ringers" - they are arriving.
Let's consider "here" in "here comes the sun". It means the sun is coming to this place.
Let's check WordNet for "here".
Sense 3: to this place (especially toward the speaker)
Examples: "come here, please"
Is "here come the ringers" sense 3? Yes, "come" implies motion towards the speaker's place.
Let's double check.
"here" in "here come the ringers" -> they are coming to this place.
Therefore, sense 3.

Let's rethink: does "here" mean "in this place" or "to this place"?
"Here come the ringers" -> The ringers are coming to this place.
So sense 3.

Let's test sense 1: "in or at this place". "I work here."
Sense 3: "to this place". "come here, please".
Since the verb is "come", it indicates motion towards the place, which aligns with "to this place".
So 3 is the best fit.
Another example: "Here comes the bride." -> to this place.
I will output 3.

"here come the ringers" -> they are approaching.
Yes, sense 1.

"Here come the ringers" -> approaching.

Sense 2 is "reverent petition to a deity" (more like the content of the prayer).
Sense 3 is "earnest or urgent request".
Sense 4 is "a fixed text used in praying".
Sense 5 is "someone who prays to God".

Therefore, Sense 1 is the correct answer.
Number: 1.
