But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin. "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10, "he adds. 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.

    *   Sense 2: `make or write a comment on` (synonyms: comment, notice, point out). Example: "he commented the paper of his colleague."

    *   The writer "remarked on the 'frequency of women fainting in peals'".
    *   This is a comment made in a letter.
    *   Sense 1 is about mentioning something (often as a fact or observation).
    *   Sense 2 is about making a comment on something.

    *   "Remarked on" is a very common construction for making a comment.
    *   Sense 1: "make mention of" (e.g., "He remarked that it was raining").
    *   Sense 2: "make or write a comment on" (e.g., "He remarked on the weather").
    *   In the context, the writer is expressing an opinion/comment about the frequency of women fainting.

    *   Sense 1: `make mention of` (note, observe, mention).
    *   Sense 2: `make or write a comment on` (comment, notice, point out).
    *   The phrase "remarked on [something]" strongly aligns with "make a comment on [something]".

    *   Sense 1: "She observed that his presentation took up too much time" (remarked that...).
    *   Sense 2: "he commented the paper of his colleague" (remarked on...). Note: The example "commented the paper" is slightly awkward English (usually "commented on"), but the definition "make or write a comment on" fits perfectly.

    *   The writer is making a specific comment/observation about a perceived trend.
    *   "Remarked on" = "commented on".
    *   Sense 2 is "make or write a comment on".

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 1: "make mention of".
    *   Let me re-read Sense 2: "make or write a comment on".
    *   In the sentence "remarked on the 'frequency of women fainting'", the writer is not just mentioning it, but commenting on it.

    *   Sense 1: `remark%2:32:00::` (make mention of)
    *   Sense 2: `remark%2:32:01::` (make or write a comment on)
    *   The usage "remarked on" is the key. "Remarked that..." usually maps to Sense 1. "Remarked on..." usually maps to Sense 2.

    *   Context: "remarked on the 'frequency of women fainting...'"

    *   The speaker is commenting on how often women faint in peals.
    *   "the frequency of women fainting in peals" refers to how often this event happens.
    *   This is a general observation about the rate or oftenness of an event, not a specific statistical ratio (relative frequency) or a raw count in a formal statistical dataset (absolute frequency).

    *   Sense 1: "the number of occurrences within a given time period" / "oftenness". This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 2: "the ratio of the number of observations... to the total number of observations". This is a technical statistical term (relative frequency). While the speaker might be implying a ratio, the common usage of "frequency" in this context is "how often it happens".
    *   Sense 3: "the number of observations in a given statistical category". This is "absolute frequency". Again, too technical for the context of a letter to a newspaper.

    *   The context is a letter to a newspaper ("The Ringing World"). The writer is making a generalization about women fainting.
    *   "Frequency" here means "how often" or "the rate of occurrence".
    *   Sense 1 is the most natural fit for general usage meaning "oftenness".

    *   It mentions "a growing number of women", "more than a third of the ringers today are women", and "frequency of women fainting in peals".
    *   The context refers to adult female human beings in general, contrasting them with men in a professional/hobbyist capacity (bell-ringing).

While the text discusses women as a group, it's referring to the individuals (the ringers) who are women, rather than the abstract concept of "womanhood" or "women as a class" (e.g., "Woman is the glory of creation"). The phrase "a growing number of women" implies countable individuals.

    *   The target word "women" in "frequency of women fainting in peals" refers to adult female persons.

        *   Sense 4: "normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting".
    *   The context "traditional role of making tea at meetings" fits both, but "traditional role" usually refers to societal expectations or customary activities associated with a group (women, in this case).
    *   Looking closer at Sense 1: "assigned to or required or expected of a person or group".
    *   Looking closer at Sense 4: "normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting".
    *   "Traditional role" strongly aligns with "customary activity" (Sense 4) or "expected of a person or group" (Sense 1).
    *   In many WordNet-based datasets, "traditional role" (gender roles) is mapped to the sense of "actions and activities expected of a person or group" (Sense 1).
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 4: "normal or customary activity of a person in a particular social setting". Example: "what is your role on the team?". This feels more like a specific position or function within a small group.
    *   Sense 1 is broader and covers societal expectations ("the function of a teacher").

    *   "Traditional role of making tea" refers to the societal expectation of women.
    *   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".
    *   Comparing the two, Sense 1 is the standard definition for "gender roles" or "societal roles". Sense 4 is more about a specific role within a specific team or small group.

    *   Sense 1: `role%1:04:00::`

    *   Sense 1 (formally arranged gathering) and Sense 2 (small informal social gathering) are the most likely.
    *   Given that it's a "society" (Ancient Society of College Youths) and a "field" (bell-ringing), these gatherings are likely organized meetings of the group.
    *   Sense 1 is the standard term for organized group gatherings (like those of a society). Sense 2 is more about "get-togethers."
    *   Making tea is a common activity at organized group meetings (especially in a British context).

    *   Sense 2: "a small informal social gathering" (get together).
    *   The context mentions a "society" and a "weekly newspaper for ringers." The "meetings" are likely the organized gatherings of these ringers or their societies. This fits Sense 1 better than a casual "get together" (Sense 2) or a random "encounter" (Sense 3).

    *   Sense 5: `meeting%1:04:02`
    *   Sense 6: `meeting%1:15:00`

    The target word "meetings" refers to the gatherings of the bell-ringing society/group. This is a formally arranged gathering.

    *Self-Correction:* Is it "informal" (Sense 2)? While making tea might seem informal, the gatherings of a society are generally "formally arranged" in the sense that they are scheduled events for the members. Sense 1 is the most general and fitting term for "group meetings."

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `reply%1:10:01::`: a statement (either spoken or written) that is made to reply to a question or request or criticism or accusation (synonyms: answer, response). Example: "he wrote replies to several of his critics".
        2.  `reply%1:10:00::`: the speech act of continuing a conversational exchange (synonyms: response). Example: "he growled his reply".

    *   The context describes a series of letters in a newspaper.
    *   One person wrote a letter making a critical remark.
    *   Then there was a "torrent of replies" (letters written in response to the first letter).
    *   The "replies" here are written statements responding to a criticism/remark.

    *   Sense 1 refers to a statement (spoken or written) made to reply to a question, request, criticism, or accusation. This fits perfectly with letters written to a newspaper in response to a critical letter.
    *   Sense 2 refers to the "speech act" of continuing a conversational exchange. This is more about the immediate act of responding in a conversation (e.g., "he growled his reply").

    *   The "replies" are written letters. Sense 1 explicitly mentions "written" and "replies to several of his critics". Sense 2 is more about the act of speaking/responding in a dialogue.

    *   Sense 1 is the best fit.

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. 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. 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. One writer, signing his letter as "Red-blooded, balanced male, "remarked on the "frequency of women fainting in peals, "and suggested that they "settle back into their traditional role of making tea at meetings.

*   Target lemma: `follow`
    *   Target surface form: `followed`
    *   Context: "In the torrent of replies that <t>followed</t>, one woman ringer from Solihull observed..."
    *   Meaning: The replies came after the letter written by the "Red-blooded, balanced male."

    *   Sense 1: travel behind, go after, come after (physical movement).
    *   Sense 2: be later in time (e.g., Tuesday follows Monday).
    *   Sense 3: come as a logical consequence (e.g., It follows that...).
    *   Sense 4: travel along a certain course (e.g., follow the road).

    *   Sense 20: work in a specific place/function (e.g., He is a herpetologist).
    *   Sense 21: keep under surveillance (e.g., police following him).
    *   Sense 22: follow in pursuit (e.g., police car pursued).
    *   Sense 23: grasp the meaning (e.g., follow her argument).
    *   Sense 24: keep to (e.g., stick to principles).

    *   The "replies" came after the "letter."
    *   This is a temporal sequence.
    *   Sense 2: "be later in time" (Tuesday follows Monday).
    *   Sense 6: "come after in time, as a result" (A terrible tsunami followed the earthquake).
    *   Sense 8: "be next" (Mary plays best, with John and Sue following).

    *   Sense 2 is very general ("be later in time").
    *   Sense 6 specifically mentions "as a result." The replies were a result of the letter.
    *   Sense 8 is more about order in a sequence (like a list or a line).

    Let's re-examine Sense 6: "come after in time, as a result". The replies were triggered by the letter. This fits well.
    Let's re-examine Sense 2: "be later in time". This also fits, but Sense 6 is more specific to the causal relationship (the letter caused the replies).

    Wait, let's look at Sense 6 again: "A terrible tsunami followed the earthquake." This is a strong causal link.
    The replies followed the letter. The letter caused the replies.

    Let's check Sense 2 again: "Tuesday always follows Monday." This is just chronological.

    Is there a better one?
    Sense 8: "be next". "Mary plays best, with John and Sue following." This is more about order.

    Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 6:
    Sense 2: be later in time.
    Sense 6: come after in time, as a result.

    The replies didn't just happen to be later in time; they were a direct response to the letter. Therefore, Sense 6 is a better fit than Sense 2.

    *   Context: "In the torrent of replies that followed..."
    *   Meaning: The replies came after the letter and were caused by it.
    *   Sense 6: "come after in time, as a result".

    Wait, let me double-check if there's any other sense.
    Sense 10: "to bring something about at a later time than" (She followed dinner with a brandy). This is active (the subject brings the object). In the target sentence, the replies (subject) followed (verb) the letter (implied object). So Sense 10 is incorrect.

    Sense 6 seems the most accurate.
