Target lemma: say
Target surface form: saying
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. "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says. An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation. But there still are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells. At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance. The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, <t>saying</t> it would "reopen the wound. "But C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar.

*   Target lemma: `say`
    *   Target surface form: `saying`
    *   Context: "The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, <t>saying</t> it would 'reopen the wound.'"

    *   Sense 1: express in words (state, tell) - General expression of information.
    *   Sense 2: report or maintain (allege, aver) - Claiming something is true, often without proof.
    *   Sense 3: express a supposition (suppose) - Hypothetical.
    *   Sense 4: have or contain a certain wording or form (read) - Written text.
    *   Sense 5: give instructions to or direct somebody (order, tell) - Command.
    *   Sense 6: speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way (pronounce) - Phonetics.
    *   Sense 7: communicate or express nonverbally - Non-verbal.
    *   Sense 8: utter aloud - The physical act of speaking.
    *   Sense 9: state as one's opinion or judgement; declare - Expressing a view.
    *   Sense 10: recite or repeat a fixed text - Ritual/Prayer.
    *   Sense 11: indicate - Clocks, signs.

    *   The sentence is: "The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would 'reopen the wound.'"
    *   Here, "saying" is used to introduce the reason or the statement the vicar made to explain his refusal.
    *   It's a standard way of reporting a statement.

    *   Sense 1 (express in words/state) is the most general and fits well.
    *   Sense 2 (report or maintain/allege) is more about making a claim that might be disputed.
    *   Sense 9 (state as one's opinion or judgement) could fit, but "it would reopen the wound" is more of a statement of reason/fact from his perspective than a formal judgement or opinion on a topic.
    *   Sense 8 (utter aloud) is too focused on the physical act.

    *   "The vicar... refuses to talk about it, saying it would 'reopen the wound.'"
    *   This is a classic "reporting" use of "say".
    *   Comparing Sense 1 ("express in words") and Sense 2 ("report or maintain"). Sense 1 is the general sense of stating something. Sense 2 is more specific to allegations.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 9 ("state as one's opinion or judgement"). "It would reopen the wound" is a reason given, which is a form of stating something.

    *   Sense 1: "express in words" (synonyms: state, tell). Example: "He said that he wanted to marry her."
    *   This matches the structure "saying [that] it would 'reopen the wound'" perfectly.

    *   Sense 1 is the most appropriate general sense for reporting a statement of reason.

'So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer,' he says."
    *   Meaning: The speaker is identifying the cause or the source of the problem (the noise/disruption caused by the ringers). He believes the "fault" (the reason for the issue) lies in the design or location of the stairs.

    *   Sense 1: wrong action (mistake, error) - Not a mistake in action.
    *   Sense 2: imperfection in an object or machine (defect, flaw) - Could be a flaw in the stairs, but the context is more about the *cause* of the conflict/situation.
    *   Sense 3: quality of being inadequate (demerit) - Not about a character flaw or general inadequacy.
    *   Sense 4: geology (crack in earth) - Definitely not.
    *   Sense 5: electronics (circuit failure) - Definitely not.
    *   Sense 6: responsibility for a bad situation or event - "the fault is in the stairs" $\approx$ "the stairs are responsible for the bad situation."
    *   Sense 7: sports (illegal serve) - Definitely not.

    *   Sense 2 (defect/flaw) vs. Sense 6 (responsibility for a bad situation).
    *   The sentence says "the fault is in the stairs... 'So crunch, crunch, crunch... here come the ringers... making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer'".
    *   The "bad situation" is the disruption of the prayer service. The "fault" (the cause/responsibility) is attributed to the stairs (their location/design).
    *   In English, "the fault lies with [something/someone]" or "the fault is in [something]" often means that thing is the cause of the problem.
    *   If it were Sense 2, it would mean the stairs are physically broken (a defect). While "crunch, crunch" might imply they are noisy/broken, the broader context is about a "dust-up over church attendance" and the disruption of prayer. The vicar is explaining *why* there is a problem.
    *   Comparing "the fault is in the stairs" to "it was John's fault" (Sense 6). Both identify the source of the problem.

    *   Sense 6: "responsibility for a bad situation or event".
    *   The "bad situation" is the disruption of the service. The "fault" is attributed to the stairs. This fits perfectly.

    *   Wait, could it be Sense 2 (defect/flaw)? "the fault is in the stairs" could mean the stairs are poorly made. But the quote "making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer" suggests the *location* ("located next to the altar") is the issue, not necessarily a physical defect in the wood/stone. If the location is the problem, it's not a "defect" in the object itself, but rather the "fault" (cause) of the situation.

    *   Sense 6 is the most encompassing for "the cause of the problem".

    *   Context: "...the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar. '<t>So</t> crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above...'"

    *   The speaker (Vicar Marshall) is describing a scene.
    *   He mentions the stairs are next to the altar.
    *   He then says, "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers..."
    *   In this context, "So" is used to introduce a sequence of events or a resulting scene based on the previous statement (the location of the stairs). It's acting as a transition to describe what happens as a result of that layout.

    *   Sense 1: to a very great extent or degree (e.g., "so obvious") - No.
    *   Sense 2: in a manner that facilitates (e.g., "so he could describe") - No.
    *   Sense 3: in such a condition or manner (e.g., "remain so") - No.
    *   Sense 4: to a certain unspecified extent (e.g., "go so far") - No.
    *   Sense 5: in the same way; also (e.g., "so was he") - No.
    *   Sense 6: in the way indicated (e.g., "hold the brush so") - No.
    *   Sense 7: to an extent or degree as expressed (e.g., "so tired that") - No.
    *   Sense 8: subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) (synonyms: then, and so, and then) - This fits well. He's describing the sequence: stairs are there, *then* (so) you hear the noise and see the ringers.
    *   Sense 9: (used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result (synonyms: therefore, hence) - This also fits. Because the stairs are there, the result is the noise and the ringers' exit.
    *   Sense 10: in truth (synonyms: indeed) - No.

    *   Sense 8 (subsequently/then) vs. Sense 9 (therefore/as a result).
    *   "The fault is in the stairs... So crunch, crunch, crunch..."
    *   Is he saying "Therefore, crunch, crunch..." or "And then, crunch, crunch..."?
    *   In spoken English, "So" often introduces a narrative sequence or a scenario that follows from the premise.
    *   Looking at Sense 8: "subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)". Example: "then he left".
    *   Looking at Sense 9: "from that fact or reason or as a result". Example: "therefore X must be true".
    *   The speaker is painting a picture of the consequence of the stairs' location. "The stairs are here. [As a result/And so it goes], crunch, crunch..."
    *   Actually, in narrative storytelling, "So [event]" often functions as "And so it happens that..." or "And then...".
    *   Let's re-read: "the fault is in the stairs... <t>So</t> crunch, crunch, crunch... here come the ringers".
    *   This feels more like a narrative transition (Sense 8) or a logical consequence of the layout (Sense 9).
    *   However, "So" at the start of a sentence like this in a quote is very often a discourse marker used to introduce a scenario or a result.
    *   Comparing "then" (Sense 8) and "therefore" (Sense 9).
    *   "The stairs are next to the altar. Therefore, crunch, crunch..." (Sense 9)
    *   "The stairs are next to the altar. And then, crunch, crunch..." (Sense 8)
    *   The "crunch, crunch" is the sound of the ringers using those stairs. The sound is a direct result of the stairs being there and being used.
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 8 again: "subsequently or soon afterward".
    *   Let's look at Sense 9 again: "from that fact or reason or as a result".
    *   The "So" here is introducing the *illustration* of the problem (the "fault"). The fault is the location of the stairs. The illustration of that fault is the noise and the exit.
    *   This makes "So" function as "Consequently" or "As a result".

    *   Sense 8: "then he left; go left first, then right".
    *   Sense 9: "therefore X must be true; the eggs were fresh and hence satisfactory".
    *   In the context "The fault is in the stairs... So crunch, crunch...", the "So" is introducing the consequence/result of the stairs being in that location.

    *   Is it "And then" (Sense 8) or "Therefore" (Sense 9)?
    *   "The fault is in the stairs... [And so/Therefore] crunch, crunch..."
    *   In narrative, "So" is frequently used to start a sentence to mean "And so it happens that..." or "Consequently".
    *   Sense 9 (therefore, hence, thus) seems slightly more precise for "as a result of the stairs being there".

    *   Wait, let me look at Sense 8 again: "subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)".
    *   If I say "The stairs are there. So, [the ringers come down]", am I saying "And then they come down" or "Therefore they come down"?
    *   Actually, in this specific conversational context, "So" is often used to introduce a descriptive scenario.
    *   Let's check other sources for "so" as a discourse marker. Often it's used to introduce a summary or a result.
    *   If the "fault" is the location, the "crunch crunch" is the *manifestation* of that fault.
    *   "The fault is in the stairs... [As a result], crunch, crunch..."
    *   This points strongly to Sense 9.

    *   Sense 8: "then he left" (temporal sequence).
    *   Sense 9: "therefore X must be true" (logical consequence).
    *   The noise isn't just happening *after* the stairs are there (which would be trivial); it's happening *because* the stairs are there.

    *   Sense 9: "from that fact or reason or as a result".
    *   Fact: Stairs are next to the altar.
    *   Result: Ringers make a noisy exit right by the congregation.
    *   This fits perfectly.

    *   Meaning: The ringers are moving from the bell tower (above) down into the church area (making an exit).

    *   Sense 1: move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody.

    *   Sense 20: experience orgasm.
    *   Sense 21: have a certain priority.

    *   The sentence "here come the ringers from above" describes the physical movement of the ringers appearing or moving toward the speaker/observer's location from another place (the bell tower).
    *   Sense 1: "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody". This fits well with "here come...".
    *   Sense 2: "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress". This also fits, but "here come" usually emphasizes the approach/appearance.
    *   Sense 7: "come forth; issue forth". This also fits ("issue forth" from the tower).

    *   "Here come the [people]" is a classic construction for Sense 1 (approaching/moving toward the speaker).
    *   Sense 1: "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody".
    *   Sense 2: "reach a destination; arrive".
    *   Sense 7: "come forth; issue forth".

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "He came singing down the road; Come with me to the Casbah".
    Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "She arrived home at 7 o'clock; She didn't get to Chicago until after midnight".
    Let's look at the examples for Sense 7: "A scream came from the woman's mouth; His breath came hard".

    In "here come the ringers from above", the ringers are moving from the tower into the view/presence of the speaker. This is a movement toward the speaker's location.

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
    Sense 1 is about the *process* of moving toward/approaching.
    Sense 2 is about the *completion* of the movement (reaching the destination).
    "Here come the ringers" describes them appearing and approaching.

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 7:
    Sense 7 ("issue forth") is often used for sounds or things coming out of a source (like a scream from a mouth). While the ringers are coming out of the tower, "here come" is a very standard way to express approach (Sense 1).

    Wait, let's re-read Sense 1: "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody".
    "Here come the ringers" = "The ringers are approaching/moving toward us".

    Is there a better fit?
    Sense 10: "exist or occur in a certain point in a series". (No)
    Sense 2: "reach a destination; arrive". (Maybe, but "here come" is more about the approach).

    Let's double-check Sense 1 again. "He came singing down the road". This is very similar to "here come the ringers from above".

    Sense 1: move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody.
    Sense 2: reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress.
    Sense 7: come forth; issue forth.

    "Here come the ringers" is a present-tense observation of movement toward the speaker. This aligns best with Sense 1.

*   Target lemma: `make`
    *   Target surface form: `making`
    *   Context: "...here come the ringers from above, <t>making</t> a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer..."

    *   The phrase is "making a very obvious exit".
    *   "Making an exit" is a common idiom meaning to leave a place.
    *   In this context, the ringers are leaving the church (or the area near the altar) in a way that is very noticeable ("obvious").

    *   1: engage in (make love, make an effort) - *Possible, but "exit" isn't exactly an activity you "engage in" in the same way as an effort.*
    *   3: make or cause to be or to become (make a mess, create a furor) - *Possible, but "exit" is more of an action.*
    *   5: give rise to; cause to happen or occur (cause a commotion, make a stir) - *Similar to 3, but "exit" is the act of leaving.*
    *   16: perform or carry out (make a decision, make a move) - *This looks promising. "Making an exit" is performing the act of exiting.*
    *   24: carry out or commit (make a mistake, commit a faux-pas) - *Usually for negative things.*
    *   36: proceed along a path (work one's way through the crowd, make one's way into the forest) - *This is about the movement itself, but "making an exit" is more about the act of leaving.*

    *   "Make an exit" is very similar to "make a move" (Sense 16).
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 16: "perform or carry out" (examples: make a decision, make a move).
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 36: "proceed along a path" (examples: work one's way through the crowd, make one's way into the forest).
    *   Wait, "making an exit" is essentially "performing the act of exiting".
    *   Let's look at other options again.
    *   Sense 16: "perform or carry out" (make a decision, make a move).
    *   Sense 36: "proceed along a path" (make one's way into the forest).
    *   Is "making an exit" more like "making a move" (Sense 16) or "making one's way" (Sense 36)?
    *   "Making an exit" is a set phrase. If you "make an exit", you are performing the action of leaving.
    *   Let's check if there are other senses.
    *   Sense 16: "perform or carry out" (make a decision, make a move).
    *   Sense 36: "proceed along a path" (make one's way into the forest).
    *   Actually, "make a move" (Sense 16) can mean to leave. "It's time to make a move" often means "It's time to leave".
    *   "Make an exit" is almost identical in meaning to "make a move" in the sense of leaving.

    *   Sense 16: perform or carry out (make a decision, make a move).
    *   Sense 36: proceed along a path (make one's way into the forest).
    *   "Making a very obvious exit" describes the *manner* of the exit.
    *   If I "make a move", I am performing an action. If I "make an exit", I am performing the action of leaving.
    *   Sense 16 seems the most fitting for "make a [noun]" where the noun is an action or a decision.

    *   Sense 16: perform or carry out (make a decision, make a move).
    *   Sense 36: proceed along a path (make one's way into the forest).
    *   "Make an exit" is more about the *act* of leaving than the *path* taken to leave.
    *   Therefore, Sense 16 is the best fit.

    *   The sentence describes ringers coming from above (the bell tower) and "making a very obvious exit".
    *   "Making an exit" typically refers to the act of leaving a place.
    *   In this context, the ringers are physically moving from the tower/stairs into the church area (or out of the tower area), which is an action of leaving/going out.

    *   Sense 1: "an opening that permits escape or release" (e.g., a door). The ringers aren't "making an opening"; they are "making an exit".
    *   Sense 2: "euphemistic expressions for death". Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 3: "the act of going out". This fits perfectly. "Making an exit" = the act of leaving/going out.

    *   The phrase "making a very obvious exit" refers to the action of the ringers leaving the tower area. This aligns with sense 3.

    *   The word "says" is used here to attribute a direct quote to a person (Vicar Marshall).

    *   Sense 1: express in words (state, tell). Example: "He said that he wanted to marry her."
    *   Sense 2: report or maintain (allege, aver). Example: "He alleged that he was the victim of a crime."
    *   Sense 3: express a supposition (suppose). Example: "Let us say that he did not tell the truth."

    *   Sense 10: recite or repeat a fixed text. Example: "Say grace."

    *   The context is a direct quote: "...'So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer,' he says."
    *   This is a standard use of "say" to report speech or express something in words.
    *   Sense 1 ("express in words") is the most general and fits best for attributing a statement.
    *   Sense 8 ("utter aloud") is also close, but Sense 1 is the primary sense for reporting speech (state, tell).
    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 8. Sense 8 is often used for specific utterances (like "Hello"), whereas Sense 1 is for the content of the speech.
    *   Looking at the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "He said that he wanted to marry her" (indirect speech).
        *   Sense 8: "She said 'Hello' to everyone in the office" (direct utterance).
    *   Wait, the context is a direct quote. Let's re-evaluate.
    *   Actually, in many WordNet-style disambiguation tasks, "say" as a reporting verb for a quote is mapped to the most general "express in words" sense (Sense 1).
    *   Let's check Sense 2 (report or maintain). This is more about alleging something that might be disputed.
    *   Let's check Sense 9 (state as opinion). The quote is more of a description/complaint than a formal declaration of opinion.
    *   Sense 1 is the most fitting general sense for "he says" in this context.

    *   Sense 1: express in words (state, tell).
    *   Sense 8: utter aloud.
    *   In the sentence "he says", it's reporting the words he spoke. Sense 1 is the standard choice for this function.

    *   Sense 1: express in words.
    *   Context: "...'So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer,' he says."
    *   This is a clear instance of expressing something in words.

    *   The phrase is "mixed feelings".

    *   Looking at the candidate senses:
        *   Sense 1: "consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds". This is a general sense of "mixed" (heterogeneous). While "mixed feelings" isn't exactly a "haphazard assortment", it fits the general idea of having different/conflicting types of feelings.
        *   Sense 2: "involving or composed of different races". This is clearly incorrect in the context of "feelings".

    *   Sense 1 is the only plausible option among the two provided, as it covers the general meaning of "composed of different elements" (even if the gloss "haphazard assortment" is a bit narrow, it's the only one that fits the concept of "mixed feelings" compared to the racial sense).

    *   Wait, let me double-check if there's a better sense for "mixed feelings" in WordNet. Usually, "mixed feelings" is treated as a common idiom, but if I must choose between these two:
        *   Sense 1: heterogeneous/assorted.
        *   Sense 2: interracial.
    *   Sense 1 is definitely the correct choice here.
