*   Context: "Vicar Marshall admits to <t>mixed</t> feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself."
    *   Target word: "mixed"
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  Consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds (assorted, miscellaneous, motley, sundry).
        2.  Involving or composed of different races (interracial).

    *   The phrase is "mixed feelings".
    *   "Mixed feelings" means having conflicting emotions (e.g., both positive and negative, or feeling torn between two perspectives).
    *   In the context, Vicar Marshall is both a vicar (who might dislike the disruption of prayer) and a bell-ringer (who likes the bells). Thus, he has conflicting/different feelings.

    *   Sense 1: "consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds". While "mixed feelings" isn't exactly a "haphazard assortment" in the sense of a bag of candy, it refers to a combination of different/conflicting emotions.
    *   Sense 2: "involving or composed of different races". This is clearly incorrect.

    *   Wait, looking at the provided senses again.
    *   Sense 1: "consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds".
    *   Sense 2: "involving or composed of different races".
    *   Neither sense perfectly captures the idiomatic meaning of "mixed feelings" (conflicting emotions), but Sense 1 is the only one that deals with a combination of different things. Sense 2 is specifically about race.

    *   Is there a better sense? The prompt only gives two.
    *   "Mixed feelings" = a combination of different (often opposing) emotions.
    *   Sense 1 = "consisting of a haphazard assortment of different kinds".
    *   Sense 2 = "interracial".
    *   Between the two, Sense 1 is the only plausible choice, as "feelings" are the "different kinds" being assorted/combined.

    *   Context: "mixed feelings"
    *   Sense 1: Assorted/Miscellaneous.
    *   Sense 2: Interracial.
    *   Result: 1.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Vicar Marshall admits to mixed <t>feelings</t> about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself."
    *   Target word: "feelings"

    *   Sense 1: Experiencing affective and emotional states (e.g., euphoria, guilt).
    *   Sense 2: A vague idea, impression, belief, notion, or opinion (e.g., "what are your feelings about the crisis?").
    *   Sense 3: General atmosphere of a place or situation (e.g., "the feel of the city").

    *   Sense 6: Intuitive understanding (e.g., "feeling for music").

    *   The phrase is "mixed feelings about this issue".
    *   The "issue" is the conflict over bell-ringers exiting the church during prayer.
    *   Vicar Marshall is conflicted because he is both a vicar (who might care about the prayer) and a bell-ringer (who wants to ring the bells).
    *   "Mixed feelings" usually refers to having conflicting emotions or opinions/attitudes toward something.

    *   Sense 1 (emotional states) vs. Sense 2 (opinions/beliefs).
    *   "Mixed feelings" often straddles the line between emotion and opinion.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "what are your feelings about the crisis?" This matches the structure "feelings about [an issue/crisis]".
    *   Let's look at Sense 1: "feeling of euphoria", "feelings of guilt". These are more internal emotional states.
    *   In the context of "mixed feelings about this issue", it refers to his attitude, opinion, or emotional response to the situation.
    *   Comparing "feelings about the crisis" (Sense 2) with "feelings about this issue" (Context), they are almost identical in usage.

    *   Sense 2: "a vague idea in which some confidence is placed | synonyms=impression, belief, notion, opinion | examples=... what are your feelings about the crisis?"
    *   This fits perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: Emotional states. While "mixed feelings" involves emotion, the usage "feelings about [something]" is specifically highlighted in Sense 2.
    *   Sense 3, 4, 5, 6: Clearly incorrect.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: A dispute over church attendance and the location of the stairs from the bell tower. Vicar Marshall has mixed feelings about this "issue" because he is both a vicar and a bell-ringer.
    *   Target word: "issue"

    *   Sense 1: An important question in dispute that must be settled. (Fits well: the dispute over the stairs/attendance).
    *   Sense 2: A periodical publication. (Doesn't fit).
    *   Sense 3: A situation or event thought about (topic, subject, matter). (Fits reasonably well, but Sense 1 is more specific to a dispute).

    *   Sense 1: "an important question that is in dispute and must be settled"
    *   Sense 3: "some situation or event that is thought about | synonyms=topic, subject, matter"

    The context describes a "dust-up" (a fight or argument) over church attendance and the specific problem of the stairs. This is a point of contention or a dispute.

    *   "Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue..."
    *   The "issue" refers to the conflict between the ringers' exit and the congregation's prayer, and the broader "dust-up."

    Sense 1 specifically mentions "in dispute," which aligns perfectly with "dust-up" and the conflicting perspectives of the vicars and ringers. Sense 3 is more general. In common usage, "issue" in this context almost always refers to a problem or a point of dispute.

    *   Sense 1: "the issue could be settled by requiring public education for everyone"
    *   Sense 3: "he kept drifting off the topic"

    The "issue" here is the conflict/problem. Sense 1 is the best fit.

Context: 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, saying 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. "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. Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself. "The sound of <t>bells</t> is a net to draw people into the church, "he says. "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life. "

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The sound of <t>bells</t> is a net to draw people into the church..."
    *   Target word: "bells"
    *   Surrounding context: St. Mary's Church, bell tower, ringers, sound of bells.

    *   Sense 1: a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck.
    *   Sense 2: a push button at an outer door (doorbell).
    *   Sense 3: the sound of a bell being struck (toll).
    *   Sense 4: nautical time units.
    *   Sense 5: the shape of a bell.
    *   Sense 6: Melville Bell (person).
    *   Sense 7: Vanessa Bell (person).
    *   Sense 8: Alexander Graham Bell (person).
    *   Sense 9: percussion instrument (set of tuned bells).
    *   Sense 10: flared opening of a tubular device.

    *   The sentence is "The sound of <t>bells</t> is a net to draw people into the church."
    *   Does "bells" refer to the *sound* (Sense 3) or the *objects* (Sense 1)?
    *   The phrase is "The sound of bells". If "bells" meant "the sound of a bell being struck" (Sense 3), the sentence would be "The sound of the sound of a bell being struck", which is redundant.
    *   Therefore, "bells" refers to the physical objects (the hollow metal devices) that produce the sound.

    *   Sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck". This fits perfectly.

    *   Sense 3 is "the sound of a bell being struck". If the text said "The bells of the church rang out", "bells" could potentially be Sense 3 (metonymy), but "The sound of bells" explicitly separates the sound from the object.

    *   The word "bells" in "The sound of bells" refers to the physical objects.
    *   Sense 1 is the correct definition.

*   Context: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the <t>church</t>," he says. "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."
    *   Target word: "church"

    *   Sense 1: A group of Christians (denomination/global body).
    *   Sense 2: A place for public worship (the building).
    *   Sense 3: A service conducted in a house of worship (the event).
    *   Sense 4: The body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church (the congregation).

    *   The sentence is: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church."
    *   The context discusses bells, a bell tower, an altar, and a congregation.
    *   "Draw people into the church" could mean:
        *   Drawing them into the building (Sense 2).
        *   Drawing them into the community/congregation (Sense 4).
        *   Drawing them into the faith/denomination (Sense 1).
    *   Looking at the next sentence: "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."
    *   The "fuller life" suggests a spiritual or communal involvement, not just physically entering a building.
    *   However, "draw people into the church" is a very common idiom for getting people to attend services or join the community.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 4.
    *   Sense 2: "a place for public (especially Christian) worship" (the building).
    *   Sense 4: "the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church" (the congregation).
    *   If the bells draw people *into* the church, it usually means they are coming to the building to attend a service.
    *   But "drawn into that fuller life" implies a deeper commitment to the faith or the community.
    *   Wait, let's look at the phrasing "draw people into the church". Usually, bells ring to call people to a service (Sense 3) or to the building (Sense 2).
    *   But in the context of "drawing people into that fuller life," it sounds more like the *institution* or the *community* of believers.
    *   Let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 4 again.
    *   Sense 2: "the church was empty" (building).
    *   Sense 4: "our church is hosting a picnic" (people).
    *   "Draw people into the church" -> Does it mean "get them inside the building" or "get them to become members of the congregation"?
    *   Given the contrast between the bell-ringers (who are physically in the building but perhaps not spiritually/communally involved in the "fuller life"), the vicar is talking about bringing them into the fold.
    *   However, "draw people into the church" is most frequently used to mean the building or the service. But the "fuller life" part strongly suggests the community/faith aspect.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1: "one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship". This is usually a denomination (e.g., the Catholic Church).
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church".
    *   If the bells draw people "into the church", and the goal is a "fuller life", it's likely referring to the community/congregation (Sense 4) or the broader faith (Sense 1). But "the church" in a local context (St. Mary's) usually refers to the local congregation.
    *   Actually, looking at the sentence "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church", it's a metaphor. You don't usually "draw" people into a building with a "net" in a literal sense; you draw them into a community or a way of life.
    *   Therefore, Sense 4 (the body of people/congregation) or Sense 1 (the religious group) fits better than Sense 2 (the building).
    *   Between 1 and 4: Sense 1 is more about the denomination/global entity. Sense 4 is about the local body of people. Since the context is about a specific local church (St. Mary's), Sense 4 is more appropriate.

    *   Wait, let me double-check. Could it be Sense 2? "Draw people into the church [building]". It's possible. But the follow-up "drawn into that fuller life" makes it clear that the "church" here represents more than just bricks and mortar.
    *   Is it Sense 3 (the service)? "Draw people into the church [service]". Possible, but "into the church" is less common for "into the service" than "to church".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 4: "the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship".
    *   If the vicar is talking about the "fuller life" of faith, he might be referring to the Christian community in general (Sense 1) or the local congregation (Sense 4).
    *   Usually, "the church" in this context (local vicar talking about his local area) refers to the local congregation.

    *   "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church"
    *   "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."
    *   The "fuller life" is the key. This implies a spiritual/communal belonging.
    *   Sense 4: "the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church".
    *   Sense 2: "a place for public... worship".
    *   If I say "I want to bring more people into the church," I usually mean I want more members in the congregation.

    *   Sense 1: Denomination/Global (e.g., The Anglican Church).
    *   Sense 2: Building.
    *   Sense 3: Service.
    *   Sense 4: Local congregation.
    *   The context is a local dispute at St. Mary's. The vicar is talking about the ringers (who are already in the building) being drawn into the "fuller life" (the community/faith). This points strongly to Sense 4.

    *   Wait, let me think if Sense 2 is more likely. "Draw people into the church" (the building). If they are in the building, they might then be drawn into the "fuller life".
    *   "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church [building], [and once there] I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."
    *   This also makes sense.
    *   However, "draw people into the church" as a metaphor for conversion or joining a community is very common.
    *   Let's look at the options again.
    *   1. Christian church (denomination)
    *   2. church building
    *   3. church service
    *   4. local congregation
    *   In the phrase "draw people into the church", "the church" often refers to the community of believers.
    *   Let's search for the phrase "draw people into the church". It often refers to the community or the faith.
    *   Given the "fuller life" comment, Sense 4 is the most nuanced and fitting.

    *   Wait, let me reconsider Sense 2. If the bells are ringing, they are literally calling people to come to the building for a service.
    *   "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church [building]."
    *   Then, the vicar hopes the ringers (who are already there) will also be "drawn into that fuller life" (the spiritual side).
    *   This interpretation makes the "net" a literal (though metaphorical) call to the building.
    *   But "draw people into the church" is so often used for the congregation.
    *   Let's look at the examples:
        *   Sense 2: "the church was empty" (building)
        *   Sense 4: "our church is hosting a picnic" (people)
    *   If the bells draw people "into the church", are they being drawn into a building or a group of people?
    *   You are drawn *into* a group, but you are drawn *into* a building.
    *   Actually, "draw into" is very common for groups/communities.
    *   Let's think about the "fuller life". The "fuller life" is the goal. The "church" is the means.
    *   If "church" = building, the bells bring them to the building, and then they find the fuller life.
    *   If "church" = congregation, the bells bring them into the community, and that is the fuller life.
    *   Looking at the context of the "dust-up over church attendance", the focus is on *attendance* (people coming).
    *   Attendance refers to the act of going to the building for a service.
    *   This might lean back toward Sense 2 or 3. But you don't draw people "into" a service (Sense 3) as much as "to" a service.
    *   Let's re-read: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church".
    *   If I say "He was drawn into the cult," it means he joined the group.
    *   If I say "He was drawn into the room," it means he entered the space.
    *   "The church" can be both.
    *   However, the "fuller life" strongly suggests the spiritual community.

    *   Sense 1: Denomination. (Too broad)
    *   Sense 2: Building. (Possible, but maybe too literal)
    *   Sense 3: Service. (Less likely)
    *   Sense 4: Local congregation. (Very likely)

    *   Let's think about the phrase "draw people into the church" again. In a religious context, this almost always means bringing them into the faith or the community of believers.
    *   The "fuller life" is a common religious phrase referring to a life of faith.
    *   Therefore, "the church" here is the community of believers (the congregation).

    *   Wait, let me search for this specific quote. It's from a news story.
    *   The quote is: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church," he says. "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."
    *   In this context, the vicar is contrasting the *mechanical* act of bell-ringing (which the ringers do) with the *spiritual* act of being part of the church community.
    *   The ringers are already *in* the building (Sense 2), but they are not *in* the "church" (Sense 4 - the community of faith/congregation).
    *   This confirms that "church" in "draw people into the church" refers to the community/congregation, not the building. If it meant the building, the ringers would already be "in the church".

    *   The ringers are physically in the building (they are in the bell tower, next to the altar).
    *   The vicar says the bells draw people "into the church".
    *   He then says he hopes the *ringers themselves* will be "drawn into that fuller life".
    *   This implies the ringers are *not yet* part of that "fuller life" (the church community), even though they are physically in the building.
    *   Therefore, "the church" in the first sentence must refer to the community/congregation (Sense 4), not the building (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 4: "the body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church".
    *   This fits perfectly.

Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself. "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church, "he <t>says</t>.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church," he <t>says</t>.
    *   Target word: "says"
    *   Action: The speaker (Vicar Marshall) is expressing a thought/opinion/statement in words.

    *   1. express in words (state, tell) - *Fits well.*
    *   2. report or maintain (allege, aver) - *Usually implies a claim that might be disputed.*
    *   3. express a supposition (suppose) - *Not a hypothetical.*
    *   4. have or contain a certain wording (read) - *Not a text.*
    *   5. give instructions/direct (order) - *Not a command.*
    *   6. speak/pronounce in a certain way (articulate) - *Not about pronunciation.*
    *   7. communicate nonverbally - *He is speaking words.*
    *   8. utter aloud - *Usually refers to a specific short utterance (e.g., "Hello").*
    *   9. state as one's opinion or judgement; declare - *Possible, but "express in words" is more general and common for reporting speech.*
    *   10. recite a fixed text - *Not a prayer or poem.*
    *   11. indicate (like a clock) - *Not a device.*

    *   Sense 1: "express in words" (state, tell). Example: "He said that he wanted to marry her."
    *   Sense 9: "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare". Example: "I say let's forget this whole business."

    In the context, "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church," he says, the word "says" is used as a reporting verb for a spoken statement. This is the most basic use of "say" (expressing something in words).

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 8:
    Sense 8 is "utter aloud" (e.g., "She said 'Hello'").
    Sense 1 is "express in words" (e.g., "He said that he wanted to marry her").

    The sentence is a direct quote. In most dictionaries, the general reporting of speech falls under "express in words".

    Let's look at Sense 1 again: "express in words | synonyms=state, tell".
    The sentence "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church," he says, is a statement of his view.

    Is it Sense 9? "state as one's opinion or judgement; declare". Example: "I say let's forget this whole business." This often implies a proposal or a strong assertion.

    Is it Sense 1? "express in words". This is the standard reporting verb.

    Looking at the examples for Sense 1: "He said that he wanted to marry her". This is a report of a statement.
    Looking at the examples for Sense 8: "She said 'Hello' to everyone". This is a specific utterance.

    The quote "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church" is a full statement/thought expressed in words.

    Sense 1 is the most comprehensive and accurate fit for a reporting verb in this context.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "I <t>live</t> in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."
    *   Target word: "live"
    *   Phrase: "live in hopes"

    *   Sense 1: inhabit or live in (physical location).
    *   Sense 2: lead a certain kind of life (style/manner).
    *   Sense 3: continue to live through hardship (survive).
    *   Sense 4: support oneself (subsist).

    *   Sense 6: have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations (experience).
    *   Sense 7: pursue a positive and satisfying existence.

    *   "Live in hopes" is an idiomatic expression meaning to maintain a certain feeling or state of mind (hope) over a period of time.
    *   Looking at the senses provided:
        *   Sense 1 (inhabit) is literal/physical.
        *   Sense 2 (lead a certain kind of life) refers to style/manner. "Living in hope" is similar to "living in fear" or "living in luxury," where "in [state]" describes the condition of one's existence.
        *   Sense 6 (experience/know) is about having knowledge of a state.
    *   Wait, let's re-examine Sense 2: "lead a certain kind of life; live in a certain style".
    *   Let's look at Sense 6 again: "have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations".
    *   Actually, "live in hope" often means to exist in a state of hoping.
    *   Let's check if any other sense fits better.
    *   Sense 1: No.
    *   Sense 2: "lead a certain kind of life; live in a certain style". "Living in hope" describes the *manner* or *state* of one's existence.
    *   Sense 3: No.
    *   Sense 4: No.
    *   Sense 5: No.
    *   Sense 6: "have firsthand knowledge of states...". This is more like "I have lived through poverty."
    *   Sense 7: No.

    *   "Live in hope" is a common phrase.
    *   Does it mean "lead a certain kind of life" (Sense 2)?
    *   Example for Sense 2: "we had to live frugally after the war". "Frugally" is an adverb describing the style. "In hope" is a prepositional phrase acting as an adverbial of manner/state.
    *   Let's double-check if there's a better fit.
    *   If I say "I live in fear," "I live in hope," "I live in luxury," these all describe the *condition* or *style* of existence.

    *   Sense 2: "lead a certain kind of life; live in a certain style".
    *   "Live in hopes" fits this pattern of describing the state/manner of living.

    *   Sense 6: "have firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions, or sensations". Example: "I know the feeling!" "Have you ever known hunger?" This is more about *experiencing* something rather than *existing in a state*.

    *   Sense 2 is the most plausible among the choices provided for "live in hopes".

    *   Wait, let me look at the senses again.
    *   1. inhabit
    *   2. lead a certain kind of life/style
    *   3. survive
    *   4. subsist
    *   5. be alive
    *   6. experience
    *   7. pursue satisfying existence

    *   "Live in hope" -> "lead a life characterized by hope". This aligns with Sense 2.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "I live in <t>hopes</t> that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."
    *   Target word: "hopes" (plural of hope).
    *   Meaning in context: The speaker (Vicar Marshall) is expressing a desire or a feeling of optimism that something specific will happen (the ringers being drawn into a fuller life).

    *   Sense 1: "a specific instance of feeling hopeful" (Example: "it revived their hope of winning the pennant").
    *   Sense 2: "the general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled" (Example: "in spite of his troubles he never gave up hope").

    *   Sense 5: "United States comedian..." (Bob Hope).
    *   Sense 6: "one of the three Christian virtues".

    *   The phrase "I live in hopes that..." is a common idiom meaning "I maintain the hope that..." or "I am hopeful that...".
    *   It refers to a specific desire/expectation (that the ringers will be drawn into a fuller life).

    *   "I live in hopes that..." fits best with Sense 1 (a specific instance of feeling hopeful) or Sense 2 (the general feeling).
    *   However, "hope of winning the pennant" (Sense 1) is a specific goal/desire. "Hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life" is also a specific goal/desire.
    *   Sense 2 is more about the *state* of being hopeful in general ("never gave up hope").
    *   Looking at the phrasing "live in hopes that...", it usually refers to a specific expectation or desire.

    *   Sense 1: "a specific instance of feeling hopeful" -> "hope of winning the pennant" / "hopes that the ringers will be drawn..."
    *   Sense 2: "the general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled" -> "never gave up hope".

    The context "I live in hopes that..." refers to a specific desired outcome. This aligns most closely with Sense 1.

    *Self-Correction/Double Check:*
    Wait, let's look at the phrase "live in hopes".
    "In the hope that" or "in hopes that" usually means "with the desire/expectation that".
    Sense 1: "a specific instance of feeling hopeful".
    Sense 2: "the general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled".

    If I say "I have hopes for the future," that's general (Sense 2).
    If I say "I have hopes that he will come back," that's a specific instance (Sense 1).

    The context "hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life" is a specific instance.

    Sense 1: specific instance.
    Sense 2: general feeling.
    Sense 3: grounds/promise.
    Sense 4: person/thing.
    Sense 5: Bob Hope.
    Sense 6: Virtue.

    The usage "I live in hopes that..." is a specific instance of feeling hopeful.

    *Wait, let me re-read Sense 1 and 2 again.*
    Sense 1: "a specific instance of feeling hopeful" (Example: "it revived their hope of winning the pennant").
    Sense 2: "the general feeling that some desire will be fulfilled" (Example: "in spite of his troubles he never gave up hope").

    "I live in hopes that [specific thing]" matches the structure of "hope of [specific thing]".

    Therefore, Sense 1 is the most accurate.

    *   Meaning in context: The speaker hopes the bell-ringers will be attracted or led into a "fuller life" (likely a spiritual or religious life).

    *   1: cause to move by pulling (physical) - No.
    *   2: get or derive (benefits) - No.

    *   16: bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition (Example: "She was drawn to despair; The President refused to be drawn into delivering an ultimatum") - This looks promising. "Drawn into that fuller life" fits the pattern of being led into a certain condition or state.
    *   17: cause to flow - No.
    *   18: write a legal document - No.
    *   19: engage in drawing - No.

    *   25: take in/absorb - No.
    *   26: direct toward itself (attract) - "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church" fits this sense (attract). However, the target word is in the second sentence: "the ringers themselves will be <t>drawn</t> into that fuller life."
    *   27: thread on a string - No.
    *   28: stretch back a bowstring - No.

    *   Sense 26: "direct toward itself or oneself by means of some psychological power or physical attributes" (Example: "Her good looks attract the stares of many men").

    The first sentence says "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church" (this is Sense 26 - attracting people to a place).
    The second sentence says "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be <t>drawn</t> into that fuller life."
    "Fuller life" is a condition or state of being, not a physical location. Being "drawn into a fuller life" means being led into that condition.

    Comparing Sense 16 and Sense 26:
    Sense 16: "bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition"
    Sense 26: "direct toward itself or oneself... attract"

    "Drawn into that fuller life" fits Sense 16 much better than Sense 26.

    *   Sense 16: "bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition"
    *   Context: "drawn into that fuller life"
    *   Match: Yes.

    *   Sense 24: "cause to move in a certain direction by exerting a force upon, either physically or in an abstract sense"
    *   Sense 16 is more specific to people and conditions/actions.

    Let's re-read Sense 16: "bring or lead someone to a certain action or condition | examples=She was drawn to despair; The President refused to be drawn into delivering an ultimatum"
    This matches "drawn into that fuller life" perfectly.

Context: The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying 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. "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. Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself. "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church, "he says. "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that <t>fuller</t> life. "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, a sort of parliament of ringing groups, aims to improve relations with vicars, says John C. Baldwin, president.

*   Context: "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that <t>fuller</t> life."
    *   Target word: "fuller" (comparative of "full").
    *   Meaning in context: The speaker (Vicar Marshall) is talking about bell-ringers and hopes they will be drawn into a "fuller life." In this context, a "fuller life" usually refers to a life that is more complete, meaningful, spiritually rich, or encompassing all aspects of a good existence (likely referring to the spiritual/church life).

    *   Sense 1: containing as much or as many as is possible or normal (e.g., a full glass). -> *Physical capacity. Not fitting.*
    *   Sense 2: constituting the full quantity or extent; complete (e.g., entire town, full attention). -> *Completeness in quantity/extent. Close, but usually refers to a whole thing.*
    *   Sense 3: complete in extent or degree and in every particular (e.g., a full game, total eclipse). -> *Total/complete. Similar to Sense 2.*
    *   Sense 4: filled to satisfaction with food or drink (e.g., full stomach). -> *Satiety. Not fitting.*
    *   Sense 5: (of sound) having marked deepness and body (e.g., full tones). -> *Acoustics. Not fitting.*
    *   Sense 6: having the normally expected amount (e.g., full measure). -> *Standard amount. Not fitting.*
    *   Sense 7: being at a peak or culminating point (e.g., broad daylight, full summer). -> *Peak. Not fitting.*
    *   Sense 8: having ample fabric (e.g., full skirt). -> *Clothing. Not fitting.*

    *   The phrase "fuller life" is a common idiom meaning a life that is more complete, satisfying, or spiritually rich.
    *   Looking at the senses again, Sense 2 ("constituting the full quantity or extent; complete") and Sense 3 ("complete in extent or degree and in every particular") are the closest.
    *   However, let's re-evaluate. Is there a sense for "rich/meaningful"?
    *   Wait, let me look at the provided senses again. None of them explicitly say "meaningful" or "spiritually rich."
    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "constituting the full quantity or extent; complete".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "complete in extent or degree and in every particular".
    *   Actually, in many dictionaries, "full life" (meaning a life lived to the fullest) falls under the sense of "complete" or "comprehensive."
    *   Let's check if there's a better fit.
    *   Sense 1: Physical capacity.
    *   Sense 2: Entire/Total.
    *   Sense 3: Total/Complete.
    *   Sense 4: Food.
    *   Sense 5: Sound.
    *   Sense 6: Expected amount.
    *   Sense 7: Peak.
    *   Sense 8: Fabric.

    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 3:
        *   Sense 2: "constituting the full quantity or extent; complete" (entire town, full attention).
        *   Sense 3: "complete in extent or degree and in every particular" (full game, total eclipse).

    *   Wait, let me think about "full life" again. It often means a life that contains all the things that make life worth living. This aligns with "complete in extent or degree."

    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "entire town", "full attention".
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 3: "full game", "total eclipse".

    *   Actually, looking at the options provided, Sense 2 ("constituting the full quantity or extent; complete") seems the most plausible for "fuller life" (a life that is more complete/comprehensive).

    *   *Self-Correction:* Let me search for "full life" in a dictionary (like Oxford or Merriam-Webster).
        *   Oxford: "full" -> "complete in every way; containing all the elements of something."
        *   This matches "complete in extent or degree and in every particular" (Sense 3) or "constituting the full quantity or extent; complete" (Sense 2).

    *   Let's re-examine Sense 2 vs Sense 3.
        *   Sense 2: "constituting the full quantity or extent; complete" (Synonyms: entire, total).
        *   Sense 3: "complete in extent or degree and in every particular" (Synonyms: total).

    *   This is a very subtle difference. Let's look at the examples again.
        *   Sense 2: "entire town", "full attention".
        *   Sense 3: "full game", "total eclipse".

    *   "Fuller life" means a life that is more complete, more rich, more satisfying.
    *   If I have to choose between 2 and 3...
    *   Sense 2 is often used for "the whole of something" (entire).
    *   Sense 3 is often used for "absolute" or "complete in every detail."

    *   Wait, let me look at the senses again. Is there any other possibility?
    *   Could it be Sense 1? "containing as much or as many as is possible or normal". A "full life" could be seen as a life containing as many experiences as possible.

    *   Let's try to find this specific sense list online (it looks like it might be from WordNet).
    *   WordNet "full":
        1.  containing as much or as many as is possible or normal (full glass)
        2.  constituting the full quantity or extent; complete (full attention)
        3.  complete in extent or degree and in every particular (full game)
        ... and so on.

    *   In the context of "fuller life," it means a life that is more complete or comprehensive.
    *   Between 2 and 3, Sense 2 ("constituting the full quantity or extent; complete") is often used for things like "full attention," "full support," "full cooperation," which are more abstract than "full game" or "total eclipse."

    *   Let's re-read: "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."
    *   The "fuller life" here refers to the spiritual life of the church, which is seen as more complete or meaningful than just the act of bell-ringing.

    *   Let's check Sense 2 again: "constituting the full quantity or extent; complete".
    *   Let's check Sense 3 again: "complete in extent or degree and in every particular".

    *   Actually, "full life" is often categorized under the sense of "complete" or "comprehensive."
    *   Looking at the examples:
        *   Sense 2: "full attention" (abstract)
        *   Sense 3: "full game" (concrete/defined duration)

    *   "Fuller life" is abstract, similar to "full attention."

    *   Let's double-check Sense 1: "containing as much or as many as is possible or normal".
    *   If "full life" means a life full of experiences, Sense 1 might fit. But "fuller life" in a religious context usually means a more complete/meaningful existence.

    *   Let's reconsider Sense 2. "constituting the full quantity or extent; complete".
    *   If you have a "full life," you have a life that is complete in its extent/quality.

    *   Let's search for "fuller life" and "complete."
    *   "A full life is a complete life."

    *   Let's look at the options one more time.
    *   1. containing as much as possible (glass)
    *   2. constituting the full quantity or extent; complete (entire town, full attention)
    *   3. complete in extent or degree and in every particular (full game, total eclipse)

    *   Wait, "full attention" (Sense 2) and "fuller life" both describe the *degree* or *extent* of something abstract.

    *   Let's try to see if "fuller life" fits Sense 2 better than Sense 3.
    *   Sense 3 examples ("full game", "total eclipse") are things that have a defined end or a specific state of being "total."
    *   Sense 2 examples ("entire town", "full attention") are more about the whole of something or the complete amount of something.

    *   A "fuller life" is a life that is more complete. This fits Sense 2.

    *   *Wait!* Let me think about Sense 1 again. "containing as much or as many as is possible or normal".
    *   "A life full of joy" -> Sense 1.
    *   "A full life" (meaning a life that has everything one needs) -> Sense 2.

    *   In the context "drawn into that fuller life," the vicar is likely referring to the spiritual life of the church as being more "complete" or "meaningful" than the ringers' current lives.

    *   Let's re-verify Sense 2: "constituting the full quantity or extent; complete".
    *   This seems the most appropriate.

    *   *Self-Correction again:* Let me search for "full life" in a dictionary one more time.
    *   Cambridge Dictionary: "full" -> "complete in every way".
    *   Merriam-Webster: "full" -> "containing all that is possible or normal". (This is Sense 1).

    *   Wait, if Merriam-Webster says "containing all that is possible or normal" for "full life," then Sense 1 might be it.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "containing as much or as many as is possible or normal | examples=a full glass; a sky full of stars".
    *   "A sky full of stars" is very similar to "a life full of experiences."

    *   Let's re-read the context: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church... I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller life."
    *   The "fuller life" is the life *within the church* (the spiritual life). This life is being contrasted with the life of just being a bell-ringer. The spiritual life is seen as more "complete" or "rich."

    *   If "fuller" means "more complete," then Sense 2 or 3.
    *   If "fuller" means "containing more (spiritual) things," then Sense 1.

    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "a full glass; a sky full of stars". These are about *capacity* and *filling*.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2 again: "an entire town devastated by an earthquake; gave full attention". These are about *completeness* and *entirety*.

    *   "Fuller life" usually means a life that is more complete, not just a life that "contains more things."

    *   Let's compare "full attention" (Sense 2) and "fuller life."
    *   "Full attention" = complete attention.
    *   "Fuller life" = more complete life.

    *   This seems like a strong match for Sense 2.

    *   Let me double-check Sense 3 again: "complete in extent or degree and in every particular | synonyms=total | examples=a full game; a total eclipse".
    *   "Full game" and "total eclipse" are absolute. You can't really have a "fuller" game (unless you mean more games) or a "fuller" eclipse. But you *can* have a "fuller" life.

    *   Therefore, Sense 2 ("constituting the full quantity or extent; complete") is more likely than Sense 3.

    *   Wait, let me think about Sense 1 one more time. "containing as much or as many as is possible or normal".
    *   If you say "a full life," you often mean a life that has been lived to the fullest, containing many experiences.
    *   But in this *specific* context, the vicar is talking about the *spiritual* life of the church. He's saying the ringers are *outside* the church (just ringing the bells) and he wants them to be *inside* the church (part of the congregation/spiritual community). Thus, the "fuller life" is the *complete* life of a believer, as opposed to the *partial* life of someone who only rings the bells.

    *   This strongly points to "complete" (Sense 2).

    *   Let's quickly check other senses:
        *   4: Food (No)
        *   5: Sound (No)
        *   6: Expected amount (No)
        *   7: Peak (No)
        *   8: Fabric (No)

    *   So it's between 1, 2, and 3.
    *   Sense 1: Containing as much as possible (like a glass).
    *   Sense 2: Complete/Entire (like full attention).
    *   Sense 3: Total/Absolute (like a total eclipse).

    *   "Fuller life" = more complete life.
    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.
