Which numbered sense of "keep" (marked with <t></t>) is used in the context below? Return only the number of the correct sense.

Context: In the tower, five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells that first sounded here in 1614. But there is also a discordant, modern note in Aslacton, though it can not be heard by the church-goers enjoying the peal of bells this cool autumn evening. Like most of the other 6,000 churches in Britain with sets of bells, St. Michael once had its own "band "of ringers, who would herald every Sunday morning and evening service. Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond. The others here today live elsewhere. They belong to a group of 15 ringers -- including two octogenarians and four youngsters in training -- who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to <t>keep</t> the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia. "To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to scrape, "says Mr. Hammond, a retired water-authority worker. "

    *   Sense 1: "keep in a certain state, position, or activity; e.g., | synonyms=maintain, hold | examples=keep clean; hold in place".
    *   This matches the structure "keep [object] [adjective/participle]".

    *   Sense 1: keep [something] [state] (e.g., keep clean).
    *   Sense 2: keep [doing something] (e.g., keep working).
    *   The context is "keep the bells sounding". This is "keep [object] [state/activity]".

    *   Sense 1: "keep in a certain state, position, or activity" -> "keep the bells sounding". (Correct)

    *   Target word: "sounding" (from "sound").
    *   Meaning in context: The goal is to ensure the bells continue to be rung/make noise.

    *   Sense 1: appear in a certain way (e.g., "This sounds interesting") - *Incorrect.*
    *   Sense 2: make a certain noise or sound (e.g., "The gun went 'bang'") - *Possible, but usually refers to the specific noise made.*
    *   Sense 3: give off a certain sound or sounds (e.g., "This record sounds scratchy") - *Incorrect.*

    *   The phrase is "keep the bells sounding".
    *   Does it mean "keep the bells making noise" (Sense 2) or "keep the bells being caused to sound" (Sense 6)?
    *   Looking at Sense 6: "cause to sound | examples=sound the bell".
    *   Looking at Sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound | synonyms=go | examples=She went 'Mmmmm'".
    *   In the context of bells, "sounding" often means the act of ringing them. "Keep the bells sounding" means ensuring that people are there to ring them (cause them to sound).
    *   Wait, let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 6.
    *   Sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound".
    *   Sense 6: "cause to sound".
    *   If the bells are "sounding", they are making a noise. But the effort is to *keep* them sounding, meaning to keep the practice of ringing them alive.
    *   Let's look at the examples again.
        *   Sense 2: "The gun went 'bang'". (The object is the thing making the noise).
        *   Sense 6: "sound the bell". (The action of making the bell ring).
    *   In "keep the bells sounding", "sounding" is a participle describing the state of the bells. The bells are the ones making the noise.
    *   However, "sounding" in "keep the bells sounding" is often used as a synonym for "ringing".
    *   Let's check if "sounding" here means "making a sound" (Sense 2) or "being caused to sound" (Sense 6).
    *   Actually, "sounding" in "keep the bells sounding" is an intransitive use (the bells are sounding). Sense 6 is transitive ("sound the bell").
    *   Sense 2 is intransitive ("The gun went 'bang'").
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 2 again: "make a certain noise or sound".
    *   Let's look at Sense 6 again: "cause to sound".
    *   If the sentence is "keep the bells sounding", the bells are the subject of the verb "sounding".
    *   If I say "The bells are sounding", it means they are making a noise.
    *   If I say "I sound the bells", I am causing them to sound.
    *   In "keep the bells sounding", "sounding" is the state of the bells.
    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 6: "cause to sound".
    *   Actually, looking at the provided senses, Sense 2 is "make a certain noise or sound". This fits "the bells sounding".

    *   Sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound" (Intransitive). Example: "The gun went 'bang'".
    *   Sense 6: "cause to sound" (Transitive). Example: "sound the bell".
    *   In "keep the bells sounding", "sounding" is used as a complement to the object "bells". The bells are the ones doing the sounding. Therefore, it's the intransitive sense of making a noise.

    *   Wait, let me double-check. "Keep the bells sounding" means to ensure they continue to be rung.
    *   If the bells "sound", they make a noise.
    *   Sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound".
    *   Sense 6: "cause to sound".
    *   If the bells are "sounding", they are making a noise.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 2 again: "She went 'Mmmmm'; The gun went 'bang'". These are specific noises.
    *   Is there a better fit?
    *   Sense 3: "give off a certain sound or sounds | examples=This record sounds scratchy". This is more about the *quality* of the sound.
    *   Sense 4: "announce by means of a sound | examples=sound the alarm". This is transitive.
    *   Sense 6: "cause to sound | examples=sound the bell". This is transitive.
    *   In "keep the bells sounding", "sounding" is a present participle. "The bells [are] sounding".
    *   If "sounding" means "making a noise", Sense 2 is the closest.

    *   "keep the bells sounding" -> keep the bells [making a noise].
    *   Sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound".
    *   Sense 6: "cause to sound".
    *   If the bells are the ones sounding, they are making the noise.
    *   Let's check if "sound" can be used intransitively to mean "make a noise" in a general sense. Yes.
    *   Is there any other option?
    *   Sense 1: appear (No)
    *   Sense 3: quality of sound (No)
    *   Sense 4: announce (No)
    *   Sense 5: vocalize (No)
    *   Sense 6: cause to sound (No, that's transitive)
    *   Sense 7: depth (No)

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound | synonyms=go | examples=She went 'Mmmmm'; The gun went 'bang'".
    *   This sense is often used with a specific sound (like 'bang').
    *   Is there another way to interpret "keep the bells sounding"?
    *   Could it be Sense 6? "cause to sound". If "sounding" is used as a gerund or participle, could it still be Sense 6?
    *   "Keep the bells [being caused to sound]".
    *   Actually, in many dictionaries, "sound" (intransitive) means "to emit sound".
    *   Let's look at the senses again.
    *   Sense 2: make a certain noise or sound.
    *   Sense 6: cause to sound.
    *   If the bells are "sounding", they are emitting sound.
    *   Let's compare:
        "The bell sounded." (It made a noise - Sense 2)
        "He sounded the bell." (He caused it to make a noise - Sense 6)
    *   In "keep the bells sounding", the bells are the ones doing the action.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the most likely.

    *   Wait, let me think about Sense 6 again. "cause to sound | examples=sound the bell".
    *   If the phrase is "keep the bells sounding", it means "keep the bells [in the state of] sounding".
    *   If "sounding" means "making a noise", then it's Sense 2.
    *   Let's double-check Sense 2's examples: "She went 'Mmmmm'; The gun went 'bang'". These are very specific.
    *   Is there any other sense?
    *   What about Sense 4? "announce by means of a sound | examples=sound the alarm".
    *   "Keep the bells sounding" could mean "keep the bells announcing [the services]".
    *   But "sounding" here is used as a state.
    *   Let's look at the context: "effort to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries". This means to keep the tradition of ringing them alive, so that they continue to make noise.
    *   This points back to Sense 2 (make a noise).

    *   Sense 2: make a certain noise or sound.
    *   Sense 6: cause to sound.
    *   If the bells are "sounding", they are making a noise.
    *   If you "sound the bells", you cause them to make a noise.
    *   In "keep the bells sounding", "sounding" is the action the bells are performing.
    *   Therefore, Sense 2.

    *   Wait, let me search for "keep the bells sounding".
    *   It usually means to keep them ringing.
    *   "Ringing" (for a bell) means making its characteristic sound.
    *   Sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound".
    *   This seems the most plausible among the choices.

    *   Sense 1: "This sounds interesting" (appear) - No.
    *   Sense 2: "The gun went 'bang'" (make a noise) - Yes.
    *   Sense 3: "This record sounds scratchy" (give off a certain quality of sound) - No.
    *   Sense 4: "sound the alarm" (announce) - No.
    *   Sense 5: "voice" (vocalize) - No.
    *   Sense 6: "sound the bell" (cause to sound) - No, because the bells are the subject of "sounding".
    *   Sense 7: "fathom" (depth) - No.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 6 again. "cause to sound | examples=sound the bell".
    *   If the sentence was "keep sounding the bells", it would be Sense 6.
    *   But it is "keep the bells sounding".
    *   This is a "keep + object + participle" construction.
    *   "Keep the fire burning" -> the fire is burning (intransitive).
    *   "Keep the bells sounding" -> the bells are sounding (intransitive).
    *   So we need the intransitive sense of "sound" meaning "to make a noise".
    *   That is Sense 2.

        4.  To the full extent (e.g., "loyal even unto death").

    *   "To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to scrape..."
    *   Here, "even" is used to emphasize that just *one* service (a small amount/minimum requirement) is difficult to achieve. It highlights the unexpectedness or the extreme nature of the difficulty (that even a single service requires a struggle).

    *   Sense 1: "used as an intensive especially to indicate something unexpected". This fits well. "Even one service" emphasizes that it's surprising or extreme that they struggle for just one.
    *   Sense 2: "in spite of; notwithstanding". This doesn't fit. It's not "In spite of one service..."
    *   Sense 3: "to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons". There is no comparison here (no "more", "better", "worse").
    *   Sense 4: "to the full extent". This doesn't fit. It's not "to the full extent of one service".

    *   The phrase "even one" is a classic use of "even" as an intensive to emphasize a minimum or a surprising point. This aligns perfectly with Sense 1.

Context: But there is also a discordant, modern note in Aslacton, though it can not be heard by the church-goers enjoying the peal of bells this cool autumn evening.

Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond. The others here today live elsewhere. They belong to a group of 15 ringers -- including two octogenarians and four youngsters in training -- who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "We've tried to <t>train</t> the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just drift away."
    *   The context describes teaching young people how to ring church bells.
    *   The goal is to ensure there are enough ringers to keep the bells sounding.

    *   Sense 1: create by training and teaching (develop, prepare, educate). Example: "The old master is training world-class violinists."
    *   Sense 2: undergo training or instruction (prepare). Example: "She is training to be a teacher." (Intransitive/Reflexive use)

    *   Sense 11: drag loosely along a surface (trail). Example: "She trained her long scarf behind her."

    *   The context is about teaching a skill (bell ringing) to youngsters.
    *   Sense 1: "create by training and teaching" (develop, prepare, educate). This fits well.
    *   Sense 4: "educate for a future role or function" (prepare, groom). This also fits, but "grooming" often implies a specific high-level role or succession.
    *   Sense 7: "teach and supervise (someone); act as a trainer or coach (to), as in sports". Bell ringing is a skill, but not necessarily a sport. However, "coach" is a synonym.

    *   Sense 1: "create by training and teaching" (develop, prepare, educate). Example: "The old master is training world-class violinists." (Bell ringing is a specialized skill similar to playing an instrument).
    *   Sense 7: "teach and supervise (someone); act as a trainer or coach (to), as in sports".
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 7: Sense 1 is more general about teaching a skill/art, while Sense 7 is more specific to sports/coaching. Bell ringing is more of an art/skill.

    *   "We've tried to train the youngsters..."
    *   This means they tried to teach them the skill of bell ringing.
    *   Sense 1: "create by training and teaching" (develop, prepare, educate).
    *   Sense 4: "educate for a future role or function".
    *   Sense 7: "teach and supervise (someone); act as a trainer or coach (to), as in sports".

    Let's look at the examples again.
    Sense 1: "The old master is training world-class violinists." (Teaching a specialized skill).
    Sense 7: "He is training our Olympic team." (Sports coaching).

    Bell ringing is a specialized skill, much like playing the violin.

    *   Sense 1: create by training and teaching.
    *   Sense 4: educate for a future role or function.
    *   Sense 7: teach and supervise (someone); act as a trainer or coach (to), as in sports.

    The context is about teaching the skill of bell ringing to ensure the tradition continues. Sense 1 seems the most appropriate as it covers teaching a skill/art.

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 1 and Sense 7.
    Sense 1: "create by training and teaching"
    Sense 7: "teach and supervise (someone); act as a trainer or coach (to), as in sports"

    Is bell ringing a sport? No. Is it a skill? Yes.
    Is it "creating" them? Not exactly, but "training world-class violinists" is similar to "training bell ringers".

    Let's check Sense 4 again: "educate for a future role or function". This could also fit, as they are being prepared to be ringers. But Sense 1's example of violinists is very close to the skill of bell ringing.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 7.
    Sense 1: "create by training and teaching"
    Sense 7: "teach and supervise (someone); act as a trainer or coach (to), as in sports"

    Actually, looking at the provided senses, Sense 1 is the most general "teach a skill" definition.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 1 again: "create by training and teaching | synonyms=develop, prepare, educate | examples=The old master is training world-class violinists".
    This fits perfectly.

    Let's double-check Sense 4: "educate for a future role or function | synonyms=prepare, groom | examples=He is grooming his son to become his successor". This is more about preparing someone for a specific position of authority or a specific role (like a successor or a king).

    Let's double-check Sense 7: "teach and supervise (someone); act as a trainer or coach (to), as in sports". This is specifically for sports.

    Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

*   Context: A passage about church bell ringers in East Anglia. A retired worker, Mr. Hammond, mentions that youngsters have their "discos and their dances" and drift away from bell ringing.
    *   Target word: "discos" (plural of disco).
    *   Senses:
        1.  Popular dance music (disco music).
        2.  A public dance hall for dancing to recorded popular music (discotheque).

    *   Sentence: "We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their <t>discos</t> and their dances, and they just drift away."
    *   The phrase "their discos and their dances" suggests activities or places they go.
    *   "Dances" can be events or the act of dancing.
    *   "Discos" in this context refers to the events or the venues where these events happen.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 (music) and Sense 2 (dance hall/event).
    *   Usually, when people say "they have their discos," they mean they go to disco clubs or attend disco parties/events.
    *   Sense 1 is the *music* itself. You don't typically "have your music" in the sense of a social outing or a competing activity in the same way you "have your discos" (events/venues).
    *   Sense 2 is the *place* (discotheque) or the event held there.

    *   "They have their discos and their dances" $\rightarrow$ They attend disco clubs/parties and dance parties.
    *   This aligns better with Sense 2 (the venue/event) than Sense 1 (the genre of music).

    *   Sense 1: Music.
    *   Sense 2: Dance hall/discotheque.
    *   In the context of "having their discos," it refers to the social activity/venue.

    *   Wait, let me double-check. Could "discos" mean the music? "They have their [music] and their dances." That sounds less natural than "They have their [clubs/parties] and their dances."
    *   In British English, "going to a disco" or "having a disco" refers to the event/place.

    *   Sense 2 is the most appropriate.

Context: Like most of the other 6,000 churches in Britain with sets of bells, St. Michael once had its own "band "of ringers, who would herald every Sunday morning and evening service. Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond. The others here today live elsewhere. They belong to a group of 15 ringers -- including two octogenarians and four youngsters in training -- who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia. "To ring for even one service at this tower, we have to scrape, "says Mr. Hammond, a retired water-authority worker. "We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their <t>dances</t>, and they just drift away. "Mr. Hammond worries that old age and the flightiness of youth will diminish the ranks of the East Anglian group that keeps the Aslacton bells pealing.

Senses:
1. definition=an artistic form of nonverbal communication
2. definition=a party of people assembled for dancing
3. definition=taking a series of rhythmical steps (and movements) in time to music | synonyms=dancing, terpsichore, saltation
4. definition=a party for social dancing

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...they have their discos and their <t>dances</t>, and they just drift away."
    *   Target word: "dances"
    *   Surrounding words: "discos", "they have their", "youngsters".

    *   Sense 1: an artistic form of nonverbal communication (General concept of dance as an art).
    *   Sense 2: a party of people assembled for dancing (The group of people).
    *   Sense 3: taking a series of rhythmical steps (The action of dancing).
    *   Sense 4: a party for social dancing (The event).

    *   The sentence says "they have their discos and their dances".
    *   "Discos" refers to social events/parties where people dance.
    *   Therefore, "dances" in this context refers to similar social events/parties.
    *   Sense 4 ("a party for social dancing") fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 1 (art form) doesn't fit the "they have their..." structure in the context of social activities like discos.
    *   Sense 2 (group of people) doesn't fit as well as the event itself.
    *   Sense 3 (the action) doesn't fit the "they have their..." structure (you don't "have a taking of rhythmical steps" in this way).

    *   The word "dances" is used as a plural noun referring to social events.
    *   Sense 4 is "a party for social dancing".

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they <t>just</t> drift away."
    *   Target word: "just"

    *   Sense 1: and nothing more (merely, simply, only).

    *   Sense 3: only a moment ago (just now).
    *   Sense 4: absolutely (simply).

    *   Meaning: The youngsters are distracted by other activities and *simply* or *merely* drift away from the commitment of bell ringing.
    *   Does it mean "precisely"? No.
    *   Does it mean "a moment ago"? No.
    *   Does it mean "absolutely"? No (though "simply" is a synonym for both 1 and 4, "absolutely" doesn't fit here).

Senses:
1. definition=be in motion due to some air or water current | synonyms=float, be adrift, blow | examples=The leaves were blowing in the wind; the boat drifted on the lake

9. definition=be subject to fluctuation | examples=The stock market drifted upward
10. definition=be piled up in banks or heaps by the force of wind or a current | examples=snow drifting several feet high; sand drifting like snow

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "We've tried to train the youngsters, but they have their discos and their dances, and they just <t>drift</t> away."
    *   Meaning: The youngsters are losing interest, gradually leaving the activity (bell ringing) for other things (discos, dances). It's a metaphorical use of "drift away" meaning to gradually lose interest or connection.

    *   Sense 1: Motion due to air/water current (float). (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 2: Wander from a direct course or at random (stray, err). (Possible, but usually refers to a physical path or a specific topic/goal).
    *   Sense 3: Move about aimlessly/without destination (roam). (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 4: Vary or move from a fixed point or course (e.g., stock prices). (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 5: Live unhurriedly, irresponsibly, or freely (freewheel). (Close, as it relates to a lifestyle choice, but "drift away" in the context of a group usually means losing interest/connection).
    *   Sense 6: Move in an unhurried fashion. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 7: Cause to be carried by a current. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 8: Drive cattle. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 9: Subject to fluctuation. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 10: Piled up in banks (snow). (Incorrect)

    *   The phrase is "drift away".
    *   Looking at Sense 2: "wander from a direct course or at random | synonyms=stray, err". If the "direct course" is the commitment to bell ringing, "drifting away" fits the idea of straying from that path.
    *   Looking at Sense 5: "live unhurriedly, irresponsibly, or freely". This describes a general way of living, not necessarily the act of leaving a specific group.
    *   Wait, let me re-evaluate. "Drift away" often means to gradually become less friendly or close to someone or something. None of the definitions explicitly say "lose interest/connection".
    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again: "wander from a direct course or at random". This is the closest fit for "straying" from the commitment of bell ringing.
    *   Let's check if there's a better fit.
    *   Sense 1: Physical current.
    *   Sense 2: Stray/err from a course.
    *   Sense 3: Roam aimlessly.
    *   Sense 4: Vary from a fixed point.
    *   Sense 5: Live irresponsibly.
    *   Sense 6: Move unhurriedly.
    *   Sense 7: Carry by current.
    *   Sense 8: Drive cattle.
    *   Sense 9: Fluctuate.
    *   Sense 10: Pile up.

    *   "they just drift away" in this context means they gradually stop participating.
    *   Comparing Sense 2 ("wander from a direct course") and Sense 5 ("live unhurriedly, irresponsibly").
    *   Sense 2 is about the *action* of moving away from a path/course.
    *   Sense 5 is about a *lifestyle*.
    *   The youngsters are moving away from the "course" of training to be ringers.

    *   Is there another sense? Let's look at the provided list again.
    *   Sense 2: "wander from a direct course or at random | synonyms=stray, err | examples=The child strayed from the path... don't drift from the set course".
    *   This fits the metaphorical "set course" of their training.

    *   Sense 2: "wander from a direct course or at random".
    *   Context: "We've tried to train the youngsters... they just drift away."
    *   This matches the idea of straying from the path of training.

    *   Sense 5: "live unhurriedly, irresponsibly, or freely".
    *   While the youngsters might be living "irresponsibly" (discos/dances), the verb "drift away" specifically describes the act of leaving the group/activity, not the general manner of their lives.

    *   Sense 2 is the most appropriate among the choices provided.

    *   "Drift away" in this context means they are gradually leaving the activity or the group.
    *   This aligns most closely with Sense 1: "from a particular thing or place or position". They are moving "away" from the practice of bell ringing or the group of ringers.
    *   Let's double-check Sense 4 ("out of existence"). The *youngsters* aren't ceasing to exist; their *participation* is.
    *   Let's double-check Sense 10 ("in a different direction"). While they are moving in a different direction metaphorically, Sense 1 is the standard way to describe leaving a group or place.

    *   "Drift away" often means to gradually lose contact or interest.
    *   Sense 1: "from a particular thing or place or position".
    *   Example: "ran away from the lion; wanted to get away from there".
    *   In the context, they are drifting away from the church/bell ringing group.

    *   Sense 1: from a particular thing or place or position.

    *   The sentence contrasts "old age" with "the flightiness of youth".
    *   "Old age" refers to the stage of life or the state of being old.
    *   "Youth" here refers to the state of being young or the period of life characterized by youth.

        *   Sense 3: "the time of life between childhood and maturity".
        *   Sense 4: "early maturity; the state of being young or immature or inexperienced".

    *   Sense 4 (the state of being young/immature) also fits well. "The flightiness of [the state of being young/immature]".

    *   Sense 3: "the time of life between childhood and maturity"
    *   Sense 4: "early maturity; the state of being young or immature or inexperienced"
    *   Usually, "the [characteristic] of youth" refers to the period of life (Sense 3). For example, "the exuberance of youth".

    *   Target word: "ranks"
    *   Meaning in context: The number of people in the group of bell ringers.

    *   Sense 2: Relative status (e.g., military rank). (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 3: Ordinary members (rank and file), often contrasted with leadership. (Close, but usually refers to the *type* of member rather than the *total body* of members).
    *   Sense 4: Position in a social hierarchy. (Incorrect)
    *   Sense 5: The body of members of an organization or group (synonym: membership). (Correct - "diminish the ranks" means reducing the number of members in the group).

    *   The context refers to the "East Anglian group" of ringers.
