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

Context: In a well-known detective-story involving church bells, English novelist Dorothy L. Sayers described ringing as a "passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection. "Ringers, she added, are "filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed. ""Ringing does become a bit of an obsession, "admits Stephanie Pattenden, master of the band at St. Mary Abbot and one of England's best female ringers. It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however. More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry. When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers <t>often</t> skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below. This does not sit well with some clerics.

Senses:
1. definition=many times at short intervals | synonyms=frequently, oftentimes, oft, ofttimes | examples=we often met over a cup of coffee
2. definition=frequently or in great quantities | synonyms=much, a great deal | examples=I don't drink much; I don't travel much
3. definition=in many cases or instances

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...ringers <t>often</t> skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below."
    *   Target word: "often"
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  many times at short intervals (frequently)
        2.  frequently or in great quantities (much, a great deal)
        3.  in many cases or instances

    *   The sentence says: "When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub..."
    *   This means that in many instances when ringers finish their work, they go to the pub. It describes a frequent occurrence or a common habit.

    *   Sense 1: "many times at short intervals" (frequently). This fits well.
    *   Sense 2: "frequently or in great quantities" (much, a great deal). This is usually used in negative or interrogative sentences (e.g., "I don't travel much"). It doesn't fit the grammatical structure or meaning here.
    *   Sense 3: "in many cases or instances". This also fits.

    *   Sense 1 focuses on frequency over time ("many times").
    *   Sense 3 focuses on the prevalence across different cases/instances ("in many cases").
    *   Looking at the sentence: "When their changes are completed... ringers often skip off to the local pub."
    *   Is it saying they do it *many times* (frequency) or that *in many cases* (prevalence) they do it?
    *   Usually, "often" in this context means "frequently".
    *   Let's re-examine the examples:
        *   Sense 1: "we often met over a cup of coffee" (frequency).
        *   Sense 3: "in many cases or instances".
    *   The sentence "ringers often skip off to the local pub" is very similar to "we often met over a cup of coffee". It describes a recurring habit.

    *   Sense 1: many times at short intervals / frequently.
    *   Sense 3: in many cases or instances.
    *   In many dictionaries, "often" is primarily defined as "frequently". Sense 3 is a nuance of frequency.
    *   Let's look at the context again: "More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry. When their changes are completed... ringers often skip off to the local pub..."
    *   "More often than not" is a strong hint towards "in many cases" (Sense 3), but the specific word <t>often</t> is used in the next sentence.
    *   "Ringers often skip off to the local pub" means they do this frequently.

    *   Sense 1: many times at short intervals.
    *   Sense 3: in many cases or instances.
    *   If I say "I often go to the gym," I mean I go frequently (Sense 1).
    *   If I say "People often forget their keys," I mean in many cases people forget their keys (Sense 3).
    *   "Ringers often skip off to the local pub" describes a habit of a group. This leans slightly towards Sense 3 (in many instances of ringers finishing their work, they go to the pub) or Sense 1 (they frequently do this).
    *   However, Sense 1 is the most standard definition of "often" as an adverb of frequency.

    *   Sense 1: many times at short intervals.
    *   Sense 3: in many cases or instances.
    *   Wait, "many times at short intervals" might be too restrictive for "often". "Frequently" is a better synonym.
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "in many cases or instances".
    *   "Ringers often skip off to the local pub" = In many instances, ringers skip off to the local pub.
    *   Actually, looking at the provided senses, Sense 1 is the most common usage for a recurring action.

    *   Sense 1: many times at short intervals (frequently).
    *   Sense 3: in many cases or instances.
    *   Example for Sense 1: "we often met over a cup of coffee".
    *   The target sentence: "ringers often skip off to the local pub".
    *   These are almost identical in structure and meaning.

    *   Sense 1: many times at short intervals.
    *   Sense 3: in many cases or instances.
    *   Is there a distinction?
    *   "Often" as "frequently" (Sense 1) vs "Often" as "commonly/usually" (Sense 3).
    *   "Ringers often skip off to the local pub" means it's a common occurrence.
    *   Let's check if Sense 3 is more appropriate for generalizations.
    *   "It is often said that..." (Sense 3).
    *   "I often wake up at 6 AM" (Sense 1).
    *   "Ringers often skip off to the local pub" is a generalization about ringers' behavior.
    *   However, the example for Sense 1 ("we often met over a cup of coffee") is also a description of a recurring habit.

    *   Sense 1: many times at short intervals.
    *   Sense 3: in many cases or instances.
    *   If the sentence is "Ringers often skip off to the local pub," it means that on many occasions when they finish ringing, they go to the pub. This fits both 1 and 3.
    *   But "many times at short intervals" (Sense 1) is a very close match for "frequently".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "in many cases or instances".
    *   Actually, "often" in "ringers often skip off" is describing the frequency of the action.

    *   Sense 1: many times at short intervals.
    *   Sense 3: in many cases or instances.
    *   Looking at the context "More often than not, ringers think...", this phrase means "usually" or "in most cases".
    *   The following sentence "ringers often skip off..." continues this theme of general behavior.
    *   If I have to choose between "many times" and "in many cases", "in many cases" (Sense 3) often fits these general descriptions of a group's habits better.
    *   Wait, let's look at the example for Sense 1 again: "we often met over a cup of coffee". This is a habit.
    *   "Ringers often skip off to the local pub" is also a habit.

    *   Sense 1: many times at short intervals.
    *   Sense 3: in many cases or instances.
    *   Let's try to find a difference.
    *   "I often go to the store" (Sense 1 - frequency).
    *   "The symptoms are often mild" (Sense 3 - in many cases).
    *   "Ringers often skip off to the local pub" is more like "I often go to the store" than "The symptoms are often mild". It's an action performed frequently.

    *   Sense 1: many times at short intervals.
    *   Sense 3: in many cases or instances.
    *   Actually, "many times at short intervals" is a bit of a weird definition for "often". "Frequently" is better.
    *   Let's look at the provided synonyms for Sense 1: "frequently, oftentimes, oft, ofttimes".
    *   "Ringers frequently skip off to the local pub." (Perfect fit).
    *   "Ringers in many cases skip off to the local pub." (A bit clunky).

    *   Sense 1 is the most natural fit for an action performed frequently.

*   Context: "...ringers often <t>skip</t> off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below."
    *   Meaning: The ringers leave the church quickly and lightheartedly to go to the pub.

    *   Sense 1: bypass (e.g., skip a row). -> Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 2: intentionally fail to attend (e.g., skip class). -> Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 3: jump lightly (e.g., hop, hop-skip). -> This describes a way of moving (lightly, happily).
    *   Sense 4: leave suddenly (e.g., decamp, vamoose). -> This describes leaving, but usually implies escaping or leaving secretly/suddenly.
    *   Sense 5: bound off one point after another. -> Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 6: cause to skip over a surface (e.g., skip a stone). -> Doesn't fit.

    *   "skip off to the local pub"
    *   Does it mean "jump lightly" (Sense 3) or "leave suddenly" (Sense 4)?
    *   "Skip off" is a common phrasal verb meaning to leave in a lighthearted, quick, or cheerful manner.
    *   Looking at Sense 3: "jump lightly".
    *   Looking at Sense 4: "leave suddenly" (synonyms: decamp, vamoose). "Decamp" and "vamoose" are much stronger and more about escaping than "skipping off to the pub".
    *   In English, "skip off" often implies a light, bouncy gait associated with happiness or lack of seriousness. This aligns best with the physical action of "jumping lightly" (Sense 3) used metaphorically or literally to describe a cheerful departure.

    *   Wait, let me re-evaluate Sense 3 vs Sense 4.
    *   Sense 3: jump lightly.
    *   Sense 4: leave suddenly (decamp, vamoose).
    *   "Skip off" usually means to leave quickly and happily.
    *   If I look at the phrase "skip off to the pub", it's not really "decamping" (which implies fleeing or leaving a place permanently/secretly). It's more about the manner of leaving.
    *   However, is "skip" in "skip off" primarily about the *jump* or the *leaving*?
    *   Actually, "skip off" is often used to mean "leave quickly/happily".
    *   Let's check if there's a better fit.
    *   Sense 3: jump lightly.
    *   Sense 4: leave suddenly.
    *   If someone "skips off", they are moving in a skipping motion (Sense 3) as they leave.
    *   Let's compare "skip town" (Sense 4) with "skip off to the pub". "Skip town" means to leave secretly to avoid something. "Skip off to the pub" doesn't mean that.
    *   Therefore, Sense 3 (jump lightly/hop) is the most likely intended meaning, describing the lighthearted way they leave.

    *   "skip off" = to leave a place in a lighthearted or hurried way.
    *   Sense 3: jump lightly.
    *   Sense 4: leave suddenly (decamp, vamoose).
    *   "Decamp" and "vamoose" are very different from "skip off to the pub".
    *   "Skip" as in "skipping along" is Sense 3.

    *   Sense 1: Bypass (No)
    *   Sense 2: Fail to attend (No)
    *   Sense 3: Jump lightly (Yes, "skip off" implies a light, bouncy movement)
    *   Sense 4: Leave suddenly/decamp (No, too strong/different connotation)
    *   Sense 5: Bound off one point (No)
    *   Sense 6: Skim a surface (No)

    *   "Skip off" is a common expression. While it means "to leave", the "skip" part refers to the light, bouncy movement. Sense 3 is the most accurate description of the action "skip".

    *   Wait, let me double-check if "skip" in "skip off" could be Sense 4.
    *   Sense 4: "leave suddenly | synonyms=decamp, vamoose | examples=She persuaded him to decamp; skip town".
    *   "Skip town" is a specific idiom. "Skip off" is different.
    *   "Skip off" = to leave in a cheerful or hurried way.
    *   This is much closer to the physical action of skipping (Sense 3).

    *   Context: "...ringers often skip off to the local pub..."
    *   This implies a lighthearted departure.
    *   Sense 3: jump lightly.
    *   Sense 4: leave suddenly (decamp).
    *   The connotation of "skip off" is lightheartedness, not sudden flight.

    *   Sense 3 is the best fit.

    *   Target word: "leaving" (from "leave").
    *   Meaning in context: The ringers go to the pub, and as a result, they are no longer participating in or present for the worship happening below. They are abandoning or departing from the activity/place of worship.

    *   1. go away from a place (general departure).
    *   2. go and leave behind (intentionally or neglectfully).
    *   3. act or be so as to become in a specified state (e.g., left them penniless).

    *   12. be survived by after death.
    *   13. transmit knowledge or skills.
    *   14. leave behind unintentionally (forget).

    *   The ringers are "skipping off to the local pub," which means they are departing from the church/worship.
    *   "Leaving worship for others below" suggests they are abandoning the activity of worship or the place where it occurs.
    *   Sense 1 (go away from a place) and Sense 5 (move out of or depart from) are similar.
    *   Sense 2 (go and leave behind) also seems plausible: they go to the pub and leave the worship behind for others.
    *   Sense 8 (remove oneself from an association with or participation in) fits well because they are removing themselves from the participation in worship.

    *   Sense 1: "go away from a place" (e.g., "train leave").
    *   Sense 2: "go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness" (e.g., "left a mess").
    *   Sense 5: "move out of or depart from" (e.g., "leave the room").
    *   Sense 8: "remove oneself from an association with or participation in" (e.g., "leave home").

    Wait, let's look at the phrase "leaving worship for others below."
    They are leaving the *activity* (worship) to be done by others.
    This sounds like they are leaving something behind for others to handle or experience.

    Let's re-examine Sense 2: "go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness."
    Example: "She left a mess when she moved out."
    In the context, they are leaving the worship (the activity/the state of worshiping) behind for others.

    Let's re-examine Sense 5: "move out of or depart from."
    Example: "leave the room."
    They are departing from the worship? Not exactly. They are departing from the *place* of worship.

    Let's re-examine Sense 8: "remove oneself from an association with or participation in."
    Example: "She wants to leave; The teenager left home."
    They are removing themselves from the participation in worship.

    Let's look at the structure: "leaving worship for others below."
    This is very similar to "leaving the cleaning for someone else" or "leaving the hard work for others."
    This implies leaving a task or a state for someone else to deal with.

    Does Sense 2 cover this? "go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness."
    If you leave a mess, you leave it behind. If you leave worship for others, you leave the activity behind.

    Let's check if there's a better sense.
    Sense 4: "leave unchanged or undisturbed or refrain from taking." (No)
    Sense 9: "put into the care or protection of someone." (No)

    Let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 8 again.
    Sense 2: "go and leave behind"
    Sense 8: "remove oneself from an association with or participation in"

    "Leaving worship for others below" means they are not participating in it, and they are leaving that activity to the people who remain.

    Wait, let's look at Sense 2 again. "She left a mess when she moved out." This is leaving an object or a state behind.
    "Leaving worship for others" is leaving the *act* of worship behind.

    Let's consider Sense 5 again. "move out of or depart from."
    If "worship" is treated as the place (the service), then they are departing from it.

    Let's look at the phrase "leave [something] for [someone]."
    "I'll leave the dishes for you." (Sense 2 - leave behind)
    "I'll leave the worship for others." (Sense 2 - leave behind)

    Let's double-check Sense 2's definition: "go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness."
    This fits the pattern "leave [something] for [someone]."

    Let's check Sense 8 again: "remove oneself from an association with or participation in."
    This usually applies to a group, a job, or a home. "Leave the party," "Leave the company."

    Is "worship" a place or an activity here?
    "leaving worship for others below"
    Worship is the activity. They are leaving the activity to be performed by others.

    Comparing "leave a mess" (Sense 2) and "leave worship for others":
    In both cases, something is left behind for someone else to deal with or be in that state.

    Let's re-read the context: "ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below."
    They are departing (skipping off to the pub) and as a result, they are leaving the worship behind for the others.

    Sense 2: "go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness"
    Sense 5: "move out of or depart from"

    If they were "leaving the church," it would be Sense 5.
    But they are "leaving worship."

    Let's look at Sense 2 again. "His good luck finally left him." (Wait, that's a different usage of "leave behind").
    "She left a mess when she moved out." (This is the "leave behind" meaning).

    Is there any other sense?
    Sense 1: "go away from a place"
    Sense 5: "move out of or depart from"

    If "worship" is used as a shorthand for "the worship service" (a place/event), then Sense 5 could work. But "leaving [something] for [someone]" is a very strong indicator of Sense 2.

    Let's test Sense 2: "They left the cleaning for the maid." (They left it behind for her).
    "They left the worship for others." (They left it behind for them).

    This seems to fit best.

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 2: "go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness."
    Example: "She left a mess when she moved out."
    This matches the structure "leave [something] [for someone/somewhere]."

    Let's double-check Sense 5: "move out of or depart from."
    Example: "leave the room."
    If the sentence was "leaving the worship service," it might be Sense 5. But "leaving worship for others" implies the act of leaving something behind.

    Let's consider Sense 8 again: "remove oneself from an association with or participation in."
    "He left the church" (meaning the organization).
    "He left the worship" (meaning he stopped participating).
    But the "for others below" part strongly suggests Sense 2.

    Let's re-verify Sense 2 one more time.
    "go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness"
    "leaving worship for others below"
    Yes, they are intentionally leaving the activity of worship behind for others to do.

    Wait, let me look at the examples for Sense 2 again.
    "She left a mess when she moved out."
    "His good luck finally left him."
    The first example is exactly the "leave [something] behind" pattern.

    Let's check Sense 5 again.
    "leave the room"
    "the fugitive has left the country"
    These are about departing from a physical location.

    "Worship" can be a location (the service), but "leaving worship for others" is more about the activity.

    Let's think about "leave it to someone."
    "I'll leave the cooking to you."
    Is that Sense 2 or Sense 9?
    Sense 9: "put into the care or protection of someone | synonyms=entrust | examples=He left the decision to his deputy."
    "Leaving worship for others" isn't exactly entrusting it to them; it's more like abandoning it to them.

    Let's compare Sense 2 and Sense 9.
    Sense 2: "leave behind" (like a mess)
    Sense 9: "entrust" (like a decision)
    "Leaving worship for others" is more like "leaving the mess for others" than "entrusting the decision to others." They aren't *assigning* the worship to the others; they are just not doing it themselves and letting the others do it.

    Wait, let me re-read the context again.
    "ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below."
    This means they are departing and, as a result, the worship is left to the others.

    Let's look at Sense 2 again. "go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness."
    This fits. They go (to the pub) and leave behind (the worship) for others.

    Let's double-check Sense 5 one more time. "move out of or depart from."
    If you "leave the party," you are departing from it.
    If you "leave worship," you are departing from it.
    But "leaving worship *for others*" adds that extra layer of leaving it behind.

    Let's search for "leave [activity] for [someone]."
    "I'll leave the dishes for you." (Sense 2)
    "I'll leave the cleaning for tomorrow." (Sense 2)
    "I'll leave the worship for others." (Sense 2)

    This seems the most consistent.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 8 again. "remove oneself from an association with or participation in."
    "The teenager left home."
    "She wants to leave [her job]."
    This is about a permanent or semi-permanent break. The ringers are just skipping one service.

    So, Sense 2 seems the most likely.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 5: "move out of or depart from."
    If "worship" is the event, "leaving worship" means departing from the event.
    "leaving worship for others below"
    Could it be "departing from worship [and leaving it] for others below"?
    No, the "leaving [something] for [someone]" structure is a single unit.

    Let's check Sense 2 again.
    "She left a mess when she moved out."
    "They left the worship for others."
    Both follow the pattern: [Subject] [left] [Object] [Condition/Recipient].

    Let's check Sense 1: "go away from a place."
    "At what time does your train leave?"
    Not this one.

    Let's check Sense 3: "act or be so as to become in a specified state."
    "The inflation left them penniless."
    Not this one.

    Let's check Sense 4: "leave unchanged or undisturbed."
    "leave it as is."
    Not this one.

    Let's check Sense 6: "make a possibility or provide opportunity for."
    "This leaves no room for improvement."
    Not this one.

    Let's check Sense 7: "have as a result or residue."
    "The water left a mark."
    Not this one.

    Let's check Sense 9: "put into the care or protection of someone."
    "He left the decision to his deputy."
    This is close, but "leaving worship for others" isn't really entrusting it.

    Let's check Sense 11: "have left or have as a remainder."
    "19 minus 8 leaves 11."
    Not this one.

    Let's check Sense 14: "leave behind unintentionally."
    "I left my keys inside the car."
    Not this one (they are doing it intentionally).

    So, it's between Sense 2, Sense 5, and Sense 8.
    Sense 5: "move out of or depart from" (e.g., leave the room).
    Sense 8: "remove oneself from an association with or participation in" (e.g., leave home).
    Sense 2: "go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness" (e.g., leave a mess).

    "Leaving worship for others below"
    If you "leave the room for others," you are departing (Sense 5) and also leaving the room for others to use (Sense 2).
    But "leaving worship" (the activity) is more like "leaving the work" or "leaving the mess."

    Let's think about the phrase "leave it to someone."
    "I'll leave the worship to the others."
    That would be Sense 9 (entrust).
    But the text says "leave worship *for* others."
    "Leave [something] for [someone]" is more like Sense 2.

    Let's re-read Sense 2: "go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness."
    Example: "She left a mess when she moved out."
    This fits the "leave [something] for [someone]" pattern perfectly.

    Final check:
    Context: "...ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below."
    Meaning: They depart and leave the activity of worship behind for the other people.
    Sense 2: "go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness."
    This matches.

However, Sense 1 is the most general and accurate description of being in a lower place. Let's re-evaluate Sense 4. "Downstairs" usually implies a building's internal floor structure. While a church has floors, the belfry is a distinct high point. "Below" in this context means "down in the church" compared to "up in the tower."
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 4: Sense 1 is "in or to a place that is lower." Sense 4 is "on a floor below."

    The ringers are in the belfry; the worshippers are in the church. The church is lower than the belfry. Sense 1 is the most accurate.

        *   Sense 13: "without unusual distress or resentment; with good humor". This is often used with "take" (e.g., "took the news well"). "Sit well" is very similar to "take well" in this context.

    *   "Sit well with someone" means to be acceptable to them.
    *   If it "does not sit well," it is not acceptable/not viewed favorably.
    *   Sense 6: "favorably; with approval".
    *   Sense 13: "without unusual distress or resentment; with good humor".

    Let's re-evaluate "sit well".
    Example: "The idea didn't sit well with me." = I didn't like the idea / I didn't approve of it.
    This aligns closely with Sense 6 (favorably; with approval).

    Wait, let's check Sense 13 again: "without unusual distress or resentment; with good humor".
    Example: "He took the news well."
    "Sit well" is slightly different from "take well," although they are related. "Sit well" usually refers to how an idea or situation is perceived/accepted.

    Let's look at Sense 6 again: "favorably; with approval".
    If something "sits well" with someone, they view it favorably. If it "does not sit well," they do not view it favorably.

    Let's double-check if there's a better fit.
    Sense 1: "in a good or proper or satisfactory manner". (Doesn't fit "sit well with").
    Sense 13: "without unusual distress or resentment". (Usually used with "take").

    Comparing Sense 6 and Sense 13:
    "Sit well with" $\approx$ "be acceptable to" $\approx$ "be viewed favorably by".
    Sense 6: "favorably; with approval".

    Let's check a dictionary for "sit well".
    Merriam-Webster: "sit well" (often used with "not") - to be acceptable.
    Oxford: "sit well with someone" - to be acceptable to someone.

    If "sit well" means "be acceptable," then "not sit well" means "not be acceptable" or "not be viewed favorably."

    Sense 6: "favorably; with approval".
    Sense 13: "without unusual distress or resentment; with good humor".

    If I say "The news didn't sit well with him," it means he didn't like it or didn't approve of it. This is closer to "favorably/with approval" (Sense 6) than "with good humor" (Sense 13), although they are very close. However, "sit well" is more about the *acceptance* or *approval* of a situation than the *emotional reaction* (distress/resentment) of a person receiving news.

    Let's re-read Sense 6: "favorably; with approval".
    Example: "their neighbors spoke well of them" (spoke favorably).
    "This does not sit well with some clerics" $\rightarrow$ "This is not viewed favorably by some clerics."

    Let's re-read Sense 13: "without unusual distress or resentment; with good humor".
    Example: "took the joke well".
    "This does not sit well with some clerics" $\rightarrow$ "This is not taken without resentment by some clerics."

    Actually, "sit well with" is almost synonymous with "take well". But "sit well" is more about the *state* of the idea in the mind of the person, whereas "take well" is about the *reaction* to the news.

    Let's look at the options again.
    Sense 6: favorably; with approval.
    Sense 13: without unusual distress or resentment.

    If something "sits well" with you, you approve of it. If it "doesn't sit well," you don't approve of it.
    If you "take something well," you don't get upset.

    In the context: "strong-willed vicars are pressing... ringers to attend services." This suggests a lack of approval/acceptance of the ringers' behavior.

    Let's search for "sit well" in a dictionary again.
    Cambridge Dictionary: "if something sits well with you, you find it acceptable."
    Acceptable $\approx$ viewed favorably.

    Let's check Sense 6 again: "favorably; with approval".
    This seems like the best fit.

    Wait, let me double-check Sense 13 one more time. "without unusual distress or resentment; with good humor".
    If something "doesn't sit well," it often causes resentment.

    Let's compare:
    "The decision didn't sit well with the staff." (They didn't approve/like it).
    "The staff didn't take the decision well." (They reacted poorly/with resentment).

    These are very similar. But "sit well" is more about the *compatibility* or *acceptability* of the situation.

    Let's look at the provided senses again.
    Sense 6: favorably; with approval.
    Sense 13: without unusual distress or resentment; with good humor.

    If I have to choose between "approval" and "without resentment," "approval" (Sense 6) feels slightly more accurate for "sit well with."

    Let's try to find "sit well" in a corpus or dictionary that maps to these specific sense numbers (these look like WordNet senses).
    WordNet "well" (adverb):
    - well%1: in a good, proper, or satisfactory manner...
    - well%2: thoroughly...
    - well%3: in all likelihood...
    - well%4: entirely or fully...
    - well%5: to a suitable or appropriate extent or degree...
    - well%6: favorably; with approval...
    - well%7: to a great extent or degree...
    - well%8: with great or especially intimate knowledge...
    - well%9: with prudence or propriety...
    - well%10: with skill or in a pleasing manner...
    - well%11: in a manner affording benefit or advantage...
    - well%12: in financial comfort...
    - well%13: without unusual distress or resentment; with good humor...

    Looking at WordNet's examples for well%6: "speak well of", "think well of".
    Looking at WordNet's examples for well%13: "take the joke well", "take the news well".

    "Sit well with" is very similar to "take well".
    "The news didn't sit well with him" $\approx$ "He didn't take the news well."

    However, "sit well with" is often used for ideas, situations, or behaviors (like the ringers skipping church), whereas "take well" is often used for news or jokes.

    Let's re-examine: "This does not sit well with some clerics."
    "This" = the fact that ringers skip off to the pub.
    Does this "not sit well" (not viewed favorably/not approved of) or "not taken well" (not accepted without resentment)?

    Actually, "sit well with" is almost always used to mean "be acceptable to."
    If something is not acceptable, it is not viewed favorably.

    Let's look at Sense 6 again: "favorably; with approval".
    If something "sits well," it is viewed favorably.

    Let's look at Sense 13 again: "without unusual distress or resentment".
    If something "sits well," it is accepted without resentment.

    This is a tough one. Let's think about the most common usage.
    "Sit well with" $\rightarrow$ "be acceptable to".
    "Take well" $\rightarrow$ "react to something without being upset".

    If the ringers' behavior "does not sit well" with the clerics, the clerics do not approve of it.
    Approval = Sense 6.

    Let's double-check Sense 6 examples: "their neighbors spoke well of them" (spoke favorably), "he thought well of the book" (thought favorably).
    "Sit well with" $\approx$ "be thought well of by".

    Let's double-check Sense 13 examples: "took the joke well", "took the tragic news well".
    These are reactions to a specific event/piece of news.

    The ringers' habit is a general situation, not a single piece of news. Therefore, Sense 6 (approval/favorably) seems more appropriate than Sense 13 (reaction to news/joke).

    Wait, let me search for "sit well with" and "WordNet".
    Some sources map "sit well with" to the sense of "be acceptable" or "be agreeable."
    "Agreeable" is closer to "favorably/with approval" (Sense 6).

    Let's re-read: "This does not sit well with some clerics."
    It means the clerics do not approve of this behavior.
    Sense 6: "favorably; with approval".

    Final check:
    Sense 6: favorably; with approval.
    Sense 13: without unusual distress or resentment.
    "Sit well with" = be acceptable/agreeable.
    "Take well" = react without distress.
    The context is about the clerics' approval of the ringers' behavior.

    Therefore, Sense 6 is the most likely answer.

    *   The phrase is "steadily dwindling".
    *   "Dwindling" refers to a gradual decrease in size, amount, or strength.
    *   "Steadily" here describes the *rate* or *pace* at which the membership is decreasing. It means it's happening consistently over time.

    *   Sense 1: "at a steady rate or pace". This fits perfectly. The membership is decreasing at a consistent rate.
    *   Sense 2: "in a steady manner" (synonym: steady). This usually refers to physical stability or lack of shaking (e.g., walking steadily, holding a hand steadily). This does not fit the context of membership numbers decreasing.

    *   Sense 1 is the correct match.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...strong-willed vicars are <t>pressing</t> equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services."
    *   Target word: "pressing" (from "press").
    *   Meaning in context: The vicars are trying to persuade, urge, or force the ringers to attend services.

    *   Sense 1: Exert physical pressure/force (e.g., press down on boards). -> No.
    *   Sense 2: Force or impel in an indicated direction; urge, urge on, exhort (e.g., urged him to finish studies). -> This fits well. The vicars are urging/impelling the ringers to attend services.
    *   Sense 3: Be oppressive or burdensome (e.g., weigh heavily on the mind). -> No.
    *   Sense 4: Place between two surfaces (e.g., pressed flowers). -> No.
    *   Sense 5: Squeeze or press together (e.g., compressed lips). -> No.
    *   Sense 6: Crowd closely (e.g., crowds pressed along the street). -> No.
    *   Sense 7: Create by pressing (e.g., press holes into clay). -> No.
    *   Sense 8: Be urgent (e.g., pressing problem). -> No (this is an adjective use, and the context is a verb).
    *   Sense 9: Exert oneself continuously to gain an end/crusade (e.g., pushed for reforms). -> This is close, but usually refers to a cause or a policy rather than urging specific individuals to do a specific action like attending a service.
    *   Sense 10: Press from a plastic (e.g., press a record). -> No.
    *   Sense 11: Pushing during birth. -> No.
    *   Sense 12: Ironing clothes. -> No.
    *   Sense 13: Weight-lifting. -> No.
    *   Sense 14: Ask for or request earnestly (e.g., bid, beseech, entreat). -> This is also close, but "pressing" in the context of "pressing someone to do something" usually aligns more with "urging" or "impelling" (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 2: "force or impel in an indicated direction | synonyms=urge, urge on, exhort"
    *   Sense 14: "ask for or request earnestly | synonyms=bid, beseech, entreat, adjure, conjure"
    *   Context: "strong-willed vicars are pressing... ringers to attend services."
    *   "Pressing someone to do something" is a common idiom meaning to urge them strongly. Sense 2 explicitly lists "urge" and "exhort". Sense 14 is more about a formal or desperate request (beseech, entreat). The context suggests a more insistent, perhaps slightly forceful, urging.

    *   Sense 2: "force or impel in an indicated direction | synonyms=urge, urge on, exhort"
    *   Example: "I urged him to finish his studies" matches "vicars are pressing... ringers to attend services" perfectly.

    *   It means "frequently" in the sense of "in many instances" or "commonly".

*   Context: "...the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, <t>got</t> so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band..."
    *   Target word: "got"
    *   Phrase: "got so fed up"

    *   "Fed up" is a state of being annoyed, bored, or disappointed.
    *   "Got so fed up" means the person *became* so fed up.

    *   1: come into possession (acquire) - No.
    *   2: enter or assume a certain state or condition (become, go) - Yes. Example: "He became annoyed when he heard the bad news." ("Fed up" is a state of annoyance).

    *   4: receive treatment - No.
    *   5: reach destination - No.
    *   6: bring/fetch - No.
    *   7: go through mental/physical states (experience) - Close, but "got fed up" is more about *becoming* that way (transition to a state) than just experiencing it. Let's re-evaluate Sense 2 vs Sense 7.

    *   Sense 2: "enter or assume a certain state or condition | synonyms=become, go".

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

Context: It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however. More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry. When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below. This does not sit well with some clerics. With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got <t>so</t> 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.

Senses:
1. definition=to a very great extent or degree | examples=the idea is so obvious; never been so happy
2. definition=in a manner that facilitates | examples=he observed the snakes so he could describe their behavior; he stooped down so he could pick up his hat
3. definition=in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied | examples=They're happy and I hope they will remain so; so live your life that old age will bring no regrets
4. definition=to a certain unspecified extent or degree | examples=I can only go so far with this student; can do only so much in a day
5. definition=in the same way; also | examples=I was offended and so was he; worked hard and so did she
6. definition=in the way indicated; ; ; (`thusly' is a nonstandard variant) | synonyms=thus, thusly | examples=hold the brush so; set up the pieces thus
7. definition=(usually followed by `that') to an extent or degree as expressed | examples=he was so tired he could hardly stand; so dirty that it smells
8. definition=subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors) | synonyms=then, and so, and then | examples=then he left; go left first, then right
9. definition=(used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result | synonyms=therefore, hence, thence, thus | examples=therefore X must be true; the eggs were fresh and hence satisfactory
10. definition=in truth (often tends to intensify) | synonyms=indeed | examples=they said the car would break down and indeed it did; it is very cold indeed

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got <t>so</t> fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band..."
    *   Target word: "so"
    *   Structure: "...got so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service [that] he sacked the entire band..." (Note: the "that" is omitted, which is common in English).

    *   Sense 1: to a very great extent or degree (e.g., "so obvious").
    *   Sense 2: in a manner that facilitates (e.g., "so he could describe").
    *   Sense 3: in such a condition or manner (e.g., "remain so").
    *   Sense 4: to a certain unspecified extent or degree (e.g., "go so far").
    *   Sense 5: in the same way; also (e.g., "so was he").
    *   Sense 6: in the way indicated (e.g., "hold the brush so").
    *   Sense 7: (usually followed by 'that') to an extent or degree as expressed (e.g., "so tired he could hardly stand").
    *   Sense 8: subsequently or soon afterward (e.g., "and so").
    *   Sense 9: (used to introduce a logical conclusion) (e.g., "therefore").
    *   Sense 10: in truth (e.g., "indeed").

    *   The phrase is "got so fed up... [that] he sacked the entire band".
    *   This matches the pattern "so [adjective] [that] [result]".
    *   Sense 7 specifically mentions "(usually followed by 'that') to an extent or degree as expressed" and gives the example "he was so tired he could hardly stand".
    *   This is a perfect match.

    *   Sense 1 is "to a very great extent or degree", but it doesn't typically introduce a result clause like Sense 7 does.
    *   Sense 7 is specifically for the "so... that..." construction.
