*   Context: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in <t>church</t> life and experience."
    *   Target word: "church" (in the phrase "church life and experience").

    *   Sense 1: One of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship (Christian church/denomination).
    *   Sense 2: A place for public worship (church building).
    *   Sense 3: A service conducted in a house of worship (church service).
    *   Sense 4: The body of people who attend or belong to a particular local church (congregation).

    *   The phrase is "church life and experience."
    *   Does it mean "building life"? No.
    *   Does it mean "service life"? No.
    *   Does it mean "local congregation life"? Possibly, but the context mentions the "Central Council of Church Bell Ringers" and "every vicar in the country," suggesting a broader scope than one specific local church.
    *   Does it mean the life and experience associated with the Christian religion/institution/denomination as a whole? Yes. "Church life" typically refers to the activities, culture, and existence within the organized Christian faith/institution.

    *   Sense 1 (Christian church/denomination/institution) fits best because "church life" refers to the broader experience of being part of the organized religious body.

    *   Sense 1: "one of the groups of Christians who have their own beliefs and forms of worship" (The institution/denomination).
    *   Sense 2: Building.
    *   Sense 3: Service.
    *   Sense 4: Local congregation.

    In "church life and experience," "church" acts as an adjective describing the sphere of activity. This sphere is the organized religion/institution.

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* Is it Sense 1 or Sense 4?
    Sense 4 is "the body of people who attend or belong to a *particular local* church."
    The context discusses the "Central Council of Church Bell Ringers" and "every vicar in the country." This is a national/institutional level, not a local one. Therefore, Sense 1 (the broader Christian church/institution) is the most appropriate.

reasoning_content:

    *   Target word: "experience"
    *   Senses:
        1.  Accumulation of knowledge/skill from participation (e.g., "a man of experience").
        2.  Content of direct observation/participation (e.g., "a religious experience").
        3.  An event as apprehended (e.g., "a surprising experience").

    *   The sentence is: "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."
    *   The speaker (Mr. Baldwin) is talking about the role of bell ringing within the church.
    *   "Church life and experience" refers to the overall way people live out their faith, the activities they engage in, and the general knowledge/practice of being part of the church.
    *   Is it "accumulation of knowledge or skill" (Sense 1)? In the context of "church life and experience," it refers to the lived reality, the practice, and the collective knowledge/skill of how church life is conducted.
    *   Is it "the content of direct observation or participation in an event" (Sense 2)? This usually refers to a specific instance (e.g., "a near-death experience").
    *   Is it "an event as apprehended" (Sense 3)? Again, this usually refers to a specific event.

    *   "Church life and experience" is a common phrase. "Experience" here refers to the practical side of church life—the things people do, the skills they acquire, and the general way of living within the church community.
    *   Comparing the senses:
        *   Sense 1: "the accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation in events or activities". This fits well. The "experience" of church life is the sum of participating in it.
        *   Sense 2: "the content of direct observation or participation in an event". This is more about a specific occurrence.
        *   Sense 3: "an event as apprehended". This is also about a specific occurrence.

    *   "Church life and experience" suggests the general practice and knowledge gained from being in the church.
    *   If I say "I have ten years of experience in church life," I'm using Sense 1.
    *   If I say "My experience of church life has been positive," it could be Sense 1 or 2, but usually, in the phrase "life and experience," it refers to the overall practice/knowledge.

    *   Sense 1: General accumulation of knowledge/skill.
    *   Sense 2: A specific instance/content of participation.
    *   Sense 3: A specific event.

    In "church life and experience," "experience" is used in a broad, collective sense, referring to the practical application and knowledge of church activities. This aligns best with Sense 1.

    *Wait, let me re-read.*
    "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."
    Could it mean "the way people experience church"? (Sense 2).
    "Church life" (the organization/activities) and "experience" (the personal feeling/participation).
    However, "experience" as a noun in this pairing often refers to the practical side of the activity.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "a man of experience", "experience is the best teacher".
    Let's look at the examples for Sense 2: "he had a religious experience", "he recalled the experience vividly".

    If the text meant "religious experience" (Sense 2), it would likely be "the church experience" or "the experience of church". "Church life and experience" sounds more like the general domain of practice.

    Actually, looking at it again, "church life and experience" might be referring to the *lived experience* of being in the church.
    Is "lived experience" Sense 1 or Sense 2?
    Sense 1: accumulation of knowledge/skill.
    Sense 2: content of direct observation/participation.

    If I say "the experience of being a bell ringer," that's Sense 2.
    If I say "he has a lot of experience as a bell ringer," that's Sense 1.

    In the sentence "priority in church life and experience," it means bell ringing is no longer as central to the way church is lived and practiced. This feels like the accumulation of practices and knowledge (Sense 1).

    Let's double-check Sense 2 again: "the content of direct observation or participation in an event".
    "Church life and experience" -> the content of participating in church.

    Let's compare:
    "He has a lot of experience in church life." (Sense 1)
    "His experience of church life was poor." (Sense 2)
    "Priority in church life and experience." -> This sounds like the general field of practice.

    If we look at the phrase "life and experience," it often refers to the sum of one's activities and the knowledge gained from them.

    Let's try to substitute:
    "priority in church life and [accumulation of knowledge/skill]" (Sense 1)
    "priority in church life and [the content of direct participation]" (Sense 2)

    Sense 1 seems more likely when referring to a general domain ("church life and experience").

    *Self-Correction:* Let's think about "experience" in the context of "the human experience." That's usually Sense 2 (the content of participation). "Church life and experience" might be similar to "the church experience."

    However, in the context of "priority," it's more likely referring to the practical application and the role it plays in the overall "experience" (the way things are done/known).

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
    Sense 1: Knowledge/skill from participation.
    Sense 2: The content of participation.

    "Priority in church life and experience."
    If bell ringing is a priority in "experience," does it mean it's a priority in the *knowledge/skill* of church life, or the *content* of the participation?

    Actually, "experience" here is likely used as a synonym for "practice" or "the way things are done."
    "Church life and experience" = the way church is lived and the knowledge associated with it.

    Let's look at the senses again.
    1. accumulation of knowledge or skill
    2. content of direct observation or participation
    3. an event as apprehended

    If I say "the experience of the church," I mean the feeling/content (Sense 2).
    If I say "church experience" (like "work experience"), I mean the knowledge/skill (Sense 1).

    "Church life and experience" sounds like a collective noun for the practice of the church. This leans toward Sense 1.

    Let's search for the phrase "life and experience".
    Often used as "life experience" (Sense 1).

    Final check:
    Sense 1: "a man of experience" (knowledge/skill).
    Sense 2: "a religious experience" (a specific event/content).
    Sense 3: "a surprising experience" (a specific event).

    The context "church life and experience" is general, not a specific event. This rules out 2 and 3 (which usually refer to specific instances, although Sense 2 can be broader). But Sense 1 is the most fitting for a general accumulation of practice/knowledge.

    Wait, "religious experience" is given as an example for Sense 2. "Church life and experience" is very close to "religious experience." But "a religious experience" is usually a single, powerful event. "Church life and experience" is a general state.

    Let's reconsider Sense 1. "The accumulation of knowledge or skill that results from direct participation." This fits the idea of "church experience" as the practical side of church life.

    Let's try one more time.
    "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."
    This means bell ringing is not as important in the way the church is run (life) and the way it is practiced/known (experience).

    Sense 1: Knowledge/skill from participation.
    Sense 2: Content of participation.

    If you have "experience" in something, you have Sense 1.
    If you "have an experience," you have Sense 2.
    The sentence says "priority in... experience." This suggests "experience" is a domain or a quality, not a specific event. This points strongly to Sense 1.

        3.  A source of difficulty (synonym: trouble). Example: "one trouble after another delayed the job."

    *   The sentence says "the greater problem: lack of ringers."
    *   "Lack of ringers" is the specific thing causing the difficulty.
    *   It's not a math problem or a question to be solved in an academic sense (Sense 2).
    *   It's not necessarily a "state of difficulty" in the interpersonal or general life-struggle sense (Sense 1), although it's close.
    *   It is a "source of difficulty" or a "trouble" (Sense 3). The lack of ringers is the *cause* of the issue.

    *   Sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved" (often used for personal problems or general situations).

    Comparing "lack of ringers" to these:
    "Lack of ringers" is the *source* of the trouble for the bell ringers' organization.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
    Sense 1: "a state of difficulty that needs to be resolved"
    Sense 3: "a source of difficulty"

    If I say "The problem is the lack of ringers," the lack of ringers is the source.

    Wait, let's look at the synonyms.
    Sense 1: job (this seems like a weird synonym for "state of difficulty", but maybe in the sense of "it's a job to...").
    Sense 3: trouble.

    "The greater trouble: lack of ringers." (Fits well).
    "The greater state of difficulty: lack of ringers." (Less natural).

    Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "One <t>survey</t> says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring."
    *   Target word: "survey"
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  Detailed critical inspection / study.
        2.  Short descriptive summary (of events) / sketch, resume.
        3.  The act of looking or seeing or observing / view, sight.

    *   The sentence says "One survey says that...".
    *   It provides a statistic (100,000 trained, 40,000 still ring).
    *   This implies a systematic collection of data or a study conducted to find these numbers.

    *   Sense 1: "a detailed critical inspection | synonyms=study". This fits well. A survey in the sense of a statistical study or a systematic investigation.
    *   Sense 2: "short descriptive summary (of events)". This doesn't fit. It's not a summary of events, but a data-driven finding.
    *   Sense 3: "the act of looking or seeing or observing". This doesn't fit. It's not about visually scanning a battlefield or a landscape.

    *   Sense 1 is the closest match, as "survey" in this context refers to a study or a statistical investigation.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "One survey <t>says</t> that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring."
    *   Target word: "says" (referring to a survey).

    *   1: express in words (state, tell) - Usually used for people.
    *   2: report or maintain (allege, aver) - Usually used for people making claims.
    *   3: express a supposition (suppose) - "Let's say..."
    *   4: have or contain a certain wording or form (read) - "The passage reads as follows", "What does the law say?"
    *   5: give instructions (order, tell) - "I said to him to go home."
    *   6: speak/pronounce in a certain way (articulate) - "She pronounces French words..."
    *   7: communicate nonverbally - "What does this painting say?"
    *   8: utter aloud - "She said 'Hello'."
    *   9: state as opinion/judgment - "I say let's forget this..."
    *   10: recite fixed text - "Say grace."
    *   11: indicate - "The clock says noon."

    *   The subject is "One survey".
    *   A survey doesn't "speak" or "utter" in the human sense.
    *   It "contains information" or "indicates" a result.
    *   Comparing Sense 4 ("have or contain a certain wording or form" / "read") and Sense 11 ("indicate").
    *   Sense 4 example: "What does the law say?" (The law is a written document/set of rules).
    *   Sense 11 example: "The clock says noon." (The clock indicates a time).
    *   A survey is a document or a set of data. When we say "the survey says X", we mean the results of the survey indicate X or the report of the survey states X.
    *   Looking at Sense 4 again: "have or contain a certain wording or form | synonyms=read | examples=The passage reads as follows; What does the law say?"
    *   Looking at Sense 11 again: "indicate | examples=The clock says noon."
    *   Usually, "the survey says" is treated similarly to "the report says" or "the book says", which aligns with Sense 4 (containing wording/reading). However, "indicate" (Sense 11) is also very close.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 4 vs Sense 11.
        *   Sense 4: "What does the law say?" (The text of the law).
        *   Sense 11: "The clock says noon." (The instrument indicates a value).
    *   A survey is more like a report/document than a clock. "The survey says that..." is essentially "The survey reports that..." or "The survey reads that...".
    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 4 again: "have or contain a certain wording or form".
    *   Let's look at Sense 11 again: "indicate".
    *   Actually, in many dictionaries, "the survey says" is categorized as "to state" or "to indicate".
    *   Let's check if there's a better fit.
    *   Sense 1: "express in words". (Usually humans).
    *   Sense 4: "have or contain a certain wording or form". (Documents).
    *   Sense 11: "indicate". (Instruments/Signs).
    *   A survey is a collection of data that *indicates* a trend or result. But it's also a written report.
    *   If I say "The sign says 'Stop'", that's Sense 4.
    *   If I say "The thermometer says 100 degrees", that's Sense 11.
    *   If I say "The survey says 40% of people...", is it indicating a value (like a thermometer) or containing wording (like a sign)?
    *   It's more like "The report says...".
    *   Let's compare "The law says" (Sense 4) and "The clock says" (Sense 11).
    *   "The survey says" is very similar to "The report says".
    *   Is a survey an instrument (like a clock) or a text (like a law)? It's a study/report.
    *   Most linguistic datasets map "the [document/report/survey] says" to the sense of "read" or "state in writing".
    *   Sense 4: "have or contain a certain wording or form | synonyms=read".
    *   Sense 11: "indicate".
    *   Let's think about "The survey says that...". This is reporting a finding.
    *   If the survey is viewed as a document, it's Sense 4. If it's viewed as a source of information/indicator, it's Sense 11.
    *   However, "The clock says noon" is a direct reading of a display. "The survey says that of the 100,000... only 40,000... ring" is a summary of findings.
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "What does the law say?" This is asking for the content of the law.
    *   "The survey says..." is providing the content of the survey.
    *   Let's double-check Sense 11: "indicate". "The clock says noon."
    *   Actually, "The survey says" is often used interchangeably with "The survey indicates".
    *   But "The law says" is also "The law indicates/states".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms. Sense 4 synonym is "read". "The survey reads that..." (a bit formal, but possible).
    *   Sense 11 synonym is "indicate". "The survey indicates that..." (very common).
    *   Wait, let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 4: "The passage reads as follows; What does the law say?"
    *   Sense 11: "The clock says noon."
    *   "The survey says that..." is more like "The report says that...".
    *   In many contexts, "The [document] says" is Sense 4.
    *   Let's re-read the context: "One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers... only 40,000 of them still ring."
    *   This is a statement of a fact found within the survey.
    *   If I had to choose between "read" (4) and "indicate" (11), "indicate" feels slightly more natural for a survey's findings, but "read" is more natural for the text of the survey.
    *   However, "The clock says noon" is a very specific type of indication (a measurement). A survey is also a measurement of sorts.
    *   Let's search for "survey says" in dictionary examples.
    *   Merriam-Webster: "the survey says" often falls under the sense of "to state" or "to report".
    *   Looking at the provided senses again:
        1. express in words (state, tell)
        4. have or contain a certain wording or form (read)
        11. indicate
    *   If "The law says" is 4, then "The survey says" (referring to the results/text) is likely 4.
    *   If "The clock says" is 11, then "The survey says" (referring to the data/indication) is likely 11.
    *   Let's think: "The survey says that..." vs "The survey indicates that...". They are almost identical.
    *   "The law says that..." vs "The law indicates that...". "Says" is much more common here.
    *   Actually, "The survey says" is a very common way to report a finding.
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "have or contain a certain wording or form".
    *   Let's look at Sense 11 again: "indicate".
    *   If the survey is the *source* of the information, "indicate" (11) is a strong candidate.
    *   But "The law says" (4) is also the source of the information.
    *   The difference between 4 and 11 seems to be: 4 is for text/wording, 11 is for instruments/signs.
    *   A survey is a study, and its results are usually presented in a report (text).
    *   Let's try to find this specific sense in a dictionary (like Oxford).
    *   Oxford English Dictionary (OED) or similar:
        *   "The sign says..." (Sense 4)
        *   "The clock says..." (Sense 11)
        *   "The report says..." (Sense 4)
    *   A survey is more like a report than a clock.

    *   Sense 4: "have or contain a certain wording or form" (synonym: read).
    *   Sense 11: "indicate" (example: clock).
    *   "One survey says that..." -> "One survey reads that..." (Possible, but less common than "The report reads...").
    *   "One survey says that..." -> "One survey indicates that..." (Very common).
    *   Wait, let's look at the examples again. "What does the law say?" (Sense 4). The law is a set of rules, often written. A survey is a set of data, often written.
    *   Let's consider if it could be Sense 1 (express in words). "One survey says..." (Personification). This is common in English, but usually, dictionaries have a separate sense for non-human subjects.
    *   Sense 4 and 11 are the non-human ones.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 11: "indicate". "The clock says noon." This is a direct reading of a gauge.
    *   A survey is not a gauge; it's a study. The results are "stated" in the survey.
    *   Therefore, Sense 4 ("have or contain a certain wording or form") is a better fit for a survey/report than Sense 11 ("indicate" like a clock).

    *   Sense 4: "The passage reads as follows; What does the law say?"
    *   Context: "One survey says that..."
    *   This matches the pattern of a document/text stating something.

    *   Could it be Sense 2 (report or maintain)? "He alleged that...". No, that's for people.
    *   Could it be Sense 1 (express in words)? "He said that he wanted to marry her". This is the most general sense. Sometimes "the survey says" is just treated as a metaphorical use of Sense 1.
    *   However, Sense 4 specifically covers "the law says", which is the same category as "the survey says".

    *   Sense 4: "have or contain a certain wording or form" (synonym: read).
    *   Sense 11: "indicate" (example: clock).
    *   A survey is a document/report. "The report says" = Sense 4.
    *   A clock is an instrument. "The clock says" = Sense 11.
    *   The survey is reporting a statistic. This is more like "the law says" (the content of the document) than "the clock says" (the position of the hands).

    *   Wait, let me think about "The survey says" one more time.
    *   "The survey says that 40% of people..."
    *   Is it "indicating" (11) or "containing wording" (4)?
    *   If you look at the survey, you *read* that 40% of people...
    *   If you look at the clock, you *see* it's noon.
    *   The survey *contains the wording* that 40% of people...
    *   This points to Sense 4.

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

Context: 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. It hopes to speak to students at theological colleges about the joys of bell ringing and will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the country entitled, "The Bells in Your Care. "Says Mr. Baldwin, "We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience. "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers. One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring. Also, ringers do not <t>always</t> live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches. But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin.

Senses:
1. definition=at all times; all the time and on every occasion | synonyms=ever, e'er | examples=I will always be there to help you; always arrives on time
2. definition=without variation or change, in every case | synonyms=constantly, invariably | examples=constantly kind and gracious; he always arrives on time
3. definition=without interruption | synonyms=constantly, forever, perpetually, incessantly | examples=the world is constantly changing

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Also, ringers do not <t>always</t> live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches."
    *   Target word: "always"

    *   Sense 1: at all times; all the time and on every occasion (e.g., "I will always be there to help you").
    *   Sense 2: without variation or change, in every case (e.g., "constantly kind and gracious").
    *   Sense 3: without interruption (e.g., "the world is constantly changing").
    *   Sense 4: at any time or in any event (e.g., "you can always resign").
    *   Sense 5: forever; throughout all time (e.g., "we will always be friends").

    *   The sentence is: "Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung..."
    *   This means it is not the case that *every* ringer lives where the bells are. In other words, in some cases they do, and in some cases they don't.
    *   It's a negation of "always" (not always = sometimes).
    *   Looking at the senses:
        *   Sense 1: "at all times; all the time and on every occasion". If we say "ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung", it means it's not true on every occasion/in every case.
        *   Sense 2: "without variation or change, in every case". This is very similar to Sense 1.
        *   Sense 3: "without interruption". This doesn't fit (they don't live there "without interruption").
        *   Sense 4: "at any time or in any event". This doesn't fit.
        *   Sense 5: "forever". This doesn't fit.

    *   Sense 1: "at all times; all the time and on every occasion"
    *   Sense 2: "without variation or change, in every case"
    *   In the context "ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung", the meaning is that it's not true for *every* ringer or in *every* instance.
    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: "all the time and on every occasion"
        *   Sense 2: "without variation or change, in every case"
    *   Actually, "not always" usually negates the idea that something happens in every single instance.
    *   Example for Sense 1: "always arrives on time" (every time they arrive, they are on time).
    *   Example for Sense 2: "he always arrives on time" (Wait, the example is the same as Sense 1 in the prompt? Let me check).
    *   Prompt's examples:
        1. "I will always be there to help you; always arrives on time"
        2. "constantly kind and gracious; he always arrives on time"
    *   Wait, the prompt has "always arrives on time" in both 1 and 2. That's confusing.
    *   Let's look at the definitions again.
        1. "at all times; all the time and on every occasion"
        2. "without variation or change, in every case"
    *   "Ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung" means it is not the case that in every instance a ringer lives where the bells are.
    *   This fits "on every occasion" (Sense 1) or "in every case" (Sense 2).
    *   Usually, "always" in the sense of "not always" (meaning "sometimes not") refers to frequency or universality across cases.
    *   Sense 1 is more about frequency/occurrence ("on every occasion").
    *   Sense 2 is more about consistency/invariability ("without variation or change").
    *   The sentence "ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung" is about the distribution of ringers (some do, some don't), which is a matter of "in every case" or "on every occasion".
    *   Let's look at the synonyms. Sense 1: ever, e'er. Sense 2: constantly, invariably.
    *   "Ringers do not invariably live where the bells need to be rung." (Fits well).
    *   "Ringers do not ever live where the bells need to be rung." (No, that would be "never").
    *   Wait, "not always" is the opposite of "always". If "always" means "invariably" (Sense 2), then "not always" means "not invariably".
    *   If "always" means "at all times" (Sense 1), then "not always" means "not at all times".
    *   In this context, it's not about time (they don't live there at 2 PM but do at 4 PM), it's about the group of people (some ringers do, some don't). This points toward "in every case" (Sense 2).

    *   Sense 1: "at all times; all the time and on every occasion"
    *   Sense 2: "without variation or change, in every case"
    *   "Ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung."
    *   This is a statement about the general situation of ringers. It's not that a single ringer moves in and out of the area (time), but that across the population of ringers, it's not true for all of them (case).
    *   Therefore, "in every case" (Sense 2) is a better fit than "at all times" (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: "at all times; all the time and on every occasion"
    *   Sense 2: "without variation or change, in every case"
    *   If I say "The train is always late," it means in every case (Sense 2) or at all times (Sense 1)? Usually, it means every time it runs (every case).
    *   If I say "I always love you," it means at all times (Sense 1).
    *   "Ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung" means it's not true for every ringer. This is "in every case".

    *   Sense 1: "at all times; all the time and on every occasion"
    *   Sense 2: "without variation or change, in every case"
    *   Wait, "on every occasion" (Sense 1) and "in every case" (Sense 2) are extremely similar.
    *   Let's look at the synonyms again.
        *   Sense 1: ever, e'er.
        *   Sense 2: constantly, invariably.
    *   "Ringers do not invariably live where the bells need to be rung." (Correct).
    *   "Ringers do not ever live where the bells need to be rung." (Incorrect, that means "never").
    *   Wait, "not always" is not the same as "not ever".
    *   "Always" (Sense 1) = "at all times". "Not always" = "not at all times".
    *   "Always" (Sense 2) = "invariably". "Not always" = "not invariably".
    *   The context is about the distribution of people, not the passage of time. "Invariably" (Sense 2) fits better than "at all times" (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: "at all times; all the time and on every occasion"
    *   Sense 2: "without variation or change, in every case"
    *   Actually, "on every occasion" (Sense 1) could also mean "in every case".
    *   But "without variation or change" (Sense 2) specifically points to the lack of exceptions. "Not always" means there are exceptions.
    *   Let's re-read: "ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung". This means there are exceptions to the rule that ringers live where the bells are. This matches "without variation or change, in every case".

    *   Sense 1: "at all times; all the time and on every occasion"
    *   Sense 2: "without variation or change, in every case"
    *   If the sentence was "He is always late," it could be Sense 1 or 2.
    *   If the sentence was "The sun always rises in the east," it's Sense 2 (invariably).
    *   "Ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung" is a general truth/fact about a group, similar to "The sun always rises in the east" (though negated). This points to Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: "at all times; all the time and on every occasion"
    *   Sense 2: "without variation or change, in every case"
    *   Wait, looking at the examples again:
        1. "I will always be there to help you; always arrives on time"
        2. "constantly kind and gracious; he always arrives on time"
    *   The example "always arrives on time" is in both. This is very poor sense differentiation in the provided list.
    *   However, "constantly kind and gracious" (Sense 2) describes a trait/characteristic. "Living where the bells need to be rung" is a characteristic/state of the ringers.
    *   "I will always be there to help you" (Sense 1) is a promise about the future/all time.
    *   The context "ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung" is a description of a state of affairs, not a promise or a continuous action.

    *   Sense 1: Frequency/Time (at all times).
    *   Sense 2: Invariability/Universality (in every case).
    *   The context is about universality (not all ringers live there).
    *   Therefore, Sense 2.

    *   Target word: "need"
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  `require as useful, just, or proper` (e.g., "success usually requires hard work")
        2.  `have need of` (e.g., "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner")
        3.  `have or feel a need for` (e.g., "always needing friends and money")

    *   "ringers do not always live where the bells <t>need</t> to be rung"
    *   Here, "need to be rung" means it is necessary or proper for the bells to be rung in those locations.
    *   It's not that the bells *themselves* feel a need (Sense 3) or that the bells *possess* a need in the sense of lacking something (Sense 2).
    *   Rather, the situation *requires* that the bells be rung (Sense 1).

    *   Sense 1: "require as useful, just, or proper". If the bells "need to be rung", it is required/proper for them to be rung for the purpose of the church/community.
    *   Sense 2: "have need of". This usually implies a lack of something (e.g., "the car needs oil"). While "the bells need ringing" can be used this way, "need to be rung" fits the "required/proper" sense better.
    *   Sense 3: "have or feel a need for". This is usually for sentient beings (e.g., "I need a drink").

    *   "The bells need to be rung" $\approx$ "It is necessary/required that the bells be rung."
    *   This aligns best with Sense 1: "require as useful, just, or proper".

    *   Sense 1: "require as useful, just, or proper" -> "The bells need to be rung" (It is proper/required that they be rung).
    *   Sense 2: "have need of" -> "The bells need a polish" (They lack polish).
    *   Sense 3: "have or feel a need for" -> "The ringer needs a break" (He feels the need).

    The context "where the bells need to be rung" indicates a requirement or necessity based on the situation (the location of the bells).

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 1 and 2.
    Sense 1: "require as useful, just, or proper"
    Sense 2: "have need of"

    "The bells need to be rung" is a passive construction.
    If I say "The grass needs cutting," that's often mapped to "have need of" (Sense 2).
    If I say "The bells need to be rung," is it "require as useful/proper" or "have need of"?

    Let's look at the examples:
    Sense 1: "It takes nerve to do what she did" (requires nerve). "Success usually requires hard work."
    Sense 2: "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner."

    "The bells need to be rung" is very similar to "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner." Both describe an object that requires a certain action to be performed on it.

    However, "where the bells need to be rung" suggests that in those specific locations (rural parishes), there is a *requirement* or *necessity* for ringing to occur.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1: "require as useful, just, or proper".
    If the bells "need to be rung" in rural parishes, it is "proper" or "useful" for them to be rung there.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 2: "have need of".
    Does the bell "have need of" being rung? Not really. The *situation* requires it.

    Actually, looking at the examples again:
    Sense 1: "success usually requires hard work" (Hard work is required for success).
    Sense 2: "This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner" (The piano requires attention).

    "The bells need to be rung" $\approx$ "The bells require ringing."
    This is almost identical to "The piano wants/needs attention."

    Wait, let's look at the phrasing "where the bells need to be rung".
    This means "where it is necessary that the bells be rung".
    This fits "require as useful, just, or proper" (Sense 1).

    Let's check Sense 2 again: "have need of".
    "The bells have need of being rung"? That sounds awkward.

    Let's check Sense 1 again: "require as useful, just, or proper".
    "The bells require [it to be] useful/proper to be rung"? No.
    "The situation requires that the bells be rung."

    Let's look at the dictionary definitions these likely came from (WordNet).
    WordNet "need" (verb):
    1. require as useful, just, or proper (e.g., "it takes nerve")
    2. have need of (e.g., "this piano wants the attention of a competent tuner")
    3. have or feel a need for (e.g., "always needing friends")

    In "the bells need to be rung", the bells are the subject.
    In "this piano wants the attention", the piano is the subject.
    These are structurally identical.

    Wait, "the bells need to be rung" is a passive form of "someone needs to ring the bells".
    If "someone needs to ring the bells", then "someone requires [it] to ring the bells" (Sense 1) or "someone has need of ringing the bells" (Sense 2).

    Let's look at the context again: "ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung".
    This means "where it is necessary for the bells to be rung".
    This is a requirement of the situation.

    If we compare "The piano needs tuning" (Sense 2) and "The bells need to be rung", they are very similar.
    But "The bells need to be rung" in this context is more about the *necessity* of the action in that location.

    Let's try to substitute:
    1. "where the bells *require as useful/proper* to be rung" (Doesn't fit grammatically)
    2. "where the bells *have need of* being rung" (Fits grammatically)

    Wait, if the sense is "require as useful, just, or proper", the subject is often the thing that *is required*.
    Example: "Success requires hard work." (Hard work is required).
    In "The bells need to be rung", the *ringing* is what is required.

    If the subject is the thing that *needs* something:
    "The piano needs attention." (The piano is the subject, attention is the object).
    "The bells need to be rung." (The bells are the subject, the infinitive phrase "to be rung" is the object).

    This matches Sense 2: "have need of".

    Let's double-check Sense 1 again. "It takes nerve to do what she did." (Nerve is required).
    In "The bells need to be rung", is "the bells" the thing being required? No, the *ringing* is.

    So, if the bells are the subject and they "need" something (to be rung), they "have need of" that action.

    Sense 2: "have need of" -> "The piano wants the attention of a competent tuner."
    "The bells need to be rung" $\approx$ "The bells want the action of being rung."

    This seems the most consistent.

    Wait, let me think about Sense 1 again. "require as useful, just, or proper".
    If I say "The situation needs a change", does the situation "have need of" a change or does it "require a change as useful/proper"?
    Usually, "require as useful, just, or proper" is used when the subject is the *goal* or the *result* (e.g., "Success requires hard work").
    In "The bells need to be rung", the bells are not the goal.

    Therefore, Sense 2 ("have need of") is the most likely fit for an object (the bells) that requires an action (to be rung).

    *   Context: "ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung"
    *   Meaning: The bells in those places require ringing.
    *   Sense 1: require as useful, just, or proper (Subject is the goal/result)
    *   Sense 2: have need of (Subject is the thing lacking/requiring something)
    *   Sense 3: have or feel a need for (Subject is usually sentient)

    The bells (subject) have need of (sense 2) being rung.

    Let's re-verify Sense 1 one more time. "It takes nerve to do what she did."
    Here, "It" is a dummy subject. The real subject is "to do what she did".
    "To do what she did requires nerve."
    So, "The bells need to be rung" $\rightarrow$ "To ring the bells is required"? No, that's not what it says. It says "the bells need to be rung".

    If the sentence was "Ringing the bells needs a trained ringer", then "Ringing the bells" (the activity) would be the subject, and it would "require" (Sense 1) a trained ringer.

    But here, "the bells" are the subject. The bells "have need of" being rung.

    Sense 2 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...like in <t>small</t>, rural parishes and inner-city churches."
    *   Target word: "small"
    *   Contextual meaning: Referring to "rural parishes". In this case, "small" describes the size or scope of the parishes (likely referring to the population or the physical size of the community/church).

    *   Sense 1: limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent (e.g., a little dining room; a little house).
    *   Sense 2: limited in size or scope (e.g., a small business; a newspaper with a modest circulation).
    *   Sense 3: young, immature (children/animals).
    *   Sense 4: slight or limited in degree or intensity or scope (e.g., small time in between).
    *   Sense 5: low or inferior in station or quality (humble, lowly).
    *   Sense 6: lowercase.
    *   Sense 7: faint (voice).
    *   Sense 8: fine constituent particles (rain).
    *   Sense 9: not large but sufficient (modest salary).
    *   Sense 10: made to seem smaller/less (belittled).

    *   "Small, rural parishes" refers to the size of the parish (either the geographical area or the number of people in it).
    *   Sense 1 refers to physical size (dining room, house).
    *   Sense 2 refers to size or scope (small business).
    *   Sense 5 refers to station or quality (humble cottage, lowly parish priest).

    *   Is it Sense 1 (physical size/magnitude)? A parish is a geographical area or a community.
    *   Is it Sense 2 (size or scope)? A "small business" is a common example. A "small parish" fits the idea of limited size or scope.
    *   Is it Sense 5 (lowly/humble)? While rural parishes might be seen as humble, "small" here primarily describes the scale/size of the parish, not necessarily its social status.

    *   Sense 1: "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent" (examples: dining room, house).
    *   Sense 2: "limited in size or scope" (examples: small business).

    Comparing "small rural parishes" to "small business" (Sense 2) vs "small house" (Sense 1).
    A parish is an administrative/geographic unit. "Small" usually refers to its population or area.
    Sense 1 focuses on physical dimensions or quantity.
    Sense 2 focuses on size or scope.

    Let's look at the examples again.
    Sense 1: "a little dining room; a little house" (Physical size).
    Sense 2: "a small business; a newspaper with a modest circulation" (Scale/Scope).

    A "small parish" is more about the scale of the community/organization than the physical size of a building (though it can be both). However, in the context of "rural parishes," it usually means a small population or a small community. This aligns well with "limited in size or scope" (Sense 2).

    Wait, let me re-read Sense 1: "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent".
    And Sense 2: "limited in size or scope".

    Actually, "small rural parishes" often refers to the size of the congregation or the area.
    If I look at "small business" (Sense 2), it's about the scale of the operation.
    If I look at "small house" (Sense 1), it's about physical dimensions.

    A parish is a community/district. "Small" here likely means a small number of people or a small area.
    Sense 1: "limited or below average in number or quantity..."
    Sense 2: "limited in size or scope..."

    Let's check if there's a better fit.
    Sense 5: "low or inferior in station or quality" (humble). "Small rural parishes" could be seen as humble, but "small" is usually literal here.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 2.
    Sense 1: "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent"
    Sense 2: "limited in size or scope"

    In many dictionaries, "small" meaning "limited in size" is the most general.
    Sense 1 examples: "a little dining room; a little house".
    Sense 2 examples: "a small business".

    A parish is more like a business (an organization/entity) than a house (a physical object), although it has a physical location. "Small parish" usually means a small congregation.

    Let's look at the provided senses again.
    Sense 1: limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent.
    Sense 2: limited in size or scope.

    This is a very subtle distinction. Let's see if "small" in "small rural parishes" fits "limited in size or scope" better.
    A rural parish is a geographic area and a community. Its "size" can be its area or its population. Its "scope" can be its influence or reach.

    If we look at "small business", it's about the scale. "Small parish" is also about the scale.

    Let's double-check Sense 1 again. "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent".
    If "small" refers to the number of people in the parish, Sense 1 ("number or quantity") fits.
    If "small" refers to the size of the parish, Sense 2 ("size or scope") fits.

    Usually, in these types of NLP tasks (like WordNet-based), "small" for a community or organization is categorized under "size or scope".

    Let's try to see if there's any other option.
    Sense 5: "low or inferior in station or quality". "Lowly parish priest" is given as an example. "Small rural parish" could potentially be Sense 5, but "small" is more likely describing the size.

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2 again:
    Sense 1: "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent"
    Sense 2: "limited in size or scope"

    Actually, looking at the examples:
    Sense 1: "a little dining room; a little house" (Physical size)
    Sense 2: "a small business" (Scale/Scope)

    A parish is an administrative unit/community. "Small parish" is more about the scale of the community than the physical size of a room. Therefore, Sense 2 is a stronger fit.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 1 again. "limited or below average in number or quantity or magnitude or extent".
    "Number or quantity" could refer to the number of people in the parish.

    Let's search for "small parish" in a dictionary.
    Usually, it means a parish with a small population.

    Let's re-examine the examples for Sense 2: "a small business; a newspaper with a modest circulation".
    A "newspaper with a modest circulation" is about the number of people it reaches.
    A "small business" is about the scale of the operation.
    A "small parish" is about the scale of the community.

    This seems to align perfectly with Sense 2.

        3.  A meeting of people for consultation (e.g., emergency council).

    *   The text mentions a "program to attract and train ringers."
    *   This program is run by "the council."
    *   The context is about the organization of bell ringing in England.
    *   The "council" here refers to the governing body or administrative organization responsible for bell ringing (likely the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers, though not explicitly named).

    *   Sense 1: "a body serving in an administrative capacity." This fits perfectly. An organization that runs a training program is an administrative body.
    *   Sense 2: "an assembly of theologians and bishops... to regulate matters of discipline or doctrine." This is a specific religious council (like the Council of Nicaea). While the context is church-related, the "council" here is managing bell ringers, not deciding church doctrine or discipline.
    *   Sense 3: "a meeting of people for consultation." This refers to a single event or a temporary gathering, not a permanent organization that runs a multi-year training program.

    *   The "council" is an administrative body managing the sport/art of bell ringing.
    *   Sense 1 is the correct match.
