reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The sound of bells is a net to draw people into the church," he says. "I live in hopes that the ringers themselves will be drawn into that fuller <t>life</t>."
    *   Target word: "life"
    *   Surrounding context: The speaker (Vicar Marshall) is talking about drawing bell-ringers into the church and a "fuller life." This implies a spiritual, moral, or religious way of living, or a more meaningful existence.

    *   1. a characteristic state or mode of living (e.g., social life, city life).
    *   2. the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities (e.g., complexities of life).
    *   3. the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living (e.g., new life in Australia).
    *   4. the condition of living or the state of being alive (e.g., while there's life there's hope).
    *   5. the period during which something is functional (e.g., battery life, long and happy life).
    *   6. the period between birth and the present time.
    *   7. the period from the present until death.
    *   8. a living person.
    *   9. animation and energy in action or expression.
    *   10. living things collectively.
    *   11. the organic phenomenon that distinguishes living organisms from nonliving ones.
    *   12. an account of the series of events making up a person's life (biography).
    *   13. a motive for living.
    *   14. a prison term.

    *   The phrase "fuller life" in a religious context usually refers to a specific *way* of living (a spiritual or religious mode of existence).
    *   Sense 1: "a characteristic state or mode of living" (e.g., social life, city life). A "fuller life" (spiritual life) fits this description of a *mode* of living.
    *   Sense 2: "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities." This is more general.
    *   Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living." This is about the timeline or specific path of a person's life.

    *   "Fuller life" here means a life lived more fully, often implying a spiritual or religious dimension. This is a *mode* or *state* of living.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: Sense 1 is about the *type* or *mode* of life (social, city, spiritual, fuller). Sense 3 is about the *course* of existence (a new life in Australia).
    *   In the context of "drawn into that fuller life," the vicar is referring to the spiritual life associated with the church. This is a mode of living.

    *   Sense 1: "a characteristic state or mode of living" -> "fuller life" (spiritual life). This fits well.

    *   Wait, let me re-read Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living | examples=he hoped for a new life in Australia".
    *   "A new life in Australia" is similar to "a fuller life" in the church. Both describe a change in the way one lives.
    *   However, "social life" or "city life" (Sense 1) describes the *nature* of the life. "Fuller life" describes the *nature* or *quality* of the life.
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "a characteristic state or mode of living".
    *   Let's look at Sense 3 again: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living".
    *   "Fuller life" is more about the *quality/mode* (Sense 1) than the *course/events* (Sense 3).

    *   If someone says "I want a better life," is that Sense 1 or Sense 3?
    *   If someone says "I want a spiritual life," that's Sense 1.
    *   "Fuller life" in this context is essentially "spiritual life."

    *   Sense 1: social life, city life, spiritual life, fuller life. (Mode of living)
    *   Sense 3: new life in Australia, live his own life. (Course of existence)

    The vicar is talking about the ringers being drawn into the church's spiritual community and way of living. This is a mode of living.

    *Self-Correction:* Let me double-check Sense 2. "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities". No, that's too general.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 3.
    Sense 1: "a characteristic state or mode of living"
    Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living"

    "Fuller life" refers to the *way* they live (spiritually), which is a mode of living.

    Wait, let me look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "social life; city life". These are types of lives. "Fuller life" (meaning spiritual life) is a type of life.

    Let's look at Sense 3 again: "he hoped for a new life in Australia". This is a change in the *course* of existence.

    The vicar hopes the ringers will be drawn into a "fuller life" (a more spiritually complete mode of living). This aligns best with Sense 1.

    *Wait*, let me think about this again. Could it be Sense 2? "the experience of being alive; the course of human events and activities". No.

    Let's try Sense 1 again. "a characteristic state or mode of living".
    If "fuller life" means "a life lived more fully (spiritually)", it's a mode of living.

    Let's check other possibilities.
    Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual".
    If "fuller life" means "a different course of existence", it could be Sense 3.

    Let's compare "new life in Australia" (Sense 3) and "fuller life" (Context).
    "New life in Australia" = a change in location and circumstances (course of existence).
    "Fuller life" = a change in the quality/nature of existence (mode of living).

    Actually, "fuller life" is very common in religious contexts to mean a life lived according to spiritual principles. This is a "mode of living."

    Let's re-read Sense 1: "a characteristic state or mode of living".
    Example: "social life", "city life".
    "Spiritual life" would fit here. "Fuller life" is a variation of that.

    Let's re-read Sense 3: "the course of existence of an individual; the actions and events that occur in living".
    Example: "he hoped for a new life in Australia".

    If the vicar means "I hope they start living a different way," it could be Sense 3. But "fuller life" describes the *kind* of life, not just the *fact* that it's a new course.

    Let's search for "fuller life" in a dictionary. Often it's associated with "a more complete or satisfying way of living." This points to "mode of living."

    Final check:
    Sense 1: mode of living.
    Sense 3: course of existence.
    "Fuller life" = a more spiritually complete mode of living.

    Sense 1 seems the most accurate.

    *   Usage: "a sort of parliament of ringing groups"

    *   Sense 1: A category of things (kind, form, variety). Example: "sculpture is a form of art".
    *   Sense 2: An approximate definition or example (used to describe something that is similar to but not exactly the thing mentioned). Example: "a sort of magenta dress".

    *   Sense 4: An operation that segregates items (sorting). Example: "the process of sorting".

    *   The phrase "a sort of parliament of ringing groups" suggests that the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers is *like* a parliament, or functions *similarly* to a parliament, but isn't literally a government parliament.
    *   This matches Sense 2: "an approximate definition or example". It's being used as a hedge or a metaphor to describe the nature of the organization.

    *   Sense 1 (category) would be "a sort of organization" (meaning a type of organization). While "parliament" is a type of organization, the phrase "a sort of [noun]" usually indicates approximation or analogy when the noun is a specific entity like "parliament".
    *   Sense 2 (approximate) fits perfectly: "a sort of parliament" = "something like a parliament".

    *   The correct sense is 2.

    *   The term "vicar" is the standard term for a parish priest in the Church of England.
    *   The context mentions "theological colleges" and "every vicar in the country," suggesting a widespread national system (likely the UK, given the bell-ringing culture).
    *   Sense 1 (Roman Catholic) is less likely because the term "vicar" in the sense of a parish priest is most characteristic of the Anglican/Church of England tradition (though "vicar general" exists in RC, the context here is a parish priest).
    *   Sense 2 (Episcopal Church) is the US version of the Anglican church, but the specific culture of "bell ringers" and "The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers" is overwhelmingly British.

    *   The "Central Council of Church Bell Ringers" is indeed a UK organization.
    *   The term "vicar" in the UK almost always refers to the Church of England parish priest.

Senses:
1. definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | synonyms=state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic | examples=the state has elected a new president; African nations
2. definition=the territory occupied by a nation | synonyms=state, land | examples=he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries
3. definition=the people who live in a nation or country | synonyms=nation, land | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood; the news was announced to the nation
4. definition=an area outside of cities and towns | synonyms=rural area | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country
5. definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | synonyms=area | examples=it was a mountainous area; Bible country

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...will shortly publish a booklet for every vicar in the <t>country</t> entitled, 'The Bells in Your Care.'"
    *   Target word: "country"
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  Politically organized body of people under a single government (state, nation).
        2.  Territory occupied by a nation (land).
        3.  People who live in a nation or country (nation, land).
        4.  Area outside of cities and towns (rural area).
        5.  Particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (area).

    *   The phrase is "every vicar in the country".
    *   This refers to all the vicars within the borders of the nation (likely the UK, given the context of "vicar" and "Central Council of Church Bell Ringers").
    *   Does it mean the political body (Sense 1)? Not exactly, it's referring to the spatial/territorial extent.
    *   Does it mean the territory occupied by a nation (Sense 2)? Yes, "in the country" often means "throughout the land/territory of the nation".
    *   Does it mean the people (Sense 3)? No, vicars are *in* the country, not *in* the people.
    *   Does it mean the rural area (Sense 4)? While vicars are often in rural areas, "every vicar in the country" usually means every vicar in the entire nation, regardless of whether they are in a city or a village.
    *   Does it mean a geographical region of indefinite boundary (Sense 5)? No, it refers to the whole nation.

    *   Sense 1: Politically organized body.
    *   Sense 2: Territory occupied by a nation.
    *   In the phrase "every vicar in the country", "country" refers to the entire land/territory of the nation.

    *   Wait, let's look at Sense 2 again: "the territory occupied by a nation".
    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "a politically organized body of people under a single government".
    *   Often, "in the country" is used interchangeably for Sense 1 and Sense 2. However, "in the [territory]" is the most literal fit for "in the country".
    *   Let's check common usage. "The best restaurant in the country" usually refers to the territory/nation.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
        *   Sense 1 is more about the *entity* (the state).
        *   Sense 2 is more about the *land/territory*.
    *   "Every vicar in the country" means every vicar located within the borders of the nation. This aligns best with Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: state, nation, land, commonwealth.
    *   Sense 2: state, land.
    *   Sense 3: nation, land (people).
    *   Sense 4: rural area.
    *   Sense 5: area.

    *   If I say "the most famous man in the country", I mean the territory of the nation.
    *   If I say "the country passed a law", I mean the political body (Sense 1).
    *   In "every vicar in the country", it's the location/territory.

    *   Sense 2: "the territory occupied by a nation". This fits perfectly.

    *   Could it be Sense 1? "A politically organized body". "Every vicar in the [politically organized body]" doesn't make as much sense as "Every vicar in the [territory]".
    *   Could it be Sense 4? "Rural area". "Every vicar in the rural area" - unlikely, as the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers would want to reach all vicars, including those in cities.

    *   Sense 2 is the most accurate.

6. definition=activity involved in maintaining something in good working order | synonyms=maintenance, upkeep | examples=he wrote the manual on car care

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "The Bells in Your <t>Care</t>."
    *   Surrounding text: The Central Council of Church Bell Ringers is publishing a booklet for vicars. The title is "The Bells in Your Care."
    *   Meaning: The bells are under the vicar's responsibility/charge/supervision.

    *   Sense 1: Treatment/attending to someone/something (medical care, attention).
    *   Sense 2: Judiciousness/caution (handling with care).

    *   The phrase "The Bells in Your Care" implies that the vicar is responsible for the bells.
    *   Sense 5 ("attention and management implying responsibility for safety | synonyms=charge, tutelage, guardianship") fits best. If something is "in your care," it is your responsibility/charge.

    *   "The Bells in Your Care" -> The bells that you are responsible for.

    *   The sentence is: "<t>Says</t> Mr. Baldwin, 'We recognize that we may no longer have as high a priority in church life and experience.'"
    *   This is a standard reporting verb used to introduce a direct quote.
    *   Sense 1 ("express in words", "state", "tell") fits best for general reporting of speech.
    *   Sense 2 ("report or maintain", "allege") is usually for claims that might be disputed.
    *   Sense 8 ("utter aloud") is more about the physical act of speaking a specific word or phrase (like "Hello").
    *   Sense 9 ("state as one's opinion or judgement") is more like "I say we should go."

    *   Sense 1 is the most general and accurate for reporting a statement. "He said that..." or "Says Mr. Baldwin, '...'" both fall under expressing something in words.

    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 1 vs Sense 8.
    *   Sense 1: "express in words | synonyms=state, tell | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her"
    *   Sense 8: "utter aloud | examples=She said 'Hello' to everyone in the office"
    *   The context is a quote in a news-style report. "Says Mr. Baldwin" is reporting the content of his speech. This is the primary meaning of "say" (Sense 1). Sense 8 is more about the act of utterance.

    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "express in words". This is the standard meaning for reporting speech.

    *   Is it Sense 2? "report or maintain". "Allege" implies doubt. There's no reason to think the text is casting doubt on Mr. Baldwin's statement.

    *   Is it Sense 8? "utter aloud". "She said 'Hello'". This is usually for short greetings or specific utterances.

    *   Sense 1 is the most fitting.

3. definition=used to express refusal or denial or disagreement etc or especially to emphasize a negative statement | examples=no, you are wrong

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "We recognize that we may <t>no</t> longer have as high a priority in church life and experience."
    *   Target word: "no" (in the phrase "no longer").
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  Referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present (synonym: no more; example: "he was no heavier than a child").
        2.  Not in any degree or manner; not at all (example: "he is no better today").
        3.  Used to express refusal, denial, disagreement, or to emphasize a negative statement (example: "no, you are wrong").

    *   "no longer" means "not anymore" or "not any longer."
    *   It indicates that a previous state (having a high priority) is no longer true.
    *   It's a negation of the duration/continuation of a state.

    *   Sense 1: "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present" (e.g., "no heavier than"). This is usually used in comparisons. "No longer" isn't exactly comparing degrees in the same way "no heavier" does, although "no longer" can be seen as "not any longer." However, let's look at Sense 2.
    *   Sense 2: "not in any degree or manner; not at all" (e.g., "he is no better today"). "No longer" fits the pattern of "not at all [longer/anymore]."
    *   Sense 3: "used to express refusal or denial or disagreement" (e.g., "no, you are wrong"). This is clearly not the case here.

    *   Wait, let's re-examine "no longer."
    *   "No longer" is an adverbial phrase.
    *   Sense 1: "no more" (as in "no more than"). "He was no heavier than a child."
    *   Sense 2: "not in any degree or manner; not at all." "He is no better today."
    *   In "no longer," "no" modifies "longer." It means "not any longer."
    *   Comparing "no longer" to "no better":
        *   "He is no better today" -> He is not better at all.
        *   "We may no longer have..." -> We may not have [it] anymore.
    *   Actually, looking at the provided senses again:
        *   Sense 1: "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present | synonyms=no more | examples=he was no heavier than a child".
        *   Sense 2: "not in any degree or manner; not at all | examples=he is no better today".

    *   Let's look at the phrase "no longer" specifically.
    *   "No longer" = not anymore.
    *   Is it "not in any degree" (Sense 2) or "referring to the degree" (Sense 1)?
    *   "No longer" is often categorized as a negative adverb.
    *   If we look at "no better" (Sense 2), it means "not at all better."
    *   If we look at "no heavier" (Sense 1), it means "not more heavy than."
    *   "No longer" means "not any longer."

    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present | synonyms=no more".
    *   "No longer" is very similar to "no more" in terms of temporal duration.
    *   However, "no more" in Sense 1 is used in comparisons ("no more than").
    *   "No longer" in the context "no longer have as high a priority" is a negation of the state.

    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2: "not in any degree or manner; not at all".
    *   "We may no longer have..." = "We may not have... anymore."
    *   This fits the "not at all" / "not in any degree" sense of negation.

    *   Wait, let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "he was no heavier than a child" (Comparison of degree).
    *   Sense 2: "he is no better today" (Absolute negation of improvement).
    *   "no longer" is a negation of the continuation of a state.

    *   Let's check if "no longer" fits Sense 2 better.
    *   "no longer" = not any longer.
    *   "no better" = not any better.
    *   Both use "no" to negate a comparative adjective (longer, better).

    *   Let's check Sense 1 again. "no more" is listed as a synonym.
    *   "I have no more money" (Quantity).
    *   "He is no more a fool than I am" (Comparison).
    *   "No longer" is a temporal version of "no more."

    *   Let's look at the phrase "no longer have as high a priority."
    *   This is a negation of the current state.
    *   Comparing "no longer" to "no better":
        *   "He is no better" (Sense 2)
        *   "We are no longer [high priority]" (Sense 2)

    *   Let's double-check Sense 1 again. "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present".
    *   "No longer" refers to the duration (a quality of time).
    *   But "no heavier than" is a comparison. "No longer" here is not a comparison ("no longer than"). It's "no longer [verb]".

    *   Therefore, Sense 2 ("not in any degree or manner; not at all") is the most likely fit for the negation in "no longer."

    *   Wait, let me search for "no longer" in dictionaries.
    *   "No longer" is often treated as a unit.
    *   If "no" is the word being analyzed:
    *   "no" in "no longer" = "not".
    *   Sense 2: "not in any degree or manner; not at all".
    *   Sense 3: "used to express refusal or denial".

    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "not in any degree or manner; not at all | examples=he is no better today".
    *   "He is no better today" means "He is not better today."
    *   "We may no longer have" means "We may not longer have" (which is grammatically "not... any longer").

    *   Let's look at Sense 1 again: "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present | synonyms=no more | examples=he was no heavier than a child".
    *   "No more" can mean "no longer" (e.g., "He is no more"). But in the example "no heavier than," it's a comparison.

    *   Comparing "no longer" to "no better":
        *   "no better" (Sense 2)
        *   "no longer" (Sense 2)
    *   Both negate the comparative adjective.

    *   Let's check if there's any other interpretation.
    *   "no longer" = not anymore.
    *   Sense 2 seems the most appropriate.

    *   Wait, let me look at the senses one more time.
    *   1. degree/no more/no heavier than
    *   2. not in any degree/not at all/no better today
    *   3. refusal/denial/no, you are wrong

    *   "no longer"
    *   If I say "I am no longer a student," I am saying "I am not a student anymore."
    *   If I say "He is no better today," I am saying "He is not better today."
    *   Both use "no" to negate the adjective/adverb.

    *   Is "no longer" a comparison of degree?
    *   "We may no longer have as high a priority..."
    *   The "as high a priority" part is a comparison, but the "no" is part of "no longer."
    *   "no longer" = not anymore.

    *   Let's re-examine Sense 1: "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present".
    *   Is "longer" a quality? Yes, duration.
    *   Is "no" referring to the degree?
    *   In "no heavier than," "no" negates the difference in degree.
    *   In "no longer," "no" negates the continuation.

    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again: "not in any degree or manner; not at all".
    *   "no better today" = not at all better today.
    *   "no longer have" = not at all longer have (not anymore).

    *   This seems to fit Sense 2 best.

    *   Wait, let me think about "no more" as a synonym for Sense 1.
    *   "I have no more money" (Quantity).
    *   "He is no more a fool than I am" (Comparison).
    *   "He is no more" (He is dead/no longer exists).
    *   If "no more" (meaning "no longer") is a synonym for Sense 1, then "no longer" would be Sense 1.

    *   Let's re-read Sense 1: "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present | synonyms=no more | examples=he was no heavier than a child".
    *   The example "he was no heavier than a child" is a comparison of degree.
    *   "no more" in "no more than" is also a comparison of degree.

    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "not in any degree or manner; not at all | examples=he is no better today".
    *   "no better" is also a comparative adjective.
    *   What is the difference between "no heavier than" and "no better"?
    *   "No heavier than" = "Not any heavier than" (The difference is zero).
    *   "No better" = "Not better at all" (There is no improvement).

    *   "No longer" = "Not any longer" (The state has ceased).
    *   This is more like "no better" (the state of being better is not present) than "no heavier than" (comparing two things).

    *   Let's double-check.
    *   "no longer" = not anymore.
    *   "no better" = not any better.
    *   "no heavier than" = not any heavier than.

    *   Actually, "no better" and "no heavier than" are very similar.
    *   "He is no better today" (He hasn't improved).
    *   "He is no heavier than a child" (He is as light as a child).

    *   Wait, "no longer" in "no longer have as high a priority" means "not anymore."
    *   This is a simple negation of the state.
    *   Sense 2: "not in any degree or manner; not at all".
    *   Sense 1: "referring to the degree to which a certain quality is present".

    *   If we say "no longer," we are saying the quality of "longer" (continuation) is not present.
    *   If we say "no better," we are saying the quality of "better" (improvement) is not present.

    *   Let's look at the examples again.
    *   Sense 1: "he was no heavier than a child" (Comparison).
    *   Sense 2: "he is no better today" (Negation of a state).
    *   "no longer have" (Negation of a state).

    *   Therefore, Sense 2 is the most likely answer.

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

"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 <t>high</t> a priority in church life and experience. "Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers.
