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

Context: ASLACTON, England -- Of all scenes that evoke rural England, this is one of the loveliest: An ancient stone church stands amid the fields, the sound of bells cascading from its tower, calling the faithful to evensong. The parishioners of St. Michael and All Angels stop to chat at the church door, as members here always have. In the tower, five men and women pull rhythmically on ropes attached to the same five bells that first sounded here in 1614. But there is also a discordant, modern note in Aslacton, though it can not be heard by the church-goers enjoying the peal of bells this cool autumn evening. Like most of the other 6,000 churches in Britain with sets of bells, St. Michael once had its own "band "of ringers, who would herald every Sunday morning and <t>evening</t> service. Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond.

Senses:
1. definition=the latter part of the day (the period of decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall) | synonyms=eve, even, eventide | examples=he enjoyed the evening light across the lake

    *   Sense 1: "the latter part of the day (the period of decreasing daylight from late afternoon until nightfall)". This fits perfectly. An evening service happens during this time.
    *   Sense 2: "a later concluding time period". This is metaphorical/figurative (e.g., the end of an era). Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 3: "the early part of night... spent in a special way". While a church service is a special way to spend time, the primary meaning here is the *time of day* the service occurs, contrasting with "morning".

    *   The word "evening" in "evening service" refers to the time of day. Sense 1 is the most accurate definition for the time of day.

Senses:

2. definition=in these times; - Nancy Mitford | synonyms=nowadays, today | examples=it is solely by their language that the upper classes nowadays are distinguished; we now rarely see horse-drawn vehicles on city streets

7. definition=in the immediate past | examples=told me just now

reasoning_content:
*   Context: A description of a church in rural England. It talks about the history (bells from 1614), the tradition of ringers, and then says: "<t>Now</t>, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond."
    *   Target word: "Now"

    *   Sense 1: Historical present (narrating past events as if they are happening now). Example: "President Kennedy now calls in..." (Not applicable here; the text is describing a current state compared to a past state).
    *   Sense 2: In these times; nowadays; today. Example: "we now rarely see horse-drawn vehicles..." (This fits well. It contrasts the past—when there was a "band" of ringers—with the current era/situation).
    *   Sense 3: Preface to command/reproof. Example: "now hear this!" (Not applicable).
    *   Sense 4: At the present moment. Example: "goods now on sale." (This is very close to Sense 2, but Sense 4 often refers to a specific point in time or a current state of being, whereas Sense 2 refers to the general current era/period).
    *   Sense 5: Without delay/immediately. Example: "he answered immediately." (Not applicable).

    *   Sense 2: "in these times; nowadays, today".
    *   Sense 4: "at the present moment".
    *   Comparing Sense 2 and Sense 4: "Now" in this context refers to the current state of affairs in the village, contrasting with how it used to be. This is a general current state (nowadays), not necessarily a specific "moment" (like "I am eating now").

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit for contrasting a past habit/state with a current one.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "Now, <t>only</t> one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond."
    *   Target word: "only"

    *   Sense 1: and nothing more (merely, simply, just, but). Example: "I was merely asking."
    *   Sense 2: without any others being included or involved (entirely, exclusively, solely, alone). Example: "was entirely to blame."
    *   Sense 3: with nevertheless the final result. Example: "He arrived only to find his wife dead."

    *   Sense 6: never except when. Example: "call me only if your cold gets worse."
    *   Sense 7: as recently as. Example: "I spoke to him only an hour ago."

    *   "Now, only one local ringer remains: 64-year-old Derek Hammond."
    *   The sentence means that there is just one local ringer left, and no others.
    *   Does it mean "merely one" (Sense 1)? Yes.
    *   Does it mean "solely one" (Sense 2)? Yes.
    *   Let's look closer at the difference between Sense 1 and Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1 (merely, simply, just): Often used to emphasize that something is small, insignificant, or limited in number/extent. "Only one person showed up" (just one).
        *   Sense 2 (entirely, exclusively, solely): Often used to indicate that something is limited to a specific person or group. "Only I know the secret" (no one else).

    *   "Now, only one local ringer remains."
    *   This is emphasizing the small number (just one).
    *   If we replace "only" with "merely" or "just": "Now, just one local ringer remains." (Fits perfectly).
    *   If we replace "only" with "solely" or "exclusively": "Now, solely one local ringer remains." (Doesn't fit as well grammatically/idiomatically in this specific position).

    *   Sense 1: "and nothing more" / "merely, simply, just".
    *   Sense 2: "without any others being included or involved" / "entirely, exclusively, solely".

    Wait, let's re-evaluate. "Only one" often falls under the "just/merely" category when referring to quantity.
    Example: "I have only one dollar." (Sense 1)
    Example: "Only he can do it." (Sense 2)

    In "only one local ringer remains", the focus is on the fact that the number is small (just one).

    Let's check the provided examples for Sense 1: "I was merely asking; it is simply a matter of time".
    Let's check the provided examples for Sense 2: "was entirely to blame; a school devoted entirely to the needs of problem children".

    Sense 1 seems to be about limitation/minimization ("just").
    Sense 2 seems to be about exclusivity ("solely").

    "Only one local ringer remains" means "Just one local ringer remains." This fits Sense 1.

    *Self-Correction/Double Check:*
    Is it Sense 2? "Without any others being included or involved."
    If I say "Only Derek remains," that's exclusivity.
    If I say "Only one remains," that's quantity (merely one).

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: merely, simply, just.
    "Just one local ringer remains." -> Perfect.

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 2: entirely, exclusively, solely.
    "Solely one local ringer remains." -> Awkward.

    Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 2: "a place for public (especially Christian) worship | synonyms=church building". This matches perfectly.

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

*   Context: "...who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting <t>effort</t> to keep the bells sounding in the many belfries of East Anglia."
    *   Key phrase: "sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding".
    *   Action: Driving from church to church every Sunday to ensure bells are rung.

    *   Sense 1: Earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something (attempt, endeavor).
    *   Sense 2: Use of physical or mental energy; hard work (exertion, sweat).
    *   Sense 3: A notable achievement (feat, exploit).
    *   Sense 4: A series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end (campaign, cause, crusade, drive, movement).

    *   The text describes a group of people driving from church to church every Sunday. This is a sustained, organized activity aimed at a specific goal (keeping the bells sounding).
    *   Is it Sense 1 (an attempt)? It's more than a single attempt; it's a recurring activity.
    *   Is it Sense 2 (physical/mental energy)? While "exhausting" suggests energy is used, the "effort" refers to the *activity* of driving from church to church to achieve the goal.
    *   Is it Sense 3 (a notable achievement)? It's not describing the result as a feat, but the process.
    *   Is it Sense 4 (a series of actions advancing a principle/end)? Yes. Driving from church to church every Sunday to keep the bells sounding is a "campaign" or "drive" or "movement" (in a small scale) to preserve a tradition.

    *   Sense 1: "made an effort to cover all the reading material" (a specific try).
    *   Sense 4: "supported populist campaigns", "worked in the cause of world peace".
    *   The context "drive every Sunday from church to church in a... effort to keep the bells sounding" fits the description of a "series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end" (Sense 4).

    *Wait, let me re-evaluate Sense 1 vs Sense 4.*
    Sense 1: "earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something".
    Sense 4: "a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end".

    The "effort" here is the collective activity of the 15 ringers driving around. This is a sustained, organized endeavor. "Campaign" or "drive" (Sense 4) fits well. However, "endeavor" (Sense 1) also fits.

    Let's look at the adjectives: "sometimes-exhausting". This emphasizes the hard work involved.
    If it were Sense 2, it would be "the effort of driving". But it says "in a... effort to keep the bells sounding". This phrasing ("in an effort to...") usually points toward Sense 1 or 4.

    Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 4 again:
    Sense 1: "made an effort to cover all the reading material" (often a single instance or a general attempt).
    Sense 4: "a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end".

    The ringers are performing a series of actions (driving every Sunday to various churches) to achieve a specific end (keeping the bells sounding). This aligns closely with Sense 4 (campaign, drive).

    Let's check if "effort" in "in an effort to" is typically Sense 1.
    "In an effort to [do something]" usually means "in an attempt to".
    Example: "In an effort to reduce costs, the company laid off workers." (Sense 1).
    Example: "The government's effort to combat poverty." (Sense 4).

    In the context: "...drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding..."
    This is a sustained, organized activity. It's not just one attempt; it's a continuous program. This leans toward Sense 4.

    Let's double-check Sense 2: "use of physical or mental energy". "Exhausting effort" strongly suggests Sense 2. But "effort to keep the bells sounding" suggests the *activity* itself. If it were Sense 2, it would be "the effort required to keep the bells sounding".

    Let's re-read Sense 4: "a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end".
    The "effort" is the act of driving from church to church. This is a series of actions. The end is keeping the bells sounding.

    Let's re-read Sense 1: "earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something".
    This also fits.

    Which one is *better*?
    Sense 4 synonyms: campaign, cause, crusade, drive, movement.
    Sense 1 synonyms: attempt, endeavor, try.

    "They drive every Sunday... in a sometimes-exhausting campaign/drive to keep the bells sounding." (Sense 4)
    "They drive every Sunday... in a sometimes-exhausting attempt/endeavor to keep the bells sounding." (Sense 1)

    Usually, "in an effort to" is a standard idiom for "in an attempt to" (Sense 1). However, the context describes a long-term, organized activity involving multiple people and locations, which fits the "series of actions" in Sense 4.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 4 again: "supported populist campaigns", "worked in the cause of world peace". These are larger-scale.
    The ringers' activity is a small-scale version of this.

    Let's look at Sense 1 again: "made an effort to cover all the reading material". This is a personal attempt.

    Wait, "effort" in "in an effort to" is almost always Sense 1 (attempt).
    But "a sometimes-exhausting effort" makes it a noun phrase describing the whole operation.

    Let's search for "effort" in similar contexts.
    "A concerted effort to..." often means a joint attempt (Sense 1) or a campaign (Sense 4).

    If I have to choose between 1 and 4:
    Sense 1 is a general "try".
    Sense 4 is a "campaign/drive".
    The ringers' activity is a sustained, organized drive to save the bell-ringing tradition.

    Let's re-examine Sense 2: "use of physical or mental energy; hard work".
    "sometimes-exhausting effort". This adjective "exhausting" modifies "effort". If the effort is exhausting, it's because it requires a lot of energy (Sense 2).
    But the phrase is "effort to keep the bells sounding". You don't usually say "the hard work to keep the bells sounding" in that exact structure; you say "the effort to keep the bells sounding".

    Actually, looking at the structure "in a [adjective] effort to [verb]", it most frequently maps to Sense 1 (attempt/endeavor) or Sense 4 (campaign/drive).

    Let's compare:
    1. "In an effort to save money, he stopped eating out." (Attempt)
    4. "The city's effort to clean up the streets has been successful." (Campaign/Drive)

    The ringers' activity is more like the city's effort to clean up the streets—it's a sustained, organized program.

    Let's check Sense 4 again: "a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end".
    Driving every Sunday to different churches = series of actions.
    Keeping the bells sounding = particular end.

    This fits Sense 4 very well.

    Let's double-check Sense 1: "earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something".
    This also fits.

    Is there a nuance? Sense 4 is more about a *collective* or *organized* series of actions (campaign, drive). The ringers are a "group of 15 ringers". This collective nature points toward Sense 4.

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 4: campaign, cause, crusade, drive, movement.
    "They drive every Sunday... in a sometimes-exhausting drive to keep the bells sounding."
    This sounds very natural.

    Let's look at the synonyms for Sense 1: attempt, endeavor, try.
    "They drive every Sunday... in a sometimes-exhausting attempt to keep the bells sounding."
    This also sounds natural.

    However, "effort" as a "campaign" (Sense 4) is often used for these kinds of sustained, organized activities.

    Let's re-read the context one more time.
    "They belong to a group of 15 ringers... who drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding..."

    This is a collective, ongoing project. Sense 4 seems the most precise.

    Wait, let me search for "in an effort to" in dictionaries.
    Merriam-Webster: "effort" (noun)
    1a: a strenuous exertion
    1b: a determined attempt
    2: a notable achievement

    Oxford:
    1. physical or mental energy needed to do something.
    2. an attempt to do something.
    3. a particular achievement.

    The provided senses are more detailed.
    Sense 1: earnest and conscientious activity intended to do or accomplish something (attempt, endeavor).
    Sense 4: a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end (campaign, cause, crusade, drive, movement).

    If the "effort" is the *entire program* of driving from church to church, it's a "drive" or "campaign" (Sense 4). If it's just the *act* of trying, it's Sense 1.

    Given the "group of 15 ringers" and the "every Sunday" regularity, it's a sustained campaign.

    Let's consider Sense 2 again. "sometimes-exhausting effort".
    If "effort" means "hard work" (Sense 2), the sentence would be "in a sometimes-exhausting hard work to keep the bells sounding," which doesn't make sense. "Effort" must be the *activity* that is exhausting.

    So it's between 1 and 4.
    Sense 1: "made an effort to cover all the reading material" (individual, often short-term).
    Sense 4: "supported populist campaigns", "worked in the cause of world peace" (collective, long-term, goal-oriented).

    The ringers' activity is collective and long-term.

    Final check:
    Context: "drive every Sunday from church to church in a sometimes-exhausting effort to keep the bells sounding"
    Sense 4: "a series of actions advancing a principle or tending toward a particular end"
    Synonyms: campaign, drive.
    "a sometimes-exhausting drive to keep the bells sounding" - Fits perfectly.
