    Wait, let's look closer at Sense 10. Sense 10 defines "good" (or "adept") in the context of skill. "Best" is the superlative of "good".

    If "best" is used to mean "most skilled", is it Sense 1 (the general superlative of "good") or is it a superlative of the specific sense of "good" described in Sense 10?

    Usually, in these types of tasks, if the word is "best" and it means "most skilled", and there's a general "superlative of good" (Sense 1) and a specific "good" meaning "skilled" (Sense 10), we have to decide if "best" maps to the general superlative or if the list provided is actually a list of senses for "good" and "best" is just the superlative form.

    Let's re-read the senses. They look like they are mostly definitions of "good".
    Sense 1: superlative of `good`
    Sense 2: comparative and superlative of `well`
    Sense 3: good (desirable)
    ...
    Sense 10: good (skillful)

    If the word is "best", and it means "most skillful", it is the superlative of "good" (meaning skillful).

    Does Sense 1 cover all superlatives of "good"?
    Sense 1: "superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities".

    If the context is "one of England's best female ringers", it means she has the most skill (the most positive quality for a ringer).

    Let's check if any other sense fits better.
    Sense 10 is "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude". This is the definition of "good" in the sense of "skillful". "Best" is the superlative of that.

    Wait, the prompt asks which *numbered sense* of "best" is used.
    If the list provided is a list of senses for "good" (with some superlatives included), then "best" as "most skilled" is the superlative of Sense 10.

    However, Sense 1 is explicitly "superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities".

    Let's compare:
    - Sense 1: Superlative of good (most positive qualities).
    - Sense 10: Good (skillful).

    In "best female ringers", "best" means "most skillful".
    Is "most skillful" a "most positive quality" (Sense 1) or is it the superlative of "skillful" (Sense 10)?

    Usually, in these datasets (like WordNet), "best" is the superlative of "good". If the sense of "good" is "skillful" (Sense 10), then "best" is the superlative of that specific sense.

    But let's look at the options again.
    Sense 1 is specifically labeled as the "superlative of `good`".
    Sense 10 is not labeled as a superlative; it's a definition of "good" (or "adept").

    If the word in the text is "best", and the sense is "most skilled", and Sense 1 is the only one explicitly called the "superlative of good", it's a strong candidate. But Sense 10 *is* the meaning of "good" that is being superlativized.

    Let's re-examine Sense 1: "superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities".
    Let's re-examine Sense 10: "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude | synonyms=adept, expert, good, practiced, proficient, skillful".

    If the word is "best", it *must* be a superlative.
    Sense 1 is a superlative.
    Sense 2 is a comparative/superlative.
    Senses 3-23 are definitions of "good" (the positive form).

    If the word is "best", it can't be Sense 10 *unless* the sense number refers to the underlying meaning of "good" being used. But the question asks for the sense of "best".

    Wait, let's look at Sense 1 again: "having the most positive qualities".
    Is "most skilled" the same as "having the most positive qualities"? Yes, in the context of being a ringer.

    Let's double-check if "best" could be Sense 2.
    Sense 2: "comparative and superlative of `well') wiser or more advantageous and hence advisable".
    Example: "the White House thought it best not to respond".
    This doesn't fit "best female ringers".

    So it's either Sense 1 or Sense 10.
    If the list is a list of senses for the *lemma* "good", and "best" is the superlative form, then "best" (most skilled) would be the superlative of Sense 10.
    But if the list is a list of senses for the *word* "best" (and "good"), and Sense 1 is the general superlative, then Sense 1 is the answer.

    Wait, look at the examples for Sense 1: "the best film of the year; the best solution".
    These are general "most positive qualities".
    "Best female ringers" fits this pattern perfectly.

    Let's look at Sense 10 again: "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude | synonyms=adept, expert, good, practiced, proficient, skillful | examples=adept in handicrafts; an adept juggler".
    The examples for Sense 10 use the word "adept", not "good" or "best". This suggests Sense 10 is the definition of "adept" or "good" (meaning skillful).

    If the word in the text is "best", and it means "most skillful", it is the superlative of "good" (meaning skillful).

    Is there a distinction between "the best" (Sense 1) and "the most skillful" (superlative of Sense 10)?
    In many dictionary structures, the superlative "best" is just mapped to the sense of "good" it's derived from.

    Let's re-read: "one of England's best female ringers."
    This means she is among the most skilled.
    Sense 10: "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude".

    If I have to choose between 1 and 10:
    Sense 1 is "superlative of good".
    Sense 10 is "good" (meaning skillful).

    If the word is "best", it is the superlative. Sense 1 is the only one (other than Sense 2) that is explicitly called a superlative.

    Let's think about this again. If the word is "best", and it means "most skilled", and Sense 10 is "skillful", then "best" is the superlative of Sense 10. But Sense 1 is *the* superlative of "good".

    Wait, let's look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "the best film of the year; the best solution".
    These are examples of "best" meaning "most positive qualities".
    "Best female ringers" = "female ringers with the most positive qualities (skill)".

    Let's search for this specific sense list. It looks like it might be from a WordNet-based dataset. In WordNet, "best" is the superlative of "good".

    If the word is "best", and the meaning is "most skilled", and the options are:
    1. Superlative of good (most positive qualities)
    10. Good (skillful)

    Usually, the most specific sense is preferred. "Most skilled" is more specific than "most positive qualities".

    Let's re-read Sense 10: "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude | synonyms=adept, expert, good, practiced, proficient, skillful".
    If "best" is the superlative of "good", and "good" in this context means "skillful", then "best" means "most skillful".

    Let's try to see if "best" can be Sense 1.
    "the best film of the year" - the film with the most positive qualities.
    "the best solution" - the solution with the most positive qualities.
    "the best female ringers" - the ringers with the most positive qualities (skill).

    This fits.

    Let's try to see if "best" can be Sense 10.
    Sense 10 is "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude".
    "best" = "most having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude".

    Wait, the prompt asks "Which numbered sense of 'best' (marked with <t></t>) is used".
    If the word is "best", and the sense is "most skilled", and Sense 10 is "skillful", then Sense 10 is the *meaning* of the word "good" that is being used in its superlative form.

    Let's look at the other senses again.
    Sense 3: "having desirable or positive qualities especially those suitable for a thing specified" (good news, good report card).
    Sense 14: "most suitable or right for a particular purpose" (a good time to plant tomatoes).

    If "best" was the superlative of Sense 14, it would be "the most suitable".
    If "best" was the superlative of Sense 10, it would be "the most skillful".

    Is "best" in "best female ringers" more like "most skillful" (10) or "most positive qualities" (1)?

    In most NLP tasks of this type (like SENSEVAL or SemCor), the superlative "best" is mapped to the specific sense of "good" it's derived from.

    Let's test this:
    If the word was "good female ringers", it would be Sense 10.
    Since the word is "best female ringers", it's the superlative of "good female ringers".
    Therefore, it's the superlative of Sense 10.

    But wait, Sense 1 is *already* the superlative of "good".
    Sense 1: "superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities".

    If Sense 1 is the *only* superlative sense for "good" (other than Sense 2 for "well"), then all "best" (meaning "most good") should map to Sense 1, regardless of whether "good" means "skillful", "moral", or "pleasant".

    Wait, let me re-read the list again.
    Sense 1: superlative of `good`
    Sense 2: comparative and superlative of `well`
    Sense 3: good (desirable)
    ...
    Sense 10: good (skillful)

    If the word is "best", and it means "most skillful", and Sense 1 is the general superlative of "good", and Sense 10 is the specific meaning of "good" as "skillful", which one is it?

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "the best film of the year; the best solution".
    These are not just any "best", they are "best" in the sense of "most positive qualities".

    Let's look at Sense 10 again: "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude | synonyms=adept, expert, good, practiced, proficient, skillful".

    If the word is "best", it's the superlative of "good".
    If "good" = "skillful" (Sense 10), then "best" = "most skillful".

    Is "most skillful" the same as "having the most positive qualities" (Sense 1)?
    Yes, but it's more specific.

    Let's think about how these datasets are usually structured. If the word is "best", and the sense is "most skillful", and there's a sense for "good" that means "skillful", the answer is often that specific sense.

    Wait, I just noticed something. Let me re-read the senses one more time.
    Sense 1: superlative of `good`
    Sense 2: comparative and superlative of `well`
    Senses 3-23: These are all definitions of "good".

    If the word is "best", it *must* be the superlative of one of the senses of "good".
    If the sense of "good" is "skillful" (Sense 10), then "best" is the superlative of Sense 10.

    But Sense 1 is *already* "superlative of `good`". This is very confusing. If Sense 1 is the only superlative, then all "best"s go there. But if Sense 1 is just *one* sense of "best" (meaning "most positive qualities" in a general sense), then "best" (meaning "most skillful") would be the superlative of Sense 10.

    Let's re-examine Sense 1: "superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities".
    This is a very general definition. "Most skillful" is a specific way of "having the most positive qualities".

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "the best film of the year; the best solution".
    These are examples where "best" means "the one that is most good".

    Let's look at the context: "one of England's best female ringers".
    This means "one of the most skillful female ringers".

    If I have to choose between 1 and 10...
    If the word is "best", and the meaning is "most skillful", and Sense 10 is "skillful", then Sense 10 is the most precise meaning.

    Let me search for this sense list online. It looks like it's from WordNet.
    In WordNet:
    - good (adj):
        - sense 1: having the most positive qualities (this is actually the definition of "best")
        - sense 2: (this is "well")
        - sense 3: (desirable)
        - ...
        - sense 10: (skillful)

    Wait, if Sense 1 is "superlative of good", then it *is* the word "best".
    If Sense 10 is "good" (meaning skillful), then the superlative of Sense 10 is also "best".

    This is a common problem in these tasks. Let's think about the most likely answer.
    In most cases, the most specific sense is the correct one. "Skillful" (10) is more specific than "most positive qualities" (1).

    Let's double-check the context again.
    "one of England's best female ringers"
    "best" = most skilled.
    Sense 10 = "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude".

    This is a perfect match for the *meaning* of the word.

    Let's double-check Sense 1 again.
    Sense 1 = "superlative of `good') having the most positive qualities".
    This is a general definition of "best".

    If the word is "best", and it means "most skillful", is it more likely to be Sense 1 (the general superlative) or Sense 10 (the specific meaning of "good" being superlativized)?

    Let's try to find other examples.
    "The best player on the team" -> most skillful (Sense 10)
    "The best movie" -> most positive qualities (Sense 1)
    "The best way to do it" -> most suitable (Sense 14)

    Wait, if "the best way to do it" is the superlative of "the good way to do it" (Sense 14), then "the best player" is the superlative of "the good player" (Sense 10).

    So, if the word is "best", and

    *   Sense 1: "superlative of 'good' having the most positive qualities"
    *   Sense 10: "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude | synonyms=adept, expert, good, practiced, proficient, skillful"

    Wait, Sense 10 is a definition for "good" (or "adept"), not specifically "best". Let's look at the senses again. The list provided seems to be a mix of definitions for "good" and its superlative "best".

    "one of England's best female ringers" means she is among the most skilled.
    "Best" is the superlative of "good".
    If "good" in the context of skill is Sense 10, then "best" (the superlative of that "good") would be the most skilled.

    However, Sense 1 is explicitly "superlative of 'good' having the most positive qualities".

    Let's re-read Sense 10: "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude | synonyms=adept, expert, good, practiced, proficient, skillful". This is a definition of "good" (or "adept").

    Is "best" used here as the superlative of "good" (Sense 1) or is it specifically referring to the skill (Sense 10)?

    Usually, in these types of tasks, if the word is "best" and there's a general "superlative of good" (Sense 1) and a specific "good" meaning "skillful" (Sense 10), we have to decide if "best" maps to the superlative of the general "good" or the superlative of the specific "good".

    Wait, the prompt asks which *numbered sense of "best"* is used. But the senses provided are mostly definitions of "good".

    Let's look at the senses again.
    1. superlative of `good`
    2. comparative and superlative of `well`
    3. good (desirable)
    ...
    10. good (skillful)

    If the word is "best", it must be a superlative. Senses 1 and 2 are the only ones explicitly mentioned as superlatives. Sense 2 is "wiser or more advantageous". Sense 1 is "having the most positive qualities".

    If "best" means "most skillful", and "skillful" is Sense 10, then "best" is the superlative of Sense 10. But Sense 1 is the general superlative of "good".

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 1: "superlative of `good` having the most positive qualities".
    In "best female ringers", "best" means the most skilled. Skill is a positive quality.

    Let's check if any other sense fits better.
    Sense 10: "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude". This is a definition of "good". If the word in the text was "good female ringers", Sense 10 would be perfect. Since the word is "best", it's the superlative of "good".

    Does "best" map to Sense 1 (the general superlative) or Sense 10 (the specific meaning of "good" as "skillful")?

    In many WordNet-style datasets, the superlative "best" is mapped to the sense of "good" it derives from. If "best" means "most skillful", it maps to the "skillful" sense of "good".

    Let's re-examine the senses:
    1. superlative of `good`
    10. having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude (synonyms: adept, expert, good...)

    If I have to choose one, and "best" means "most skillful", Sense 10 is the most specific description of the *quality* being measured, while Sense 1 is the *grammatical* description of "best".

    Wait, let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "the best film of the year; the best solution". These are also superlatives of "good".

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 10: "adept in handicrafts; an adept juggler". (Wait, the examples for Sense 10 are for "adept", not "good").

    Let's re-read Sense 10: "definition=having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude | synonyms=adept, expert, good, practiced, proficient, skillful | examples=adept in handicrafts; an adept juggler".

    If the word is "best", and it means "most skillful", it is the superlative of "good" (meaning skillful).

    Let's compare:
    Sense 1: superlative of `good` (most positive qualities)
    Sense 10: good (skillful)

    If the word is "best", and the meaning is "most skillful", it's the superlative of Sense 10.

    Wait, let me look at the list again. Is it possible that "best" is being used as a synonym for "most skillful"? Yes.

    Let's try to see if "best" can be Sense 1. "one of England's best female ringers" = "one of England's most positive-quality female ringers". That's a bit vague.

    Let's try Sense 10. "one of England's [most] skillful female ringers". That's exactly what it means.

    In many NLP tasks (like those using WordNet), the superlative "best" is linked to the specific sense of "good" it's modifying.

    Let's double-check the other senses just in case.
    Sense 14: "most suitable or right for a particular purpose" - No.
    Sense 23: "generally admired" - No.

    So it's between 1 and 10.

    If the word is "best", and the sense is "most skillful", and Sense 10 is "skillful", then 10 is the most precise answer.

    Let's re-read Sense 1: "superlative of `good` having the most positive qualities". This is a very general definition.

    Let's re-read Sense 10: "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude".

    If the word in the text is "best", and the meaning is "most skillful", Sense 10 is the specific quality.

    Let's think about how these datasets are usually structured. Often, the superlative "best" is mapped to the sense of "good" that it's a superlative of.

    Example: "the best player" -> "good" (skillful)
    Example: "the best person" -> "good" (moral)
    Example: "the best movie" -> "good" (pleasing/high quality)

    In this case, "best female ringers" refers to their skill. Sense 10 is the "skillful" sense.

    Let's double-check Sense 1 again. "superlative of `good` having the most positive qualities". This is almost a tautology for any "best".

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "the best film of the year; the best solution".
    "The best film of the year" could be the most pleasing, the most artistic, the most technically proficient, etc.
    "The best solution" could be the most efficient, the most simple, the most effective, etc.

    "Best female ringers" specifically refers to their skill in ringing bells.

    Therefore, Sense 10 is the most specific and accurate description of the quality being referred to.

    Wait, let me re-read the prompt. "Which numbered sense of 'best' (marked with <t></t>) is used...".
    The senses provided are for "best" (or "good").

    If the word is "best", and the meaning is "most skillful", and Sense 10 is "skillful", then 10 is the most likely answer.

    Let's just quickly check if any other sense could fit.
    Sense 6: "deserving of esteem and respect" - No.
    Sense 23: "generally admired" - No.

    One more look at Sense 1: "superlative of `good` having the most positive qualities".
    One more look at Sense 10: "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude".

    If the word is "best", it's the superlative of "good".
    If "good" means "skillful" (Sense 10), then "best" means "most skillful".

    Let's consider if Sense 1 is more likely because it's explicitly called a "superlative".
    Sense 1: "superlative of `good`"
    Sense 2: "comparative and superlative of `well`"
    Senses 3-23: (no mention of superlative)

    Wait, if only Sense 1 and 2 are listed as superlatives, does that mean the others are only for "good"?
    Sense 3: "having desirable or positive qualities"
    Sense 10: "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude"

    If the word in the text is "best", and the only sense explicitly called a superlative of "good" is Sense 1, could that be the answer?

    Let's re-examine:
    "one of England's best female ringers"
    This is definitely a superlative.

    If the list is a list of senses for "good", and "best" is the superlative of "good", then "best" must map to one of the senses of "good".

    If the word is "best", and it means "most skillful", it maps to the sense of "good" that means "skillful". That is Sense 10.

    Let's test this logic. If the sentence was "He is a good ringer", the answer would be 10. If the sentence is "He is the best ringer", the answer should still be 10, because the quality being measured is still skill.

    Let's double-check Sense 1 again. "superlative of `good` having the most positive qualities". This is a very general definition of "best".

    In many of these tasks, the most specific sense is the correct one. "Skillful" is more specific than "most positive qualities".

    Let's search for this specific dataset format. It looks like it might be from a WordNet-based task. In WordNet, "best" is the superlative of "good".

    Let's re-read the senses one more time.
    1. superlative of `good` (most positive qualities)
    10. having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude (synonyms: adept, expert, good, practiced, proficient, skillful)

    If I choose 1, I'm saying it's the general superlative.
    If I choose 10, I'm saying it's the superlative of the "skillful" sense.

    Let's look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "the best film of the year; the best solution".
    These are very general. "Best film" could be anything. "Best solution" could be anything.

    "Best female ringers" is specifically about their skill.

    Let's try Sense 10.

    Wait, I just noticed something. Sense 1 says "superlative of `good`". Sense 10 says "synonyms=adept, expert, good, practiced, proficient, skillful".

    If the word is "best", it *is* the superlative of "good".

    Let's think: if the word was "best" and the meaning was "most moral", would the answer be 1 or 9?
    9. definition=of moral excellence | synonyms=good, just, upright

    If the word was "best" and the meaning was "most skillful", would the answer be 1 or 10?
    10. definition=having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude | synonyms=adept, expert, good, practiced, proficient, skillful

    It's much more likely that the task wants the specific quality (skill) than the general grammatical category (superlative).

    Final check:
    Context: "one of England's best female ringers"
    Meaning: Most skillful.
    Sense 10: "having or showing knowledge and skill and aptitude"
    Sense 1: "superlative of `good` having the most positive qualities"

    Sense 10 is more specific.

    *   The sentence says "It [the passion] is a passion that usually stays in the tower".
    *   This means the passion *remains* or *is confined to* that specific location.
    *   Comparing "The smell stayed in the room" (Sense 7) with "The passion stays in the tower", the usage is very similar. Both describe an abstract or non-human entity (smell, passion) remaining in a specific location.

    *   Sense 2 is more about a conscious decision or a physical state of not moving (e.g., "We are staying in Detroit").
    *   Sense 7 is about something persisting or remaining in a place (e.g., "The smell stayed in the room").

    The passion "stays" (remains/persists) in the tower. This matches Sense 7.

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

Context: Far above in the belfry, the huge bronze bells, mounted on wheels, swing madly through a full 360 degrees, starting and ending, surprisingly, in the inverted, or mouth-up position. Skilled ringers use their wrists to advance or retard the next swing, so that one bell can swap places with another in the following change. 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, <t>however</t>. More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry.

reasoning_content:
*   Context: A passage about church bell ringing.
    *   Target word: "however" (marked with `<t></t>`).
    *   Sentence: "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, <t>however</t>."
    *   Preceding sentence: "Ringing does become a bit of an obsession," admits Stephanie Pattenden...
    *   Following sentence: "More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry."

    *   The text discusses the passion and obsession of bell ringing.
    *   It says it's an obsession, *but* (however) this passion usually stays confined to the tower (meaning it doesn't necessarily bleed into the rest of their lives or the religious aspect of the church).
    *   The following sentence reinforces this: they see the church as just something attached to the belfry.

    *   Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary" (nevertheless, still, yet).
    *   Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand".
    *   Sense 3: "to whatever degree or extent".
    *   Sense 4: "in whatever way or manner".

    *   Is it Sense 3 or 4? No. It's not used as "no matter how" or "in whatever way".
    *   Is it Sense 1 or 2?
        *   Sense 1 (Nevertheless/Yet): "Ringing is an obsession. Nevertheless, it stays in the tower."
        *   Sense 2 (By contrast/On the other hand): "Ringing is an obsession. On the other hand, it stays in the tower."

    *   Let's look closer at the contrast.
    *   The obsession is a strong feeling. The fact that it "stays in the tower" contrasts the intensity of the passion with its limited scope/application.
    *   Sense 1 is often used after a concession ("Although X, however Y").
    *   Sense 2 is used to contrast two different points or situations.

    *   Wait, let's re-read the context.
    *   "Ringing does become a bit of an obsession... It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
    *   This is contrasting the *nature* of the obsession (intense) with its *location/scope* (limited).
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
        *   Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary" (e.g., "I was tired; however, I kept going").
        *   Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand" (e.g., "The first part was easy; the second, however, took hours").

    *   In the text: "Ringing is an obsession [strong/all-consuming]. [But] it stays in the tower [limited/contained]."
    *   This feels like a contrast between the intensity of the passion and its limited reach.

    *   Let's check if "nevertheless" (Sense 1) fits better than "on the other hand" (Sense 2).
    *   "Ringing is an obsession. Nevertheless, it stays in the tower." (Works)
    *   "Ringing is an obsession. On the other hand, it stays in the tower." (Works)

    *   Let's look at the examples provided in the prompt:
        *   Sense 1: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" (Concession).
        *   Sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours" (Contrast between two things).

    *   In the text, the contrast is between the *intensity* of the passion (obsession) and the *scope* of the passion (stays in the tower). This is a contrast between two aspects of the same thing.

    *   Actually, looking at common dictionary definitions (like Merriam-Webster or Oxford):
        *   "However" as a conjunctive adverb meaning "but" or "nevertheless" is often grouped together.
        *   Sense 1 here is "despite anything to the contrary" (nevertheless).
        *   Sense 2 is "by contrast; on the other hand".

    *   Is the author saying "Despite being an obsession, it stays in the tower" or "It's an obsession; conversely, it stays in the tower"?
    *   The most natural reading is "Despite being an obsession (which one might expect to permeate all of life), it stays in the tower." This aligns well with Sense 1.

    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 2: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours". This is a direct contrast between two different entities (first part vs second part).
    *   In the text, we are talking about the *same* passion. "It is an obsession... [but] it stays in the tower."

    *   Let's try Sense 1 again: "despite anything to the contrary".
    *   "Ringing is an obsession. Despite that [the fact that it's an obsession], it stays in the tower." This makes a lot of sense because an obsession usually takes over everything.

    *   Wait, let me look at the senses again.
    *   Sense 1: despite anything to the contrary (nevertheless, still, yet).
    *   Sense 2: by contrast; on the other hand.

    *   If I say "I love chocolate. I hate vanilla, however," that's Sense 2.
    *   If I say "I love chocolate. I'm on a diet, however," that's Sense 1.

    *   "Ringing is an obsession. It stays in the tower, however."
    *   Is "staying in the tower" the opposite of "being an obsession"? Not exactly. But it is *contrary* to the typical nature of an obsession.

    *   Let's check the flow:
        1. Ringing is an obsession.
        2. It stays in the tower, however.
        3. They think of the church as just something stuck on the bottom.

    *   The "however" signals that the obsession doesn't extend to the religious part of the church.

    *   Comparing Sense 1 and 2 again:
        Sense 1: "despite anything to the contrary"
        Sense 2: "by contrast; on the other hand"

    *   If the author meant Sense 2, they would be contrasting the *obsession* with the *location*.
    *   If the author meant Sense 1, they are saying that *despite* it being an obsession, it is limited to the tower.

    *   Usually, "however" used as "nevertheless" (Sense 1) is used when the second statement is surprising given the first. Is it surprising that an obsession stays in the tower? Yes, because obsessions usually expand.

    *   Let's look at Sense 2 again: "the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours". This is a contrast between two different things.
    *   Here, we are talking about the *same* passion.

    *   Therefore, Sense 1 ("nevertheless") fits better than Sense 2 ("on the other hand").

    *   Wait, let me double-check.
    *   "Ringing does become a bit of an obsession... It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
    *   Could it be Sense 2? "It's an obsession [in the tower]. On the other hand, it stays in the tower [and doesn't go outside]." No, that doesn't make sense.
    *   "It's an obsession [which is a strong thing]. By contrast, it stays in the tower [which is a limited thing]." This is a contrast.

    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1 again: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it". (Concession: I'm afraid, but I'll do it anyway).
    *   "Ringing is an obsession, but it stays in the tower." (Concession: It's an obsession, but it's limited).

    *   This fits Sense 1 very well.

    *   Sense 1: nevertheless, still, yet.
    *   "Ringing does become a bit of an obsession... It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, yet." (No, "yet" at the end doesn't work like that, but "still" or "nevertheless" does).
    *   "Ringing does become a bit of an obsession... It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, nevertheless." (Works).

    *   Sense 2: by contrast, on the other hand.
    *   "Ringing does become a bit of an obsession... It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, on the other hand." (Works, but feels slightly less precise than "nevertheless" in this context of an obsession being limited).

    *   Let's re-read the whole paragraph.
    *   The paragraph describes the technicality and the passion.
    *   "Ringing does become a bit of an obsession... It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however."
    *   The contrast is between the *intensity* of the passion and its *limited scope*.

    *   Looking at the provided senses again:
        1. despite anything to the contrary (nevertheless, still, yet)
        2. by contrast; on the other hand

    *   In many dictionaries, these two are very similar. But "despite anything to the contrary" (Sense 1) implies that the second point is surprising or unexpected given the first. "By contrast" (Sense 2) simply points out a difference.

    *   Is it surprising that an obsession stays in the tower? Yes, that's the point the author is making. The obsession is intense, *but* it's confined.

    *   Let's try Sense 2 again. "The first part was easy; the second, however, took hours." This is a contrast between two different things (part 1 and part 2).
    *   In the text, we have:
        Thing A: Ringing is an obsession.
        Thing B: The passion stays in the tower.
        These are two different aspects of the same activity.

    *   Actually, looking at the structure "It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however," this is a very common way to use "however" to mean "nevertheless" or "but".

    *   Let's double-check Sense 1's example: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it". This is a classic "despite X, Y" structure.
    *   Our text: "Ringing is an obsession [X], however it stays in the tower [Y]." (Despite being an obsession, it stays in the tower).

    *   This matches Sense 1.

    *   Meaning in context: The belfry is the tower/room where bells are kept. The church building is physically located below the belfry. So, the church is at the lowest part of the belfry structure (or the belfry is on top of the church).

Senses:
1. definition=come or bring to a finish or an end | synonyms=finish | examples=He finished the dishes; She completed the requirements for her Master's Degree
2. definition=bring to a whole, with all the necessary parts or elements | examples=A child would complete the family

4. definition=complete a pass | synonyms=nail
5. definition=write all the required information onto a form | synonyms=fill out, fill in, make out | examples=fill out this questionnaire, please!; make out a form

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "When their changes are <t>completed</t>, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub..."
    *   Target word: "completed" (from "complete").
    *   Meaning in context: The "changes" (sequences of bell ringing) have been finished or brought to an end.

    *   Sense 1: "come or bring to a finish or an end" (synonym: finish). Example: "He finished the dishes."
    *   Sense 2: "bring to a whole, with all the necessary parts or elements". Example: "A child would complete the family."
    *   Sense 3: "complete or carry out" (synonyms: dispatch, discharge). Example: "discharge one's duties."
    *   Sense 4: "complete a pass" (sports context).
    *   Sense 5: "write all the required information onto a form" (synonym: fill out).

    *   The "changes" in bell ringing are a set sequence. When they are "completed," it means the sequence has been finished.
    *   This aligns perfectly with Sense 1: "come or bring to a finish or an end."

    *   Sense 2 (making whole) doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 3 (carrying out duties) is close, but "changes" are a task/sequence being finished, not a duty being discharged in the formal sense.
    *   Sense 4 (sports) is irrelevant.
    *   Sense 5 (forms) is irrelevant.

4. definition=use of physical or mental energy; hard work | synonyms=effort, elbow grease, exertion, travail | examples=he got an A for effort; they managed only with great exertion

reasoning_content:
*   Context: "...after they have worked up a <t>sweat</t>, ringers often skip off to the local pub..."
    *   Target word: "sweat"
    *   Senses provided:
        1.  Salty fluid secreted by sweat glands (perspiration).
        2.  Agitation resulting from active worry (fret/stew).
        3.  Condensation of moisture on a cold surface.
        4.  Use of physical or mental energy; hard work (effort/exertion).

    *   The sentence says ringers "worked up a sweat" after completing their changes (ringing church bells).
    *   Ringing church bells is a physical activity.
    *   "Working up a sweat" is a common idiom meaning to engage in physical exertion to the point where one begins to perspire.

    *   Sense 1: Salty fluid (perspiration). This fits the literal result of the physical activity.
    *   Sense 2: Agitation/worry. This does not fit the context of ringing bells and then going to a pub.
    *   Sense 3: Condensation. This does not fit.
    *   Sense 4: Use of physical or mental energy (hard work). While ringing bells is hard work, the phrase "worked up a sweat" specifically refers to the physiological response (perspiration) resulting from that work.

    *   "Worked up a sweat" usually refers to the physical act of perspiring (Sense 1).
    *   Wait, let me double-check Sense 4. Sense 4 is "use of physical or mental energy; hard work".
    *   If someone says "I worked up a sweat," they usually mean they are physically perspiring.
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 1: "sweat poured off his brow".
    *   Let's look at the examples for Sense 4: "he got an A for effort; they managed only with great exertion".
    *   The phrase "work up a sweat" is an idiom. Does it mean the *effort* or the *perspiration*?
    *   Literally, it's the perspiration. Figuratively, it can mean hard work.
    *   However, in the context of physical activity like ringing bells, the most direct meaning is the perspiration resulting from the effort.

    *   Sense 1: perspiration.
    *   Sense 4: effort/exertion.
    *   "Worked up a sweat" $\rightarrow$ The result is perspiration.
    *   Comparing "worked up a sweat" to "put in a lot of sweat" (which would be Sense 4).
    *   "Worked up a sweat" almost always refers to the physical state of perspiring.

    *   Context: "...after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub..."
    *   This describes the physical state they are in after the activity.
    *   Sense 1 is the most accurate.
