Target lemma: entire
Target surface form: entire
Context:
It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however. More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry. When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below. This does not sit well with some clerics. With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the <t>entire</t> band; the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest. "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says.

    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `entire%5:00:02:whole:00`: constituting the undiminished entirety; lacking nothing essential especially not damaged (integral, intact).
        2.  `entire%5:00:01:whole:00`: constituting the full quantity or extent; complete (full, total).
        3.  `entire%5:00:00:smooth:02`: (of leaves or petals) having a smooth edge.
        4.  `entire%5:00:00:uncastrated:00`: (used of domestic animals) sexually competent.

    *   The sentence is "he sacked the entire band".
    *   "Entire" here modifies "band" (a group of people).
    *   It means he sacked *all* of the members of the band, the full group.

    *   Sense 1: "undiminished entirety; lacking nothing essential especially not damaged". This is more about integrity or being intact (e.g., "keep the collection entire").
    *   Sense 2: "constituting the full quantity or extent; complete". Synonyms: "full, total". Example: "an entire town devastated". This fits perfectly. "The entire band" = "the full/total band".
    *   Sense 3: Botanical term (smooth edge). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 4: Animal term (uncastrated). Not applicable.

    *   Sense 2 is the correct fit for "the entire band" (meaning all of them).

reasoning_content:
*   Target word: "promptly"
    *   Context: "...the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone... sacked the entire band; the ringers <t>promptly</t> set up a picket line in protest."
    *   Meaning: The ringers reacted immediately after being sacked.

    *   Sense 1: "in a punctual manner" (e.g., doing homework on time).
    *   Sense 2: "at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)" (e.g., promptly forgot the address).
    *   Sense 3: "with little or no delay" (e.g., rescue squad arrived promptly).

    *   The ringers set up a picket line immediately after being sacked.
    *   Is it "punctual" (Sense 1)? No.
    *   Is it "at once" (Sense 2)? Yes.
    *   Is it "with little or no delay" (Sense 3)? Yes.

    *   Sense 2 specifically mentions "usually modifies an undesirable occurrence". Setting up a picket line in protest is generally seen as an undesirable occurrence from the perspective of the person being protested against (the vicar), or a reactive, sudden action.
    *   Sense 3 is a more general "quickly/without delay".
    *   Looking at the example for Sense 2: "he promptly forgot the address". This is a sudden, immediate reaction.
    *   Looking at the example for Sense 3: "the rescue squad arrived promptly". This is a positive or neutral efficiency.
    *   In the context "sacked the entire band; the ringers promptly set up a picket line", the action is a direct, immediate reaction to a negative event.

    *   Sense 2: "at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)".
    *   Sense 3: "with little or no delay".
    *   The action of setting up a picket line is a reaction. "Promptly" here means "immediately after".
    *   Comparing "promptly forgot" (Sense 2) vs "arrived promptly" (Sense 3).
    *   The picket line is a reaction to being sacked. It's an immediate response.
    *   Often, "promptly" in the sense of "immediately following an event" (especially a negative one) aligns with Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: Punctuality (not this).
    *   Sense 2: At once / immediately (often undesirable).
    *   Sense 3: Quickly / without delay.
    *   The ringers didn't wait; they acted immediately.
    *   Is setting up a picket line "undesirable"? To the vicar, yes. Is it a sudden reaction? Yes.
    *   However, Sense 3 is the general "without delay".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 2: "at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)".
    *   Let's re-read Sense 3: "with little or no delay".
    *   In many linguistic datasets (like WordNet), "promptly" meaning "immediately after" is often mapped to the "at once" sense.
    *   Example: "He stepped on a nail and promptly started limping." (Sense 2).
    *   Example: "The ringers were sacked and promptly set up a picket line." (Similar structure).

    *   Sense 2: "at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)"
    *   Sense 3: "with little or no delay"
    *   The picket line is a reaction to the sacking. It fits the "at once" pattern of Sense 2 better than the "efficient/quick" pattern of Sense 3.

    *   Sense 2: "he promptly forgot the address" (immediate, often negative/unintended).
    *   Sense 3: "the rescue squad arrived promptly" (efficient, timely).
    *   The ringers' action is a reaction to a conflict. It's more "at once" than "efficiently".

    *   Wait, looking at Sense 2 again: "usually modifies an undesirable occurrence". Is setting up a picket line an undesirable occurrence? Yes, in the context of the conflict.
    *   Is it "with little or no delay"? Yes.
    *   Usually, "promptly" meaning "immediately after" is Sense 2.

    *   Sense 1: Punctual (No)
    *   Sense 2: At once (Yes)
    *   Sense 3: Without delay (Yes)
    *   The distinction between 2 and 3 is subtle. 2 is often used for immediate reactions (often negative), while 3 is often used for speed or efficiency.
    *   "Sacked... promptly set up a picket line" is a reaction.

    *   Sense 2: "at once"
    *   Sense 3: "with little or no delay"
    *   Actually, "promptly" in "promptly set up a picket line" means they did it immediately after the sacking. This is a classic "at once" usage.

    *   Sense 2: "at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)"
    *   Sense 3: "with little or no delay"
    *   If I have to choose the *best* one, Sense 2's "at once" fits the reactive nature of the sentence better than the "efficiency" implied by Sense 3.

    *   Sense 2: "he promptly forgot the address"
    *   Sense 3: "the rescue squad arrived promptly"
    *   The picket line is more like "forgot the address" (immediate reaction) than "rescue squad arrived" (timely arrival).

    *   Sense 2 is the best fit.

    *   Sense 1: "public (often organized) manifestation of dissent" -> Picket line fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 2: "formal and solemn declaration" -> Not a picket line.
    *   Sense 3: "strong public expression of disagreement" -> This is close, but "manifestation" (Sense 1) is a better fit for a physical action like a picket line than "expression" (Sense 3), which often refers to verbal or written protests (as seen in the examples "shouted his protests").

    *   Sense 1 is the most accurate description of a picket line.

    *   The phrase "self-perpetuating club" refers to the group of ringers who only let their own kind in or maintained their own internal culture, separate from the church congregation. This aligns perfectly with "a formal association of people with similar interests" (Sense 5).

    *   Context: The text discusses church bell ringers, belfries, and a vicar. The specific sentence is: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the <t>tower</t> as sort of a separate premises," the Vicar Hummerstone says.
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `tower%1:25:00::`: anything that approximates the shape of a column or tower (e.g., column of powder, tower of dust).
        2.  `tower%1:06:00::`: a structure taller than its diameter; can stand alone or be attached to a larger building.
        3.  `tower%1:06:01::`: a powerful small boat (tugboat).

    *   The context mentions "church", "belfry", "ringers" (bell ringers), and "premises".
    *   In the context of a church and bell ringing, the "tower" refers to the bell tower (the structure where the bells are housed).
    *   Sense 1 is for things that *look* like towers (dust, powder).
    *   Sense 2 is for a physical structure (building/attachment).
    *   Sense 3 is for a boat.

    *   Sense 2 fits perfectly: "a structure taller than its diameter; can stand alone or be attached to a larger building." A church tower fits this description.

Target lemma: sort
Target surface form: sort
Context:
More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry. When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below. This does not sit well with some clerics. With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band; the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest. "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as <t>sort</t> of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says. An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation.

Candidate senses:

        1.  `sort%1:07:00::`: an approximate definition or example (e.g., "sort of magenta dress")
        2.  `sort%1:22:00::`: an operation that segregates items into groups (sorting)

        4.  `sort%1:09:00::`: a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic (e.g., "kind", "variety")

    *   The phrase is "sort of a separate premises".
    *   In this context, "sort of" is used as a hedge or a qualifier meaning "to some extent" or "approximately".
    *   Looking at the candidate senses:
        *   Sense 1: "an approximate definition or example" (Example: "she wore a sort of magenta dress"). This matches the usage of "sort of" as a qualifier for "separate premises".
        *   Sense 2: "an operation that segregates items" (sorting). Not applicable.
        *   Sense 3: "a person of a particular character". Not applicable.
        *   Sense 4: "a category of things". While "sort" often means "kind", in the phrase "sort of a [noun phrase]", it often functions as a hedge (Sense 1) rather than a literal category (Sense 4).

    *   "treated the tower as sort of a separate premises"
    *   Does it mean "a category of separate premises" (Sense 4) or "approximately/somewhat a separate premises" (Sense 1)?
    *   In English, "sort of" in this position is almost always the hedge/approximate meaning.
    *   Example from Sense 1: "she wore a sort of magenta dress" (not a category of magenta dress, but approximately magenta).
    *   Example from Sense 4: "what kinds of desserts are there?" (literal categories).

    *   Sense 1 fits the usage of "sort of" as a qualifier/hedge.

*   Target word: "separate"
    *   Context: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises..."
    *   Meaning: The ringers viewed the bell tower as a place distinct from the church building/community, almost as if it were its own independent entity or a detached space.

    *   Sense 1: `separate%5:00:02:segregated:00` - separated according to race, sex, class, or religion. (Not applicable here).
    *   Sense 2: `separate%3:00:00::` - independent; not united or joint. (Possible, but usually refers to issues, paths, or entities).
    *   Sense 3: `separate%5:00:00:detached:00` - standing apart; not attached to or supported by anything. Synonyms: freestanding. Example: "a freestanding bell tower; a house with a separate garage". (Very strong fit, as it refers to physical premises/buildings).
    *   Sense 4: `separate%5:00:02:unconnected:00` - have the connection undone; having become separate. (Less fitting than Sense 3).

    *   The context mentions "the tower" and "premises".
    *   The ringers treated the tower as if it were a "separate premises" from the church.
    *   Sense 3 specifically mentions "a freestanding bell tower" and "a house with a separate garage," which aligns perfectly with the physical nature of "premises" and "tower."

    *   Sense 2 is more abstract ("independent").
    *   Sense 3 is more physical ("detached", "freestanding").
    *   While the ringers' *attitude* was one of independence (Sense 2), they treated the *premises* (the physical tower) as if it were a separate building/entity (Sense 3). The example "a freestanding bell tower" in Sense 3 is a huge clue.

    *   Context: "...'They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises,' the Vicar Hummerstone <t>says</t>."
    *   The word "says" is used here to attribute a direct quote to a person (Vicar Hummerstone).

    *   Sense 1: speak, pronounce, or utter in a certain way (focus on pronunciation/articulation).
    *   Sense 2: state as one's opinion or judgement; declare (e.g., "I say let's forget this").
    *   Sense 3: have or contain a certain wording or form (e.g., "What does the law say?").

    *   The context is a direct quote: "They were a self-perpetuating club... the Vicar Hummerstone says."
    *   This is the most common use of "say" to report speech or state something in words.
    *   Comparing Sense 8 ("express in words; state, tell") and Sense 6 ("utter aloud"). Sense 8 is more general and fits the reporting of a statement better.
    *   Comparing Sense 8 and Sense 5 ("report or maintain"). Sense 5 often implies an allegation or a claim that might be disputed ("allege, aver"). Sense 8 is a neutral expression of words.
    *   Comparing Sense 8 and Sense 2 ("state as one's opinion or judgement"). Sense 2 is often used for suggestions or declarations ("I say let's go").
    *   Sense 8 ("express in words") is the standard sense for attributing a quote in a narrative or journalistic style.

    *   Sense 8: "express in words | synonyms=state, tell | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you"
    *   This fits perfectly. The Vicar is expressing his thoughts/observations in words.

    *   Surrounding context: The vicar sacked the entire previous band of ringers. Now, a different group of people (a "new band") is ringing the bells.

    *   Sense 1: Not of long duration; having just come into being or been made or acquired or discovered. (e.g., a new law, new cars)
    *   Sense 2: Other than the former one(s); different. (e.g., they now have a new leader; my new car is four years old...)

    *   Sense 11: Current stage of a living language (Modern).

    *   The text says the vicar "sacked the entire band" and now "An entirely new band rings today".
    *   This means the current band is a *replacement* for the previous band.
    *   Sense 1 (recently come into being) fits, but Sense 2 (other than the former one; different) specifically addresses the replacement aspect ("other than the former one(s)").
    *   Let's compare Sense 1 and Sense 2.
        *   Sense 1: "having just (or relatively recently) come into being"
        *   Sense 2: "other than the former one(s); different"
    *   In the context of replacing a group of people (the band), "new" means they are different from the ones who were there before.
    *   Example for Sense 2: "they now have a new leader". This is very similar to "they now have a new band".

    *   Sense 1 is more about the age or the fact that it was recently created.
    *   Sense 2 is specifically about replacement/difference from a predecessor.
    *   The context explicitly mentions the sacking of the previous band, making the "replacement" meaning (Sense 2) the most precise fit.

    *   Sense 1: "the present time or age" (e.g., "today we have computers"). This fits the contrast between "two years ago" and the current situation.
    *   Sense 2: "the day that includes the present moment" (e.g., "Today is beautiful"). This is too literal. The text isn't talking about a specific date.

Target lemma: congregation
Target surface form: congregation
Context:
When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below. This does not sit well with some clerics. With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band; the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest. "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says. An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the <t>congregation</t>. But there still are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells.

Candidate senses:

*   Target lemma: `congregation`
    *   Target surface form: `congregation`
    *   Context: The text discusses a conflict between church ringers and vicars. Specifically, it mentions that a new band of ringers now rings at Great Torrington, and some of them are "members of the congregation."
    *   Candidate Senses:
        1.  `congregation%1:14:00::`: a group of people who adhere to a common faith and habitually attend a given church (synonyms: fold, faithful).
        2.  `congregation%1:04:00::`: the act of congregating.
        3.  `congregation%1:14:01::`: an assemblage of people or animals or things collected together.

    *   The context is explicitly about a church (Church of England, vicars, services, worship).
    *   The phrase "members of the congregation" refers to the people who attend the church services.
    *   Sense 1 specifically describes a group of people who adhere to a common faith and habitually attend a given church.
    *   Sense 2 describes the *act* of gathering, which doesn't fit "members of the...".
    *   Sense 3 describes a general assemblage of people/animals/things, which is too broad given the specific religious context.

    *   Sense 1 is the most precise fit for "members of the congregation" in the context of a church.

*   Target lemma: "still"
    *   Target surface form: "still"
    *   Context: "But there <t>still</t> are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells."
    *   Candidate senses:
        1.  `still%4:02:01`: with reference to action or condition; without change, interruption, or cessation (e.g., "it's still warm outside").
        2.  `still%4:02:04`: despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession) (e.g., "however", "nevertheless").
        3.  `still%4:02:02`: without moving or making a sound (e.g., "sat still as a statue").
        4.  `still%4:02:00`: to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons (e.g., "still more interesting").

    *   The sentence is: "But there <t>still</t> are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells."
    *   The context describes a situation where a new band was formed, but the problem of not having enough ringers persists.
    *   "Still" here indicates that the condition (not enough ringers) continues to exist despite the effort to form a new band.

    *   Sense 1: "without change, interruption, or cessation" (continuing state). This fits perfectly.
    *   Sense 2: "despite anything to the contrary" (concessive). While "But" starts the sentence, "still" here is modifying the state of not having enough ringers, not acting as a conjunctive adverb like "nevertheless" in the sense of "despite that, [new fact]". Wait, let's re-evaluate. "But there still are not enough ringers..." could be interpreted as "But nevertheless there are not enough ringers...". However, the primary meaning is that the shortage *continues*.
    *   Sense 3: "without moving" (physical stillness). Not applicable.
    *   Sense 4: "to a greater degree" (comparative). Not applicable.

    *   Sense 1: "it's still warm outside" (the warmth continues).
    *   Sense 2: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it" (contrast).
    *   In the target sentence: "But there still are not enough ringers..."
    *   If we replace "still" with "nevertheless": "But there nevertheless are not enough ringers..." (Possible, but clunky).
    *   If we replace "still" with "even now" or "continue to be": "But there continue to be not enough ringers..." (Fits well).
    *   The core meaning is the persistence of the state (not enough ringers).

    *   Sense 1 is the standard adverb for "continuing to happen or exist".
    *   Sense 2 is the contrastive "nevertheless".
    *   The sentence "But there still are not enough ringers" emphasizes that the shortage persists despite the new band. This is the classic use of "still" as in "still warm outside".

    *   Sense 1: `still%4:02:01` (without change, interruption, or cessation).
    *   Sense 2: `still%4:02:04` (despite anything to the contrary).
    *   Looking at the sentence again: "An entirely new band rings today... But there still are not enough ringers..."
    *   The "But" provides the contrast. The "still" indicates the persistence of the shortage.
    *   Example for Sense 1: "it's still warm outside".
    *   Example for Sense 2: "although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it".
    *   The target usage is much closer to Sense 1.

    *   Context: "At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen <t>silent</t> following a dust-up over church attendance."
    *   Meaning: The bells are no longer being rung.

    *   Sense 1: `inarticulate` (unable to speak due to deafness) - Not applicable.
    *   Sense 2: `implicit` (implied/tacit) - Not applicable.
    *   Sense 3: `uncommunicative` (failing to speak when expected) - Not applicable (bells don't "communicate" in the human sense of failing to speak).
    *   Sense 4: `inaudible` (frequency outside human range) - Not applicable.
    *   Sense 5: `inaudible` (not made to sound, e.g., silent 'h') - This refers to letters or specific sounds not being pronounced.
    *   Sense 6: `quiet` (marked by absence of sound) - "a silent house", "soundless".

    *   The phrase "the bells have fallen silent" means they are no longer ringing.
    *   Sense 6 ("marked by absence of sound") fits best here. When bells "fall silent," the environment (or the bells themselves) is characterized by the absence of the sound they usually make.
    *   Let's double-check Sense 5: "not made to sound" (like a silent 'h'). This is usually for linguistic elements.
    *   Let's double-check Sense 6: "marked by absence of sound". If the bells are silent, there is an absence of sound.

    *   "The bells have fallen silent" is a common idiom meaning they are no longer ringing.
    *   Sense 6: "marked by absence of sound" (synonyms: soundless, still). This describes the state of the bells/church.

Target lemma: follow
Target surface form: following
Context:
With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band; the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest. "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says. An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation. But there still are not enough ringers to ring more than six of the eight bells. At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent <t>following</t> a dust-up over church attendance. The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would "reopen the wound. "
