    *   Sense 2: show unwillingness towards (decline). Example: "he declined to join the group on a hike". (Fits well: refuses to talk = declines to talk/shows unwillingness to talk)

    *   The phrase is "refuses to talk about it".
    *   This is an expression of unwillingness to perform an action.
    *   Sense 2 ("show unwillingness towards") with the synonym "decline" fits perfectly. "He declined to talk about it" is a direct synonym for "He refuses to talk about it".
    *   Sense 6 is about refusing an *offer* or *object* (e.g., "refused my offer"), whereas Sense 2 is about refusing to *do* something (e.g., "declined to join").

    *   Sense 2: "show unwillingness towards" / "decline" / "he declined to join the group on a hike".
    *   Context: "refuses to talk about it".
    *   This matches the pattern "refuse to [verb]".

    *   The phrase is "vicar of a nearby church".
    *   A vicar is a priest/clergyman in charge of a parish.
    *   "Nearby" suggests a physical location.
    *   The context discusses a "bell tower", "stairs", and "altar", all of which are physical parts of a building.
    *   The vicar is the head of a specific local parish/building.

    *   Sense 1 (service): "vicar of a nearby service" - Incorrect.
    *   Sense 2 (building): "vicar of a nearby building/place of worship" - Correct. A vicar is typically associated with a specific church building/parish.
    *   Sense 3 (congregation): "vicar of a nearby body of people" - Possible, but "nearby" usually modifies a physical location.
    *   Sense 4 (denomination): "vicar of a nearby group of Christians (denomination)" - Incorrect.

    *   The context mentions "nearby church", and the discussion revolves around the physical layout (stairs, bell tower, altar). This strongly points to the physical building or the local parish entity associated with that building.
    *   Comparing Sense 2 (building) and Sense 3 (congregation): "Nearby" almost always refers to physical proximity. While a vicar leads a congregation, they are the vicar *of* a church (the institution/building). In this specific sentence, the focus is on the physical structure ("stairs from the bell tower").

    *   Sense 2: "a place for public (especially Christian) worship" (church building).
    *   This fits perfectly with "vicar of a nearby church".

*   Target lemma: `fault`
    *   Context: "...C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the <t>fault</t> is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar. 'So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here come the ringers from above...'"
    *   Meaning: The speaker is identifying the cause or the source of a problem (the noise/disruption caused by the ringers exiting during prayer). He believes the "fault" (the reason for the bad situation) lies in the physical layout/location of the stairs.

    *   Sense 1: `fault%1:04:00` - wrong action (mistake, error). (Not a mistake in action, but a structural/situational issue).
    *   Sense 2: `fault%1:17:00` - geology (crack in earth's crust). (Irrelevant).
    *   Sense 3: `fault%1:11:00` - electronics (equipment failure). (Irrelevant).
    *   Sense 4: `fault%1:07:01` - responsibility for a bad situation or event. (Example: "it was John's fault"). This fits well. The "fault" (responsibility/cause) for the disruption is the location of the stairs.
    *   Sense 5: `fault%1:07:00` - quality of being inadequate/falling short of perfection (demerit). (Less likely than responsibility/cause).
    *   Sense 6: `fault%1:26:00` - imperfection in an object or machine (defect, flaw). (The stairs aren't necessarily "defective" in a manufacturing sense, but their *location* is the problem).
    *   Sense 7: `fault%1:04:01` - sports (illegal serve). (Irrelevant).

    *   The sentence "feels the fault is in the stairs" means the stairs are the *cause* or *responsible* for the problem (the noise during prayer).
    *   Comparing Sense 4 (responsibility for a bad situation) and Sense 6 (imperfection/defect).
    *   If the stairs were broken, it would be Sense 6. But the context says they are "located next to the altar," implying the *location* is the issue, not a physical defect in the stairs themselves.
    *   Therefore, "the fault is in the stairs" means the stairs are responsible for the bad situation.

    *   Sense 4: "responsibility for a bad situation or event".
    *   Context: "the fault is in the stairs... making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer".
    *   This matches perfectly.

    *   Sense 1: mistake (No)
    *   Sense 2: geology (No)
    *   Sense 3: electronics (No)
    *   Sense 4: responsibility (Yes)
    *   Sense 5: demerit (No)
    *   Sense 6: defect (No - the stairs aren't broken, they are just in the wrong place)
    *   Sense 7: sports (No)

    *   The word "So" is used here to introduce a sequence of events or a descriptive scene that follows from the previous statement about the stairs.

    *   Sense 1: "in truth (often tends to intensify)" (indeed) - Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 2: "in the way indicated" (thus, thusly) - Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 3: "to an extent or degree as expressed" (usually followed by 'that') - Doesn't fit.
    *   Sense 4: "from that fact or reason or as a result" (therefore, hence) - Possible, but "So" here feels more like a narrative transition.

    *   Sense 10: "in the same way; also" - Doesn't fit.

    *   The speaker is describing a scenario. "The fault is in the stairs... [And then/Consequently] crunch, crunch, crunch..."
    *   Sense 4 (therefore/hence) and Sense 9 (then/subsequently) are the closest.
    *   Looking at Sense 9: "subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)". This is very common in spoken narrative to introduce the next part of a story or a resulting scene.
    *   Looking at Sense 4: "from that fact or reason or as a result". While the noise is a result of the stairs' location, "So" here functions more as a narrative transition to describe the scene.
    *   Wait, let's re-read: "the fault is in the stairs... 'So crunch, crunch, crunch...'"
    *   In this context, "So" is used to introduce the illustration of the problem. It's like saying "And so it goes..." or "And then you have...".
    *   Let's compare Sense 4 and Sense 9 again.
    *   Sense 4: "therefore X must be true".
    *   Sense 9: "then he left; go left first, then right".
    *   Actually, looking at the usage "So [sound effects] -- here come the ringers", it's introducing the consequence/result of the stairs being there.
    *   However, in spoken English, "So" often starts a sentence to introduce a summary or a resulting situation.
    *   Let's look at Sense 9 again: "subsequently or soon afterward".
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "from that fact or reason or as a result".
    *   If the speaker means "Because the stairs are there, [the result is] crunch, crunch...", Sense 4 is strong.
    *   If the speaker means "And then [this happens]...", Sense 9 is strong.
    *   In the context of "the fault is in the stairs... 'So crunch, crunch...'", the "So" is introducing the *demonstration* of the fault.
    *   Let's check if there's a better fit.
    *   Sense 4: "therefore, hence, thus".
    *   Sense 9: "then, and so, and then".
    *   "So" as a discourse marker often falls into the "therefore" or "then" category.
    *   In this specific sentence, "So" is used to transition from the premise (stairs are next to the altar) to the illustration (the noise and the ringers). This is a logical consequence.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 9: "subsequently or soon afterward". This is more about temporal sequence.
    *   Let's re-evaluate Sense 4: "from that fact or reason or as a result". This is more about logical consequence.
    *   The noise is a result of the stairs being there. "The fault is in the stairs... [Therefore/As a result] crunch, crunch..."
    *   Wait, looking at the examples for Sense 9: "then he left; go left first, then right".
    *   Looking at the examples for Sense 4: "therefore X must be true; the eggs were fresh and hence satisfactory".
    *   Actually, in spoken narrative, "So" often functions as a way to introduce a story or a sequence of events.
    *   Let's consider if it's Sense 9. "The fault is in the stairs... [And then] crunch, crunch..."
    *   Let's consider if it's Sense 4. "The fault is in the stairs... [Therefore] crunch, crunch..."
    *   Usually, when someone says "So [description of event]", they are introducing the result or the sequence.
    *   Let's look at the phrase "So crunch, crunch, crunch...". This is a vivid description.
    *   If I say "The door is broken. So, wind blows in," I mean "As a result, wind blows in." (Sense 4).
    *   If I say "I went to the store. So, I bought some milk," I mean "Then, I bought some milk." (Sense 9).
    *   In the text: "the fault is in the stairs... 'So crunch, crunch...'" The noise is the *result* of the stairs' location.
    *   However, "So" at the beginning of a sentence in a quote often acts as a narrative transition.
    *   Let's look at Sense 9 again: "subsequently or soon afterward (often used as sentence connectors)".
    *   Let's look at Sense 4 again: "from that fact or reason or as a result".
    *   The "So" here is introducing the *scene* that results from the stairs' location.
    *   Comparing "Therefore" (4) and "Then" (9).
    *   "The fault is in the stairs... Therefore, crunch, crunch..." (A bit formal)
    *   "The fault is in the stairs... Then, crunch, crunch..." (More natural for a story)
    *   But "So" is the word used. "So" often bridges the gap between a reason and a result.
    *   Let's check other sources for "so" as a discourse marker. Often it's "therefore".
    *   Let's re-read the context: "the fault is in the stairs... 'So crunch, crunch, crunch...'"
    *   The speaker is explaining *why* it's a fault. The "So" introduces the evidence/result of that fault.
    *   This points more towards Sense 4 (as a result).

    *   Sense 4: "from that fact or reason or as a result"
    *   Sense 9: "subsequently or soon afterward"
    *   The noise isn't just happening *after* the stairs are there; it's happening *because* the stairs are there.
    *   Therefore, Sense 4 is a better fit for the logical connection.

    *   Wait, let me think about "So" as a narrative opener. "So, I was walking down the street..." That's not in the options.
    *   "So crunch, crunch, crunch" is introducing the sequence of events that happens *because* of the stairs.
    *   Let's look at Sense 9 again. "then he left".
    *   If the speaker is saying "The stairs are there. [And then] crunch, crunch...", it's Sense 9.
    *   If the speaker is saying "The stairs are there. [And as a result] crunch, crunch...", it's Sense 4.
    *   In the context of explaining a "fault", the result is the key. The fault *is* that the ringers make noise.
    *   So, "The fault is in the stairs... [As a result] crunch, crunch..."
    *   This makes Sense 4 the most likely.

    *   Sense 4: "from that fact or reason or as a result"
    *   Sense 9: "subsequently or soon afterward"
    *   Looking at the flow: "the fault is in the stairs... 'So crunch, crunch, crunch...'"
    *   The "So" is introducing the *consequence* of the stairs' location.
    *   Sense 4 synonyms: therefore, hence, thus.
    *   Sense 9 synonyms: then, and so, and then.
    *   "The fault is in the stairs... Therefore, crunch, crunch..."
    *   "The fault is in the stairs... And then, crunch, crunch..."
    *   Actually, "And then" (Sense 9) feels slightly more natural for the sound effects, but "Therefore" (Sense 4) fits the logical structure of explaining a "fault".
    *   Let's re-read: "the fault is in the stairs... 'So crunch, crunch, crunch...'"
    *   The speaker is illustrating the fault. The "So" introduces the illustration of the result.
    *   Let's try Sense 4.

    *   "Here come the [people]" is a common idiomatic expression used to announce the arrival of someone or something into the speaker's field of vision or proximity.
    *   It indicates movement *toward* the speaker's location or into the immediate area.

    *   Sense 1: "in or at this place" (static location).
    *   Sense 2: "in this circumstance" (abstract).
    *   Sense 3: "to this place (especially toward the speaker)" (directional movement).
    *   Sense 4: "at this time; now" (temporal).

    *   "Here come the ringers" implies they are arriving or appearing in the space the speaker is referring to/occupying.
    *   Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3: Sense 1 is "in or at this place" (static), while Sense 3 is "to this place" (directional). "Come" is a verb of motion.
    *   Example for Sense 3: "come here, please".
    *   In "here come the ringers", "here" functions as an adverb of place indicating arrival/movement toward the observer.

    *   Sense 3 specifically mentions "to this place" and "toward the speaker", which fits the motion implied by "come".

    *   Wait, is it "here" as in "now" (Sense 4)? "Here come the ringers" can sometimes be interpreted as "Now come the ringers", but usually, it's spatial.
    *   Is it Sense 1? "In or at this place".
    *   Let's look at the phrase "Here comes X". In most linguistic analyses, "here" in "Here comes the bus" indicates the arrival of the object into the speaker's vicinity.
    *   Sense 3: "to this place (especially toward the speaker)". This matches the directional nature of "come".

    *   Sense 1: in or at this place.
    *   Sense 3: to this place.
    *   "Here come the ringers" -> They are coming *to* this place.

    *   Sense 3 is the best fit for "here come...".

Context:
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 following a dust-up over church attendance. The vicar, W.D. Jones, refuses to talk about it, saying it would "reopen the wound. "But C.J.B. Marshall, vicar of a nearby church, feels the fault is in the stairs from the bell tower that are located next to the altar. "So crunch, crunch, crunch, bang, bang, bang -- here <t>come</t> the ringers from above, making a very obvious exit while the congregation is at prayer, "he says. Vicar Marshall admits to mixed feelings about this issue, since he is both a vicar and an active bell-ringer himself.

    In the sentence "here come the ringers from above", the speaker is describing the ringers approaching or appearing in the space where the speaker/congregation is. "Here comes [someone]" is a classic expression of movement toward the speaker or into the immediate vicinity.

    Comparing Sense 7 and Sense 9:
    Sense 7 focuses on the *destination* (reaching it).
    Sense 9 focuses on the *movement toward* the observer/speaker.

    "Here come the ringers" fits Sense 9 ("move toward... approach something or somebody") better than Sense 7 ("reach a destination").

    Wait, let's look at Sense 4: "come forth; issue forth". "The ringers come from above". But "here come the ringers" is the primary structure.

    Let's re-evaluate Sense 9: "move toward, travel toward something or somebody or approach something or somebody".
    Example: "He came singing down the road".
    Context: "here come the ringers from above".

    This fits the pattern of movement toward the observer.

    Sense 7: "reach a destination; arrive by movement or progress".
    Example: "She arrived home at 7 o'clock".

    "Here come the ringers" is more about the approach/appearance than the final arrival at a specific destination.

    Sense 9 is the best fit for "here come...".

    *   39: make by combining materials (No)
    *   40: change from one form into another (No)
    *   41: favor the development of (No)

    *   47: make by shaping (No)
    *   48: create by artistic means (No)
    *   49: amount to (No)

    *   Sense 4: "perform or carry out" (examples: "make a decision", "make a move"). "Making an exit" is very similar to "making a move".
    *   Sense 20: "carry out or commit" (examples: "make a mistake"). This usually implies something negative or a specific action like a mistake.
    *   Sense 28: "proceed along a path" (examples: "make one's way into the forest"). This is about the *process* of moving, whereas "making an exit" is the *act* of leaving.
    *   Sense 38: "engage in" (examples: "make an effort").

    "Make an exit" is a light-verb construction. "Make a move" (Sense 4) is a very close parallel to "make an exit". Both describe performing a specific action.

    Let's re-examine Sense 4: "perform or carry out".
    Example: "make a move".
    "Making an exit" fits this pattern perfectly.

    Wait, let me check if there's a better one.
    Sense 28: "proceed along a path" (synonyms: work). "Make one's way into the forest".
    "Making an exit" isn't exactly proceeding along a path; it's the act of leaving.

    Sense 4 seems the most appropriate for "making an exit" (performing the act of exiting).

    *   Sense 4: perform or carry out (make a decision, make a move)
    *   Sense 20: carry out or commit (make a mistake)
    *   Sense 38: engage in (make an effort)

    "Make an exit" is more like "make a move" (Sense 4) than "make a mistake" (Sense 20) or "make an effort" (Sense 38).

    Let's double-check if "make an exit" could be Sense 28 ("proceed along a path").
    "Make one's way" is the key phrase for Sense 28. "Make an exit" is slightly different.

    Let's look at Sense 4 again. "Perform or carry out". "Make a move" is listed as an example. "Make an exit" is essentially "make a move to leave".

    Is there any other sense?
    Sense 22: "give rise to; cause to happen or occur" (cause a commotion). No.
    Sense 10: "make or cause to be or to become" (create a furor). No.

    Comparing Sense 4 and Sense 28 again:
    Sense 4: perform or carry out (make a move)
    Sense 28: proceed along a path (make one's way)

    "Making an exit" is the act of leaving. "Make a move" (Sense 4) is a very strong parallel.

    Wait, let me look at Sense 4 again. "perform or carry out".
    "Make an exit" = perform an exit.

    Let's check if "make an exit" is more like "make a move" (Sense 4) or "make one's way" (Sense 28).
    "Make one's way" is about the movement itself.
    "Make an exit" is about the act of leaving.

    Actually, "make a move" can mean "to leave" (e.g., "It's getting late, let's make a move"). This makes Sense 4 even more likely.

    Sense 4: perform or carry out. Examples: make a decision; make a move.
    This fits "making an exit" perfectly.
