3.  **Analyze the Usage of "bells":**
    *   "...the East Anglian group that keeps the Aslacton bells pealing." (Refers to church bells that are rung.)
    *   "...nearly a third of England's church bells are no longer rung on Sundays because there is no one to ring them." (Refers to church bells.)
    *   "The less complicated version of playing tunes on bells..." (Refers to the sound/instrument of bells.)

4.  **Evaluate the Senses against the Contextual Usage:**

    *   **1. definition=a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck:** (Matches the physical object/instrument.)
    *   **2. definition=a push button at an outer door that gives a ringing or buzzing signal when pushed | synonyms=doorbell, buzzer:** (Does not fit the context of church bells or carillons.)
    *   **3. definition=the sound of a bell being struck | synonyms=toll | examples=saved by the bell; she heard the distant toll of church bells:** (Matches the sound/ringing aspect, especially when discussing "playing tunes" or "church bells.")
    *   **4. definition=(nautical) each of the eight half-hour units of nautical time signaled by strokes of a ship's bell; eight bells signals 4:00, 8:00, or 12:00 o'clock, either a.m. or p.m. | synonyms=ship's bell:** (Nautical context, not relevant here.)

    *   **10. definition=the flared opening of a tubular device:** (Irrelevant.)

5.  **Determine the Best Fit:** The context heavily discusses church bells, ringing them, and playing tunes on them. While Sense 1 (device) and Sense 9 (instrument) are related, Sense 3 (the sound of a bell being struck) is the most direct fit for the actions described ("pealing," "rung," "playing tunes").

6.  **Final Check:** The text talks about bells being "pealing" and "rung," and playing "tunes on bells." Sense 3 defines the sound of a bell being struck. This is the most appropriate sense.

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the 2nd smallest continent (actually a vast peninsula of Eurasia); the British use `Europe' to refer to all of the continent except the British Isles.
        *   *Relevance:* This refers to the geographical continent. The context uses "continental Europe." This is a strong candidate.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=an international organization of European countries formed after World War II to reduce trade barriers and increase cooperation among its members | synonyms=European Union, EU, European Community, EC, European Economic Community, EEC | examples=he tried to take Britain into the Europen Union.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the nations of the European continent collectively | examples=the Marshall Plan helped Europe recover from World War II.
        *   *Relevance:* This refers to the nations/people of the continent. While related to Sense 1, Sense 1 specifically addresses the geographical entity (the continent itself), which fits the usage of "continental Europe" better than the collective nations (Sense 3).

5.  **Conclusion:** The context discusses "continental Europe" and the geographical/physical aspect of the continent (carillons, comparison to foreigners). Sense 1 defines Europe as the continent.

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "The less complicated version of playing tunes on bells, as do the carillons of continental Europe, is <t>considered</t> by the English to be childish, fit only for foreigners."

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "considered" in Context:**
    The structure is: [The less complicated version] is considered [to be childish...].
    Here, "considered" means "judged," "viewed," or "regarded" as having a certain quality (childish, unfit). It implies a judgment or opinion.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=deem to be | synonyms=see, reckon, view, regard | examples=She views this quite differently from me; I consider her to be shallow. (Focuses on judgment/opinion.)

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=take into consideration for exemplifying purposes | synonyms=take, deal, look at | examples=Take the case of China; Consider the following case. (Focuses on using something as an example.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=show consideration for; take into account | synonyms=count, weigh | examples=You must consider her age; The judge considered the offender's youth and was lenient. (Focuses on weighing factors/taking into account.)

    *   **Sense 6:** definition=judge or regard; look upon; judge | synonyms=think, believe, conceive | examples=I think he is very smart; I believe her to be very smart. (Focuses on judging or forming an opinion.)
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=look at attentively | synonyms=regard. (Focuses on looking.)
    *   **Sense 8:** definition=look at carefully; study mentally | synonyms=view, look at. (Focuses on mental study/viewing.)
    *   **Sense 9:** definition=regard or treat with consideration, respect, and esteem. (Focuses on treating with respect.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The context uses "considered" to express an opinion or judgment about the version of playing bells (it is judged/viewed as childish).

    *   Sense 1 (deem to be; view, regard) fits well.
    *   Sense 6 (judge or regard; think, believe) also fits well.

    Let's compare 1 and 6.
    Context: The version is *considered* to be childish. This is a judgment/regard.
    Sense 1: definition=deem to be | synonyms=see, reckon, view, regard.
    Sense 6: definition=judge or regard; look upon; judge | synonyms=think, believe, conceive.

    Both are strong candidates. However, Sense 1 emphasizes the act of deeming or viewing something as a certain quality. Sense 6 emphasizes the act of judging or regard. In the phrase "is considered by the English to be childish," the English are judging/viewing the version.

    Let's re-read the examples for 1 and 6.
    Sense 1 example: "I consider her to be shallow." (Judgment/view.)
    Sense 6 example: "I think he is very smart; I believe her to be very smart." (Judgment/belief.)

    Sense 6 seems slightly more direct for expressing a judgment ("judge or regard").

    *Self-Correction/Refinement:* In many usage contexts, "consider" means to view or regard something in a specific light. Sense 1 (deem to be; view, regard) captures this perfectly. Sense 6 (judge or regard) is also very close. Since the context is about judging the quality of the version, Sense 6 is highly appropriate.

    Let's check the provided options again.
    Context: "...is considered by the English to be childish..."

    If we use Sense 6: "is judged/regarded by the English to be childish." (Fits.)
    If we use Sense 1: "is deemed/viewed by the English to be childish." (Fits.)

    Both 1 and 6 are plausible. However, Sense 6 explicitly includes "judge or regard," which is the core action happening here (the English are judging the version).

    Let's select 6.

3.  **Locate the Target Word and its Context:** The word is "foreigners." The relevant sentence is: "The less complicated version of playing tunes on bells, as do the carillons of continental Europe, is considered by the English to be childish, fit only for foreigners."

4.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:** The context compares the English practice (change-ringing) to the simpler version used in continental Europe. The English view the complex version as "childish, fit only for foreigners." This usage implies someone who is *not* English, or someone who is outside the specific group/culture being discussed (the English/change-ringers).

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a person who comes from a foreign country; someone who does not owe allegiance to your country | synonyms=alien, noncitizen, outlander. (Focuses on nationality/origin.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=someone who is excluded from or is not a member of a group | synonyms=outsider. (Focuses on exclusion/non-membership.)

6.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    *   The context uses "foreigners" to describe people who are *not* English (or not part of the specific cultural group).
    *   Sense 1 (origin/nationality) fits this meaning well (people from a foreign country).
    *   Sense 2 (exclusion/outsider) also fits, as they are excluded from the specific cultural norm.

7.  **Re-evaluate the Nuance (Standard Test Interpretation):** When "foreigner" is used in a cultural comparison (like comparing English practice to continental European practice), it often leans toward the sense of being an outsider or non-member of the local group, but the core definition is still rooted in origin.

    *   *Self-Correction/Refinement:* Let's look closely at the synonyms. Sense 1 includes "outlander." Sense 2 includes "outsider." Both are plausible. However, the primary definition of "foreigner" is usually tied to nationality/origin (Sense 1).

    *   *Checking the specific phrase:* "...fit only for foreigners." This suggests they are not suited for the complex activity because they are not part of the native group. This strongly aligns with the idea of being an outsider (Sense 2).

    *   *Comparing the options again:*
        *   If the context were: "They are people from Japan," -> Sense 1.
        *   If the context were: "They are not members of the club," -> Sense 2.
        *   The context is: "They are not suited for this activity because they are not English." This emphasizes the *difference* and *exclusion* from the group's norms.

8.  **Conclusion:** While Sense 1 is technically correct (they are people from a foreign country), Sense 2 (someone excluded from or not a member of a group/outsider) captures the *function* of the word in this specific comparative context better.

9.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2.

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "Change-ringing, a mind-boggling exercise the English invented 380 <t>years</t> ago, requires physical dexterity..."

3.  **Analyze the Target Word Usage:** The phrase is "380 years ago." This refers to a duration of time elapsed between the invention and the present.

4.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | synonyms=twelvemonth, yr | examples=she is 4 years old; in the year 1920
        *   *Relevance:* This defines a calendar year (365/366 days). The context uses "years ago" (duration), not "a year" (a period of 365 days).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year
        *   *Relevance:* This refers to a segment of a year (e.g., a school year). The context is about a historical duration (380 years).

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the period of time that it takes for a planet (as, e.g., Earth or Mars) to make a complete revolution around the sun | examples=a Martian year takes 687 of our days
        *   *Relevance:* This refers to a planetary orbital period. The context is about human history/invention, not planetary orbits.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a body of students who graduate together | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High
        *   *Relevance:* This refers to a student cohort. The context is about historical duration.

5.  **Re-evaluate the Context vs. Senses (Crucial Step):**
    The context uses "380 years ago." This usage refers to a span of time (duration).

    *   Sense 1 (Calendar year): Used for "in the year 1920."
    *   Sense 3 (Planetary year): Used for "a Martian year."

    *Wait, none of the provided senses perfectly match the common usage of "years ago" (duration). Let me re-read the provided senses and the context to see if there is an intended match.*

    Context: "...invented 380 years ago..." (Duration)

    Let's look closely at Sense 1 again: "definition=a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days | synonyms=twelvemonth, yr | examples=she is 4 years old; in the year 1920"
    This sense defines the unit of time (the year). While the usage "380 years ago" is a duration, the word "years" itself is fundamentally based on the concept of the calendar year (Sense 1).

    Let's look closely at Sense 2: "definition=a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity | examples=a school year"
    This is about a segment of a year.

    If the question is asking which *sense* is being referenced, and the usage is "X years ago," it is measuring duration. However, in multiple-choice questions based on defined senses, we must choose the best fit.

    The most fundamental definition of "year" is the period of 365/366 days (Sense 1). Even when used for duration ("380 years ago"), the unit being measured is the calendar year.

    *Self-Correction/Final Check:* The context is about historical time elapsed. The unit used is the standard calendar year. Therefore, Sense 1 is the intended answer, despite the usage being a duration.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage "380 years ago" refers to the duration measured in calendar years. This aligns with Sense 1.

Context: Mr. Hammond worries that old age and the flightiness of youth will diminish the ranks of the East Anglian group that keeps the Aslacton bells pealing. History, after all, is not on his side. According to a nationwide survey taken a year ago, nearly a third of England's church bells are no longer rung on Sundays because there is no one to ring them. It is easy to see why the ancient art is on the ropes.

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    Context: "Change-ringing, a mind-boggling exercise the English invented 380 years ago, <t>requires</t> physical dexterity -- some bells weigh more than a ton -- combined with intense mental concentration."

3.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:** The sentence states that change-ringing *needs* or *demands* physical dexterity and mental concentration. It describes the necessary components for performing the exercise.

4.  **Examine the Senses Provided:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=require as useful, just, or proper | synonyms=necessitate, ask, postulate, need, take, involve | examples=It takes nerve to do what she did; success usually requires hard work
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=consider obligatory; request and expect | synonyms=ask, expect | examples=We require our secretary to be on time; Aren't we asking too much of these children?
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=make someone do something | synonyms=command | (e.g., The teacher required the students to read.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=have need of | synonyms=want, need | examples=This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**

    *   The context is describing what the exercise *demands* or *needs* (physical dexterity, concentration).
    *   Sense 1 (necessitate, need, involve) fits this meaning of demanding or involving something necessary.
    *   Sense 2 (obligatory, request, expect) focuses more on duty or expectation from a person.
    *   Sense 3 (make someone do something/command) focuses on the action of forcing someone else to act.
    *   Sense 4 (have need of/want/need) is very close, but Sense 1's synonyms (necessitate, involve) often capture the sense of demanding specific conditions or resources, which fits the description of the complex demands of change-ringing better than just a simple "want."

6.  **Final Comparison:**
    *   Context: Change-ringing *requires* [dexterity and concentration].
    *   Sense 1: require as useful, just, or proper (necessitate, need, involve). -> Strong fit.
    *   Sense 4: have need of (want, need). -> Also a fit, but Sense 1 is often used when describing the inherent demands of an activity.

    Let's re-read the definition of Sense 1: "require as useful, just, or proper." This implies that these things are necessary or essential for the activity to succeed. This perfectly matches the context: the exercise *needs* these skills.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most appropriate fit.

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

Context: Mr. Hammond worries that old age and the flightiness of youth will diminish the ranks of the East Anglian group that keeps the Aslacton bells pealing. History, after all, is not on his side. According to a nationwide survey taken a year ago, nearly a third of England's church bells are no longer rung on Sundays because there is no one to ring them. It is easy to see why the ancient art is on the ropes. The less complicated version of playing tunes on bells, as do the carillons of continental Europe, is considered by the English to be childish, fit only for foreigners. Change-ringing, a mind-boggling exercise the English invented 380 years ago, requires <t>physical</t> dexterity -- some bells weigh more than a ton -- combined with intense mental concentration. Proper English bells are started off in "rounds, "from the highest-pitched bell to the lowest -- a simple descending scale using, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells.

Senses:
1. definition=involving the body as distinguished from the mind or spirit | examples=physical exercise; physical suffering
2. definition=relating to the sciences dealing with matter and energy; especially physics | examples=physical sciences; physical laws
3. definition=having substance or material existence; perceptible to the senses | examples=a physical manifestation; surrounded by tangible objects
4. definition=according with material things or natural laws (other than those peculiar to living matter) | examples=a reflex response to physical stimuli
5. definition=characterized by energetic bodily activity | examples=a very physical dance performance
6. definition=impelled by physical force especially against resistance | synonyms=forcible, strong-arm | examples=forcible entry; a real cop would get physical
7. definition=concerned with material things | examples=physical properties; the physical characteristics of the earth

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "physical" (marked with <t>physical</t>) is used in the provided context and return only the number.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "Change-ringing, a mind-boggling exercise the English invented 380 years ago, requires <t>physical</t> dexterity -- some bells weigh more than a ton -- combined with intense mental concentration. Proper English bells are started off in "rounds, "from the highest-pitched bell to the lowest -- a simple descending scale using, in larger churches, as many as 12 bells."

3.  **Examine the Usage of "physical":**
    The phrase is "<t>physical</t> dexterity".
    The context links "dexterity" (skill/ability) with the body/action required for change-ringing, and immediately follows it with a description of the physical challenge ("some bells weigh more than a ton").

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=involving the body as distinguished from the mind or spirit | examples=physical exercise; physical suffering. (Focuses on the body/mind distinction.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=relating to the sciences dealing with matter and energy; especially physics | examples=physical sciences; physical laws. (Focuses on science/matter/energy.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=having substance or material existence; perceptible to the senses | examples=a physical manifestation; surrounded by tangible objects. (Focuses on material existence/substance.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=according with material things or natural laws (other than those peculiar to living matter) | examples=a reflex response to physical stimuli. (Focuses on material things/natural laws.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=characterized by energetic bodily activity | examples=a very physical dance performance. (Focuses on energetic bodily activity.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=impelled by physical force especially against resistance | synonyms=forcible, strong-arm | examples=forcible entry; a real cop would get physical. (Focuses on force/resistance.)
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=concerned with material things | examples=physical properties; the physical characteristics of the earth. (Focuses on material things.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**

    *   The context uses "physical dexterity" and mentions the weight of bells ("weigh more than a ton").
    *   Sense 1 (body vs. mind): Fits the idea of bodily skill/exercise.
    *   Sense 5 (energetic bodily activity): Fits the idea of physical action/dexterity.
    *   Sense 7 (concerned with material things): Fits the idea of the physical nature of the bells and the required physical skill.

6.  **Refine the Choice:**
    The core meaning of "physical dexterity" here refers to the ability of the body to perform the task, which is an *activity* or *exercise* involving the body.

    *   Sense 1: "involving the body as distinguished from the mind or spirit." (Strong candidate)
    *   Sense 5: "characterized by energetic bodily activity." (Strong candidate)
    *   Sense 7: "concerned with material things." (Too broad; doesn't capture the *action* or *skill*.)

    Since the context specifically mentions "dexterity" (skill/ability) and the requirement for the body to perform the action, Sense 1 (involving the body as distinguished from the mind or spirit) or Sense 5 (characterized by energetic bodily activity) are the most precise.

    Let's re-read the examples for Sense 1: "physical exercise; physical suffering."
    Let's re-read the examples for Sense 5: "a very physical dance performance."

    The context describes a demanding *exercise* (change-ringing) requiring *dexterity*. This aligns well with the concept of bodily activity and skill.

    Let's check the provided examples for Sense 1 again: "physical exercise." This fits the idea of dexterity required for a task.

    Let's check the provided examples for Sense 5 again: "a very physical dance performance." This is a specific type of activity.

    Both 1 and 5 are plausible. However, the emphasis on the *body* performing a complex task (dexterity) leans heavily toward the distinction between the body and the mind/spirit (Sense 1).

    *Self-Correction/Final Check:* The phrase "physical dexterity" emphasizes the bodily skill required. Sense 1 defines "physical" as "involving the body as distinguished from the mind or spirit." This is the most direct fit for describing a bodily skill or requirement.
