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

Context: Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers. One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring. Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches. But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin. "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10, "he adds. One <t>bright</t> sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women. They are not accepted everywhere, however.

Senses:
1. definition=emitting or reflecting light readily or in large amounts | examples=the sun was bright and hot; a bright sunlit room
2. definition=having striking color | synonyms=brilliant, vivid | examples=bright dress; brilliant tapestries
3. definition=characterized by quickness and ease in learning | synonyms=smart | examples=some children are brighter in one subject than another; smart children talk earlier than the average
4. definition=having lots of light either natural or artificial | examples=the room was bright and airy; a stage bright with spotlights
5. definition=made smooth and bright by or as if by rubbing; reflecting a sheen or glow | synonyms=burnished, lustrous, shining, shiny | examples=bright silver candlesticks; a burnished brass knocker
6. definition=splendid | examples=the bright stars of stage and screen; a bright moment in history
7. definition=not made dim or less bright | synonyms=undimmed | examples=undimmed headlights; surprisingly the curtain started to rise while the houselights were still undimmed
8. definition=clear and sharp and ringing | synonyms=brilliant | examples=the bright sound of the trumpet section; the brilliant sound of the trumpets
9. definition=characterized by happiness or gladness | examples=bright faces; all the world seems bright and gay
10. definition=full or promise | synonyms=hopeful, promising | examples=had a bright future in publishing; the scandal threatened an abrupt end to a promising political career

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

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The word is "<t>bright</t>".
    The sentence containing it is: "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women."

3.  **Analyze the Contextual Meaning:**
    The phrase "One bright sign" means "One clear indication" or "One positive sign." It is used metaphorically to introduce a significant piece of information.

4.  **Examine the Senses of "bright":**

    *   1. definition=emitting or reflecting light readily or in large amounts | examples=the sun was bright and hot; a bright sunlit room (Physical light)
    *   2. definition=having striking color | synonyms=brilliant, vivid | examples=bright dress; brilliant tapestries (Color)
    *   3. definition=characterized by quickness and ease in learning | synonyms=smart | examples=some children are brighter in one subject than another; smart children talk earlier than the average (Intelligence/Quickness)
    *   4. definition=having lots of light either natural or artificial | examples=the room was bright and airy; a stage bright with spotlights (Illumination/Light quantity)
    *   5. definition=made smooth and bright by or as if by rubbing; reflecting a sheen or glow | synonyms=burnished, lustrous, shining, shiny (Surface quality/Sheen)
    *   6. definition=splendid | examples=the bright stars of stage and screen; a bright moment in history (Splendid/Magnificent)
    *   7. definition=not made dim or less bright | synonyms=undimmed | examples=undimmed headlights; surprisingly the curtain started to rise while the houselights were still undimmed (Intensity/Undimmed)
    *   8. definition=clear and sharp and ringing | synonyms=brilliant | examples=the bright sound of the trumpet section; the brilliant sound of the trumpets (Sound/Clarity)
    *   9. definition=characterized by happiness or gladness | examples=bright faces; all the world seems bright and gay (Emotion/Cheerfulness)
    *   10. definition=full or promise | synonyms=hopeful, promising | examples=had a bright future in publishing; the scandal threatened an abrupt end to a promising political career (Potential/Hope)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The context uses "One bright sign." This implies clarity, significance, or a positive indication.

    *   Sense 1 (Light emission) - No.
    *   Sense 4 (Lots of light) - No.
    *   Sense 6 (Splendid) - Possible, but doesn't fit "sign."
    *   Sense 9 (Happiness/Gladness) - Possible, but "sign" usually implies information.
    *   Sense 10 (Full or promise) - Possible, but "sign" usually implies immediate indication.

    Let's re-evaluate the common usage of "bright sign." It means a clear, obvious indication. None of the provided definitions perfectly capture "indication."

    However, let's look at the options again, focusing on the *feeling* or *quality* implied by the context. The context is discussing a positive development (more women in the field).

    If we consider "bright" as meaning "promising" or "hopeful" (Sense 10), it fits the idea of a positive sign.
    If we consider "bright" as meaning "splendid" (Sense 6), it fits the idea of a positive development.

    Let's check the synonyms provided for Sense 6: "splendid." "One splendid sign..." (Grammatically awkward).

    Let's check Sense 10: "had a bright future." This sense relates to potential and promise. "One bright sign" could mean "One promising sign."

    Let's check Sense 9: "bright faces; all the world seems bright and gay." This relates to positive emotion.

    In journalistic or analytical writing, "bright sign" often means a positive indicator or a promising development. Sense 10 (full or promise/hopeful) is the closest fit for a positive indicator.

6.  **Final Check:** The context is about a positive trend (women entering the field). Sense 10 defines "bright" as "full or promise/hopeful." This aligns best with the meaning of a "positive sign."

1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of the word "sign" (marked with `<t>sign</t>`) is used in the provided context.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "One bright <t>sign</t> is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women. They are not accepted everywhere, however."

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "sign" in Context:**
    The phrase "One bright sign is that..." introduces an indication, evidence, or clue about a trend (the growing number of women in the field). It is not a physical object (like a signboard) or a gesture (like sign language). It functions as an indication or evidence.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a perceptible indication of something not immediately apparent (as a visible clue that something has happened) | synonyms=mark | examples=he showed signs of strain; they welcomed the signs of spring. (Matches the idea of an indication/clue.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a public display of a message | examples=he posted signs in all the shop windows. (Too specific to physical display.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=any nonverbal action or gesture that encodes a message | synonyms=signal, signaling | examples=signals from the boat suddenly stopped. (Too specific to gesture/action.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=structure displaying a board on which advertisements can be posted | synonyms=signboard | examples=the highway was lined with signboards. (Too specific to a physical structure.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=(astrology) one of 12 equal areas into which the zodiac is divided | synonyms=sign of the zodiac, star sign, mansion, house, planetary house. (Irrelevant.)
    *   **Sense 6:** definition=(medicine) any objective evidence of the presence of a disorder or disease | examples=there were no signs of asphyxiation. (Possible, but the context is social/demographic, not medical evidence.)
    *   **Sense 7:** definition=having an indicated pole (as the distinction between positive and negative electric charges) | synonyms=polarity | examples=he got the polarity of the battery reversed; charges of opposite sign. (Irrelevant.)
    *   **Sense 8:** definition=an event that is experienced as indicating important things to come | synonyms=augury, foretoken, preindication | examples=he hoped it was an augury; it was a sign from God. (Close, but Sense 1 focuses more on the *indication* itself, rather than the *event* that indicates the future.)
    *   **Sense 9:** definition=a gesture that is part of a sign language. (Irrelevant.)
    *   **Sense 10:** definition=a fundamental linguistic unit linking a signifier to that which is signified; --de Saussure. (Linguistics definition. Irrelevant.)
    *   **Sense 11:** definition=a character indicating a relation between quantities. (Irrelevant.)

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 ("a perceptible indication of something not immediately apparent (as a visible clue that something has happened)") is the best fit for "One bright sign is that..."

    *   Sense 1 (Adult female person): Fits the description of the individuals.
    *   Sense 2 (Significant role in a man's life): Not relevant.
    *   Sense 3 (Housework employee): Not relevant.
    *   Sense 4 (Women as a class): While the context mentions "women," the focus is on the *individuals* entering a specific field, not the abstract concept of womanhood.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1, defining "an adult female person (as opposed to a man)," is the most appropriate fit for describing the individuals who are ringers.

Context: Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers. One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring. Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches. But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin. "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10, "he adds. One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the <t>once</t> male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women. They are not accepted everywhere, however.

Senses:

2. definition=as soon as | examples=once we are home, we can rest
3. definition=at a previous time | synonyms=formerly, at one time, erstwhile, erst | examples=at one time he loved her; her erstwhile writing

3.  **Locate the Target Word:** The target is `<t>once</t>`.

4.  **Analyze the Usage of "once":** The sentence is: "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field..."

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=on one occasion | synonyms=one time, in one case | examples=once I ran into her (Focuses on a single event/occurrence.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=as soon as | examples=once we are home, we can rest (Focuses on immediacy/condition.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=at a previous time | synonyms=formerly, at one time, erstwhile, erst | examples=at one time he loved her; her erstwhile writing (Focuses on a past state or period.)

6.  **Determine the Best Fit:**
    The phrase "entered the once male-dominated field" implies a change in the status or composition of the field over time, specifically noting that it *was* male-dominated and is now changing. While "once" can sometimes mean "one time" (Sense 1), in the context of describing a historical state or a previous condition that has changed, Sense 3 ("at a previous time") is the most appropriate fit. It refers to the field's past status.

7.  **Final Check:** The context is discussing a shift in gender dynamics in a field. "Once male-dominated" means "at a previous time it was male-dominated." This aligns perfectly with Sense 3.

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

Context: Mr. Baldwin is also attacking the greater problem: lack of ringers. One survey says that of the 100,000 trained bellringers in England today, only 40,000 of them still ring. Also, ringers do not always live where the bells need to be rung -- like in small, rural parishes and inner-city churches. But the council's program to attract and train ringers is only partly successful, says Mr. Baldwin. "Right now, we're lucky if after five years we keep one new ringer out of 10, "he adds. One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a <t>third</t> of the ringers today are women. They are not accepted everywhere, however.

2. definition=the day that includes the present moment (as opposed to yesterday or tomorrow) | examples=Today is beautiful; did you see today's newspaper?

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "today" (1 or 2) is used in the provided context.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**

3.  **Analyze the Target Word (<t>today</t>):** The word appears in two places:
    *   "...trained bellringers in England today..." (Referring to the current time/population.)
    *   "...more than a third of the ringers today are women." (Referring to the current state/population.)

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=the present time or age | examples=the world of today; today we have computers (Focuses on the general period/era.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=the day that includes the present moment (as opposed to yesterday or tomorrow) | examples=Today is beautiful; did you see today's newspaper? (Focuses on the specific 24-hour period.)

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    *   The context is discussing current statistics, current problems (lack of ringers), and current demographics (women entering the field).
    *   The usage "ringers in England today" and "ringers today are women" refers to the current state or population *at this moment*.

    *   Does it fit Sense 1 (present time/age)? Yes, it refers to the current era/situation.
    *   Does it fit Sense 2 (the specific day)? While the context is happening *today*, the usage is more about the current *state* or *population* rather than just the specific 24-hour period (e.g., "Today is beautiful" vs. "Today's economy is struggling").

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage emphasizes the current time period or state of affairs. This aligns best with Sense 1. (The examples provided for Sense 1, "the world of today," support this interpretation.)

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "women" in Context:** The context discusses the entry of females into the field of bellringers, noting that "more than a third of the ringers today are women." This refers to females as a group or class, specifically in relation to their participation in a professional field.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=an adult female person (as opposed to a man) | synonyms=adult female | examples=the woman kept house while the man hunted (Focus: general adult female person.)

5.  **Match Context to Sense:**
    The context uses "women" to describe a proportion of people entering a field ("more than a third of the ringers today are women"). This aligns best with the idea of "women as a class."

    *   Sense 4: definition=women as a class | synonyms=womanhood, fair sex | examples=it's an insult to American womanhood; woman is the glory of creation. (Matches the usage.)

6.  **Final Check:** The usage is statistical/class-based, not individual (1), relational (2), or occupational/housework (3). It is a class/group (4).

One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women. They are not <t>accepted</t> everywhere, however. The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey.

Senses:
1. definition=consider or hold as true | examples=I cannot accept the dogma of this church; accept an argument

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify the correct numbered sense of the word "accept" used in the context and return only that number.

2.  **Examine the Context:**
    "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women. They are not <t>accepted</t> everywhere, however.

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "accepted" in Context:**
    The sentence states: "They [women ringers] are not accepted everywhere, however." This implies that the women are not welcomed, admitted, or tolerated in all places. The context contrasts the growing number of women with the fact that a specific group (the oldest society) remains male-only, which is "galling to women."

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   *1. definition=consider or hold as true | examples=I cannot accept the dogma of this church; accept an argument* (Focuses on intellectual agreement/belief.)
    *   *2. definition=receive willingly something given or offered | synonyms=take, have | examples=The only girl who would have him was the miller's daughter; I won't have this dog in my house!* (Focuses on receiving a physical item or offer.)
    *   *3. definition=give an affirmative reply to; respond favorably to | synonyms=consent, go for | examples=I cannot accept your invitation; I go for this resolution* (Focuses on agreeing to a proposal or invitation.)
    *   *4. definition=react favorably to; consider right and proper | examples=People did not accept atonal music at that time; We accept the idea of universal health care* (Focuses on approval or endorsement of an idea/concept.)
    *   *5. definition=admit into a group or community | synonyms=admit, take, take on | examples=accept students for graduate study; We'll have to vote on whether or not to admit a new member* (Focuses on inclusion/admission.)
    *   *6. definition=take on as one's own the expenses or debts of another person | synonyms=bear, take over, assume* (Focuses on financial responsibility.)
    *   *7. definition=tolerate or accommodate oneself to | synonyms=live with, swallow | examples=I shall have to accept these unpleasant working conditions; I swallowed the insult* (Focuses on enduring or putting up with something unpleasant.)
    *   *8. definition=be designed to hold or take | synonyms=take* (Focuses on physical capacity.)
    *   *9. definition=receive (a report) officially, as from a committee* (Focuses on receiving official documents.)
    *   *10. definition=make use of or accept for some purpose | synonyms=take* (Focuses on utilizing something.)
    *   *11. definition=be sexually responsive to, used of a female domesticated mammal* (Biological/sexual context.)

5.  **Match Context to Best Sense:**
    The phrase "They are not accepted everywhere" means they are not admitted or welcomed into all groups/communities.

    *   Sense 5: definition=admit into a group or community. (Strong fit.)
    *   Sense 7: definition=tolerate or accommodate oneself to. (Possible, but Sense 5 captures the idea of exclusion/inclusion better.)

    The context is about social inclusion and belonging ("male-dominated field," "not accepted everywhere"). Sense 5 is the most precise fit.

6.  **Final Check:** The women are not admitted into all groups. This aligns perfectly with Sense 5.

    The sentence containing it is: "One bright sign is that a growing number of women have entered the once male-dominated field; more than a third of the ringers today are women. They are not accepted everywhere, however."

4.  **Determine the Function of "however" in Context:**
    *   The preceding statement is: "They are not accepted everywhere." (This is a negative/limiting statement.)
    *   The following statement is: "The oldest bell-ringing group... remains male-only, a fact that's particularly galling to women..." (This introduces a contrasting or surprising fact that supports the difficulty of acceptance.)
    *   "However" is used here to introduce a contrast or concession, suggesting that despite the general trend (women entering the field), there is a specific counter-example or difficulty (the male-only group).

5.  **Compare Contextual Function with Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession) | synonyms=nevertheless, withal, still, yet, all the same, even so | examples=although I'm a little afraid, however I'd like to try it; while we disliked each other, nevertheless we agreed
        *   *Match:* This sense fits perfectly. It introduces a contrast or qualification to the previous statement ("They are not accepted everywhere," *but* there is a specific exception/difficulty).

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=by contrast; on the other hand | examples=the first part was easy; the second, however, took hours
        *   *Match:* Possible, but Sense 1 is a stronger fit when introducing a contrasting idea in a complex argument structure.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=to whatever degree or extent | examples=The results, however general, are important; they have begun, however reluctantly, to acknowledge the legitimacy of some of the opposition's concerns
        *   *Match:* No. The context is not about degree or extent.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=in whatever way or manner | examples=Victory, however it was brought about, was sweet; however he did it, it was very clever
        *   *Match:* No. The context is not about manner.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct usage.

    *   Sense 1 (the sound of someone playing a set of bells) is related to the action.
    *   Sense 3 (playing a set of bells that are (usually) hung in a tower) is highly specific to the physical act of bell-ringing, often associated with tower bells (like those in cathedrals).

6.  **Determine the Best Fit:**
    *   The term "bell-ringing" refers to the practice of ringing bells.
    *   Sense 3 describes the physical act of playing bells, often in a tower setting, which aligns perfectly with the historical and institutional context (Ancient Society, St. Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey).

3.  **Locate the Target Word:** The target is `<t>country</t>`.

4.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:**
    "...the oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only..."
    Here, "the country" refers to a specific, defined entity (a geographical/cultural/historical area) that contains a specific group (the bell-ringing society).

5.  **Evaluate the Senses against the Usage:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a politically organized body of people under a single government | synonyms=state, nation, land, commonwealth, res publica, body politic | examples=the state has elected a new president; African nations. (Focuses on political organization/state.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the territory occupied by a nation | synonyms=state, land | examples=he returned to the land of his birth; he visited several European countries. (Focuses on physical territory.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=the people who live in a nation or country | synonyms=nation, land | examples=a statement that sums up the nation's mood; the news was announced to the nation. (Focuses on the inhabitants/population.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=an area outside of cities and towns | synonyms=rural area | examples=his poetry celebrated the slower pace of life in the country. (Focuses on geography/rurality.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography) | synonyms=area | examples=it was a mountainous area; Bible country. (Focuses on a specific, defined region, often cultural or geographical.)

6.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The context uses "the country" to refer to a specific, historical, and cultural entity (the location/area where the group exists).

    *   Sense 2 (territory) is possible, but Sense 5 is more precise when referring to a specific region defined by its history or culture (like "Bible country" or a specific geographical region).
    *   Sense 3 (people) is incorrect, as it refers to the group, not the people themselves.
    *   Sense 4 (rural area) is too narrow; the context is about a historical society, not just rural life.
    *   Sense 5 (particular geographical region... distinguished by its people or culture or geography) fits best, as it defines a specific area (the country) that hosts a specific cultural/historical group.

7.  **Final Check:** The usage "the oldest bell-ringing group in the country" treats "country" as a defined region or area. Sense 5 captures this idea of a specific, defined geographical/cultural region.

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "founded":**
    The structure is: "[Group name], founded in 1637..."
    In this context, "founded" means that the group was established or set up at a specific time in the past.

4.  **Examine the Senses provided for "found":**

    *   1. definition=set up or found | synonyms=establish, set up, launch | examples=She set up a literacy program
    *   2. definition=set up or lay the groundwork for | synonyms=establish, plant, constitute, institute | examples=establish a new department

    *   ... (other senses)

5.  **Match the Usage to the Senses:**
    The context uses "founded" to mean "established" or "set up" (a group was established in 1637).

    *   Sense 1: definition=set up or found | synonyms=establish, set up, launch. (Matches the meaning of establishing a group.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=set up or lay the groundwork for | synonyms=establish, plant, constitute, institute. (Also a strong match, focusing on laying the groundwork.)

6.  **Refine the Choice (1 vs 2):**
    "Founded" is typically used for the initial establishment of an organization or system.
    Sense 1: "set up or found" (synonyms: establish, set up, launch).
    Sense 2: "set up or lay the groundwork for" (synonyms: establish, plant, constitute, institute).

    Both are very close. However, Sense 1 is the most direct definition for the action of creating or establishing something (like a society or organization).

7.  **Final Check:** The group was *established* in 1637. Sense 1 defines "found" as "set up or found" with synonyms including "establish" and "set up." This is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The goal is to identify which numbered sense of "fact" (marked with `<t>fact</t>`) is used in the provided context.

2.  **Locate the Target Word/Phrase:** The target is `<t>fact</t>` in the context.
    Context snippet: "The oldest bell-ringing group in the country, the Ancient Society of College Youths, founded in 1637, remains male-only, a <t>fact</t> that's particularly galling to women because the group is the sole source of ringers for Britain's most prestigious churches, St. Paul's Cathedral and Westminster Abbey."

3.  **Analyze the Usage in Context:** The sentence states that the group remains male-only, and this state is presented as a verifiable piece of information or a known circumstance.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred | examples=first you must collect all the facts of the case
        *   *Check against context:* The statement "the group remains male-only" is a piece of information about a current circumstance. This aligns well.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened | examples=he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts
        *   *Check against context:* The statement is presented as verified information (it is a known state of the group). This also aligns well.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=an event known to have happened or something known to have existed | examples=your fears have no basis in fact; how much of the story is fact and how much fiction is hard to tell
        *   *Check against context:* While the founding date (1637) is an event, the word "fact" here refers to the *current state* (male-only). This sense focuses more on historical events or existence rather than current circumstances.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=a concept whose truth can be proved | examples=scientific hypotheses are not facts
        *   *Check against context:* The context is discussing a social/organizational reality, not a scientific hypothesis. This sense is inappropriate.

5.  **Compare Sense 1 and Sense 2:**
    *   Sense 1: "a piece of information about circumstances that exist or events that have occurred"
    *   Sense 2: "a statement or assertion of verified information about something that is the case or has happened"

    The phrase "a fact that's particularly galling" is asserting that the state of being male-only is a verifiable piece of information about the current circumstances of the group. Both 1 and 2 are plausible, but Sense 2 emphasizes the *verified nature* of the statement ("statement or assertion of verified information"), which fits the tone of reporting a social reality. Sense 1 is also very close.

    Let's re-read the examples provided for clarity:
    Sense 1 example: "first you must collect all the facts of the case" (Focus on collecting data/information).
    Sense 2 example: "he supported his argument with an impressive array of facts" (Focus on using facts to support an argument).

    The context uses "a fact" to describe the *state* of the group. This state is a verified piece of information about the circumstances. Sense 2 seems the most precise fit for describing a verified statement about the current situation.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 2.

    "Galling" means annoying or irritating. The fact is that the group is male-only. The fact is *more* annoying or *more* significant in a specific way for women.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common | synonyms=peculiarly, especially, specially | examples=he was particularly fussy about spelling; a particularly gruesome attack
        *   *Check against context:* Does the fact that the group is male-only make the situation *distinctly greater* or *more* galling? Yes. This fits the idea of "to a distinctly greater extent or degree."

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=specifically or especially distinguished from others | synonyms=in particular | examples=loves Bach, particularly his partitas; recommended one book in particular
        *   *Check against context:* Is the fact *specifically* or *in particular* distinguished? While the group is the *sole source* (which is specific), the focus of "particularly" here is on the *degree* of the annoyance, not just the specific identification of the group.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=uniquely or characteristically; ; ; - John Knowles | synonyms=peculiarly | examples=these peculiarly cinematic elements; a peculiarly French phenomenon
        *   *Check against context:* Is the fact *uniquely* or *characteristically* galling? It is galling, but the emphasis is on the *intensity* of the feeling/problem, not just the unique nature of the group itself.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 (to a distinctly greater extent or degree than is common) is the best fit, as it emphasizes the heightened degree of the negative feeling ("galling") caused by the situation.
