5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The context describes the ringers *departing* from the worship/church service to go to the pub.

    *   Sense 5 (move out of or depart from) fits the physical action of skipping off.
    *   Sense 8 (remove oneself from an association) also fits the idea of leaving the group/activity (worship).

    Let's re-read the phrase: "leaving worship for others below." They are physically moving away from the worship.

    Sense 5: definition=move out of or depart from | synonyms=exit, go out, get out | examples=leave the room; the fugitive has left the country. (Strong fit for physical departure.)
    Sense 8: definition=remove oneself from an association with or participation in | synonyms=depart, pull up stakes | examples=She wants to leave; The teenager left home. (Also a good fit, as they are leaving the congregation.)

    However, Sense 5 is the most direct description of the action of "skipping off to the local pub" (departing).

6.  **Final Check:** The action is leaving the location/activity of worship. Sense 5 captures the movement/departure aspect best.

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    "In a well-known detective-story involving church bells, English novelist Dorothy L.

'Ringers, she added, are 'filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed.

3.  **Determine the Meaning of "worship" in Context:**
    The sentence is: "...ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving <t>worship</t> for others below."
    The context implies that the ringers are leaving the religious/sacred activity (the church/belfry) and leaving the act of religious devotion/prayer/service for the people remaining there.

4.  **Analyze the Senses Provided:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=the activity of worshipping
    *   Sense 2: definition=a feeling of profound love and admiration | synonyms=adoration

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    *   If "worship" meant "a feeling of profound love and admiration" (Sense 2), the sentence would likely be about feeling adoration or being admired.
    *   If "worship" meant "the activity of worshipping" (Sense 1), the sentence makes sense: they are leaving the act of worship/devotion for others.

6.  **Conclusion:** The context uses "worship" in the sense of the activity or practice of religious devotion. This corresponds to Sense 1.

7.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 1.

3.  **Determine the Meaning of `<t>below</t>` in Context:**
    The ringers are leaving the church/worship and going to the pub. They are "leaving worship for others below." This suggests a physical location that is lower than the current location (the church/tower).

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=in or to a place that is lower | synonyms=at a lower place, to a lower place, beneath
        *   *Match Check:* This fits the idea of a physical location that is lower.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=at a later place | examples=see below
        *   *Match Check:* Does not fit. (e.g., "see below").

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=(in writing) see below | synonyms=infra | examples=vide infra
        *   *Match Check:* Does not fit. (e.g., "see below").

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=on a floor below | synonyms=downstairs, down the stairs, on a lower floor | examples=the tenants live downstairs
        *   *Match Check:* This is a specific type of "lower place," but Sense 1 is broader ("in or to a place that is lower").

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=further down | synonyms=under | examples=see under for further discussion
        *   *Match Check:* Does not fit. (e.g., "see under").

5.  **Compare Best Fits (Sense 1 vs. Sense 4):**
    The context refers to leaving worship for "others below." This is a general spatial relationship (lower location). Sense 1 ("in or to a place that is lower") is the most general and accurate fit for the context of leaving a high place (the church) for a lower place (the pub/other people). Sense 4 is too specific (only referring to a floor).

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

    *   Context: vicars are *pressing* ringers to attend services. (Active advocacy/forcing them to do something.)
    *   Sense 2: force or impel in an indicated direction (synonyms=urge, urge on, exhort). (Fits the idea of urging/forcing action.)
    *   Sense 9: exert oneself continuously, vigorously, or obtrusively to gain an end or engage in a crusade for a certain cause or person; be an advocate for (synonyms=crusade, fight, campaign, push, agitate). (Fits the idea of advocacy/campaigning.)

6.  **Determine the Best Fit:** The context describes vicars actively trying to *get* the ringers to attend services, which is an act of advocacy or campaigning. Sense 9 captures this sense of vigorous advocacy and campaigning best. Sense 2 is also close (urging), but Sense 9 emphasizes the sustained, vigorous effort ("crusade," "campaign").

7.  **Final Check:** The phrase "pressing ringers" means the vicars are campaigning/pushing for the ringers to attend. This aligns perfectly with Sense 9.

2. definition=frequently or in great quantities | synonyms=much, a great deal | examples=I don't drink much; I don't travel much

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

2.  **Locate the Target Word and Context:**
    The word is "<t>often</t>" in the sentence: "With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and <t>often</t> non-religious ringers to attend services."

3.  **Analyze the Contextual Meaning of "often":**
    The sentence describes the action of vicars pressing non-religious ringers to attend services. The implication is that these non-religious ringers are frequently (or many times) being pressed/asked to attend.
