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 <t>sacked</t> 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.

3.  **Analyze the Usage:** The ringers took action (setting up a picket line) immediately after being sacked/getting fed up. The action happened without delay.

4.  **Analyze the Senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=with little or no delay | synonyms=quickly, quick | examples=the rescue squad arrived promptly; come here, quick! (Focuses on speed/lack of delay.)
    *   Sense 2: definition=in a punctual manner | synonyms=readily, pronto | examples=he did his homework promptly (Focuses on being on time/punctual.)
    *   Sense 3: definition=at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence) | synonyms=right away | examples=he promptly forgot the address (Focuses on immediate reaction, often to something negative.)

5.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    *   The action (setting up a picket line) was done quickly/immediately in response to a situation (being sacked/fed up).
    *   Sense 1 (with little or no delay, quickly) fits well.
    *   Sense 3 (at once, usually modifies an undesirable occurrence) also fits well, as setting up a picket line is a strong, immediate reaction to a negative event (being fired).

6.  **Refine the Distinction (Promptly vs. At Once):**
    *   "Promptly" often emphasizes speed and lack of delay (Sense 1).
    *   "Promptly" can also mean immediately/at once (Sense 3).
    *   In the context of protest/reaction, both are plausible. However, Sense 1 ("with little or no delay") is the most direct definition of the core meaning of "promptly" when describing an action taken in response to a stimulus.

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the most accurate fit for describing the immediate, swift action taken by the ringers.

8.  **Final Check:** The action was swift and immediate. This aligns best with "with little or no delay." (Sense 1).

    "They were a self-perpetuating club that <t>treated</t> the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says."

3.  **Analyze the Usage:** The phrase is "treated the tower as sort of a separate premises." This suggests the club was interacting with or handling the tower in a specific way, perhaps treating it like a separate entity or location.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=interact in a certain way | synonyms=handle, do by | examples=Do right by her; Treat him with caution, please

        *   *Fit:* Possible, but less likely than Sense 1. "Treated" here doesn't seem to mean "dealt with" or "covered" in the sense of dealing with a topic.

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=provide with a gift or entertainment | examples=Grandmother always treated us to the circus; I like to treat myself to a day at a spa when I am depressed
        *   *Fit:* Does not fit. They weren't giving gifts to the tower.

    *   **Sense 8:** definition=regard or consider in a specific way | examples=I treated his advances as a joke
        *   *Fit:* Possible, but Sense 1 (interact/handle) seems more active and appropriate for describing how a club interacts with a physical structure.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 ("interact in a certain way | synonyms=handle, do by") is the best fit for describing how a club might interact with or view a physical structure like a tower.

An entirely new band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation."

3.  **Identify the Target Word and its Usage:** The target word is "<t>tower</t>".
    The sentence containing it is: "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises..."

4.  **Determine the Meaning of "tower" in Context:** In this context, the "tower" is being treated "as sort of a separate premises." This implies a physical structure, likely a tall building or part of the church structure (like a bell tower or a specific section of the building).

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a structure taller than its diameter; can stand alone or be attached to a larger building. (Matches the idea of a physical structure/building part.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=anything that approximates the shape of a column or tower | synonyms=column, pillar | examples=the test tube held a column of white powder; a tower of dust rose above the horizon. (Matches the idea of a structure/column, but the examples lean towards abstract or specific shapes.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=a powerful small boat designed to pull or push larger ships | synonyms=tugboat, tug, towboat. (Does not match the context.)

6.  **Conclusion:** The context refers to a physical structure ("separate premises"), which aligns best with Sense 1 (a structure taller than its diameter).

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

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.

Senses:

3.  **Analyze the Usage:** The phrase is "sort of a separate premises." The word "sort" is used here to mean "a type of," "a kind of," or "a category of." It is modifying "separate premises."

4.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality | synonyms=kind, form, variety | examples=sculpture is a form of art; what kinds of desserts are there? (Matches the usage: treating the tower as a *type* or *category* of premises.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=an approximate definition or example | examples=she wore a sort of magenta dress; she served a creamy sort of dessert thing (Does not match. The context is not giving an approximation.)

5.  **Match the Context to the Senses:**
    The context refers to treating the tower as "premises" (a physical location) that are distinct or not attached to the main structure/church.

    *   Sense 1 (independent/not united): Possible, but less specific to physical separation.
    *   Sense 2 (standing apart; not attached to or supported by anything): This strongly matches the idea of treating a tower as a distinct, freestanding unit ("freestanding bell tower").
    *   Sense 3 (separated according to race, sex, class, or religion): Irrelevant.
    *   Sense 4 (have the connection undone): Irrelevant.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most appropriate meaning in the context of a physical structure (a tower/premises).

4.  **Review the Senses:**

    *   2. definition=report or maintain | synonyms=allege, aver | examples=He alleged that he was the victim of a crime; He said it was too late to intervene in the war (Focuses on reporting/stating facts/claims.)
    *   3. definition=express a supposition | synonyms=suppose | examples=Let us say that he did not tell the truth; Let's say you had a lot of money--what would you do? (Focuses on hypothesizing.)
    *   4. definition=have or contain a certain wording or form | synonyms=read | examples=The passage reads as follows; What does the law say? (Focuses on the wording of text.)
    *   5. definition=give instructions to or direct somebody to do something with authority | synonyms=order, tell, enjoin (Focuses on commanding.)

5.  **Match Usage to Senses:**
    The structure "Vicar Hummerstone says..." is used to attribute a statement or opinion.

    *   Sense 1 (express in words/state, tell) fits well for introducing a direct statement.
    *   Sense 9 (state as one's opinion or judgement; declare) also fits, as the quote is likely an opinion or observation about the club.

6.  **Refine the Choice (1 vs 9):**
    When reporting what someone said (introducing a quote), Sense 1 ("express in words | synonyms=state, tell") is the most general and accurate fit for the function of the verb in this context. Sense 9 is also plausible, but Sense 1 captures the act of conveying the content of the statement.

    *   Example check: "He said that he wanted to marry her." (Sense 1)
    *   Context check: "the Vicar Hummerstone says [statement]." (Sense 1)

7.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the best fit.

2. definition=original and of a kind not seen before | synonyms=fresh, novel | examples=the computer produced a completely novel proof of a well-known theorem

    The sentence containing the target word is: "An entirely <t>new</t> band rings today at Great Torrington, several of whom are members of the congregation."

3.  **Analyze the Contextual Meaning:**
    The context describes a band that is entirely new. It contrasts with the previous situation (the band being sacked). The key implication is that this band is a fresh, recently formed, or entirely different entity.

4.  **Examine the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=not of long duration; having just (or relatively recently) come into being or been made or acquired or discovered | examples=a new law; new cars (Focuses on recent creation/acquisition.)

    *   **Sense 7:** definition=(of a new kind or fashion) gratuitously new | synonyms=newfangled | examples=newfangled ideas; she buys all these new-fangled machines and never uses them (Focuses on being trendy/newfangled, often implying novelty but sometimes negative.)
    *   **Sense 8:** definition=in use after medieval times (Historical usage.)
    *   **Sense 9:** definition=used of a living language; being the current stage in its development (Focuses on evolution/modernity.)
    *   **Sense 10:** definition=(of crops) harvested at an early stage of development; before complete maturity (Focuses on stage of growth.)
    *   **Sense 11:** definition=unfamiliar | examples=new experiences; experiences new to him (Focuses on unfamiliarity.)

5.  **Match Context to Senses:**
    The phrase "An entirely new band" emphasizes that this band is a creation that did not exist before, making it original and unprecedented.

    *   Sense 1 (recently come into being) is plausible.
    *   Sense 2 (original and of a kind not seen before) is a very strong fit for describing an "entirely new band."
    *   Sense 4 (no previous example) is also strong.

    Let's re-read the options and the context. "An entirely new band rings today..." This suggests novelty and originality.

    *   If it were Sense 1, it would just mean "recently formed."
    *   If it were Sense 2, it means "original and novel."

    Sense 2 ("original and of a kind not seen before") captures the sense of a completely fresh, unprecedented entity, which fits the tone of describing a band that is entirely new to the community.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the most precise fit for describing something that is "entirely new" in the sense of being original and unprecedented.

At St. Mary's Church in Ilminster, Somerset, the bells have fallen silent following a dust-up over church attendance."

3.  **Analyze the Usage of "still":** The phrase is "But there still are not enough ringers..."

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=with reference to action or condition; without change, interruption, or cessation | examples=it's still warm outside; will you still love me when we're old and grey? (Focuses on continuity/lack of change.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=despite anything to the contrary (usually following a concession) | synonyms=however, nevertheless, withal, 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 (Focuses on contrast/concession.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=to a greater degree or extent; used with comparisons | synonyms=even, yet | examples=looked sick and felt even worse; an even (or still) more interesting problem (Focuses on degree/comparison.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=without moving or making a sound | synonyms=stock-still | examples=he sat still as a statue; time stood still (Focuses on physical immobility or cessation of movement/sound.)

5.  **Match Usage to Senses:**

    *   The phrase "there still are not enough ringers" means "even now," or "continuing to be," that the number of ringers is insufficient. It emphasizes the persistence or continuation of the situation (the lack of enough ringers).
    *   Sense 1: "without change, interruption, or cessation." This fits the idea that the situation (not having enough ringers) continues.
    *   Sense 2: Contrast. Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 3: Degree/Comparison. Not applicable here.
    *   Sense 4: Immobile/Silent. Not applicable here.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage aligns best with Sense 1 (without change, interruption, or cessation).
