The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "bells" (plural of "bell") based on the provided context.

Context analysis:
The text discusses a group that "keeps the Aslacton bells pealing." It then mentions "nearly a third of England's church bells are no longer rung on Sundays." Later, it talks about "playing tunes on bells," "Change-ringing," and how "some bells weigh more than a ton."

Key phrases:
1. "Aslacton bells pealing" (pealing refers to the sound of bells being rung).
2. "England's church bells are no longer rung on Sundays."
3. "playing tunes on bells."
4. "Change-ringing... requires physical dexterity -- some bells weigh more than a ton."

The context clearly refers to large, physical bells used in churches for ringing and making sound.

Candidate sense analysis:
1. `bell%1:06:00`: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck." (Matches the physical description of church bells).
2. `bell%1:06:02`: "a push button at an outer door..." (Doorbell - Incorrect).
3. `bell%1:11:00`: "the sound of a bell being struck." (Abstract sound - Possible, but the context refers to the physical objects being rung/weighing a ton).
4. `bell%1:28:00`: "(nautical) each of the eight half-hour units..." (Nautical time - Incorrect).
5. `bell%1:25:00`: "the shape of a bell." (Shape - Incorrect).
6. `bell%1:18:02`: "a phonetician and father of Alexander Graham Bell..." (Person - Incorrect).
7. `bell%1:18:01`: "English painter..." (Person - Incorrect).
8. `bell%1:18:00`: "United States inventor... of the telephone..." (Person - Incorrect).
9. `bell%1:06:04`: "a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells..." (Chime/Gong - Possible, but the context emphasizes large, heavy church bells, which are typically defined by sense 1).
10. `bell%1:06:03`: "the flared opening of a tubular device." (Part of a bell, but not the bell itself - Incorrect).

Comparison between Sense 1 and Sense 9:
Sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck." (General definition of a bell, fits church bells).
Sense 9: "a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells that are struck with a hammer..." (More specific, usually referring to a set like a glockenspiel or tubular bells).

The context describes large, heavy, traditional church bells ("church bells," "some bells weigh more than a ton," "Change-ringing"). Sense 1 is the most accurate and general definition for these objects. While Sense 9 describes a type of bell instrument, Sense 1 covers the physical object used in the traditional English change-ringing context described.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "Europe" based on the provided context.

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

Candidate senses:
1. `europe%1:17:00`: 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. (Geographical continent)
2. `europe%1:14:00`: an international organization of European countries formed after World War II to reduce trade barriers and increase cooperation among its members. (Political/Economic organization, e.g., EU)
3. `europe%1:14:01`: the nations of the European continent collectively. (Collective reference to the continent's countries/culture)

Analysis:
The phrase is "carillons of continental Europe".
Carillons are musical instruments/structures. The context is discussing the difference between English change-ringing and the simpler version found in continental Europe.
"Continental Europe" refers to the landmass and the cultures/nations within it, not specifically the political organization (like the EU) or just the geographical definition (though related).

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. Sense 1 (Continent): This is a strong candidate as it refers to the geographical area.
2. Sense 2 (Organization): This is unlikely. The context is about musical traditions (carillons), not trade barriers or political cooperation.
3. Sense 3 (Nations collectively): This refers to the collective body of nations/culture of the continent. This fits well with discussing cultural practices (like carillons) associated with "continental" regions.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 3:
Sense 1 defines Europe as a continent.
Sense 3 defines Europe as the nations of the European continent collectively.

In the phrase "continental Europe," both senses are plausible. However, when discussing cultural practices (like carillons) and contrasting them with English traditions, referring to the *nations* or the *cultural sphere* (Sense 3) is often the intended meaning, especially when using the adjective "continental." Sense 3 captures the idea of the collective cultural/national identity associated with the continent, which is more nuanced than just the physical landmass (Sense 1).

Let's re-examine the definitions and usage.
If the text meant the physical landmass, Sense 1 is accurate.
If the text meant the cultural/political grouping, Sense 3 is accurate.

Given the context ("carillons... is considered by the English to be childish, fit only for foreigners"), the discussion is about cultural perception and tradition. Sense 3 ("the nations of the European continent collectively") best captures this cultural/national scope implied by "continental Europe" in this context.

Therefore, Sense 3 is the best fit.

reasoning_content:
The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the word "considered" in the given context.
The target lemma is "consider".
The target surface form is "considered".
The context 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."

I need to analyze how "considered" is used here.
The structure is: [Subject] is considered by [Agent] to be [Predicate/Attribute].
The subject is "The less complicated version of playing tunes on bells".
The predicate/attribute is "childish, fit only for foreigners".
The meaning is that the English people *view* or *regard* this version of playing bells as childish.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. sense_key=consider%2:31:00:: | definition=deem to be | synonyms=see, reckon, view, regard | examples=She views this quite differently from me; I consider her to be shallow
    * This matches the structure: [X] is considered [Y]. The English deem this version to be childish. This is a strong candidate.

2. sense_key=consider%2:39:00:: | definition=give careful consideration to | synonyms=study | examples=consider the possibility of moving
    * This means to think about something deeply. The sentence doesn't mean that the English are studying the version; it means they are judging it. (Incorrect)

3. sense_key=consider%2:31:01:: | definition=take into consideration for exemplifying purposes | synonyms=take, deal, look at | examples=Take the case of China; Consider the following case
    * This relates to using something as an example. (Incorrect)

4. sense_key=consider%2:32:00:: | 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
    * This relates to showing empathy or factoring something into a decision. (Incorrect)

5. sense_key=consider%2:32:02:: | definition=think about carefully; weigh | synonyms=debate, moot, turn over, deliberate | examples=They considered the possibility of a strike; Turn the proposal over in your mind
    * Similar to sense 2, this is about mental deliberation. (Incorrect)

6. sense_key=consider%2:31:08:: | 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
    * This also matches the meaning of judging or viewing something as childish. This is also a very strong candidate.

7. sense_key=consider%2:39:04:: | definition=look at attentively | synonyms=regard
    * This is too narrow (physical looking). (Incorrect)

8. sense_key=consider%2:39:08:: | definition=look at carefully; study mentally | synonyms=view, look at | examples=view a problem
    * Similar to sense 2 and 5 (mental study). (Incorrect)

9. sense_key=consider%2:31:05:: | definition=regard or treat with consideration, respect, and esteem | examples=Please consider your family
    * This relates to giving respect or attention. While related to "regard," sense 1 and 6 are more precise for the act of judging something as having a certain quality (childish).

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 6:
Sense 1: definition=deem to be | synonyms=see, reckon, view, regard
Sense 6: definition=judge or regard; look upon; judge | synonyms=think, believe, conceive

The context is: "is considered by the English to be childish".
Both senses capture the idea of judging/viewing. Sense 1 uses "deem to be," which perfectly fits the structure "is considered to be [X]". Sense 6 uses "judge or regard."

Sense 1 seems slightly more idiomatic for the passive construction "is considered to be X" when X is a quality or status.

Let's choose Sense 1 as the best fit.

The context 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, <t>fit</t> only for foreigners."

Target word: fit
Contextual meaning: The version of playing tunes on bells is considered childish, and *fit* only for foreigners.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=fit%3:00:02:: | definition=meeting adequate standards for a purpose | examples=a fit subject for discussion; it is fit and proper that you be there
2. sense_key=fit%5:00:00:ready:00 | definition=(usually followed by `to' or `for') on the point of or strongly disposed | synonyms=primed, set | examples=in no fit state to continue; fit to drop
3. sense_key=fit%3:00:01:: | definition=physically and mentally sound or healthy | examples=felt relaxed and fit after their holiday; keeps fit with diet and exercise

Analysis:
The structure is "childish, fit only for foreigners."
"Fit for" usually means suitable or appropriate for.

Let's check the senses against this meaning:

1. sense_key=fit%3:00:02:: | definition=meeting adequate standards for a purpose | This aligns well with "suitable for" or "appropriate for." If something is "fit for foreigners," it means it is suitable or appropriate for them (in this context, perhaps meaning they are the only ones who appreciate it, or it is a style suited to them).
2. sense_key=fit%5:00:00:ready:00 | definition=(usually followed by `to' or `for') on the point of or strongly disposed | This relates to readiness or disposition (e.g., "fit to drop"). While it uses "for," the meaning is about readiness, not suitability/appropriateness in the sense of quality or target audience.
3. sense_key=fit%3:00:01:: | definition=physically and mentally sound or healthy | This is clearly about health and physical condition, which does not fit the context of cultural suitability.

Conclusion: Sense 1, defined as "meeting adequate standards for a purpose," is the best fit, as "fit for foreigners" means it is suitable or appropriate for them.

The required output format is a JSON object with the sense index.
Sense 1 corresponds to index 1.

Context sentence: "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 <t>only</t> for foreigners."

Target word: only

Analysis of the context:
The sentence states that a certain version of bell playing is considered "childish" and then qualifies *who* it is suitable for: "fit only for foreigners."
This structure suggests restriction or limitation. It means it is suitable *exclusively* or *solely* for foreigners, implying it is not suitable for others (e.g., English people, or generally).

The phrase "fit only for foreigners" means it is suitable *exclusively* for foreigners.
Sense 2: definition=without any others being included or involved; synonyms=entirely, exclusively, solely, alone. This is the perfect match for the restrictive/exclusive meaning conveyed by "only" here.
Sense 1: definition=and nothing more; synonyms=merely, simply, just, but. While related to limitation, Sense 2 captures the sense of *exclusivity* (only foreigners, no one else) more precisely than Sense 1 (just foreigners, nothing else about the suitability).

Conclusion: Sense 2 is the best fit.

Thinking Process:

1.  **Analyze the Target Word and Context:**
    *   Target lemma: foreigner
    *   Target surface form: foreigners
    *   Context sentence: "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 <t>foreigners</t>."
    *   Surrounding context: The discussion is about English change-ringing (a complex, traditional art form) versus simpler versions found in continental Europe (carillons). The English view the simpler version as "childish."

2.  **Analyze the Candidate Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1 (foreigner%1:18:00):**
        *   Definition: a person who comes from a foreign country; someone who does not owe allegiance to your country.
        *   Synonyms: alien, noncitizen, outlander.
        *   *Relevance Check:* The context mentions "continental Europe" and contrasts English tradition with European (non-English) versions. It is highly plausible that the English speakers are dismissing the simpler style as being suitable only for people from other countries.

    *   **Sense 2 (foreigner%1:18:01):**
        *   Definition: someone who is excluded from or is not a member of a group.
        *   Synonyms: outsider.
        *   *Relevance Check:* The context is about cultural preference and skill level (complex vs. childish). While the simpler style might be seen as "outside" the high standard of English change-ringing, the phrasing "fit only for foreigners" strongly suggests a geographical or national origin distinction, rather than a mere social exclusion.

3.  **Compare and Select the Best Sense:**
    *   The contrast is explicitly drawn between the English tradition and the practices of "continental Europe."
    *   The phrase "fit only for foreigners" functions as a pejorative dismissal of a foreign cultural practice.
    *   Sense 1 (person from a foreign country) aligns perfectly with the geographical and cultural contrast established in the sentence.
    *   Sense 2 (outsider/excluded) is too general and misses the specific implication of national/regional origin suggested by the mention of continental Europe.

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

5.  **Format the Output:** (Ensure the output is a JSON object with the correct structure, referencing the chosen sense index.)

Analysis of the context:
The sentence is: "Change-ringing, a mind-boggling exercise the <t>English</t> invented 380 years ago, requires physical dexterity..."

The word "English" is used as the subject of the verb "invented." It refers to the group of people who created the change-ringing exercise.

Evaluating the senses:
1. Language: "The English language invented..." (Grammatically awkward and semantically incorrect. Languages don't invent physical practices like change-ringing.)
2. People of England: "The English (people) invented..." (This fits perfectly. It refers to the creators/inventors.)
3. Discipline (Linguistics): "The English discipline invented..." (Incorrect. A field of study doesn't invent a physical art form.)
4. Spin (Sports): (Completely irrelevant.)

Conclusion: The sense referring to the people of England is the correct interpretation.

Matching to candidate keys:
Sense 2: definition=the people of England | synonyms=English people.

Candidate senses:

4. sense_key=year%1:14:00:: | definition=a body of students who graduate together | synonyms=class | examples=the class of '97; she was in my year at Hoehandle High

The phrase is "380 years ago". This refers to a duration of time in the past.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **sense_key=year%1:28:01**: "a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days". This is the standard definition of a calendar year, and it perfectly fits the concept of a duration (380 periods of 365/366 days). The examples (she is 4 years old; in the year 1920) support this general sense of duration.
2. **sense_key=year%1:28:02**: "a period of time occupying a regular part of a calendar year that is used for some particular activity" (e.g., school year). This is too specific and doesn't match the context of historical invention duration.
3. **sense_key=year%1:28:00**: "the period of time that it takes for a planet... to make a complete revolution around the sun". This is astronomical and irrelevant to the context.
4. **sense_key=year%1:14:00**: "a body of students who graduate together". This is completely irrelevant.

Sense 1 is the best fit, as "380 years ago" refers to a span of time measured in standard calendar years.

The required output format is a JSON object with the sense index.
Sense 1 corresponds to index 1.

4. sense_key=require%2:34:00:: | definition=have need of | synonyms=want, need | examples=This piano wants the attention of a competent tuner

Analysis of the context:
The sentence states that "Change-ringing... requires physical dexterity... combined with intense mental concentration."
Here, "requires" means that change-ringing needs or demands these qualities (dexterity and concentration) to be performed successfully.

Evaluating the senses:
1. sense_key=require%2:42:00:: (necessitate, need, involve). This sense relates to something being necessary or involved. "Change-ringing requires physical dexterity" fits perfectly here.
2. sense_key=require%2:32:01:: (consider obligatory; request and expect). This usually applies to people or actions being demanded of someone (e.g., "We require our secretary to be on time"). While it involves obligation, the context is about the *activity* needing the *qualities*.
3. sense_key=require%2:32:00:: (make someone do something). This is causative (e.g., "The law requires him to pay"). Not applicable here.
4. sense_key=require%2:34:00:: (have need of). This sense is often used when an inanimate object needs something (e.g., "The piano needs tuning"). While the activity (change-ringing) is abstract, the relationship is more about the necessary components/qualities (dexterity, concentration) being involved in the execution, which aligns better with sense 1's broader meaning of necessity/involvement.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 4:
Sense 4 (have need of) is very close, but Sense 1 (necessitate, involve) captures the idea that these qualities are inherent requirements or components of the activity itself, which is a slightly broader and more accurate fit for describing the demands of a complex skill.

Let's re-examine Sense 1: "require as useful, just, or proper | synonyms=necessitate, ask, postulate, need, take, involve".
"Change-ringing requires physical dexterity" -> Change-ringing necessitates/involves physical dexterity. This is the best fit.

The best indexed sense is 1.

The user wants me to perform Word Sense Disambiguation for the target word "physical" in the given context.

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."

Target word: physical
Collocates/Contextual clues: "dexterity", "some bells weigh more than a ton", "intense mental concentration".

The word "physical" is modifying "dexterity". Dexterity refers to skill in performing tasks, often involving fine motor control. The context emphasizes that this dexterity is required because "some bells weigh more than a ton," indicating a requirement for bodily strength and coordination.

Let's analyze the candidate senses:

1. **sense_key=physical%3:00:00:: | definition=involving the body as distinguished from the mind or spirit | examples=physical exercise; physical suffering**
   * This sense relates directly to the body and bodily actions. Dexterity, especially when dealing with heavy objects (bells weighing more than a ton), is a bodily skill. This seems highly relevant.

2. **sense_key=physical%3:01:00:: | definition=relating to the sciences dealing with matter and energy; especially physics | examples=physical sciences; physical laws**
   * Irrelevant. The context is about ringing bells, not scientific study.

3. **sense_key=physical%5:00:00:material:01 | definition=having substance or material existence; perceptible to the senses | examples=a physical manifestation; surrounded by tangible objects**
   * This sense relates to tangibility. While the bells are tangible, "physical dexterity" here refers to the *type* of dexterity required (bodily/manual), not just the fact that the bells exist materially. However, it is related to the body's interaction with matter.

4. **sense_key=physical%5:00:00:natural:03 | definition=according with material things or natural laws (other than those peculiar to living matter) | examples=a reflex response to physical stimuli**
   * Irrelevant.

5. **sense_key=physical%5:00:00:energetic:00 | definition=characterized by energetic bodily activity | examples=a very physical dance performance**
   * This is close, as ringing bells is energetic activity. However, "dexterity" emphasizes skill and coordination, which is better captured by the general concept of "involving the body" (Sense 1) rather than just "energetic activity."

6. **sense_key=physical%5:00:00:forceful:00 | definition=impelled by physical force especially against resistance | synonyms=forcible, strong-arm | examples=forcible entry; a real cop would get physical**
   * This relates to force, which is present (bells weighing a ton), but "physical dexterity" is about skillful movement, not just brute force or compulsion.

7. **sense_key=physical%5:00:02:material:01 | definition=concerned with material things | examples=physical properties; the physical characteristics of the earth**
   * Similar to Sense 3, focusing on material characteristics, which is too broad.

**Comparison:**
The phrase "physical dexterity" means skill involving the body.
Sense 1: "involving the body as distinguished from the mind or spirit." This perfectly captures the meaning of physical dexterity, contrasting it with mental concentration (which is also mentioned in the sentence).

Sense 3 and 7 relate to materiality, which is a property of the bells, but Sense 1 describes the *action* or *quality* of the dexterity itself.

Sense 1 is the most precise fit for "physical dexterity" in this context.

Context analysis:
"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 physical dexterity -- some <t>bells</t> 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."

The context repeatedly mentions:
1. "Aslacton bells pealing" (pealing is a specific term for ringing bells).
2. "England's church bells are no longer rung on Sundays."
3. "playing tunes on bells" (referring to the act of ringing).
4. "Change-ringing... requires physical dexterity -- some bells weigh more than a ton."
5. "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."

The word "bells" refers to large, heavy, tuned metal objects used in churches for ringing, which are physical instruments.

Candidate sense evaluation:
1. `bell%1:06:00`: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck." (Matches the description of church bells used for ringing).
2. `bell%1:06:02`: "a push button at an outer door..." (Doorbell. Incorrect).
3. `bell%1:11:00`: "the sound of a bell being struck." (The sound, not the physical object. Incorrect, although related to the activity).
4. `bell%1:28:00`: "(nautical) each of the eight half-hour units..." (Nautical time. Incorrect).
5. `bell%1:25:00`: "the shape of a bell." (Shape, not the object itself. Incorrect).
6. `bell%1:18:02`: "a phonetician and father of Alexander Graham Bell..." (Person. Incorrect).
7. `bell%1:18:01`: "English painter; sister of Virginia Woolf..." (Person. Incorrect).
8. `bell%1:18:00`: "United States inventor... of the telephone..." (Person. Incorrect).
9. `bell%1:06:04`: "a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells that are struck with a hammer; used as an orchestral instrument." (This describes a set of tuned bells, like a glockenspiel or chime. While church bells are struck, the context emphasizes the large, heavy, individual bells used in change-ringing, which are often massive and not necessarily struck with a small hammer like a chime. However, this sense is about the physical instrument.)
10. `bell%1:06:03`: "the flared opening of a tubular device." (Part of a bell, not the bell itself. Incorrect).

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 9:
Sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck." (General definition of a bell).
Sense 9: "a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells that are struck with a hammer; used as an orchestral instrument." (Specific type of instrument, often smaller and tuned for musical performance).

The context describes large, heavy church bells ("some bells weigh more than a ton") used in "change-ringing" and "pealing." These are large, functional bells, fitting the general definition of a metal device that rings when struck (Sense 1). While they are technically percussion instruments, Sense 1 is the most accurate and encompassing definition for the physical object described in the context (large, heavy, metal, ringing device). Sense 9 leans towards smaller, tuned instruments (like chimes or glockenspiels), which is less precise for the massive church bells described.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

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

Target word: weigh

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=weigh%2:42:01:: | definition=have a certain weight
2. sense_key=weigh%2:32:00:: | definition=show consideration for; take into account | synonyms=consider, count | examples=You must consider her age; The judge considered the offender's youth and was lenient (Mental/Figurative)

5. sense_key=weigh%2:42:04:: | definition=to be oppressive or burdensome; , | synonyms=press | examples=weigh heavily on the mind; Something pressed on his mind (Figurative burden)

Analysis:
The sentence fragment is: "some bells weigh more than a ton".
"A ton" is a unit of weight.
The bells are objects, and the verb "weigh" is describing a property of these objects relative to a unit of mass.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. sense_key=weigh%2:42:01:: | definition=have a certain weight. This fits perfectly. The bells *have* a certain weight (more than a ton).
2. sense_key=weigh%2:32:00:: (Consideration). Incorrect.
3. sense_key=weigh%2:42:00:: (Determine the weight of). Incorrect. The bells are not being measured; their weight is being stated.
4. sense_key=weigh%2:42:03:: (Have weight; have import). Incorrect. This is figurative importance, not physical mass.
5. sense_key=weigh%2:42:04:: (Oppressive/Burdensome). Incorrect.

Sense 1, "have a certain weight," is the most accurate description of the physical property being conveyed in the context ("more than a ton").

The instruction requires returning only a JSON object with the sense index.
Sense 1 corresponds to index 1.

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

Target word: intense
Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=intense%3:00:00:: | definition=possessing or displaying a distinctive feature to a heightened degree | examples=intense heat; intense anxiety
2. sense_key=intense%5:00:00:sharp:04 | definition=extremely sharp or intense | synonyms=acute | examples=acute pain; felt acute annoyance
3. sense_key=intense%5:00:00:saturated:03 | definition=(of color) having the highest saturation | synonyms=vivid | examples=vivid green; intense blue

Analysis:
The word "intense" modifies "mental concentration."
The context describes change-ringing, which is a difficult, physical, and mental exercise.
"Intense mental concentration" means a very high degree of focus or concentration.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. **sense_key=intense%3:00:00::** Definition: possessing or displaying a distinctive feature to a heightened degree. Examples: intense heat; intense anxiety. This fits perfectly. High degree of concentration is a heightened degree of mental focus.
2. **sense_key=intense%5:00:00:sharp:04** Definition: extremely sharp or intense. Synonyms: acute. This sense usually relates to pain, senses, or angles (e.g., sharp pain, acute angle). While concentration can be sharp, the general meaning of "heightened degree" (Sense 1) is a better fit for describing the *level* of concentration required for a complex task.
3. **sense_key=intense%5:00:00:saturated:03** Definition: (of color) having the highest saturation. This is clearly irrelevant as it relates to color.

Conclusion: Sense 1, which means "possessing or displaying a distinctive feature to a heightened degree," is the best fit for describing the required level of mental concentration.

5. sense_key=mental%5:00:00:unhealthy:00 | definition=affected by a disorder of the mind | examples=a mental patient; mental illness

Analysis:
The word "mental" modifies "concentration". The phrase is "intense mental concentration."
Concentration is a cognitive process, a function of the mind.

Let's evaluate the senses:
1. sense_key=mental%3:00:00: "involving the mind or an intellectual process". This fits well with "concentration."
2. sense_key=mental%3:01:00: "of or relating to the mind". This is a broader definition, but also fits.
3. sense_key=mental%3:01:03: Relates to insect/mollusk structures (chin/lip). Irrelevant.
4. sense_key=mental%3:01:04: Relates to the jaw/chin. Irrelevant.
5. sense_key=mental%5:00:00: Relates to mental illness/disorder. Irrelevant.

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 2:
Sense 1: "involving the mind or an intellectual process" (e.g., mental calculations, mental images).
Sense 2: "of or relating to the mind" (e.g., mental powers, mental development).

"Mental concentration" specifically refers to the act of focusing the mind, which is an intellectual/cognitive process. Sense 1, "involving the mind or an intellectual process," captures this specific cognitive function very accurately. Sense 2 is slightly more general.

Therefore, Sense 1 is the best fit.

Wait, I must return the index number corresponding to the chosen sense.
Sense 1 corresponds to index 1.

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."

Target word: concentration

Analysis of the context:
The sentence describes the requirements for change-ringing. It mentions "physical dexterity" and then links it to "intense mental concentration." The context is about a complex, demanding activity (ringing heavy bells in a specific pattern).

Analysis of candidate senses:
1. sense_key=concentration%1:07:02: Strength of a solution; number of molecules in a given volume (Chemistry/Physics). -> Irrelevant.
2. sense_key=concentration%1:07:03: Spatial property of being crowded together (Density). -> Irrelevant.
3. sense_key=concentration%1:04:01: Strengthening the concentration (of a solute). (Chemistry). -> Irrelevant.
4. sense_key=concentration%1:11:00: Increase in density. (Physics). -> Irrelevant.
5. sense_key=concentration%1:09:00: Complete attention; intense mental effort | synonyms=engrossment, absorption, immersion. -> Highly relevant. "Intense mental concentration" fits perfectly with "complete attention" and "intense mental effort."
6. sense_key=concentration%1:04:02: Bringing together military forces. (Military). -> Irrelevant.
7. sense_key=concentration%1:07:01: Great and constant diligence and attention | synonyms=assiduity, assiduousness. -> Relevant, but sense 5 is a more direct match for "intense mental concentration." Sense 7 implies sustained effort over time (diligence), while sense 5 focuses on the state of focused attention required for the task.

Conclusion: Sense 5, defined as "complete attention; intense mental effort," is the best fit for "intense mental concentration" in the context of a complex physical and mental exercise like change-ringing.

Final check:
Context: "intense mental concentration"
Sense 5: "complete attention; intense mental effort"
Match: Excellent.

Analysis of the context:
The context discusses change-ringing, a specific art form involving church bells.
The text mentions:
1. "is considered by the English to be childish..." (Here, "English" refers to the people/culture of England).
2. "Change-ringing, a mind-boggling exercise the English invented 380 years ago..." (Again, referring to the people/culture).
3. "Proper <t>English</t> bells are started off in 'rounds... " (Here, "English" modifies "bells," referring to the specific tradition or style associated with England).

The target instance is "Proper English bells". This refers to the bells used in the English tradition of change-ringing.

Comparing with senses:
Sense 1: "of or relating to or characteristic of England or its culture or people." This fits perfectly, as it refers to the specific cultural/national tradition of bell ringing in England.
Sense 2: "of or relating to the English language." This is clearly incorrect in this context.

Conclusion: Sense 1 is the best fit.

Context analysis:
"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 physical 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. Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady rhythm of the striking."

Key phrases and clues:
1. "England's church bells are no longer rung on Sundays"
2. "playing tunes on bells, as do the carillons of continental Europe"
3. "Change-ringing... requires physical dexterity -- some bells weigh more than a ton"
4. "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."

The context clearly refers to large, physical bells found in churches, which are rung and change-rung.

Candidate sense evaluation:
1. sense_key=bell%1:06:00:: | definition=a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck. (Matches the physical description of church bells.)
2. sense_key=bell%1:06:02:: | definition=a push button at an outer door... (Doorbell. Incorrect.)
3. sense_key=bell%1:11:00:: | definition=the sound of a bell being struck. (Abstract sound, not the physical object being rung.)
4. sense_key=bell%1:28:00:: | definition=(nautical) each of the eight half-hour units... (Nautical time. Incorrect.)
5. sense_key=bell%1:25:00:: | definition=the shape of a bell. (Shape, not the object itself.)
6. sense_key=bell%1:18:02:: | definition=a phonetician and father of Alexander Graham Bell... (Person. Incorrect.)
7. sense_key=bell%1:18:01:: | definition=English painter... (Person. Incorrect.)
8. sense_key=bell%1:18:00:: | definition=United States inventor... (Person. Incorrect.)
9. sense_key=bell%1:06:04:: | definition=a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells that are struck with a hammer; used as an orchestral instrument. (This describes a set of tuned bells, like a glockenspiel or carillon, but the context focuses on large, heavy church bells used for change-ringing, which are typically struck by ropes/clappers, not hammers, and are part of a larger structure. However, this sense is related to musical bells.)
10. sense_key=bell%1:06:03:: | definition=the flared opening of a tubular device. (Part of a bell, but not the bell itself.)

Comparing Sense 1 and Sense 9:
Sense 1: "a hollow device made of metal that makes a ringing sound when struck." This is the most general and accurate definition for a physical church bell.
Sense 9: "a percussion instrument consisting of a set of tuned bells that are struck with a hammer..." This is more specific to instruments like chimes or glockenspiels. While carillons (mentioned in the text) can be related, the primary focus is on the large, heavy, change-ringing bells of English churches, which fit Sense 1 perfectly.

Sense 1 is the best fit for the physical object described in the context ("church bells," "some bells weigh more than a ton," "ringers begin varying the order").
