2. definition=develop | examples=we worked up an as of an appetite
3. definition=bolster or strengthen | examples=We worked up courage
4. definition=come up with | examples=His colleagues worked out his interesting idea

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the phrasal verb "work up" is used in the given sentence. The output must be only the number.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "When their changes are completed, and after they have <t>worked up</t> a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below."

3.  **Analyze the context of "worked up a sweat":**
    *   "Working up a sweat" is an idiom.
    *   It means to become physically exerted, stressed, or agitated to the point of sweating.
    *   It implies a process of accumulation or development of physical exertion.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **1. definition=form or accumulate steadily | examples=Resistance to the manager's plan built up quickly**
        *   *Relevance:* "Accumulate steadily" fits the idea of physical exertion building up. (e.g., building up sweat).
        *   *Fit:* High.

    *   **2. definition=develop | examples=we worked up an as of an appetite**
        *   *Relevance:* "Develop" fits the idea of the state (sweating/exertion) developing.
        *   *Fit:* High. (Often, "develop" and "accumulate" are closely related in this context).

    *   **3. definition=bolster or strengthen | examples=We worked up courage**
        *   *Relevance:* This relates to emotional or mental strength (courage).
        *   *Fit:* Low (The context is physical sweat).

    *   **4. definition=come up with | examples=His colleagues worked out his interesting idea**
        *   *Relevance:* This relates to generating ideas or solutions.
        *   *Fit:* Low (The context is physical sweat).

5.  **Refine the choice between 1 and 2:**
    *   "Work up a sweat" means the sweat (or the physical state leading to it) *forms* or *develops*.
    *   Sense 1 ("form or accumulate steadily") is a very precise match for the physical process of sweat appearing or exertion building.
    *   Sense 2 ("develop") is also correct, but Sense 1 captures the *process* of the physical state forming, which is the core meaning of the idiom.

6.  **Conclusion:** Both 1 and 2 are plausible, but 1 ("form or accumulate steadily") is the most accurate description of the physical process implied by "working up a sweat."

7.  **Final check:** The idiom "work up a sweat" means to exert oneself until one sweats. This is a process of accumulation/formation of physical effort/sweat. Sense 1 is the best fit.

    *   3. definition=condensation of moisture on a cold surface | examples=the cold glasses were streaked with sweat (Literal condensation. Does not fit the context.)

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** a person who rings church bells (as for summoning the congregation).
        *   *Fit:* People who ring church bells (bell ringers) are often involved in church services/worship. They would complete their duty ("changes are completed"), work ("worked up a sweat" - perhaps from physical effort or the heat of the service), and then leave for a pub. This fits perfectly.

    *   **Sense 2:** a person who is almost identical to another.
        *   *Fit:* No. This is a descriptive comparison, not a group of people leaving a service.

    *   **Sense 3:** a contestant entered in a competition under false pretenses.
        *   *Fit:* No. The context is religious service, not a competition.

    *   **Sense 4:** (horseshoes) the successful throw of a horseshoe or quoit so as to encircle a stake or peg.
        *   *Fit:* No. This is a noun referring to an action/object, not a group of people leaving a service.

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

Sentence: When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers <t>often</t> skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below.

Senses:
1. definition=many times at short intervals | examples=we often met over a cup of coffee
2. definition=frequently or in great quantities | examples=I don't drink much
3. definition=in many cases or instances

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "often" is used in the provided sentence. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers <t>often</t> skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below."

3.  **Analyze the context of "often":** The sentence describes a habitual action (skipping to the pub) performed by "ringers" (people who play instruments in a choir/group) after a specific event (completing changes and working up a sweat). This suggests a regular occurrence.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=many times at short intervals | examples=we often met over a cup of coffee. (This implies high frequency/repetition over a short period or general habit.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=frequently or in great quantities | examples=I don't drink much. (The example "I don't drink much" suggests quantity, which is a less common usage for "often," but the definition includes "frequently." However, the example is weak for frequency.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=in many cases or instances. (This implies probability or typicality, not necessarily high frequency, but rather that it happens sometimes/many times out of the total possibilities.)

5.  **Match the usage to the senses:**
    *   The action ("skip off to the local pub") is a regular, repeated behavior of the ringers.
    *   Sense 1 ("many times at short intervals" / general habit) fits the idea of a regular, repeated action perfectly.
    *   Sense 2 ("frequently") is also a possibility, but Sense 1 captures the idea of repeated occurrence better than the quantity focus of Sense 2.
    *   Sense 3 ("in many cases") is too weak; the sentence implies a strong habit, not just a possibility.

6.  **Conclusion:** The usage "ringers often skip off..." refers to a regular, repeated habit. This aligns best with Sense 1.

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

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, <t>leaving</t> worship for others below."
2.  **Identify the target word and its form:** The word is "leaving," which is a present participle derived from the verb "leave."
3.  **Determine the meaning of "leaving" in context:** The action of "leaving worship for others below" means they are abandoning, skipping, or foregoing the act of worship in order to go to the pub.
4.  **Examine the provided senses of "leave":**

    *   1. go away from a place (e.g., train leave) - *Not applicable (they are leaving worship, not a physical place in this specific sense).*
    *   2. go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness (e.g., She left a mess) - *This fits. They are intentionally leaving/abandoning the worship.*
    *   3. act or be so as to become in a specified state (e.g., inflation left them penniless) - *Not applicable.*
    *   4. leave unchanged or undisturbed or refrain from taking (e.g., leave it as is) - *This is about refraining, but the context is actively abandoning/skipping.*
    *   5. move out of or depart from (e.g., leave the room) - *This is physical departure, but the object is "worship," which is an activity/state.*
    *   6. make a possibility or provide opportunity for; permit to be attainable or cause to remain (e.g., This leaves no room) - *Not applicable.*
    *   7. have as a result or residue (e.g., water left a mark) - *Not applicable.*
    *   8. remove oneself from an association with or participation in (e.g., She wants to leave) - *This is a very strong match. They are removing themselves from the participation of worship.*
    *   9. put into the care or protection of someone (e.g., He left the decision) - *Not applicable.*
    *   10. leave or give by will after one's death (e.g., My aunt bequeathed) - *Not applicable.*
    *   11. have left or have as a remainder (e.g., That left the four of us) - *Not applicable.*

    *   14. leave behind unintentionally (e.g., I forgot my umbrella) - *Not applicable.*

5.  **Compare the best matches (2 and 8):**
    *   Sense 2: "go and leave behind, either intentionally or by neglect or forgetfulness." (Focuses on the object being abandoned.)
    *   Sense 8: "remove oneself from an association with or participation in." (Focuses on the action of withdrawal from an activity.)

    In the context of "leaving worship," the ringers are actively choosing to withdraw from the activity (worship) to go to the pub. Sense 8 captures this concept of withdrawal from participation most accurately. Sense 2 is also plausible, but Sense 8 is more precise for abandoning an activity or association.

6.  **Final Selection:** Sense 8.

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

Sentence: When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving <t>worship</t> for others below.

Senses:
1. definition=the activity of worshipping
2. definition=a feeling of profound love and admiration

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the Request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "worship" (marked with `<t>worship</t>`) is used in the provided sentence. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the Sentence:** "When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving <t>worship</t> for others below."

3.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   "Ringers" (people who participate in a specific activity, likely a competition or performance).
    *   "Worked up a sweat" (physical exertion).
    *   "Skip off to the local pub" (a reward/post-activity behavior).
    *   "leaving [worship] for others below."

4.  **Determine the Meaning of "worship" in Context:**
    *   The ringers are leaving something *for* others below.
    *   If they are leaving "worship," it suggests they are leaving the *act* or *performance* of worship, or perhaps a feeling of reverence/admiration that they are giving up or passing on.
    *   However, the phrase "leaving [X] for others below" strongly suggests that [X] is a *thing*, a *state*, or a *concept* that is being transferred or abandoned.

5.  **Evaluate the Senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the activity of worshipping (The act itself).
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=a feeling of profound love and admiration (The emotion).

6.  **Re-evaluate the Context with the Senses:**
    *   If they are leaving *the activity* (Sense 1), the sentence structure is awkward. They are leaving the *act* of worship for others.
    *   If they are leaving *a feeling of profound love and admiration* (Sense 2), this fits better. They are leaving their admiration/reverence (perhaps for the event, the audience, or the activity itself) for the people below.

7.  **Check for Alternative Meanings (Idiomatic/Slang):** In certain contexts (especially related to performance or competition), "worship" can be used metaphorically to mean "attention," "admiration," or "the spotlight."
    *   "Leaving worship for others below" = "Giving the spotlight/admiration to others."

8.  **Conclusion:** The usage is metaphorical, referring to the *feeling* or *attention* given to the performance/event, which aligns with Sense 2 (a feeling of profound love and admiration).

Sentence: 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 <t>below</t>.

Senses:

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "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 <t>below</t>."

3.  **Analyze the context of "below":**
    *   "Ringers" (people who play extra instruments in church/choir).
    *   They go to the pub.
    *   They leave the worship service for "others below."
    *   In this context, "others below" refers to people who are participating in the worship service (or are scheduled to) *later* in the sequence of events, or perhaps people who are in a different group/location that is addressed later in the schedule.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **1. definition=in or to a place that is lower:** (Physical location, e.g., "The basement is below.") Does not fit. The context is temporal/sequential, not physical height.
    *   **2. definition=at a later place | examples=see below:** (Temporal/Sequential reference, e.g., "See the details below.") This fits the idea of "leaving worship for others [who are next/later]."
    *   **3. definition=(in writing) see below | examples=vide infra:** (Formal written reference.) While related to sense 2, the sentence structure ("leaving worship for others below") suggests a temporal or sequential group, not just a reference marker like "vide infra."
    *   **4. definition=on a floor below | examples=the tenants live downstairs:** (Physical location, specific to floors.) Does not fit.
    *   **5. definition=further down | examples=see under for further discussion:** (Directional/Sequential, often used for text/lists.) This is close to sense 2, but sense 2 ("at a later place") captures the temporal/sequential nature of the group of people better than the purely directional "further down."

5.  **Determine the best fit:** The phrase "leaving worship for others below" means they are leaving the service for the people who are scheduled to participate *later* or who are the next group. This is a temporal/sequential reference. Sense 2, "at a later place," is the most accurate fit for this meaning.

6.  **Final check:** The ringers are leaving the current event for the next group of participants. This is a temporal/sequential shift. Sense 2 is correct.

7.  **Format the output:** Return only the number.

reasoning_content:

2.  **Analyze the phrase:** "sit well with."
3.  **Determine the meaning of "sit well" in this context:** When something "sits well" or "does not sit well" with a group of people, it means it is not accepted, it is disapproved of, or it is not favorably received.
4.  **Examine the provided senses of "well":**
    *   1. good/satisfactory manner (e.g., behaved well) - *Doesn't fit the disapproval context.*

    *   3. high probability (e.g., might well do it) - *Doesn't fit.*
    *   4. entirely/fully (e.g., well worth reading) - *Doesn't fit.*
    *   5. suitable/appropriate extent (e.g., well underway) - *Doesn't fit.*
    *   6. favorably; with approval (e.g., neighbors spoke well of them) - *This relates to acceptance/approval. If it "does not sit well," it means it is not favorably received.*
    *   7. great extent/degree (e.g., well over budget) - *Doesn't fit.*

    *   13. without distress/resentment (e.g., took the joke well) - *This relates to emotional reception, which is close, but Sense 6 is more direct regarding social/opinion acceptance.*

5.  **Compare the context ("does not sit well") with the best fit:**
    *   "Does not sit well" means "is not approved of" or "is not favorably received."
    *   Sense 6: "favorably; with approval." The negation ("does not sit well") directly relates to the lack of favor or approval.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 6 is the correct fit.

    *   Sense 2: "force or impel in an indicated direction" (Fits the idea of urging them to attend).
    *   Sense 14: "ask for or request earnestly" (Also fits the idea of insisting/urging).
    *   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" (This is often used when advocating for a political or social change, which fits the idea of the vicar trying to save the church/increase attendance).

6.  **Refine the choice (2, 9, or 14):**
    *   "Pressing someone to attend services" is a strong form of urging or advocating for their participation.
    *   Sense 14 ("ask for or request earnestly") is the most direct fit for the action of trying to get someone to do something.
    *   Sense 2 ("force or impel in an indicated direction") is also very strong.
    *   Sense 9 implies a more sustained, vigorous campaign (like a political push), which might be too strong, but it captures the persuasive, forceful nature of the action.

7.  **Select the best fit:** In the context of social/religious persuasion, "pressing" means strongly urging or advocating. Both 2 and 14 work well. However, Sense 14 ("ask for or request earnestly") is the most common and precise definition for this type of interpersonal persuasion. Sense 2 is slightly more about physical or directional compulsion.

8.  **Final check:** "Vicars are pressing ringers to attend services" = Vicars are earnestly asking/urging ringers to attend. This aligns perfectly with Sense 14. (If 14 were not available, 2 would be the next best choice).

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing <t>equally</t> strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services."

    *   "Equally" is modifying the degree of "strong-willed" when applied to the two groups of ringers (the strong-willed ones and the non-religious ones).
    *   It means that the degree of "strong-willedness" is the same for both groups, or that the vicars are pressing them with the same intensity/degree of insistence.

4.  **Analyze the senses:**
    *   Sense 1: definition=to the same degree (often followed by `as') | examples=they were equally beautiful
    *   Sense 2: definition=in equal amounts or shares; in a balanced or impartial way | examples=a class evenly divided between girls and boys

Senses:

3. definition=in many cases or instances

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of "often" is used in the provided sentence. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze 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 context of "often":** "Often" modifies "non-religious ringers." It describes the *type* or *frequency* of these ringers in relation to the overall group or situation (the dwindling membership).

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=many times at short intervals | examples=we often met over a cup of coffee. (Focuses on repeated actions/events.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=frequently or in great quantities | examples=I don't drink much. (Focuses on high frequency or large amounts.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=in many cases or instances. (Focuses on probability or typicality within a set of examples/situations.)

5.  **Apply the senses to the sentence:**
    *   The sentence is talking about the *nature* of the ringers. Are they *frequently* non-religious? Or are they *in many cases* (i.e., a large proportion of the ringers are non-religious)?
    *   If we interpret it as "frequently," it suggests the ringers are non-religious *at times*, which doesn't fit the context of describing the composition of the group.
    *   If we interpret it as "in many cases or instances," it means that among the ringers being pressed, a significant proportion (many cases/instances) are non-religious. This fits the context of a dwindling, traditional membership base.

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 3 ("in many cases or instances") is the most appropriate fit, indicating that the group of ringers being targeted includes a large number of non-religious people.

7.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 3.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "ringers" (in the provided sentence) is being used. The output must be *only* the number.

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious <t>ringers</t> to attend services."

3.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   Setting: Church of England, vicars, attending services.
    *   Action: Vicars are pressing certain people ("ringers") to attend services.
    *   Description of "ringers": "equally strong-willed and often non-religious."

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** a person who rings church bells (as for summoning the congregation).
        *   *Fit?* While related to the church, the context describes people who are *non-religious* and are being *pressured* to attend. If they were bell ringers, the description wouldn't necessarily fit the pressure/attendance context as well as other senses. (Possible, but weak).

    *   **Sense 2:** a person who is almost identical to another.
        *   *Fit?* This is a synonym for "lookalike" or "doppelgänger." It doesn't fit the context of people being pressured to attend church services. (No).

    *   **Sense 3:** a contestant entered in a competition under false pretenses.
        *   *Fit?* This is the definition of a "ringer" in competitive contexts (e.g., sports, elections). The context is religious attendance, not competition. (No).

    *   **Sense 4:** (horseshoes) the successful throw of a horseshoe or quoit so as to encircle a stake or peg.
        *   *Fit?* This is a noun referring to an action/object, not a person. The sentence uses "ringers" as a plural noun referring to people. (No).

5.  **Re-evaluate the context and senses (Crucial step):**
    *   The word "ringer" in modern, informal English often means a substitute, a stand-in, or someone who is not genuinely part of the group (a fake member, a placeholder).
    *   The sentence describes people who are "equally strong-willed and often non-religious" and are being pressured to attend services. They are likely being used as substitutes or forced attendees to boost attendance numbers.
    *   Let's look closely at Sense 1 again: "a person who rings church bells." While this is the literal definition, the usage in the sentence ("pressing... ringers to attend services") strongly suggests a figurative meaning related to *substituting* or *filling a role*.

6.  **Check for alternative meanings/slang:** In the context of attendance/membership, "ringer" often means a fake or a substitute member.

7.  **Re-examine the provided senses against the likely meaning (substitute/fake attendee):** None of the provided senses perfectly capture the meaning of "substitute attendee."

    *   Sense 1: Bell ringer (Literal, but doesn't fit the "fake/substitute" implication).
    *   Sense 2: Lookalike (Irrelevant).
    *   Sense 3: Contestant under false pretenses (Closest to "fake," but the context is wrong).
    *   Sense 4: Horseshoe throw (Irrelevant).

8.  **Assumption Check:** If the provided senses are the *only* options, I must choose the best fit, even if the usage is highly idiomatic or slightly stretched.

    *   If the vicars are trying to boost attendance, they are looking for people who will *perform the role* of a genuine attendee.
    *   Sense 1 (Bell ringer) is the only sense directly related to the *function* of the church/service. While the figurative meaning is "substitute," the literal sense of "church person" is the closest link.

9.  **Final Conclusion based on constraints:** Given the options, and the setting (Church of England, services), Sense 1 is the only one that places the word in a relevant ecclesiastical context, even if the modern figurative meaning of "ringer" (substitute) is not explicitly covered by the definition. The other senses (lookalike, competition, horseshoe) are completely unrelated to the setting.

10. **Select the number:** 1.

Sentence: Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, <t>vicar</t> 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.

Senses:

3. definition=(Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to know which numbered sense of the word "vicar" is used in the provided sentence. The output must be *only* the number.

3.  **Determine the context:**
    *   "Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone" indicates he is a clergyman.
    *   "vicar of Great Torrington, Devon" places him in a specific parish/location.
    *   The context involves managing a band ("ringers") associated with a church service.
    *   The setting (Devon, UK) strongly suggests the Church of England (Anglican tradition).

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** "a Roman Catholic priest who acts for another higher-ranking clergyman." (While a vicar can be Catholic, the context doesn't specify this, and the general usage in the UK often refers to the Anglican context unless specified.)
    *   **Sense 2:** "(Episcopal Church) a clergyman in charge of a chapel." (This is too narrow; he is the vicar *of a parish* (Great Torrington), not just a chapel.)
    *   **Sense 3:** "(Church of England) a clergyman appointed to act as priest of a parish." (This perfectly matches the role of a parish priest in the Anglican tradition, which is the most common context for a "vicar of [town name]" in Devon.)

10. definition=in truth (often tends to intensify) | examples=they said the car would break down and indeed it did

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone... got <t>so</t> fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band..."
2.  **Identify the function of 'so':** 'So' is modifying the adjective phrase "fed up." It is intensifying the degree of being "fed up."
3.  **Examine the structure:** "got so fed up." This structure typically indicates a high degree or extent of the state described by the adjective.
4.  **Review the senses provided:**
    *   1. definition=to a very great extent or degree | examples=the idea is so obvious (Matches the function of intensifying an adjective/adverb.)
    *   2. definition=in a manner that facilitates (Incorrect context.)
    *   3. definition=in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied (Usually used predicatively, e.g., "remain so.")
    *   4. definition=to a certain unspecified extent or degree (Usually used with limits, e.g., "go so far.")
    *   5. definition=in the same way; also (Conjunction, e.g., "and so was he.")
    *   6. definition=in the way indicated (Adverbial modifier, e.g., "hold the brush so.")
    *   7. definition=(usually followed by `that') to an extent or degree as expressed | examples=he was so tired he could hardly stand (This is the *result* clause structure, but the core meaning is "to an extent or degree.")
    *   8. definition=subsequently or soon afterward (Temporal connector.)
    *   9. definition=(used to introduce a logical conclusion) from that fact or reason or as a result (Causal connector.)
    *   10. definition=in truth (Intensifier, but usually used differently, e.g., "so, they said.")
5.  **Compare the usage ("so fed up") with the best fit senses:**
    *   Sense 1: "to a very great extent or degree." This perfectly captures the meaning of "so fed up."
    *   Sense 7: "to an extent or degree as expressed." While technically correct, Sense 1 is a more direct and general fit for the intensifier function of 'so' before an adjective, especially when the resulting clause (the 'that' clause) is omitted or implied (as it is here: *so fed up that he sacked the band*).

6.  **Select the most appropriate sense:** Sense 1 is the clearest definition for 'so' used as an intensifier before an adjective to mean "to a very great extent or degree."

7.  **Final check:** "so fed up" = "very fed up" = "to a very great extent." (Sense 1).

2.  **Analyze the sentence:** "Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone... got so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band; the ringers <t>promptly</t> set up a picket line in protest."

3.  **Analyze the context of "promptly":**
    *   The ringers were sacked (a negative event/action taken against them).
    *   The ringers' reaction was setting up a picket line.
    *   The word "promptly" describes *how* they set up the picket line in response to the sacking.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=with little or no delay | examples=the rescue squad arrived promptly. (Focuses on speed/lack of delay.)

5.  **Determine the best fit:**
    *   Did they set up the picket line *on time* (Sense 2)? Not necessarily.
    *   Did they set up the picket line *with little delay* (Sense 1)? This is plausible, but Sense 3 captures the *reaction* aspect better.
    *   Did they set up the picket line *immediately* (Sense 3)? Yes. The sacking (undesirable occurrence) led to an immediate, swift reaction (setting up the picket line).

6.  **Refine the choice (Sense 1 vs. Sense 3):**
    *   While "promptly" can mean "quickly" (Sense 1), when used to describe a reaction to a negative event (like being sacked), it strongly implies immediate, swift action *in response* to the stimulus. Sense 3 specifically captures this immediate, reactive nature ("at once (usually modifies an undesirable occurrence)").

    *   **Sense 2:** "the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent" (Example: *[No example provided, but the definition fits the action]*). Setting up a picket line is a classic example of a public, organized manifestation of dissent.
    *   **Sense 3:** "the act of making a strong public expression of disagreement and disapproval" (Example: *he shouted his protests at the umpire*). While a picket line is an expression of disagreement, Sense 2 specifically captures the *organized, public manifestation* aspect inherent in "setting up a picket line."

5.  **Determine the best fit:** The phrase "set up a picket line in protest" means they were demonstrating their disagreement publicly and organizedly. This aligns perfectly with Sense 2: "the act of protesting; a public (often organized) manifestation of dissent."

6.  **Final Answer Formulation:** The correct number is 2. (Ensure the output is *only* the number).

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=a structure taller than its diameter; can stand alone or be attached to a larger building
2. definition=anything that approximates the shape of a column or tower | examples=the test tube held a column of white powder
3. definition=a powerful small boat designed to pull or push larger ships

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "tower" is used in the given sentence. The output must be *only* the number.

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

3.  **Analyze the context of "tower":** The word "tower" is being treated as a "separate premises." "Premises" refers to a building or property.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** "a structure taller than its diameter; can stand alone or be attached to a larger building." (This is a physical building/structure.)
    *   **Sense 2:** "anything that approximates the shape of a column or tower | examples=the test tube held a column of white powder." (This is a shape/form, not typically a "premises.")
    *   **Sense 3:** "a powerful small boat designed to pull or push larger ships." (This is a type of boat, which does not fit the context of "premises.")

5.  **Match the context to the sense:** Since "tower" is being treated as a "separate premises" (a building/location), Sense 1 (a physical structure) is the correct meaning.

6.  **Formulate the final answer:** The correct number is 1.

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

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

Senses:
1. definition=a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality | examples=sculpture is a form of art
2. definition=an approximate definition or example | examples=she wore a sort of magenta dress
3. definition=a person of a particular character or nature | examples=what sort of person is he?
4. definition=an operation that segregates items into groups according to a specified criterion | examples=the bottleneck in mail delivery is the process of sorting

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the request:** The user wants to identify which numbered sense of the word "sort" is used in the given sentence. The output must be only the number.

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

3.  **Analyze the usage of "sort":** The phrase is "sort of a separate premises." This structure ("sort of X") is used to introduce an approximation, a type, or a general idea, rather than a precise definition or a formal category.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** "a category of things distinguished by some common characteristic or quality." (e.g., *form of art*). While "sort of" relates to categorization, the specific structure "sort of a [noun]" usually implies approximation, not strict categorization.
    *   **Sense 2:** "an approximate definition or example." (e.g., *she wore a sort of magenta dress*). This perfectly matches the function of "sort of" in the sentence ("sort of a separate premises" means *kind of* or *approximately* a separate premises).
    *   **Sense 3:** "a person of a particular character or nature." (e.g., *what sort of person is he?*). This is clearly incorrect.
    *   **Sense 4:** "an operation that segregates items into groups according to a specified criterion." (e.g., *the process of sorting*). This is clearly incorrect.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 2 is the correct fit.

6.  **Format the output:** Return only the number.
