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

Context: 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 <t>sound</t> without altering the steady rhythm of the striking. Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the rules state.

Senses:
1. definition=appear in a certain way | examples=This sounds interesting
2. definition=make a certain noise or sound | synonyms=go | examples=She went `Mmmmm'; The gun went `bang'
3. definition=give off a certain sound or sounds | examples=This record sounds scratchy
4. definition=announce by means of a sound | examples=sound the alarm
5. definition=utter with vibrating vocal chords | synonyms=voice, vocalize, vocalise
6. definition=cause to sound | examples=sound the bell; sound a certain note
7. definition=measure the depth of (a body of water) with a sounding line | synonyms=fathom

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells <t>sound</t> without altering the steady rhythm of the striking."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "sound" in this context:** The bells are being rung (struck). The action of the bells "sounding" refers to the noise they produce when struck.
3.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   1. definition=appear in a certain way | examples=This sounds interesting (Perception/Appearance)
    *   2. definition=make a certain noise or sound | synonyms=go | examples=She went `Mmmmm'; The gun went `bang' (Action of producing noise)
    *   3. definition=give off a certain sound or sounds | examples=This record sounds scratchy (Emission/Quality of sound)
    *   4. definition=announce by means of a sound | examples=sound the alarm (To signal/Notify)
    *   5. definition=utter with vibrating vocal chords | synonyms=voice, vocalize, vocalise (Speech/Vocalization)
    *   6. definition=cause to sound | examples=sound the bell; sound a certain note (Causation/To make noise)
    *   7. definition=measure the depth of (a body of water) with a sounding line | synonyms=fathom (Measurement)
4.  **Match the meaning to the senses:**
    *   The bells are *making* noise when they are rung.
    *   Sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound." This fits perfectly. (The bells *make* a sound.)
    *   Sense 3: "give off a certain sound or sounds." This is also plausible, but Sense 2 focuses on the active production of the noise, which is what the ringers are causing.
    *   Sense 6: "cause to sound." This is the causative sense (e.g., "The ringers *sound* the bells"). In the given sentence, the bells themselves are the subject performing the action of sounding ("the bells sound").

5.  **Refine the choice between 2 and 3:**
    *   Context: "...the bells sound..." (The bells are the source/agent of the noise.)
    *   Sense 2: "make a certain noise or sound." (The bells *make* the noise.)
    *   Sense 3: "give off a certain sound or sounds." (The bells *give off* the sound.)
    *   Both 2 and 3 are very close. However, Sense 2, with its examples ("The gun went 'bang'"), emphasizes the *act* of noise production, which is the most direct interpretation of bells being rung. Sense 3 often implies a continuous emission or quality (like a record sounding scratchy). Since the bells are actively producing the noise as part of the change-ringing process, Sense 2 is the most accurate fit for the action described.

6.  **Final check:** The bells are producing noise. Sense 2 is "make a certain noise or sound." This is the correct sense.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without <t>altering</t> the steady rhythm of the striking."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "altering" in this context:** The ringers are changing the *order* of the bells (varying the order), but they must do this *without changing* the steady rhythm. Therefore, "altering" here means changing or modifying something (the order/sound sequence) while maintaining a specific characteristic (the rhythm).
3.  **Examine the senses provided:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=cause to change; make different; cause a transformation | synonyms=change, modify | examples=The advent of the automobile may have altered the growth pattern of the city; The discussion has changed my thinking about the issue. (This fits the idea of changing/modifying something.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=become different in some particular way, without permanently losing one's or its former characteristics or essence | synonyms=change, vary | examples=her mood changes in accordance with the weather; The supermarket's selection of vegetables varies according to the season. (This usually describes a state of becoming different, not an action performed on an object/process.)
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=make an alteration to | examples=This dress needs to be altered. (This is a specific type of change, often physical modification, like tailoring. While related, Sense 1 is broader and fits the action of changing the sequence/order.)
    *   **Sense 4:** definition=insert words into texts, often falsifying it thereby | synonyms=interpolate, falsify. (Irrelevant.)
    *   **Sense 5:** definition=remove the ovaries of | synonyms=neuter, spay, castrate. (Irrelevant.)
4.  **Compare the context meaning to the best fit:** The ringers are actively *changing* the order of the bells. This is an action of modification or transformation. Sense 1 ("cause to change; make different; cause a transformation") is the most accurate and comprehensive fit for the action described.
5.  **Select the corresponding number:** Sense 1.

Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the rules state.

Senses:
1. definition=not subject to change or variation especially in behavior | examples=a steady beat; a steady job
2. definition=not liable to fluctuate or especially to fall | synonyms=firm, unfluctuating | examples=stocks are still firm
3. definition=securely in position; not shaky | examples=held the ladder steady

5. definition=relating to a person who does something regularly | synonyms=regular | examples=a regular customer; a steady drinker
6. definition=not easily excited or upset | examples=steady nerves

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The word is "steady" and it modifies "rhythm." The phrase is "without altering the steady rhythm of the striking."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "steady" in this specific context:** A rhythm that is "steady" means it maintains a consistent, unchanging pace or beat.

3.  **Examine the provided senses:**
    *   1. definition=not subject to change or variation especially in behavior | examples=a steady beat; a steady job
    *   2. definition=not liable to fluctuate or especially to fall | synonyms=firm, unfluctuating | examples=stocks are still firm
    *   3. definition=securely in position; not shaky | examples=held the ladder steady

    *   6. definition=not easily excited or upset | examples=steady nerves

4.  **Match the context meaning to the senses:**
    *   "Steady rhythm" means the rhythm is consistent and does not vary or fluctuate.
    *   Sense 1: "not subject to change or variation especially in behavior" and the example "a steady beat" perfectly match the required meaning.
    *   Sense 2: Relates to stability (stocks), which is related but less precise than Sense 1 for a *rhythm*.
    *   Sense 3: Relates to physical stability (ladder). Incorrect.
    *   Sense 4: Relates to mental resolve/determination. Incorrect.
    *   Sense 5: Relates to frequency (regularity). While a steady rhythm is regular, Sense 1 captures the *consistency* of the beat itself, which is the primary meaning here.
    *   Sense 6: Relates to temperament. Incorrect.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct fit.

Senses:
1. definition=the basic rhythmic unit in a piece of music | synonyms=beat, musical rhythm | examples=the piece has a fast rhythm; the conductor set the beat
2. definition=recurring at regular intervals | synonyms=regular recurrence
3. definition=an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs | synonyms=cycle, round | examples=the never-ending cycle of the seasons
4. definition=the arrangement of spoken words alternating stressed and unstressed elements | synonyms=speech rhythm | examples=the rhythm of Frost's poetry

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

2.  **Analyze the Context:**
    *   The context discusses "change-ringing" of church bells.
    *   The specific phrase is: "...the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady <t>rhythm</t> of the striking."
    *   The action involves bells striking (making sound) in a specific, steady pattern.

3.  **Analyze the Target Word in Context:** "steady rhythm of the striking." This refers to the consistent, underlying timing or beat of the bells as they are struck.

4.  **Evaluate the Senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the basic rhythmic unit in a piece of music | synonyms=beat, musical rhythm | examples=the piece has a fast rhythm; the conductor set the beat.
        *   *Match?* Yes. The striking of bells is a musical/percussive event, and "steady rhythm" refers to the consistent beat or tempo.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=recurring at regular intervals | synonyms=regular recurrence | examples=the never-ending cycle of the seasons.
        *   *Match?* Possible, but too broad. While the striking is regular, Sense 1 is more precise for the *sound* and *timing* of the striking itself.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=an interval during which a recurring sequence of events occurs | synonyms=cycle, round | examples=the never-ending cycle of the seasons.
        *   *Match?* No. This refers to a complete cycle (like a season or a specific pattern), not the continuous, steady beat.

    *   **Sense 4:** definition=the arrangement of spoken words alternating stressed and unstressed elements | synonyms=speech rhythm | examples=the rhythm of Frost's poetry.
        *   *Match?* No. The context is about bells, not speech.

    *   **Sense 5:** definition=natural family planning... | synonyms=rhythm method of birth control...
        *   *Match?* No. This is a completely unrelated, specialized definition.

5.  **Conclusion:** The phrase "steady rhythm of the striking" refers to the consistent beat or tempo of the bells, which aligns perfectly with Sense 1 (musical rhythm/beat).

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

Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the rules state.

Senses:
1. definition=the physical coming together of two or more things | synonyms=contact, impinging | examples=contact with the pier scraped paint from the hull
2. definition=the act of contacting one thing with another | synonyms=hit, hitting | examples=repeated hitting raised a large bruise; after three misses she finally got a hit

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

2.  **Analyze the context:**
    *   The context discusses "change-ringing" of church bells.
    *   The specific phrase is: "...without altering the steady rhythm of the `<t>striking</t>`."
    *   In this context, "striking" refers to the action of the bells making sound, specifically the rhythmic sound produced by the bells being rung.

3.  **Analyze the senses provided:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=the physical coming together of two or more things | synonyms=contact, impinging | examples=contact with the pier scraped paint from the hull. (Focuses on static contact/collision.)
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=the act of contacting one thing with another | synonyms=hit, hitting | examples=repeated hitting raised a large bruise; after three misses she finally got a hit. (Focuses on the dynamic action of hitting/making contact.)

4.  **Determine the correct sense:**
    *   When bells are "striking," they are actively being hit (or allowed to swing and hit) to produce sound. This is a dynamic action.
    *   Sense 2, which defines "striking" as "the act of contacting one thing with another" (synonyms: hit, hitting), perfectly matches the action of bells being rung.
    *   Sense 1 is too general and focuses on the state of contact, not the action of producing sound through impact.

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

Context: 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. Each <t>variation</t>, or change, can occur only once, the rules state. Ringers memorize patterns of changes, known as "methods, "which have odd-sounding names like Kent Treble Bob Major or Grandsire Caters.

Senses:
1. definition=an instance of change; the rate or magnitude of change | synonyms=fluctuation
2. definition=an activity that varies from a norm or standard | synonyms=variance | examples=any variation in his routine was immediately reported
3. definition=a repetition of a musical theme in which it is modified or embellished
4. definition=something a little different from others of the same type | synonyms=version, variant, edition | examples=an experimental version of the night fighter; a variant of the same word
5. definition=an artifact that deviates from a norm or standard | examples=he patented a variation on the sandal
6. definition=the angle (at a particular location) between magnetic north and true north | synonyms=magnetic declination, magnetic variation
7. definition=the process of varying or being varied
8. definition=(astronomy) any perturbation of the mean motion or orbit of a planet or satellite (especially a perturbation of the earth's moon)
9. definition=(biology) an organism that has characteristics resulting from chromosomal alteration | synonyms=mutant, mutation, sport
10. definition=(ballet) a solo dance or dance figure | synonyms=pas seul
11. definition=the act of changing or altering something slightly but noticeably from the norm or standard | examples=who is responsible for these variations in taxation?

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The text describes "change-ringing," a complex musical activity involving bells. The key sentence is: "Then, at a signal, the ringers begin varying the order in which the bells sound without altering the steady rhythm of the striking. Each <t>variation</t>, or change, can occur only once, the rules state."

2.  **Determine the meaning of "variation" in this context:**
    *   The ringers are changing the *order* of the bells.
    *   This change is a specific, discrete event ("Each variation... can occur only once").
    *   The text explicitly equates "variation" with "change."

3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**

    *   1. definition=an instance of change; the rate or magnitude of change | synonyms=fluctuation. (Fits the idea of a specific instance of change.)
    *   2. definition=an activity that varies from a norm or standard | synonyms=variance. (Too broad; the variation *is* the change, not just an activity.)
    *   3. definition=a repetition of a musical theme in which it is modified or embellished. (This is related to music, but the context describes changing the *order* of bells, not modifying a theme.)
    *   4. definition=something a little different from others of the same type | synonyms=version, variant, edition. (This suggests a different *type* or *edition*, not a specific, sequential change in the performance.)
    *   5. definition=an artifact that deviates from a norm or standard. (Too specific and usually refers to physical objects or data.)
    *   6. definition=the angle (at a particular location) between magnetic north and true north. (Irrelevant.)
    *   7. definition=the process of varying or being varied. (The context refers to a discrete *event* ("Each variation"), not the continuous *process*.)
    *   8. definition=(astronomy) any perturbation of the mean motion or orbit of a planet or satellite. (Irrelevant.)
    *   9. definition=(biology) an organism that has characteristics resulting from chromosomal alteration. (Irrelevant.)
    *   10. definition=(ballet) a solo dance or dance figure. (Irrelevant.)
    *   11. definition=the act of changing or altering something slightly but noticeably from the norm or standard. (This describes the *act* or *process* of changing, but Sense 1 focuses on the discrete *instance* of change, which aligns better with "Each variation... can occur only once.")

4.  **Compare the best candidates (1 and 11):**
    *   Sense 1: "an instance of change." (The ringers perform a specific, countable change.)
    *   Sense 11: "the act of changing or altering something slightly but noticeably from the norm or standard." (This emphasizes the *action*.)

    Since the text says, "Each <t>variation</t>, or change, can occur only once," it treats the variation as a countable, discrete *instance* or *event* of change. Sense 1 ("an instance of change") is the most precise fit for this usage.

5.  **Final Selection:** Sense 1.

2. definition=come to one's mind; suggest itself | synonyms=come | examples=It occurred to me that we should hire another secretary; A great idea then came to her
3. definition=to be found to exist | examples=sexism occurs in many workplaces; precious stones occur in a large area in Brazil

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

2.  **Analyze the context sentence:** "Each variation, or change, can <t>occur</t> only once, the rules state."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "occur" in this context:**
    *   The context is about change-ringing, where variations (changes) are made to the order of bells.
    *   The sentence states that each variation/change can happen only once.
    *   Therefore, "occur" means "to happen" or "to take place."

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=come to pass | synonyms=happen, hap, go on, pass off, pass, fall out | examples=What is happening?; The meeting took place off without an incidence.
        *   *Match?* Yes. "To happen" or "come to pass" perfectly matches the meaning of a variation/change happening only once.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=come to one's mind; suggest itself | synonyms=come | examples=It occurred to me that we should hire another secretary; A great idea then came to her.
        *   *Match?* No. The variation is a physical/structural event, not a thought.

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=to be found to exist | examples=sexism occurs in many workplaces; precious stones occur in a large area in Brazil.
        *   *Match?* Possible, but less precise than Sense 1. While a variation *exists*, the sentence emphasizes the *event* of it happening ("can occur only once"). Sense 1 (come to pass/happen) is the most direct fit for the temporal constraint ("only once").

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 1 is the correct meaning.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The phrase is "Each variation, or change, can occur <t>only</t> once, the rules state."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "only" in this specific sentence:** The sentence means that the occurrence of a variation/change is restricted to a single instance; no more than one time is allowed.
3.  **Examine the senses provided:**

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

Context: 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. Each variation, or change, can occur only <t>once</t>, the rules state. Ringers memorize patterns of changes, known as "methods, "which have odd-sounding names like Kent Treble Bob Major or Grandsire Caters.

Senses:
1. definition=on one occasion | synonyms=one time, in one case | examples=once I ran into her
2. definition=as soon as | examples=once we are home, we can rest
3. definition=at a previous time | synonyms=formerly, at one time, erstwhile, erst | examples=at one time he loved her; her erstwhile writing

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Each variation, or change, can occur only <t>once</t>, the rules state."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "once" in this specific context:** The rules state that a specific variation (a change in the order of bells) can happen only a single time during the performance/sequence.
3.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**
    *   **Sense 1:** definition=on one occasion | synonyms=one time, in one case | examples=once I ran into her. (This means "only one time.")
    *   **Sense 2:** definition=as soon as | examples=once we are home, we can rest. (This means "immediately after.")
    *   **Sense 3:** definition=at a previous time | synonyms=formerly, at one time, erstwhile, erst | examples=at one time he loved her; her erstwhile writing. (This means "in the past.")
4.  **Match the meaning to the sense:** The context requires the meaning "only one time" or "on one occasion." This matches Sense 1.
5.  **Formulate the final answer:** Return only the number 1.

Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the <t>rules</t> state. Ringers memorize patterns of changes, known as "methods, "which have odd-sounding names like Kent Treble Bob Major or Grandsire Caters.

Senses:
1. definition=a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation | examples=it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation
2. definition=something regarded as a normative example | synonyms=convention, normal, pattern, formula | examples=the convention of not naming the main character; violence is the rule not the exception
3. definition=prescribed guide for conduct or action | synonyms=prescript
4. definition=(linguistics) a rule describing (or prescribing) a linguistic practice | synonyms=linguistic rule
5. definition=a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct | synonyms=principle | examples=their principles of composition characterized all their works

12. definition=measuring stick consisting of a strip of wood or metal or plastic with a straight edge that is used for drawing straight lines and measuring lengths | synonyms=ruler

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the <t>rules</t> state."
2.  **Determine the meaning of "rules" in this context:** The context describes a specific activity (change-ringing) which involves varying the order of bells according to established patterns ("methods"). The phrase "the rules state" means that there are specific, mandatory guidelines or constraints that dictate *how* and *when* these changes can happen (e.g., "Each variation... can occur only once").
3.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**
    *   1. a principle or condition that customarily governs behavior | synonyms=regulation | examples=it was his rule to take a walk before breakfast; short haircuts were the regulation (Fits the idea of governing behavior/action.)
    *   2. something regarded as a normative example | synonyms=convention, normal, pattern, formula (Too broad; focuses on examples, not mandatory constraints.)
    *   3. prescribed guide for conduct or action | synonyms=prescript (Very close to 1, focusing on the prescriptive nature.)
    *   4. (linguistics) a rule describing (or prescribing) a linguistic practice (Incorrect domain.)
    *   5. a basic generalization that is accepted as true and that can be used as a basis for reasoning or conduct | synonyms=principle (Too abstract; these are specific operational constraints, not general principles.)
    *   6. the duration of a monarch's or government's power (Incorrect.)
    *   7. dominance or power through legal authority (Incorrect.)
    *   8. directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted | examples=he knew the rules of chess (This is a very strong fit. Change-ringing is a structured activity/game, and the "rules" define how the variations must occur.)
    *   9. any one of a systematic body of regulations defining the way of life of members of a religious order (Incorrect domain.)
    *   10. a rule or law concerning a natural phenomenon or the function of a complex system (Too scientific/abstract.)
    *   11. (mathematics) a standard procedure for solving a class of mathematical problems (Incorrect domain.)
    *   12. measuring stick (Incorrect.)
4.  **Compare the best fits (1, 3, 8):**
    *   Sense 1 (regulation/governing behavior): Accurate, but general.
    *   Sense 3 (prescribed guide for conduct or action): Accurate, but general.
    *   Sense 8 (directions that define the way a game or sport is to be conducted): Highly specific and contextually perfect. Change-ringing is a structured activity, and the "rules" define the permissible actions within that structure.

5.  **Conclusion:** Sense 8 provides the most precise and idiomatic fit for "rules" when applied to a structured, patterned activity like change-ringing.

3. definition=indicate through a symbol, formula, etc. | synonyms=express | examples=Can you express this distance in kilometers?

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

2.  **Analyze the context sentence:** "Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the rules <t>state</t>."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "state" in this context:** The rules (a set of guidelines or regulations) are doing the action of "stating" something. They are expressing or indicating the limitations on the changes.

4.  **Evaluate the provided senses:**

    *   **Sense 1:** definition=express in words | synonyms=say, tell | examples=He said that he wanted to marry her; tell me what is bothering you.
        *   *Fit:* The rules are expressing/saying the limitations. This is a strong match.

    *   **Sense 2:** definition=put before | synonyms=submit, put forward, posit | examples=I submit to you that the accused is guilty.
        *   *Fit:* The rules are not being submitted or put forward in the sense of presenting an argument for consideration. (Incorrect).

    *   **Sense 3:** definition=indicate through a symbol, formula, etc. | synonyms=express | examples=Can you express this distance in kilometers?
        *   *Fit:* While "express" is a synonym, the context refers to the rules *telling* or *saying* the limitation, not necessarily providing a mathematical or symbolic expression. Sense 1 (say/tell) is a more direct fit for rules communicating a constraint.

5.  **Select the best fit:** Sense 1 ("express in words," synonyms: say, tell) perfectly captures the meaning of rules communicating a constraint ("The rules say/tell that this can only happen once").

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

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

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 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. Each variation, or change, can occur only once, the rules state. Ringers memorize patterns of changes, known as "methods, "which have odd-sounding names like Kent Treble Bob Major or Grandsire Caters. A series of 5,000 or so changes is a "peal "and takes <t>about</t> three hours. A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London gives an idea of the work involved.

3.  **Analyze the target word usage:** "Thursday night practice" refers to a specific time period when the practice occurs.

4.  **Evaluate the senses:**

    *   1. definition=the time after sunset and before sunrise while it is dark outside | synonyms=nighttime, dark. (This is the general definition of nighttime, but does it fit the specific usage?)
    *   2. definition=a period of ignorance or backwardness or gloom. (Doesn't fit.)
    *   3. definition=the period spent sleeping | examples=I had a restless night. (Doesn't fit; they are practicing, not sleeping.)

    *   5. definition=darkness | examples=it vanished into the night. (This is a state of being, not a time unit.)
    *   6. definition=a shortening of nightfall | examples=they worked from morning to night. (Doesn't fit.)
    *   7. definition=the time between sunset and midnight | examples=he watched television every night. (This is a specific time window, often used interchangeably with "nighttime" in common speech, and fits the context of a scheduled evening event.)
    *   8. definition=Roman goddess of night... (Doesn't fit.)

5.  **Compare the best candidates (4 and 7):**

    *   The context is "Thursday night practice." This refers to the evening hours of Thursday.
    *   Sense 7: "the time between sunset and midnight." This perfectly describes the typical time frame for an evening practice session.
    *   Sense 4: "the dark part of the diurnal cycle considered a time unit." While technically correct (it is a time unit), Sense 7 is a more precise definition for the *period* of the day being referenced in the common phrase "Thursday night."

6.  **Conclusion:** Sense 7 provides the most accurate and common definition for "night" when used to denote an evening period of the day (like a practice session).

7.  **Final check:** The context is a scheduled event happening in the evening. Sense 7 matches this usage.

Senses:
1. definition=a customary way of operation or behavior | synonyms=pattern | examples=it is their practice to give annual raises; they changed their dietary pattern
2. definition=systematic training by multiple repetitions | synonyms=exercise, drill, practice session, recitation | examples=practice makes perfect

4. definition=the exercise of a profession | examples=the practice of the law; I took over his practice when he retired

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The text describes the activity of bell ringers. It details the process: starting in "rounds," varying the order of bells ("methods"), performing a "peal," and mentions a "Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church."

2.  **Analyze the target word:** The word is "practice" in the phrase "Thursday night practice."

3.  **Determine the meaning of "practice" in this context:** The ringers are engaged in a structured activity where they are learning, rehearsing, and executing complex patterns ("methods," "peals"). This is a session dedicated to improving skill and executing the required movements/patterns.

4.  **Evaluate the senses provided:**

    *   **1. a customary way of operation or behavior | synonyms=pattern:** This relates to habit or custom (e.g., "it is their practice to give annual raises"). This doesn't fit a scheduled training session.
    *   **2. systematic training by multiple repetitions | synonyms=exercise, drill, practice session, recitation | examples=practice makes perfect:** This perfectly describes a rehearsal or training session where skills are honed through repetition. This fits the context of bell ringing preparation.
    *   **3. translating an idea into action | synonyms=praxis:** This relates to implementation or application of theory. While the ringing is an action, the *practice session* itself is about the training/rehearsal, not the philosophical application of a theory.
    *   **4. the exercise of a profession:** This relates to professional work (e.g., "the practice of the law"). While bell ringing is a skill, the term "practice" here refers to the *session* of training, not the ongoing professional career itself.
    *   **5. knowledge of how something is usually done:** This relates to custom or local norms (e.g., "it is not the local practice to wear shorts to dinner"). This is too broad and doesn't capture the active, repetitive nature of the session.

5.  **Conclusion:** The context describes a structured training/rehearsal session for bell ringers. Sense 2, "systematic training by multiple repetitions," is the correct fit.

6.  **Final Output Generation:** Return only the number 2.

reasoning_content:
1.  **Analyze the context:** The sentence is: "A look at a Thursday night practice at St. Mary Abbot church in the Kensington district of London <t>gives</t> an idea of the work involved."
2.  **Identify the function of "gives":** In this sentence, "gives" means that the look/practice *provides* or *reveals* the idea.
3.  **Examine the senses list for matching meanings:**
    *   1. cause to have (physical/abstract) - Close, but usually implies a direct physical/causal result (e.g., "gave me a cold").
    *   2. be the cause or source of (yield, afford) - This is a strong candidate. The look *is the source* of the idea.
    *   3. transfer possession - No.
    *   4. convey or reveal information - This is a very strong candidate. The look *reveals* the idea.
    *   5. convey/bestow (compliment, attention) - No.
    *   6. organize/be responsible for - No.
    *   7. convey or communicate; of a smile, a look, a physical gesture (throw) - This sense specifically deals with conveying non-verbal communication (like a look), which fits the subject ("A look at...").
    *   8. give as a present - No.
    *   9. cause to happen/be responsible for (yield) - Similar to 2, but often used for outcomes (e.g., "gave the team the victory").
    *   10. dedicate - No.
    *   11. give or supply (render, yield, generate) - This is also a strong candidate, focusing on the output/supply of information.
    *   12. transmit (knowledge or skills) - Possible, but less precise than 4 or 7.
    *   13. bring about (establish) - Possible, but usually implies creation, not just revelation.
    *   14. leave with (temporarily) - No.
    *   15. emit or utter - No.
    *   16. endure the loss of - No.

    *   36. manifest or show - This is a very strong candidate. The practice *shows* the idea.
    *   37. offer in good faith - No.
    *   38. submit for consideration - No.
    *   39. guide or direct - No.

4.  **Compare the best candidates (2, 4, 7, 11, 36):**
    *   The subject is "A look at a Thursday night practice."
    *   The action is "gives an idea."
    *   Sense 4: "convey or reveal information." (Fits perfectly: the practice reveals the idea.)
    *   Sense 7: "convey or communicate; of a smile, a look, a physical gesture." (Fits the *type* of subject, but Sense 4 is broader and more accurate for the overall meaning of "giving an idea.")
    *   Sense 11: "give or supply." (Fits, but is slightly more formal/technical than "reveal.")
    *   Sense 36: "manifest or show." (Also fits perfectly: the practice manifests the idea.)

5.  **Select the most precise match:** Both 4 and 36 are excellent. Sense 4 ("convey or reveal information") is the most direct definition for how a piece of information (the practice) provides an idea. Sense 36 ("manifest or show") is also highly accurate. Since Sense 4 specifically uses the verb "reveal information," it is the most precise fit for the phrase "gives an idea."

6.  **Final check:** "A look at... gives an idea" = "A look at... reveals an idea." This matches Sense 4.
