Target lemma: leave

Context:
In a well-known detective-story involving church bells, English novelist Dorothy L. Sayers described ringing as a "passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection. "Ringers, she added, are "filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed. ""Ringing does become a bit of an obsession, "admits Stephanie Pattenden, master of the band at St. Mary Abbot and one of England's best female ringers.

The context describes ringers who focus on the mechanical perfection of bell ringing and often leave the act of "worship" to others after their performance. This indicates that "worship" here refers to the activity of worshipping, i.e., the religious act of showing reverence to a deity or sacred thing, which is being contrasted with the ringers' focus on bell ringing. The synonym "adoration" aligns more with a feeling rather than an activity, supporting the interpretation that the intended meaning is the act of worshipping.

To determine the best sense for "well" in the context:

**Context:**
"This does not sit *well* with some clerics."

The phrase "sit well" is commonly used to express that something is agreeable or acceptable. It implies a favorable reception or approval.

**Analysis of Candidate Senses:**

1. **Sense 1:** "in a good or proper or satisfactory manner" – focuses on performance quality, not directly about acceptance.
2. **Sense 2:** "thoroughly or completely" – unrelated to the idea of acceptance.
3. **Sense 3:** "indicating high probability" – not relevant to the context of approval.
4. **Sense 4:** "entirely or fully" – does not capture the nuance of approval.
5. **Sense 5:** "to a suitable or appropriate extent" – too vague for the specific meaning of "sit well."
6. **Sense 6:** "favorably; with approval" – directly matches the idiomatic use of "sit well," indicating that something is acceptable or pleasing.
7. **Sense 7:** "to a great extent or degree" – not specific to approval.
8. **Sense 8:** "with great or especially intimate knowledge" – unrelated.
9. **Sense 9:** "with prudence or propriety" – not the idiomatic sense used here.
10. **Sense 10:** "with skill or in a pleasing manner" – not the idiomatic sense.
11. **Sense 11:** "in a manner affording benefit or advantage" – too broad.
12. **Sense 12:** "in financial comfort" – irrelevant.
13. **Sense 13:** "without unusual distress or resentment" – not the idiomatic sense.

**Conclusion:**
The phrase "sit well" is idiomatic and means "to be acceptable or pleasing." This aligns precisely with **Sense 6**, which defines "well" as "favorably; with approval."

Therefore, the best indexed sense is **Sense 6**.

**JSON Response:**
```json
{"sense_index": 6}

To determine the best sense for "equally" in the given context, we 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."*

**Contextual Analysis:**
- The phrase "pressing **equally** strong-willed and often non-religious ringers" suggests a comparison between two groups: strong-willed vicars and strong-willed (and non-religious) ringers.
- The word "equally" is used to indicate that the pressure is applied to both groups in a comparable manner, emphasizing fairness or balance.

**Synonyms and Examples:**
1. **Sense 1:** "to the same degree (often followed by `as')"; synonyms: *as, every bit*; examples: "they were equally beautiful; birds were singing and the child sang as sweetly."
   - This sense focuses on similarity in degree or manner, which aligns with the idea of applying equal pressure to both groups.

2. **Sense 2:** "in equal amounts or shares; in a balanced or impartial way"; synonyms: *evenly*; examples: "a class evenly divided between girls and boys; they split their winnings equally."
   - This sense emphasizes distribution or balance, which could also apply, but the context is more about the manner of applying pressure rather than distribution.

**Conclusion:**
The context emphasizes that the vicars are treating both groups (strong-willed vicars and strong-willed ringers) with the same level of insistence, highlighting a sense of fairness or parity in their approach. This aligns more closely with **Sense 1**, which deals with similarity in degree or manner.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "equally" in this context is **Sense 1**.

raw_output:
To determine the best sense for "years" in the given context, we analyze the surrounding text:

- The sentence mentions "Two **years** ago," indicating a reference to a past time period.
- The context discusses events that occurred in the past ("Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone..."), suggesting a temporal measurement rather than a calendar cycle or a group of students.

Given this, the most appropriate sense is:

1. **sense_key=year%1:28:01::** - definition: a period of time containing 365 (or 366) days; synonyms: twelvemonth, yr; examples: she is 4 years old; in the year 1920.

This sense aligns with the use of "years" to denote a past time interval ("Two years ago").

Therefore, the best indexed sense is the first one.

To determine the best sense for "so" in the given context, we analyze the sentence:

*"With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got **so** fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band; the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest."*

The word "so" here is used to indicate the extent of the vicar's frustration leading to a specific action (sacking the band). It links the degree of being "fed up" to the consequence that followed.

**Sense Analysis:**

1. **to a very great extent or degree** – This sense fits well, as "so" is emphasizing the high degree of frustration.
2. **in a manner that facilitates** – Not applicable; the context is about frustration, not facilitation.
3. **in such a condition or manner, especially as expressed or implied** – Less fitting; it suggests a condition rather than a degree of intensity.
4. **to a certain unspecified extent or degree** – Possible, but "so" here is clearly indicating a strong, specific degree.
5. **in the same way; also** – Not applicable; there is no parallel action being described.
6. **in the way indicated** – Not applicable; no indication is being followed.
7. **(usually followed by `that`) to an extent or degree as expressed** – This sense aligns well, as "so" is followed by "fed up," expressing the degree of frustration.
8. **subsequently or soon afterward** – Not applicable; "so" is not introducing a temporal sequence.
9. **(used to introduce a logical conclusion)** – Not applicable; "so" is not introducing a conclusion from a prior statement.

Target lemma: ringer
Target surface form: ringers
Context:
It is a passion that usually stays in the tower, however. More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry. When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below. This does not sit well with some clerics. With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got so fed up with <t>ringers</t> who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band; the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest. "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as sort of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says.

Candidate senses:
1. sense_key=ringer%1:18:02:: | definition=a person who rings church bells (as for summoning the congregation) | synonyms=toller, bell ringer

4. Return only a JSON object exactly like {"sense_index": 3}.

raw_output:
The context describes individuals who ring church bells, often referred to as "ringers" in the context of bell-ringing societies and their relationship with the church. The synonyms provided ("toller," "bell ringer") further support this interpretation. The other senses (clone, competitor under false pretenses, horseshoe throw) do not align with the context of church bell ringing.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

raw_output:
The context describes a "tower" in the setting of a church and its belfry, where ringers use it for ringing bells. This clearly refers to a structure taller than its diameter, typically standing alone or attached to a larger building, such as a church tower. The other senses (column/pillar and tugboat) do not fit the context.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is:

```json
{"sense_index": 1}
```

Context:
More often than not, ringers think of the church as something stuck on the bottom of the belfry. When their changes are completed, and after they have worked up a sweat, ringers often skip off to the local pub, leaving worship for others below. This does not sit well with some clerics. With membership of the Church of England steadily dwindling, strong-willed vicars are pressing equally strong-willed and often non-religious ringers to attend services. Two years ago, the Rev. Jeremy Hummerstone, vicar of Great Torrington, Devon, got so fed up with ringers who didn't attend service he sacked the entire band; the ringers promptly set up a picket line in protest. "They were a self-perpetuating club that treated the tower as <t>sort</t> of a separate premises, "the Vicar Hummerstone says.
