To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "finds" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "English novelist Dorothy L. Sayers described ringing as a 'passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection.'"

Here, "finds" is used to indicate that the passion of ringing achieves or attains its satisfaction through certain qualities (mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection). The word is not used in the context of discovering something new, nor is it about coming upon something by accident, or getting something for a specific purpose. Instead, it's about the passion realizing or fulfilling its satisfaction.

Let's look at the candidate senses:
1. come upon, as if by accident; meet with - Not applicable as "finds" is not about encountering something by chance.
2. discover or determine the existence, presence, or fact of - Not directly relevant as it's not about discovering a new fact or presence.
3. come upon after searching; find the location of something that was missed or lost - Not applicable as there's no indication of searching or locating something lost.
4. establish after a calculation, investigation, experiment, survey, or study - Not relevant as it doesn't involve a process of investigation or calculation.
5. come to believe on the basis of emotion, intuitions, or indefinite grounds - Not directly relevant as it's not about forming a belief.
6. perceive or be contemporaneous with - Not the best fit as it's not about perceiving or being contemporaneous with something.
7. get something or somebody for a specific purpose - Not applicable as it's not about obtaining something.
8. make a discovery, make a new finding - Not relevant as it's not about making a new discovery.
9. make a discovery - Similar to 8, not the best fit.
10. obtain through effort or management - While it involves achieving something, it's not the most fitting as it implies effort or management, which isn't the primary connotation here.
11. decide on and make a declaration about - Not relevant as it's a legal or formal declaration.
12. receive a specified treatment (abstract) - Not directly relevant.
13. perceive oneself to be in a certain condition or place - Not the best fit.
14. get or find back; recover the use of - Not applicable.
15. succeed in reaching; arrive at - This sense is plausible as it involves achieving or attaining something.
16. accept and make use of one's personality, abilities, and situation - Not directly relevant.

Upon closer inspection, the most suitable definition is related to the idea that the passion "finds" or achieves its satisfaction. The closest sense that captures this meaning is sense_index 10, "obtain through effort or management," but more accurately, it aligns with the idea of achieving or attaining something, which is somewhat related to sense 15, "succeed in reaching; arrive at." However, the most fitting interpretation in the context of WordNet senses provided is that "finds" here means to attain or achieve its satisfaction, which is closest to sense 10 or the broader interpretation related to achieving something.

The best answer is {"sense_index": 10}.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "satisfaction" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes the activity of bell ringing in a detailed and poetic manner, highlighting the skill, concentration, and ritual involved. It quotes Dorothy L. Sayers, describing ringing as a "passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection." This indicates that the satisfaction derived from bell ringing is related to the fulfillment of a specific desire or need for precision and perfection.

2. **Understanding the Quote**: The quote directly relates "satisfaction" to the aspects of "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection." This suggests that the satisfaction is derived from achieving a certain standard or fulfilling a particular requirement or desire related to the activity.

3. **Examining the Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. satisfaction%1:12:00::**: This sense refers to the contentment felt when a desire, need, or expectation is fulfilled. The example given is "the chef tasted the sauce with great satisfaction," indicating a feeling of pleasure or contentment upon achieving something.
   - **2. satisfaction%1:26:00::**: This sense is about the state of being gratified or satisfied, with "gratification" as a synonym. The examples suggest it relates to feeling pleased or fulfilled, often in a more general or emotional sense.
   - **3. satisfaction%1:21:00::**: This involves compensation for a wrong, with synonyms like "atonement" and "expiation." The context provided doesn't suggest that bell ringing is about compensating for a wrong.
   - **4. satisfaction%1:21:01::**: This is a legal context, referring to the payment of a debt or fulfillment of an obligation. The passage doesn't relate to legal or financial obligations.
   - **5. satisfaction%1:04:00::**: This sense is about the act of fulfilling a desire or need or appetite. While it could relate to the context, it's more about the act itself rather than the state or feeling resulting from it.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context suggests that "satisfaction" is related to a feeling or state achieved through the activity of bell ringing, specifically through its mathematical and mechanical aspects.
   - Senses 3 and 4 can be ruled out as they relate to compensation for a wrong and legal/financial obligations, respectively, which are not relevant to the context.
   - Sense 5 refers to the act of fulfilling a desire, which is somewhat relevant but doesn't directly capture the nuance of the feeling or state described.
   - Between senses 1 and 2, **1. satisfaction%1:12:00::** seems more appropriate because it directly relates to feeling content or pleased when a desire or need is fulfilled. The quote implies that the ringers derive contentment from achieving "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection," aligning with the idea of fulfilling a specific desire or expectation.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "satisfaction" in the given context is **1**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "mathematical" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "...a 'passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection.'"

Here, "mathematical completeness" is used alongside "mechanical perfection," suggesting a context that values precision, exactness, and possibly the intricate patterns or structures associated with mathematics.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **of or pertaining to or of the nature of mathematics** - This sense is plausible because "mathematical completeness" could refer to a quality related to mathematics, such as precision or a specific mathematical structure or pattern.

2. **relating to or having ability to think in or work with numbers** - While this sense is relevant to mathematics, it doesn't directly fit the context of "completeness" as described.

3. **beyond question** - This sense implies certainty, which could be related to the idea of "completeness" in a more abstract or figurative sense.

4. **statistically possible though highly improbable** - This sense doesn't directly relate to "completeness" or the context provided.

5. **characterized by the exactness or precision of mathematics** - This sense directly relates to the idea of "mathematical completeness" and "mechanical perfection," suggesting a high degree of precision or exactness.

Given the context, the use of "mathematical" to describe "completeness" is most likely intended to convey a sense of precision or exactness akin to mathematical concepts. The closest sense that captures this nuance is sense 5, which describes something as "characterized by the exactness or precision of mathematics."

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "mathematical" in this context is sense 5.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "mechanical" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The context describes the art of bell ringing in a church, highlighting the skill, precision, and ritual involved. The sentence where "mechanical" appears is: "English novelist Dorothy L. Sayers described ringing as a 'passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection.'" Here, "mechanical perfection" is used alongside "mathematical completeness," suggesting a focus on the precision and flawlessness of the performance.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense defines "mechanical" as "using (or as if using) mechanisms or tools or devices." The example given is "a mechanical process; his smile was very mechanical." This sense implies a lack of spontaneity or a reliance on machinery. While bell ringing does involve a physical mechanism (the bells and their ropes), the use of "mechanical" here doesn't directly relate to the operation of machinery but rather to the quality of the performance.

2. The second sense relates to "machinery or tools," with examples like "mechanical arts; mechanical design." This sense is more about the involvement with or design of machinery, which isn't the direct focus when describing the "perfection" achieved in bell ringing.

3. The third sense is about being "governed by or in accordance with mechanics," with an example of "a belief that the universe is a mechanical contrivance." This sense leans more towards a philosophical or scientific understanding of mechanics, which doesn't directly apply to the context of describing the perfection in bell ringing.

Given the context, "mechanical perfection" is used to describe the flawless execution of a complex ritual (bell ringing), emphasizing precision and lack of error rather than the use of machinery per se. The closest sense that captures this nuance is the first one, as it implies a process or action that is carried out with precision and without deviation, much like a mechanical or automated process. The phrase "mathematical completeness" further supports this interpretation, as both "mathematical completeness" and "mechanical perfection" suggest a high degree of precision and reliability.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "mechanical" in this context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "added" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "Ringers, she added, are 'filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed.'"

Here, "added" is used in the context of continuing or supplementing a statement. The subject, Dorothy L. Sayers, is quoting or paraphrasing ringers and then further describes them.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense involves making an addition to something, typically in a physical or quantitative sense. While it can be used in a broader sense, the example given ("We added two students to that dorm room; She added a personal note to her letter") doesn't directly fit the context of continuing a statement.

2. The second sense is "state or say further," with synonyms "append" and "supply." The example given is "`It doesn't matter,' he supplied." This sense fits the context well because "added" is used to indicate that the subject is continuing or supplementing her previous statement or description.

3. The third sense involves bestowing a quality on something, with synonyms like "lend," "impart," "bestow," "contribute," and "bring." While "added" can be used in this context, the example ("The music added a lot to the play") doesn't directly match the usage in the given sentence.

4. and 5. The fourth and fifth senses relate to mathematical operations (adding numbers together or determining the sum of numbers). These are not relevant to the context.

6. The sixth sense is "constitute an addition," which doesn't directly fit the context of the sentence.

Given the context and the examples, the most suitable sense for "added" is the second one, which involves stating or saying something further. This matches with the usage in the sentence where Dorothy L. Sayers is making a further statement about ringers.

Therefore, the best indexed sense is 2.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "filled" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage discusses the activity of bell ringing in a church setting, describing the technique, the skill involved, and the emotional or psychological state of the ringers. The sentence where "filled" appears quotes Dorothy L. Sayers describing ringers as being "filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed."

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "filled" is used to describe the state of being of the ringers, indicating they are experiencing or embodying a particular emotion or condition ("solemn intoxication") due to their activity.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. sense_key=filled%5:00:01:full:00**: This sense is defined as "generously supplied with" and is often followed by 'with' or used as a combining form. The example given is "theirs was a house filled with laughter; a large hall filled with rows of desks." The usage in the context ("filled with the solemn intoxication") matches this definition, as it implies being supplied or imbued with a certain feeling or state.
   - **2. sense_key=filled%3:44:00::**: This sense relates to purchase orders that have been filled, which is unrelated to the context provided.
   - **3. sense_key=filled%5:00:00:occupied:00**: This sense refers to time being taken up, as in "well-filled hours." While it involves a different preposition and context, it still deals with the idea of something being occupied or filled.

4. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - The context clearly indicates that "filled" is used to describe ringers being imbued with a certain emotional or psychological state ("solemn intoxication") due to their activity. This matches the first sense, which involves being "generously supplied with" something, in this case, an emotional state.
   - The use of "with" after "filled" in the passage directly aligns with the first sense's definition and examples.

5. **Conclusion**: Based on the context and the definitions provided, the best indexed sense for "filled" is the first one, as it accurately describes being supplied or imbued with a particular state or emotion.

The final answer is: {"sense_index": 1}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "solemn" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes the act of bell ringing in a church, highlighting the concentration, skill, and the almost obsessive nature of the ringers. It quotes Dorothy L. Sayers describing ringing as having a "satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection" and ringers being "filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed." The context suggests a serious, dedicated, and somewhat ritualistic activity.

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "solemn" is used to describe the "intoxication" felt by ringers. This implies a state of being that is deeply engaged or absorbed, likely with a connotation of seriousness or gravity.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: This sense is defined as "dignified and somber in manner or character and committed to keeping promises." The synonyms given are "grave, sedate, sober." The example provided is "a grave God-fearing man; a quiet sedate nature." This sense emphasizes a serious and dignified demeanor.
   - **Sense 2**: This sense is characterized by "a firm and humorless belief in the validity of your opinions." The synonyms are "earnest, sincere," with examples like "both sides were deeply in earnest, even passionate; an entirely sincere and cruel tyrant." This sense focuses on the genuineness or seriousness of one's beliefs or actions.

4. **Applying Context to Candidate Senses**:
   - The context describes an activity (bell ringing) that is performed with great seriousness and dedication. The use of "solemn intoxication" suggests a deep, serious engagement or absorption in the activity.
   - The phrase "intricate ritual faultlessly performed" supports the idea that the ringers are deeply earnest or sincere in their performance, aligning with a sense of being genuinely and seriously engaged.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**:
   - Given the context and the description of the ringers being "filled with the solemn intoxication," the word "solemn" here leans more towards describing the sincerity or earnestness of their engagement rather than just their dignified or somber demeanor.
   - **Sense 2** ("earnest, sincere") seems to fit better because it captures the essence of being deeply and genuinely engaged in an activity, which is supported by the context and the quote from Dorothy L. Sayers.

6. **Conclusion**: The best indexed sense for "solemn" in the given context is **2**.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "comes" in the given context, let's analyze the sentence and the provided candidate senses.

The sentence is: "Ringers, she added, are 'filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed.'"

The phrase "comes of" is a key indicator of the correct sense. This phrase is often used to indicate a result or consequence of something.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. The first sense (come%2:38:00::) involves moving toward something, which doesn't fit the context.
2. The second sense (come%2:38:04::) is about reaching a destination, which also doesn't fit.
3. The third sense (come%2:30:01::) is about something coming to pass or arriving in due course, which is relevant because "comes of" is used to indicate a consequence or result.

Given the context and the examples provided for the candidate senses, the sentence is discussing the result or consequence ("solemn intoxication") of performing an intricate ritual faultlessly.

The third sense (come%2:30:01::) matches this interpretation as it involves something coming to pass or arriving as a result, and one of its examples is "It came as a shock," which, while not identical, illustrates the concept of something resulting or following from something else.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "comes" in the given context is the third sense.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "ritual" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes the activity of bell ringing in a church setting, highlighting the skill, precision, and the almost obsessive nature of the ringers. It quotes Dorothy L. Sayers describing ringing as having a "satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection" and ringers being "filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed."

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "ritual" is used in the context of bell ringing, emphasizing its intricate and precise nature.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **1. any customary observance or practice**: This sense is broad and could apply to many contexts, including the one described.
   - **2. the prescribed procedure for conducting religious ceremonies**: While bell ringing is often associated with religious ceremonies, the passage focuses more on the technique and the ringers' experience rather than on a religious ceremony per se.
   - **3. stereotyped behavior**: This sense implies a behavior that is repeated in a predictable, unvarying manner. The description of bell ringing as involving "mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection" and being "faultlessly performed" suggests a high degree of standardization and repetition.

4. **Making a Decision**:
   - The context emphasizes the precision, skill, and the repetitive, intricate nature of bell ringing. While it is related to a religious setting, the focus is on the activity itself rather than its role in a religious ceremony.
   - The use of "intricate ritual" by Dorothy L. Sayers suggests a complex, possibly stereotyped behavior, but the primary connotation is that of a precise and complex practice or observance.
   - Sense 1 ("any customary observance or practice") seems to be the most fitting as it encompasses the idea of bell ringing being a complex, customary practice or observance that is performed with great precision.

5. **Choosing the Best Indexed Sense**: Based on the analysis, the best sense for "ritual" in this context is the first one, as it captures the essence of bell ringing being a complex and customary practice.

Therefore, the response should be: {"sense_index": 1}

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "performed" in the given context, let's analyze the context and the provided candidate senses.

The context is discussing the activity of bell ringing in a church setting, describing it as an intricate ritual that is done with precision. The sentence where "performed" appears is: "Ringers, she added, are 'filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed.'"

1. The first sense is defined as "carry out or perform an action." The synonyms given are "execute" and "do." The examples include actions like painting, weeding, and cleaning gutters, which are quite general. While "performed" could fit here in a broad sense, the context suggests a more specific nuance related to the execution of a ritual.

2. The second sense is "perform a function." An example given is "Who will perform the wedding?" This implies a more formal or official role, which doesn't directly align with the context of bell ringing as a ritual or performance.

3. The third sense is "give a performance (of something)." The examples include a musician performing at a venue and performing an opera. This sense leans towards a more public display of skill or artistry, which could align with the context of bell ringing as it is described as an "intricate ritual" that is "faultlessly performed."

4. The fourth sense is "get (something) done." The synonym is "do," and an example is "I did my job." This sense is more about completing a task, which is somewhat generic and doesn't fully capture the nuance of performing a ritual with precision and skill as described.

Given the context, the description of bell ringing as an "intricate ritual faultlessly performed" suggests a high level of skill and precision, akin to a performance. The closest sense that captures this nuance is the third sense, "give a performance (of something)," as it implies a level of artistry and execution that aligns with the description of the ritual.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "performed" in this context is the third sense.

1. The first sense is defined as "enter or assume a certain state or condition" with synonyms "go" and "get". The examples given are "He became annoyed when he heard the bad news" and "It must be getting more serious". This sense fits the context because "become" is used to indicate that ringing starts to be or develops into an obsession.

2. The second sense is "undergo a change or development" with the synonym "turn". Examples include "The water turned into ice" and "Her former friend became her worst enemy". While this sense involves change or development, it often implies a more significant transformation than what is described in the context.

3. The third sense is "come into existence" with the example "What becomes has duration". This sense doesn't directly fit the context because "become" here is not about something coming into existence but rather about the development of a state or condition.

4. The fourth sense is "enhance the appearance of" with the synonym "suit". Examples are "Mourning becomes Electra" and "This behavior doesn't suit you!". This sense is unrelated to the context as "become" is not used to mean that something enhances the appearance of another thing.

Given the context and the definitions, the first sense ("enter or assume a certain state or condition") is the most appropriate because it accurately describes the development of ringing into an obsession.

Therefore, the best indexed sense for "become" in the given context is the first one.

To determine the best indexed sense for the target word "obsession" in the given context, let's analyze the provided information step by step.

1. **Context Analysis**: The passage describes the activity of bell ringing, highlighting the concentration, skill, and passion involved. It quotes an English novelist, Dorothy L. Sayers, describing ringing as a "passion that finds its satisfaction in mathematical completeness and mechanical perfection" and notes that ringers are "filled with the solemn intoxication that comes of intricate ritual faultlessly performed." Stephanie Pattenden is quoted as saying, "Ringing does become a bit of an obsession."

2. **Understanding the Target Word**: The word "obsession" is used in the context of bell ringing being a significant and all-consuming activity for those involved.

3. **Examining Candidate Senses**:
   - **Sense 1**: Refers to "an irrational motive for performing trivial or repetitive actions, even against your will" with the synonym "compulsion." The example given is "her compulsion to wash her hands repeatedly." This sense implies an action that is against one's will or is irrational and not necessarily related to a passion or a positive preoccupation.
   - **Sense 2**: Describes "an unhealthy and compulsive preoccupation with something or someone" with the synonym "fixation." This sense focuses on a strong, possibly unhealthy preoccupation.

4. **Choosing the Best Sense**:
   - The context suggests that bell ringing is a significant passion and activity for the ringers, not necessarily something they are compelled to do against their will. Stephanie Pattenden's statement that "Ringing does become a bit of an obsession" is made in a matter-of-fact way, indicating it's a natural progression of their passion.
   - The description of ringing as a "passion" and the ringers being "filled with the solemn intoxication" suggests a strong, positive preoccupation rather than an irrational or against-their-will action.
   - Therefore, the sense that best fits is **Sense 2**, as it describes a strong preoccupation, aligning with the context of a passionate and all-consuming activity.

5. **Response**: Given that Sense 2 is the correct choice and it is indexed as "2" according to the provided candidate senses, the response should be formatted as per the instructions.

Here, "best" is used to describe "female ringers," indicating a comparison among ringers to identify those who are superior or of the highest quality in their skill or performance.

Let's examine the candidate senses:

1. **Superlative of 'good' having the most positive qualities**: This sense fits the context as "best" is used to describe someone with the most positive qualities in terms of their ringing skill.

2. **Wiser or more advantageous and hence advisable**: This doesn't fit as "best" is not describing a course of action or advice.

Other senses provided relate to various meanings of "good," which is the base adjective for "best." While some of these could conceptually fit (like being skilled or adept), the direct meaning of "best" as a superlative form is more relevant.

The context indicates that "best" is used to signify the highest level of skill among female ringers. Thus, the most appropriate sense is the one that aligns with "best" being the superlative form of "good," indicating having the most positive qualities, especially in the context of skill or performance.
