There may be three different conclusions and results; or the outcome may be the same in all three cases. Who used the correct process? Was one of these three people more correct than the other two?

There may be no more joyous iteration in all of music than 1980s hard rock.

A well-established rehabilitation counselor, she was too embarrassed to reveal on social media how utterly isolated she was by asking for someone to help, and it felt agonizingly awkward calling colleagues out of the blue.

True prosperity - thriving economically - is possible for all humanity, but common myths prevent us from achieving it.
