It is better to select one proposal and get on with the job rather than to continue the discussion. 10. One would think that the better participants are prepared ahead of time the better the meeting will be.
B. 1. It was easy for him to prepare for his report for he had all the necessary material. 2. The amplification may be applied to the radio-frequency currents before detection, in which case it is called radio-frequency amplification; or it may be applied to the rectified currents after detection, which is called audio-frequency amplification. 3. Planning gives you a path to follow. It makes your future what you want it to be. 4. It is important to establish realistic goals with a sound methodology for achieving them. 5. It is quality that every car maker strives for. 6. It is difficult to machine a porous metal surface. 7. It is these properties that are the most important. 8. It seems that the engine is out of order. 9. The ionic character of the salt is reduced to the extent that it is moderately soluble in the benzene alcohol solvent. 10. This picture is useful but it can hardly be said to account completely for the properties of rubber.
C. 1. Since each object is a self-contained entity, you can move and change its properties. 2. As the electrode gap decreased, bond strength increased. 3. It was easy for him to prepare for his report for he had all the necessary material. 4. There are a lot of good modern braking systems. Yet research goes on, and the latest brake systems provide enhanced performance and greater reliability. 5. Because of the compact crystalline structure and the dense fluorine atoms, PTFE is the heaviest polymer material with a density of 2.1 g/cm3. 6. They provide some protection from online intrusion, but since they allow some applications (e.g. web browsers) to connect to the Internet, they don't protect against some unpatched vulnerabilities in these applications. 7. As shown in the figure, the length of the explosive-containing PVC pipe was taken to be equal to the length of the steel tube with top and bottom plugs. 8. The research on the explosive compaction is expressed by these parameters, because these parameters are easy to understand. 9. Although, magnetic properties have yet to be further improved, this study provides a step forward in illustrating this phenomenon. 10. The kite flies, for it exposes its flat surface at an angle against the wind.
