00:08

passage 2 mostly likely respond to question in Passage 1 about whether conformity expectation

00:12

we'd say is the more complex situations those aligned 3 4 3 2

00:16

let's go back the last paragraph there in a passage one and kind of skim it so

00:20

that we're thinking aloud here it's just a bunch of lines what is that oh there

00:25
