Having children in your care with TBI can be a challenge (traumatic brain injury

why is that ​

A co-worker of yours was tasked with writing an email to the department, encouraging appropriate handwashing protocol in the workplace. She asked you to review her writing for grammar, punctuation, spelling, and any other sentence errors. She also wants to make sure her email comes across as professional, since it will be going to her co-workers, her supervisor, and the head of the department.

What’s up, guys?

So, I have to send an email to ya’ll about making sure you use apprpreeate hand-washing methids. Since were all trying to stay safe and healthy in this office. There are lots of reasons why u need to wash your hands. First off, wash after you go to the bathroom because that would be really gross and nasty for people to go to the bathroom and then forget to wash their hands which will spread all kinds of germs and might make some people sick, you know? Next, you probably need to wash your hands after eating lunch or even snacks, or really any time that you might touch your face or mouth or nose and then touch a door handle or shake someone’s hand or give someone a high five. That’s a big one when it comes to spreading germs. For future reference, please don’t spread your germs and wash your hands.

Thanks for listening to my email. Have a good day and remember to wash your hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So in other words, the claim is that “very strange or out-of-the-ordinary claims or theories require a great deal of evidence before we believe them”.)

Read the poem and answer the question.

[1]I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10]Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15]A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20]In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
