That could not have been accomplished without the previous efforts.
Clarifying expectations -- universal diligence. “Stop right there! Give me 10 feet and then you can come by,” says my colleague as I meet her in the common hallway. 4． Large gatherings are canceled and restaurants are empty as we all spend more time at home to avoid interactions with others.

（B）
It would not be an overstatement to say that salt is one of the greatest discoveries in the
history of mankind. Just imagine how tasteless our food would have been had salt not been discovered. Apart, from adding flavor to our food, it is also an esntial ingredient for the health of both man as well as animals, provided it is taken in the right quantities. Salt is also ud by the food processing and meat packing industries as a asoning or prervative ingredient.
