How to use gravely in a sentence?

  1. Robert C. Murphy:

    To be listened to is, generally speaking, a nearly unique experience for most people. It is enormously stimulating.

While Michiganders are no longer required to stay home, we must all continue to be smart and practice social distancing, and encourage those who meet the criteria to get tested for COVID-19, Gretchen Whitmer said in a statement. Gretchen Whitmer, considered a possible Democratic pick for vice president in 2020, on Monday called President Trumps response to protests and rioting deeply disturbing and a clear signal that this administration is determined to sow the seeds of hatred and division.
