How to use remedy in a sentence?

  1. Mother Teresa:

    We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.

  2. Joe Harding:

    The second thing is that it creates a course of action for the parent who is dealing with a school district that has decided they are going to become the parent. They’re going to take your student that has anxiety and stress and mental concerns maybe even talking about self harm and they’re going to put them in mental health and take steps to change the services at the school and protect that student from themselves but never engage with the parent. That’s just wrong so our bill seeks to remedy that.

  3. Stacey Abrams:

    So let's be clear -- this is not a speech of concession, because concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true or proper, as a woman of conscience and faith, I can not concede that. But, my assessment is the law currently allows no further viable remedy. Now, I can certainly bring a new case to keep this one contest alive, but I don't want to hold public office if I need to scheme my way into the post. Because the title of governor isn't nearly as important as our shared title -- voters. And that is why we fight on.

  4. President Nicole Neily:

    Students are still working to remedy pandemic-related learning loss, which means that every minute in schools matters, parents deserve to know that a clearly political organization is using the public school system for voter rallies.

  5. Assistant Commerce Minister Zhang Ji:

    Britain is an important member of the EU and consistently upholds a free trade position, we hope Britain continues to play a positive role in internal EU matters and pushes for high-tech exports to China and restrains the use of trade remedy measures against China.
