How to use solve in a sentence?

  1. Bobby Jindal:

    The answer to this is not to put a Band-Aid on this and allow even more people to come into America, we should not short-circuit the vetting process -- we've got a normal vetting process. Simply allowing more people into our country doesn't solve this problem.

  2. Dante Scala:

    Now that we're in this age of ISIS and so forth, Republicans have lost their ambivalence toward interventionism, it can be difficult for candidates to make news anyway during these summer months, and with Trump there, it makes matters worse. In some ways maybe it's unfair to judge him to see what happens in the fall. But that overarching problem is something he has yet to solve.

  3. Jackie Kucinich:

    This just highlights how difficult and complicated it is to really solve this problem in America.

  4. Carole Baskin:

    We're going to have to change the laws if we're going to solve this problem.

  5. Lu Shanlong:

    The best way to solve it should be to optimise the way it is currently engineered, and not add even more engineering.
