How to use composition in a sentence?

  1. Robert DePalma:

    But two of those were wildly different in composition. You had spikes in chromium and nickel and some other elements that are only common in meteoritic material and those fragments based on our preliminary analysis... are almost certainly of cosmic origin. this example of what might be a little tiny fragment, maybe micrograms, of the colliding asteroid -- the fact that a record of that is preserved, would be mind-blowing.

  2. Al Joersz:

    Lockheed changed the sealant composition many times through the years trying to get one that would work better than the last one — trying to solve the issue of the leaks, but they never did. It always leaked.

  3. Frances Lee:

    The fact that the racial divide is so deep between the parties, and the urban-rural divide is so deep between the parties, overlaps in problematic ways with the bias in The Senate representation, and that bias in The Senate representation is also reflected in Electoral College and in the composition of Supreme Court because it is the Senate's job to confirm nominations. So it's all linked.

  4. Thomas Jefferson:

    Every species of government has its specific principles. Ours perhaps are more peculiar than those of any other in the universe. It is a composition of the freest principles of the English constitution, with others derived from natural right and natural reason.

  5. Daniel Fisher:

    You've got a whole life spread out before you in that tusk. The growth and development of the animal, as well as its history of changing land use and changing behavior -- all of that history is captured and recorded in the structure and composition of the tusk.
