peer agreement (net): +1to reassure (the owner) Explanation: See my discussion entry. I would reword the sentence. I don't think we use 'self-reassurance' as a term. ... served to reassure the owner/him (depending on prior formulation.). |

14 hrs confidence: peer agreement (net): +3
peer agreement (net): +3for peace of mind Explanation: "Was the inventory kept for peace of mind or was it the first step entering those objects back into economic circulation?" "Reassure" is more tricky to use in a self-contained phrase because you will have to ask: Reassure whom? Reassure him/her of what? |
