🧩 The 'MUST' Logic
In this story, we see a strong word: must.
When a judge says someone must do something, it is not a choice. It is a rule.
How it works:
Person → must → Action
Examples from the text:
- Government → must show → secret files.
- Government → must show → emails.
🛠 Simple Word Swaps
To move from A1 to A2, try replacing simple words with these from the text:
- Instead of 'big fight', use → legal fight.
- Instead of 'paper', use → files or contracts.
- Instead of 'stop', use → protect.
