Decoding an enemy’s message ____ with the belief that the apparently random signals conceal a coherent meaning.

While explanation includes the particular covered by a general law, decoding substitutes one element with another in accordance with a rule that may be individual to ____ particular case:
the enemy’s second message may or may not ____ written in the same code as the first.

(Do not do this for more ____ a minute or you may become dizzy.)
The reason is that breath-holding is terminated not by the demand for ____ but rather by the falling carbon dioxide concentration in the blood.
When this reaches a critical level ____ stimulates you to take a breath.
Hyperventilation before holding your breath blows off carbon dioxide from the body and enables a longer period to go by before carbon dioxide builds up to a ____ sufficient to stimulate breathing.
The opposing drives from ____ and carbon dioxide explain why no change in breathing occurs at altitudes of less than 3000 metres.

Ultimately those who define policy exert power over those who follow policy and, in education at least, it is rare that policy is determined ____

A frequently seen example of policy as ____ in schools is uniform.
It is for the ‘governing board’ of a school to determine if it has a uniform, and if so ____ it is, but parents and children have a duty to comply, and school staff have a duty to enforce it.
Countless children will have discovered that they cannot appeal to the logic that inadequate uniform does not ____ their learning, and nor can they resort to any individual to plead their case, for the power rests within the policy itself:
