Examples of OBSERVED in a Sentence

1. Barack Obama:

   Nancy is not always the best on a cable show or with a quick soundbite or what have you, but her skill, tenacity, toughness, vision, is remarkable. Her stamina, her ability to see around corners, her ability to stand her ground and do hard things and to suffer unpopularity to get the right thing done, I think, stands up against any person that I've observed or worked directly with in Washington during my lifetime.

2. Julian Dowdeswell:

   What the geological record is showing is rates of change can be significantly faster than the fastest rates that we've observed in the satellite record, which of course means that ice can in principle be decanted back into the ocean faster than we thought -- with implications for sea level rise.

3. Sandeep Robert Datta:
