Examples of make sense in a Sentence

  1. Denise Bennett:

    When I realized the short amount of time that she had been on the job, and the drastic decision that was made, it just did not compute in my head, with the fact that there are so many things one can do if they think they have a nightmare supervisor, there's so many things that can be done.

It's these comparisons that bring the data alive.

  5. The Biden transition official:

    We have to provide a message that health and hope is on the way, but coming right now does not make sense for their own safety…while we put into place processes that they may be able to access in the future.
