Examples of required in a Sentence

1. Jason Lewis ':

   Well, the thing is, can we call anybody a slut ? This is what begs the question. Take this woman out of it, take Rush out of it for a moment, does a woman now have the right to behave -- and I know there's a double standard between the way men chase women and running and running around -- you know, I'm not going to get there, but you know what I'm talking about. But it used to be that women were held to a little bit of a higher standard. We required modesty from women. Now, are we beyond those days where a woman can behave as a slut, but you can't call her a slut ?

2. Gary Peters:

   Despite my serious reservations, I will reluctantly vote against a motion of disapproval because I believe that doing so will protect the credibility of the United States to hold Iran accountable to adhere to every single obligation in the [Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action], having talked to the technical experts who will be involved with the implementation of this agreement, I have come to the conclusion that its many overlapping provisions will make it exceedingly difficult for the Iranians to build a nuclear weapon in the short term and will lengthen the time required should they choose to break their commitments and try to build one in the future.

3. Bill Gates:

   I'm pleased to have been an early backer of Bill Gross's novel solar concentration technology, its capacity to achieve the high temperatures required for these processes is a promising development in the quest to one day replace fossil fuel.

4. Meaghan VerGow:

   The federal government must be required to follow the law in setting any execution date, as the district court correctly held... Given everything we know about Lisa Montgomery's mental illness, Lisa Montgomery lifetime of horrific torture and trauma, and the many people in positions of authority who could have intervened to save Lisa Montgomery but never did, there can be no principled reason to carry out Lisa Montgomery execution, the government should stop its relentless efforts to end her life.

5. Alwiyat Seif al-Sham:

   The response wasn't at the required speed, or at the level of the attack the regime and are Iran are waging against us, what we are suffering from is being targeting by the regime with guided missiles from the hills they control, and the warplanes dropping barrel bombs.
