• He was almost in a trance, staring at the fielder on the boundary and had to be yanked out of his reverie by Mark Wood, who hugged him. (Sriram Veera)
• Scourge: A person or thing that causes great trouble or suffering; a cause of wide or great affliction.  
• The role of private sector in tackling scourges such as modern slavery, human trafficking and child labor, will also be important to consider in the context of development. (Richard Welford).
