3 It 's not the getting from A to B of the song , that counts , but the swagger , the way of walking .
4 To her it was just a means of getting from A to B , but she welcomed its invention because it lessened cruelty to horses .
5 Sometimes , particularly where you have a specific audience , the task may be primarily a logistical one — moving them from A to B — and you can solve this by bussing them in .
6 The task of going direct from A to C , if I can see C , presents no special difficulty ; this is the kind of problem solved by the students of animal orientation .
7 Granted that I have a map of my house in my head , how do I use it to go from A to E ?
8 That is , we want a computer program which , given the map and asked ‘ how should I go from A to E ? ’ will answer ‘ A-C-D-E ’ .
9 Suppose it wants to go from A to a point E that it can not see .
10 He totted up the number of points according to guidelines worked out by Denplan with categories from A to E. In my case , the extent of dental work meant I scored 158 points , putting me in the most expensive category , E.
11 The theorists ' problems stem from the many different ways quarks have of getting from A to B. On the way , they can emit or absorb any number of gluons ( particles which carry the strong nuclear force ) , so the possibilities are endless .
12 Summing up the ninety-eight ways from A to B
13 QUANTUM physicists are trying to calculate the probability that a particle goes from A to B. This probability is the sum of the probabilities of each of the possible routes it could take .
14 Calculating the probability of the quark following this path from A to B involves integration , which is always difficult for computers .
15 The only way in which the discrimination between A and B can be enhanced is by some process that reduces the role of the c elements in producing generalization from A to B. It is not apparent that establishing associations between A and X and between B and Y will do this , even though X and Y themselves hold rather few ( z ) elements in common .
16 Indeed , to the extent that X is perceived as being similar to Y ( i.e. to the extent that these events hold elements in common ) , the acquired equivalence mechanism will operate , with these common elements ( the z elements ) mediating generalization from A to B.
17 This last point is critical — if the associative strength of the c elements is low there will be little generalization from A to B , that is , discrimination between A and B will be enhanced .
18 At the empirical level , all we can observe is a difference between the acquired equivalence condition ( good generalization from A to B ) and the acquired distinctiveness condition ( poorer generalization from A to C ) .
19 At the empirical level , all we can observe is a difference between the acquired equivalence condition ( good generalization from A to B ) and the acquired distinctiveness condition ( poorer generalization from A to C ) .
20 First , good generalization from A to B can be readily explained in terms of mediation by the associate .
21 There is no reason , however , why the restriction should apply only to the elements that A holds in common with C and not those that it holds in common with B. That is , the overshadowing mechanism , if it operates , should reduce generalization both from A to C and from A to B. It can not , therefore , be responsible for the result obtained .
22 There is no reason , however , why the restriction should apply only to the elements that A holds in common with C and not those that it holds in common with B. That is , the overshadowing mechanism , if it operates , should reduce generalization both from A to C and from A to B. It can not , therefore , be responsible for the result obtained .

24 There are seven grades to be allotted , from A to G. Grades A , B , and C are aligned to the old O level grades A , B , and C , and to CSE grade I. Grades D and E are aligned to O level grades D and E and to CSE 2 and 3 ; while grade F is aligned to CSE grade 4 , which used to be considered the average grade in the population as a whole .
25 ‘ The successful scholar is normally the person who has the least difficulty in identifying the route from A to B … yet are these always the best people to put in charge of those with the greatest difficulty ? ’ .
