How to use compromise in a sentence?

1. Royce Miller:

   At face value, this final version looks a lot fairer, there were powerful voices at the table, and valid arguments, on both sides and this is a compromise which means the Chinese banks have to comply by fixed deadlines, but they have a very long window.

2. Noah Bonsey:

   But it seems to be the rebel side that is more concerned about the trajectory at this moment, while the regime camp enjoys momentum, the regime itself never showed much openness for compromise even in its most vulnerable moments, so we can expect its current sense of momentum to further reinforce maximalism as Damascus pushes for a decisive military upper hand.

3. Matt Allen:

   As a labor and delivery nurse who helps mothers to bring babies into this world, I find it outrageous that Mount Sinai would compromise care for our NICU babies in any way. We already have NICU nurses caring for twice as many sick babies as they should, it’s unconscionable that Mount Sinai refuses to address unsafe staffing in our NICU and other units of the hospital but is now stirring fears about our NICU babies in contract negotiations.

4. Ivan Drury:

   The fascination with Tesla is not that they were the first to introduce an all-electric vehicle, it stems more from the first electric vehicle without compromise to styling, performance metrics and range.

5. Juan Miranda-Jara:

   We know there are many people in the community who are shocked by this, grossed out by this, disturbed by this, have questions, a whole range of emotions, but in time, we will be able to give the community the answers they want. We just don’t have all the answers right now to give them, and we don’t want to compromise the investigation that’s still happening and really just now getting started.
