or 3. Employed

separately, separate
them.

Employed
In the case of as

habit of acting separately,
if such action
takes up the whole
of the time, make so
many official situations:
each man will
then be responsible
for what he does:
in the Board, none
are. If subordinates,
their operations and
advice would be
more at command,
than while co-ordinates.
