The doctor scrutinized the x-rays very carefully to make sure he did not miss anything.

They endured the geese on their beach in the summer, because they couldn't stand the idea of shooting them.

When Daisy and Gatsby meet, Gatsby doesn't say anything after Daisy greets him. He is paralyzed, unable to speak.
