Upon reviewing the original text and the response, I made the following adjustments to better adhere to the instructions:
1. Converted headers and table into proper Markdown format.
2. Ensured that the original word count and order are preserved.
3. Corrected spelling errors and fixed spacing issues.
4. Rejoined broken sentences and restored paragraph breaks where necessary.
5. Indicated missing words with `...` if necessary, though there were no clear instances in this text.
6. Ensured that file references are formatted correctly without spaces inside parentheses (not applicable in this specific response).
7. Preserved page numbering lines as per the original scan (not applicable in this specific response).
The response is already in a suitable format, so no further changes are needed beyond what's been done. The table has been properly reconstructed in Markdown syntax, and the text has been corrected for spelling and spacing.
