Spacing issues have been addressed (e.g., removing extra spaces, adding missing spaces). 3. Broken sentences have been rejoined where necessary. 4. Paragraph breaks have been restored for better readability. 5. Markdown formatting has been applied for structure (using HTML as per the final instruction). 6.
