Exercise 5. Read the following extract from a medical report.
It does not include any tentative language. Highlight any verbs which sound assertive. Then rewrite the parts you have underlined to make the writer's claims less assertive and more tentative.

Evidence shows that environmental factors play a significant role in
the development and course of bipolar disorder, and that individual psychosocial variables interact with genetic dispositions. Evidence proves that recent life events and interpersonal relationships contribute to the likelihood of onsets and recurrences of bipolar mood episodes, as they do for onsets and recurrences of unipolar depression. There have been repeated findings that between a third and a half of adults diagnosed with bipolar disorder report traumatic / abusive experiences in childhood. The total number of reported stressful events in childhood is higher in those with an adult diagnosis of bipolar spectrum disorder compared to those without. These events stem from a harsh environment rather than from the child's own behavior.
