Hi Tamara,

The two sentences mean quite different things. Try rewriting without using
the word only:

Tamara's sentence: Factors that are the same across all pipelines and
internal
companies are only included in this form.

Tamara's meaning: You will find these factors in this form exclusively, and
not on any other form.

Summer Students: Only factors that are the same across all pipelines and
internal companies are included in this form.

Student's meaning: You will find factors that are the same across all
pipelines on this form, but not factors which are unique to a particular
situation.
