Okay. However, how would you see the following sentences
1. The company is trying to narrow down the number of workers that it has( I hope it is necessary to narrow down something to a particular number?)
2.Things have been very hard for us for some time now. We are planning on narrowing down our expenses for the time being before everything gets back to normal.
3. The mechanic narrowed down the speed at which the vehicles were moving.
4. A situation where the cost of production is being narrowed down, it is likely that there would be a maximization of profit.
5. Excessive checkmating on the executive by the judiciary should be narrowed down a little bit.
These are my sentences. I believe they all sound natural?
