s/is/those/ possibly, or s/is/are/.  is doesn't seem to match with the

corrects the inaccurate guidelines given :)

 I'm struggling with a sentence. Wondering if it sounds okay to y'all
 or if someone can provide better wording.
 
 To test the results, issue: make check. Note that the “torture
 load testing” test uses more resources than is displayed in the

To test the results, issue: make check. Note that the “torture
