, not in the body. The body should not repeat the title as a header. So the HTML structure will have the title tag, then the body with the content. Now, the literary style of Solzhenitsyn. His style is solemn, testimonial, focusing on systemic issues, moral gravity, and the struggle against oppressive forces. So I need to rephrase the article with that tone. For example, instead of “Shares of packaged food giant… fell,” maybe “The shares of the packaged food colossus, The J.M. Smucker Company, experienced a precipitous decline…” Using more elaborate language, emphasizing the systemic issues like tariffs as oppressive forces. The original text mentions the earnings miss, tariffs, revenue decline, price hikes, etc. I need to present these facts with a Solzhenitsyn touch. For instance, “tariffs especially taking a bite out of the bottom line” could become “the unrelenting tariffs gnawed at the company’s profits, a relentless scourge that left the earnings in tatters.” Also, the user wants to replace primitive humor with intelligent, understated humor. However, the original text doesn’t have much humor, so maybe that’s not an issue here. But I need to ensure the tone is solemn and critical. The analysis needs to be deeper. So, for example, when discussing the guidance increase, instead of just stating it, maybe reflect on the management’s optimism in the face of systemic challenges, perhaps hinting at the fragility of such optimism.
