 I made my approach ensure that only Operatives with Animal were replaced. I saw that some Null()'s came up when using a different method. My thought process was, assume operatives that were != "Animal" are already correct. I didn't want to make the assumption that the "Article" tag included the correct operative, or even the possibility of a different (or multiple) operative(s). I guess someone could make the argument that Operatives != "Animal" could also be potentially incorrect. Unclear data would obviously lead to questions to determine the actual correct approach.

But with a safe dataset like this, the above was probably over thinking the exercise 😉

those pesky plural forms required extra work! ended up not with a very dynamic approach, but it covers typical plural forms (with -es and -s endings)
