constituted apparent authority, and as to [Name of Plaintiff] were the same as if [Name
of Principal] had authorized [Name of Agent] to take the action. The apparent authority
of [Name of Agent] may not be based solely on the words or conduct of [Name of
Agent]. In addition, [Name of Plaintiff] must have changed position to [his/her]
