Hi, It's hard to say without more context. What were 'these measures'. The word by itself suggest 'actions taken to achieve some goal'.

Hi,

Sometimes I think learners here may not realize how commonly the words please and thank you are used in English.

It would be hard for me to ask someone a question without using them. Is it the same or different in your language (please)?
