 ## Introduction

-It is on all `verify()` methods, as an optional parameter.
+ApprovalTests has many `verify...()` functions that need the same optional parameters, of which there are many. Instead of overloading every `verify...()` function in the same way, over and over, we put those options into an `Options` object that all the `verify...()` functions can take as an optional parameter.
