What are synonmys to the word "show"? HELP!

Vesayen · February 25, 2003, 22:01

My )(*&!#&()(&!## history teacher says that the word "show" is unacademic, so instead of using the word 'show' when apropriate I must pick some completley inapropriate word so it is academic!

SO far the ones I am using are:

Reveals
Demonstrates
Makes clear

I need more though........anyone else have any synonyms for show(s)?

not entirely:

Show (Verb)

show, exhibit, display

You can't give the same word as the definition.

We just take the thread in a different direction.

ACK!
