Hello,

I have a question about the use of "display" in the following sentence:

"those aqueous protocols displayed a restricted scope since they were largely limited by the nature of the substrates"

Maybe I'm wrong but for me "display" has some kind of possitive connotation, so I don't know if "to display a restricted scope" (a negative feature) sounds right or I should be using another verb.

thanks in advance 👁 Smile :)

To display is merely to show or evince. There is nothing wrong with its usage in your example.

Thank you stezza, and what about "exhibited" instead of "displayed"?

I think you should stick to displayed in this case, really.
