1. show

   The phrase battle array or array of battle is archaic and poetic; we now say in line or order of battle. The parade is for exhibition and oversight, and partial rehearsal of military manual and maneuvers. Array refers to a continuous arrangement of men, so that all may be seen or reviewed at once. This is practically impossible with the vast armies of our day. We say rather the disposition of troops, which expresses their location so as to sustain and support, though unable to see or readily communicate with each other. Compare DRESS.

   Synonyms:
   army, arrangement, array, battle array, collection, disposition, exhibition, line of battle, order, order of battle, parade, sight

1. Dan Gainor:

   Guthrie didn’t do awful. But her delivery was just kind of flat. She mostly seemed to be focused on reading the material and didn’t seem comfortable. Perhaps she’ll do better over time, but remember, the ‘Today’ show lost 600,000 viewers after she replaced the more popular Ann Curry.

2. Vicente Lim:

   If we desire the respect of other nations, we must show them that we are exerting all efforts to build a nation not only strong in arms but unconquerable in spirit. An indomitable will to fight & an unflinching resolution to defend at all costs life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness are the fundamental characteristics of any nation that deserves to survive.

3. Johann von Goethe:

   A life without love, without the presence of the beloved, is nothing but a mere magic-latern show. We draw out slide after slide, swiftly tiring of each, and pushing it back to make haste for the next.

4. Yvonne Maldonado:

   If this were a seasonal virus, I would say we’re all good because it would only show up once a year, but we just haven’t developed a real pattern of circulation for this virus. So it is a little risky to go through the next few months waiting for a fall booster.

5. Purvi Raniga:

   When we show selfless love and kindness to our children, they become more compassionate individuals and kindness reflects in their behaviour naturally.
