Vocabulary
corroborate/back up
Hello,
Here's the original sentence: Recent research corroborated his theory.
To me that suggests that the results of the research were consistent with his theory. On the other hand, back up would work for me as well. I think they are quite similar in meaning, but back up is probably more informal.
