Vocabulary
corroborate/elucidate/unequivocal
I used the above three words in my sentences. Could you please check if they sound ok?
Stempeding into the room, Maria hollered, "You read my diary, Ryan? Elucidate the motive for your behaviour." she demanded. "Never would I read something as private as one's diary." interposed Ryan. Can you corroborate your accusation?" asked Ryan. "I know how I left my diary." retorted Maria. "Besides, the unequivocal look of mockery in your eyes is sufficiant corroboration for me." Maria said emphatically.
Thank you very much
