For question1:

According to my dictionary,

evidence = prove sth by evidence
demonstrate = show sth clearly by giving evidence
illustrate = explain sth clear by examples, etc.

Therefore, all 3 words are suitable.

For question2:
According to my dictionary,

so: used to avoid repetition
Eg, "Is he coming?", "I think so"

that: used to specify a thing

Eg, "Do you remember going to Norwat?", That was a good holiday"

Therefore, I believe all 2 are suitable.

However, i would like to hear other people's opinion.

Thanks

Yes. Or you could just say 'As shown by . . . '.

For question2:

According to my dictionary,

so: used to avoid repetition

Eg, "Is he coming?", "I think so"

that: used to specify a thing

Eg, "Do you remember going to Norwat?", That was a good holiday"

Therefore, I believe all 2 are suitable.

No. Use 'that'. What you are really saying is 'In recognition of my good knowledge'.

Use 'so' as a substitute for a clause. eg

I know she loves me because she told me that she loves me.

I know she loves me because she told me so.
