 What is the difference between those words? I know they are somewhat similiar. But can you tell me exactly in which context they should be used ? Particularly, which words should be used in an essay ? Sorry for the silly question.  |

| Re: What is the difference between those words? zoom- can mean 'move fast'- prices zoomed up. Also used in photography. Not for academice writing IMO surge- sudden rise, especially when unexpected - can be used in essays rise- basic term for going up- doesn't give idea about speed- can be used in essays grow- basic term for increase in size- no idea of rate or amount- can be used in essays increas- same as above jump- go up fast- OK for essays, but I'd use surge/soar soar- go up very high- can be used in essays  |
