Read the following two-paragraph draft.
Paragraph 1:
A research report includes statistical tables and a short recommendation for future study. The recommendation proposes another trial, while the tables document the current results.
Paragraph 2:
The supporting tables—not the final recommendation at the end of the report—[underlined portion]. Readers can use the data to evaluate the authors' interpretation.
Which verb phrase should replace the underlined portion to follow standard written English and retain the present-tense distinction between evidence and recommendation?
