🎉 正解 / Correct!
使い分け解説:
- 展覧会: A formal event where art, historical artifacts, products, or other items are displayed for public viewing. Often used for art or cultural exhibits, similar to 展示会 (tenjikai) but often with a more artistic connotation.
- 顕示: Means to clearly show or manifest something, often an abstract quality, power, or hidden ability. 「見せる」よりもフォーマルで、表面に現れる、はっきりと示すといった意味合いが強い。
