Why it's built this way
The notes match the numbers above.
- 1tal y como = just as: it points the reader to a figure or source. Also tal como. Formal register: impersonalisation, nominalisation and correspondence →
- 2muestra here is the verb mostrar (o → ue), not the noun la muestra; its subject, la figura 3, follows. Present tense: stem-changing verbs (e → ie, o → ue, e → i, u → ue) →
- 3duplicarse = to double: pronominal se for a change that happens by itself; present perfect for a recent trend. Accidental se and the middle voice →
