Extend (What are other synonyms for it?) I would like to find some synonyms for the word "extend" in the following context. So, how can I say the same without using the verb "extend." Examples: 1. Extend your arms. 2. Extend your legs I wonder if It is correct to use "hold out." For example, 3. Hold out your arms. 4. Hold out your legs If "hold out" is correct, are there more ways to say that?
