Considering how I use 'highlight' a lot, here are some straight synonyms for that - straight synonyms, as in, you can directly substitute these words in place of 'highlight' without changing the sentence structure:

illustrates
illuminates
expounds
depicts
signifies
exemplifies
epitomises
underscores
establishes
expresses
reveals
indicates

Likewise, for 'reinforce':
punctuates
reiterates
accentuates, enhances (perhaps followed by 'the perception of...')
underlines
emphasises

Try to get hold of essays from someone who scored 50 and just read them. Ask your teachers - they should have heaps on hand. Also go to the State Library and read books about your texts. They often have good vocabulary used in the right context.
