The three extracts from the student's draft show probklems that the student has within a relatively short stretch of text with the expression Show an increase/decrease.
During the consultation we looked briefly at some typical examples of the expression in use as shown by the following citations:

Placebo-formula-fed infants showed an increase in arachidonic acid between 6 and 30 weeks 8 FLAT Study and the Umea Study showed an increase in vascular events among those enrollees w 9 taking the drug. Most patients showed a rapid increase in the number of CD4 lymphocytes, the 10 ems, including asthma, which is showing a rapid increase in incidence in many Western countri 11 ntarctic. All of these sections show a similar positive increase in dl3C during the 200 kyr i 12 the research.

The first extract from the draft shows a problem with the transitivity of the expression, the student attempting a passive construction. The second and third extracts show problems with the collocating verb, have, and give being used instead of show. In that context, give does collocate with decrease/increase, but with the meaning of 'cause', 'lead to' rather than 'exhibit', 'demonstrate'.
