zonder *ten toon te spreiden*
without *showing*


Explanation:
"zonder een uitgesproken voorkeur *ten toon te spreiden*":

"without *showing*/displaying any pronounced/clear/evident preference"

Evidently our pronounced preference goes to the clear *showing*, rather than the (somewhat exaggerated?) 'displaying'.
Hence, in our opinion, the points should go to our colleague initiating 'to show'.

Slight mistake in our confidence rate.
Who cares anyway?
