How to use enlargement in a sentence?

1. Dartmouth College anthropologist Jeremy DeSilva:

   Our science has known for decades that upright walking, bipedalism, preceded brain enlargement over the course of human evolution. But never before has it been so obvious. Homo naledi possessed a strikingly modern human-like foot, even though its brain was only about one-third the size of our brains today.

2. William Catalona:

   We don’t know what causes benign prostatic enlargement, it’s one of the great mysteries, and we really wish we did because it’s such a prevalent condition, sometimes men need to get up every hour at night.

3. Hungarian Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto:

   If NATO does not continue the enlargement process that would also erode NATO's credibility significantly.

4. Samuel Johnson:

   Every quotation contributes something to the stability or enlargement of the language.

5. Maja Bobic:

   Our fear is that following Brexit the enlargement process could be slowed down.
