I put in perinthesis the choices. I'm not sure which ones. If you would just tell me which word, that's be great.

The way the words were used and the EFFECTS that occured showed how powerful the use of words CAN be....
I wouldn't end the sentence with a verb (be).
Effects is a result of something.
Affects is having an impact on something.

The proper wording word be EFFECTS. Effect is defined as a result or a consequence, whereas AFFECT is defined as producing an effect. To affect is to concern. To effect is to accomplish or bring about something. CAN would be the next choice since you are talking about the USE as singular. I think this is right.

Effects. This is the noun. Affects is a verb.

"Effect" is a noun; "affect" is a verb.
"Could" is conditional and past tenses.
Use a semicolon if the second clause expounds upon the first.
