: Concordo com o explicado acima. Deve ter ocorrido um erro gráfico. Não existe a palavra (verbo) "pecularizar" O vocábulo deve ser "peculiarizar" in English: Become peculiar.

specify it
Significa dizer que os mecanismos seguintes, uma vez integrados (subsumidos) ao primeiro, tornam-o "singular", "único", "específico". Daí, minha sugestão: "specify it" or "make it unique". É minha sugestão. Espero que ajude...

the phrasing would be: set it out

idiomatic way of saying "distinguish it as the best of all options" and totally understandable to native speakers of English

you could also go with "apart" (same idea)
If a characteristic sets you apart from other people, it makes you different from the others in a noticeable way.
