Bloom's Analyzing level includes which verbs?

• B. Describe, Relate, Tell, Find
• C. Discuss, Outline, Explain, Predict
• D. Use, Illustrate, Complete, Solve

Answer: (A)

At analyzing level you break ideas into parts, examine how those parts relate, and show how they fit together. Verbs like identifying components, comparing elements to reveal similarities and differences, explaining how parts relate or cause effects, and categorizing items based on shared attributes are all actions that require dissecting information and mapping relationships. That combination—pulling apart a concept, analyzing relationships, and sorting into categories—best reflects analysis. Other verb choices tend to focus more on describing, recalling, or applying rather than analyzing the structure and connections within the information.
