Bloom's Evaluating level includes which verbs?

• A. Create, Imagine, Design, Plan
• B. Describe, Relate, Tell, Find
• C. Use, Illustrate, Complete, Solve
• D. Identify, Compare, Explain, Categorize

Answer: (A)

Evaluating is about judging value, quality, or effectiveness based on criteria and evidence. In this level, you’ll see verbs that require making a judgment or defending a position, such as evaluate, assess, justify, critique, defend, argue, compare, decide, or recommend. The verbs Create, Imagine, Design, and Plan are about generating something new or proposing a solution, which aligns with the creating/synthesis end of Bloom’s taxonomy rather than evaluating. So, those action words signal a different level focused on production and reconstruction, not on judging value.
