Answer 1

Answer:

A. Only (ii) and (iii)

The Revised Bloom's Taxonomy levels are: Remember, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, and Create.

Statement	Associated Level	Rationale
(i) Can you defend your position about...?	Evaluate	Stems like defend, judge, justify, support, and critique require making and defending judgments based on criteria.
(ii) Can you suggest a possible solution to...?	Create	Stems like suggest, design, develop, hypothesize, and construct require putting elements together to form a coherent or functional whole.
(iii) How many ways can you...?	Analyze / Create	Stems like compare, contrast, classify, and differentiate are Analyze. Stems like devise, invent, or generate (which this implies) are Create. It is definitely not Evaluate.
(iv) How would you feel if...?	Understand / Affective Domain	This stem is generally used to gauge personal understanding or empathy (a function of the Affective Domain in education) and is not a cognitive function of the Evaluate level, which focuses on judgment based on evidence.
