Explanation
★Analysis means the ability to break a problem into its constituent parts, so that is the answer.
★In analysis a whole is divided so that each part can be studied on its own.
★This breaking down helps the learner examine and understand the structure of the problem.
★Combining the parts is the work of synthesis, which is the opposite operation.
★Doing both breaking and combining together does not define analysis by itself.
★Though analysis and synthesis are often used together, analysis by itself means dividing into parts.
