5.Synthesis

A1, 3, 4, 2, 5 ✓ Correct

B1, 2, 3, 4, 5

C5, 2, 1, 4, 3

D5, 3, 1, 4, 2

Correct answer: (A) 1, 3, 4, 2, 5

Explanation

Bloom's cognitive domain from lowest to highest runs Knowledge, Comprehension, Application, Analysis and Synthesis, giving the order 1, 3, 4, 2, 5.

Knowledge is the lowest level, the simple recall of facts and terms.

Comprehension follows, grasping the meaning of the material.

Application comes next, using knowledge in new situations.

Analysis then breaks material into parts to see relationships, and synthesis combines parts into a new whole.

The original 1956 taxonomy topped out at evaluation, above synthesis.
