Bloom's Taxonomy identifies six cognitive levels. Which option lists all six levels?

• A. Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing
• B. Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, Creating
• C. Observing, Analyzing, Creating
• D. Remembering, Recalling, Understanding, Evaluating

Answer: (B)

Bloom's Taxonomy maps thinking from basic recall to higher-order thinking. The six levels in the current framework are Remembering, Understanding, Applying, Analyzing, Evaluating, Creating. The list that includes all six terms exactly matches these levels, making it the best choice. The other options miss one or more levels or use terms not part of Bloom's taxonomy (for example, Observing or Recalling, or terms from older editions like Knowledge or Comprehension). In practice, recognizing these six levels helps you design questions that start with remembering facts and progress toward creating new ideas.
