Question

the ______ is a strategy used in problem solving that ensures a solution if correctly applied and used.

○ algorithm
○ working backwards technique
○ the backward search
○ analogy heuristic
○ means - end analysis

Explanation:

An algorithm is a well - defined set of steps. When followed correctly, it guarantees a solution. Working backwards technique, backward search, analogy heuristic, and means - end analysis are problem - solving strategies but do not always ensure a solution like an algorithm does.

Answer:

algorithm
