Question

which steps should occur before taking action in the problem-solving process? select three answers.
□ gathering information
□ implementing decisions
□ considering options
□ weighing disadvantages
□ evaluating the solution

Explanation:

To determine the steps before taking action (implementing decisions) in problem - solving:

• "Gathering information" is a preliminary step to understand the problem.
• "Considering options" involves brainstorming possible solutions.
• "Weighing disadvantages" (along with advantages) helps in evaluating options. "Implementing decisions" is the action step itself, and "evaluating the solution" comes after implementation. So the three steps before action are gathering information, considering options, and weighing disadvantages.

Answer:

• gathering information
• considering options
• weighing disadvantages
