Question

the purpose of assigning a number to each of the consequences in a grid analysis is to ______.
a. allow the consequences to be ranked chronologically
b. allow the consequences to be put in numerical order
c. allow the consequences to be weighed and measured
d. allow the consequences to be eliminated through subtraction

please select the best answer from the choices provided

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

• Option a: Grid analysis for consequences isn't about chronological ranking (time - order), so a is wrong.
• Option b: Assigning numbers in grid analysis isn't for just putting in numerical order (like 1,2,3... without meaning), so b is wrong.
• Option c: In grid analysis, assigning numbers to consequences is to weigh (give relative importance) and measure their impact, which makes sense.
• Option d: Grid analysis doesn't eliminate consequences through subtraction, so d is wrong.

Answer:

C. Allow the consequences to be weighed and measured
