Question 2 of 6beginner💡 UnderstandShort Answer2 marks

What steps did you take?

Correct Answer

The steps I took were: First, I observed the problem carefully.

Then, I asked myself why the problem was happening.

Next, I made a guess about the possible cause.

After that, I tested my guess by trying different solutions.

Finally, I analysed whether my solution worked or if I needed to try something else.

This step-by-step process helped me find the answer to my problem.
