Which term means to identify the question, issue to solve, or decision to make?

• A. Encourage
• B. Iterate
• C. Fail-Forward
• D. Clarify

Answer: (D)

Clarify means to make the question, issue to solve, or decision to make clear. When you clarify, you pin down exactly what needs to be answered or decided, which guides every later step. Practically, this involves restating the problem in your own words, identifying what's unknown, and setting the boundaries of the task so everyone understands the goal from the start. This focus helps prevent actions that miss the real issue.

Encourage is about providing support or motivation to act, not defining the problem. Iterate is about repeating and refining steps, not identifying the initial question. Fail-Forward centers on learning from mistakes and moving ahead, which again isn’t about pinpointing the problem to solve.
