problem. they often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. other times they begin to act without thinking. they try to find a solution by trial and error. however, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. there are six stages in analyzing a problem.first, the person must recognize that there is a problem. for example, sams bicycle is broken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.next, the thinker must define the problem. before sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. for instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears, the brakes, or the frame. he must make his problem more specific.now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. for instance, suppose sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. at this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about gears. he can talk to his friends at the bike shop. he can look at his gears carefully.after studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. take sam as an illustration. his suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels.eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. he immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels.finally the solution is tested. sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. in short , he has solved the problem.1.what is the best title for this passage? a. six stages for repairing

fastfood chain with 200 restaurants. some years ago, the group to which sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. although sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an

the hearts of potential customers.pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new sparrow image. for example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which

chains.73for what purpose did pearson start the advertising campaign?ato build a good relationship with the public.bto stress the unusual
