classifying and sequencing methods evaluating and interpreting data developing multiple hypotheses predicting the most likely outcome
I gave my students this multiple choice question: In an investigation, which of these procedures is most important in reaching a conclusion?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- classifying and sequencing methods
- evaluating and interpreting data
- developing multiple hypotheses
- predicting the most likely outcome

Could you tell me which one is correct?

evaluating and interpreting data
