Means-Ends Analysis process centers around the detection of difference between the current state and the goal state. Once such a difference is found, then to reduce the difference one applies ____________.
- A.
a forward search that can reduce the difference
- B.
a backward search that can reduce the difference
- C.
a bidirectional search that can reduce the difference
- D.
an operator that can reduce the difference
Attempted by 95 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Means–Ends Analysis works by:
Comparing current state with goal state
Finding the difference
Selecting an operator that reduces the difference
So it does not choose forward/backward search — it chooses an action (operator) that minimizes the gap.
Correct Answer
D. an operator that can reduce the difference\boxed{\text{D. an operator that can reduce the difference}}D. an operator that can reduce the difference
Short concept:
Means–Ends Analysis = difference → choose operator → reduce difference
