Command, directive or key words
Examination questions contain a wide variety of different command words. These are the words that tell you what sort of
answer is expected for each question. In Business Studies they suggest to you which skills are being tested. Different command
words will be used to encourage you to demonstrate knowledge and understanding; application and analysis; and evaluation.
Note that there is a large number of these command words and only the main ones are explained here
