What does it mean to classify items?

To find differences
To arrange or organize by classes
To state or set forth the meaning of a word
To repeat the words from memory

The correct answer is: To arrange or organize by classes

To classify items means to arrange or organize them by their characteristics or categories, which is exactly what choice B states. This process involves identifying similarities and differences among items, allowing for a systematic grouping based on shared features. For example, when classifying animals, one might sort them into categories like mammals, reptiles, and birds, each based on specific traits. The other choices do not accurately capture the essence of classification. Finding differences relates more to comparing items rather than organizing them into groups. Stating the meaning of a word refers to defining terms, which is related to vocabulary rather than classification. Repeating words from memory involves recall and does not pertain to the process of organizing or categorizing items. This clarity around what classification entails reinforces why arranging or organizing by classes is the accurate interpretation of the term.
