Discuss It means to make observations about something using facts, reasoning, and argument; to present in some detail.

Describe It means to illustrate something in words or tell about it. Justify It means to point out; to set forth clearly a position or idea by stating it and giving data to support it. Explain It means to make plain or understandable; to give reasons for or causes of; to show the logical development or relationships of.

Rank It means to give a relative position or degree of value in a group, society or argument. Trace It means to find a surviving mark, sign, or evidence of the former existence, influence, or action of some agent or event.
