When you use your senses to collect information about a situation, it is known as:

  1. Analyzing

  2. Noticing

  3. Thinking

  4. Observing

The correct answer is: Noticing

When you use your senses to collect information about a situation, whether it be through sight, smell, taste, touch, or sound, it is known as observing. Option A, analyzing, means to examine something in detail and is not specific to using your senses. Option C, thinking, involves using your mental processes to reason and make judgments, but it does not necessarily involve actively using your physical senses. Option D, noticing, is closely related to observing and could be considered correct, but observing specifically refers to using your senses in a deliberate and intentional manner to gather information.
