Explanation
Analysis means carefully studying something by breaking it into smaller parts to understand it better. When we do an analysis, we look at the details to find out how something works, what it means, or why something happened. For example, in school, you might do an analysis of a story to understand the characters and plot. In science, analysis helps to understand results. It’s like looking closely at something to get a deeper or clearer idea about it. People do analysis to make smart decisions or solve problems.
