What is the first level listed in Bloom's Taxonomy?

• A. Knowledge
• B. Comprehension
• C. Application
• D. Analysis

Answer: (A)

Bloom's Taxonomy starts with a basic level focused on recall—remembering facts, terms, and simple concepts. This level, Knowledge, is about retrieving information you’ve learned without needing to explain or apply it yet. That makes it the correct starting point when the question asks for the first level listed: it identifies the foundational act of remembering. The other levels involve higher-order thinking—understanding contents, using information in new situations, and analyzing relationships—so they come after recall in the progression.
