Hi

Thank you for your prompt reply.+1

Dear Nikoo, peruse means to read something specially in a careful way. and it doesn`t mean sift . and also, analyze means to examine something carefully,especially detailed information about something, so that you can understand it.

Answer 3

sift=to examine information,documents,etc carefully in order to find something out or decide what is important and what is not. for example: police are sifting through the evidence. بررسی و گزینش کردن، سبک سنگین کردن،حلاجی کردن، متمایز کردن their job was to sift out truth from propaganda. کار آنها این بود که واقعیات را از تبلیغات متمایز کنند، سبک سنگین کنند. Information is off little importance unless you know how to sift it. اطلاعات ارزش چندانی ندارد مگر اینکه بدانی چگونه آن را حلاجی کنی .
