    What does the examiner look for when she asks questions like:
    Identify and explain business risks in a given scenario, or
    Identify and explain principal business risks?

    What is the difference in requirements between the 2 questions ?

    in very simple language …. identify means point out the risk. Explain means “Why is it a risk” or “Explain why the risk ( which you have identified ) is in fact a risk

    Does that help?

    It may help you to look at suggested solutions to this type of question and see the layout and how the identification and the explanation can be fitted into an answer
