single out, structure, highlight, group, pair, merge, 
harmonize, synthesize, focus, organize, condense, 
reduce, boil down, choose, categorize, catalog, classify, 
list, abstract, scan, look into, idealize, isolate, 
discriminate, distinguish, screen, pigeonhole, pick over, 
sort, integrate, blend, inspect, filter, lump, skip,

outline, summarize, itemize, review, dip into, 
flip through, browse, glance into, leaf through, skim, 
refine, enumerate, glean, synopsize, winnow the wheat 
from the chaff and separate the sheep from the goats.
