Hey there!

The correct variant in a sentence depends on the variety of English you are using. "Analysing" is the British English spelling, whereas "analyzing" is the American English spelling.

However, it's worth noting that either spelling is considered correct in both varieties of English, so it ultimately comes down to personal preference or the style guide you are following.

So, for example, if you are in the UK or Australia, you might prefer to use "analysing" in your written work or communication. On the other hand, if you are in the US or Canada, "analyzing" would be the more commonly used spelling.

Ultimately, as long as you are consistent in your use throughout your piece of writing, either option is perfectly acceptable.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
