Attempt to determine and resolve the reason for the engine failure.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Attempt to determine and resolve the reason for the engine failure.

Bottom line

An in-flight engine failure during cruise generally allows more time for diagnosis, and a logical and orderly check of gauges, switches, and systems may rectify the problem without resorting to engine feathering. Confirmation on the engine gauges may or may not be possible, depending upon the failure mode. As with any single-engine operation, declare an emergency with Air Traffic Control.
