ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Set the engine controls, identify and verify the inoperative engine, and feather the appropriate propeller.

Bottom line

Identification should be primarily through the control inputs required to maintain straight flight, not the engine gauges. The “verify” step directs the pilot to retard the throttle of the engine thought to have failed. To feather the propeller, the propeller control is brought fully aft.
