1. Which of the following is a specific goal?

A. I will pass as many of my courses as possible.
B. I will finish my college degree.
C. I will devote Wednesday this week to work on my English research paper.
D. To become a doctor is my goal.

is it C

2. Which goal is realistic?
A. I will make $100,000 a year on my first job as a business major.
B. I will be a lawyer in three years after high school.
C. I can get by in college maintaining a grade point average of 2.5.
D. I will get an A average by studying no less than 30 hours a week.

is it C

C is the most specific of the four choices for the first question.

I guess C is right for the second question. A and B are unrealistic, but C may not be realistic either. Usually people need better than a 2.5 GPA to get into colleges or universities. D is possible, but not guaranteed.

For question 1, the correct answer is C. "I will devote Wednesday this week to work on my English research paper."

To determine the correct answer, you need to analyze the options and identify which one represents a specific goal. A specific goal is one that is clear, concrete, and focused.

Option A is not specific because it does not specify which courses the person wants to pass. It is a generalized statement.

Option B is more specific than option A, but it is still not as specific as option C. Finishing a college degree can involve multiple aspects, such as completing specific courses and requirements.

Option C is the most specific goal because it clearly states a specific day (Wednesday) and the specific task (working on the English research paper).

Option D is not a specific goal statement. It is a general statement about a long-term career aspiration, rather than a specific action to be taken.

For question 2, the correct answer is C. "I can get by in college maintaining a grade point average of 2.5."

To determine the realistic goal, you need to analyze the options and identify which one is achievable and practical. A realistic goal is one that is within reach and can be feasibly accomplished.

Option A may be unrealistic because earning $100,000 a year on a first job as a business major is not necessarily a typical starting salary. It may require significant experience and success in the field.

Option B may also be unrealistic because becoming a lawyer typically requires several years of education and training beyond high school.

Option C is the most realistic goal because maintaining a grade point average of 2.5 in college is a reasonable expectation for some students. It acknowledges that not all students will maintain a high GPA but still aims for satisfactory performance.

Option D may be realistic for some individuals who can commit to studying for at least 30 hours a week, but it may not be feasible for everyone depending on their other commitments and responsibilities.
