Paragraph 1: Many people have big dreams. But they have no idea how to achieve them. A big dream can become a reality with hard work and a good plan. However, many people fail to plan, so their dreams remain just that-dreams. If you want to make your dreams come true, you must first learn how to set goals. Think of a goal as a destination. To reach your destination, you must first create a travel plan. You must figure out how to get from your dream to your goal. You'll need to plan carefully and work hard. But it can be done. All you need is a map to guide you along the way.
Title: What Is a Goal?
Paragraph 2: A goal is something that can be achieved through focused effort. There are many types of goals. It's common for people to work on more than one goal at a time. For example, Moussa might have two big goals that are equally important-he really wants to earn a starting position on his local soccer team, and he also wants to get a B or better in math. To reach these goals, he'll need to break down each one into manageable chunks so that he won't get overwhelmed and can enjoy small successes on the way to achieving the main goals.
Based on paragraph 2, which two statements are true about goals?
A They are best accomplished just one at a time.
B They are best achieved by focusing on them.
C They may need to be broken down into smaller steps.
D They apply mainly to a person's schoolwork.
C They may need to be broken down into smaller steps.
D They apply mainly to a person's schoolwork.

The two statements that are true about goals based on paragraph 2 are:
B They are best achieved by focusing on them.
C They may need to be broken down into smaller steps.
The correct answers are B and C.
Explanation:
In paragraph 2, it is mentioned that goals can be achieved through focused effort, indicating that goals are best achieved by focusing on them. This aligns with statement B.
Additionally, it is mentioned that to reach goals, they need to be broken down into manageable chunks so that the person doesn't get overwhelmed and can enjoy small successes along the way. This supports statement C.
Statement A, that goals are best accomplished just one at a time, is not supported by the paragraph as it mentions that it is common for people to work on more than one goal at a time.
Statement D, that goals apply mainly to a person's schoolwork, is not supported by the paragraph either. While the example given mentions one goal related to schoolwork (getting a B or better in math), it also mentions another goal unrelated to schoolwork (earning a starting position on the soccer team). Therefore, goals can apply to various aspects of a person's life, not just their schoolwork.
