If a student sets a goal by looking at friends’ choices, what is the biggest risk?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: The goal may not match the student’s interest and ability
A goal chosen mainly by observing friends may reflect their interests, abilities, opportunities, or values rather than the student’s own. If there is little personal fit, commitment and persistence may decrease when difficulties arise. Friends can offer ideas, but self-awareness and realistic evaluation should guide the final choice. Thus A states the main risk.
