Explanation:

First Question: Why is it important for a goal to be Relevant?

• Option a: A relevant goal connects to one's values/needs, making it meaningful.
• Option b: Relevance doesn’t make goals harder; it aligns them, so b is wrong.
• Option c: Deadlines relate to "Time - bound" in SMART goals, not Relevance, so c is wrong.
• Option d: Measurability is a separate SMART criterion (Measurable), not Relevance, so d is wrong.

• Option a: Specificity is about clarity, not ease of accomplishment, so a is wrong.
• Option b: A specific goal clearly defines what is to be achieved (e.g., "I will write 500 words daily" vs "I will write more").
• Option c: Multiple steps relate to "Action - oriented" or "Attainable" (planning), not Specificity, so c is wrong.
• Option d: Deadlines are for "Time - bound", not Specificity, so d is wrong.

Answer:

a. It ensures the goal is meaningful to you
