question 9

Explanation:

To make a goal powerful, using the SMART criteria (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time - bound) is helpful. The original goal of “being healthier” is vague. Option D suggests making it measurable by defining what “healthier” means (e.g., losing a certain amount of weight, lowering cholesterol). Option A: The goal already has a 3 - month timeline, and “more realistic expectation” is not as direct as making it measurable. Option B: The goal already has a 3 - month deadline, and “allowing more time” goes against the original timeline. Option C: “Making it interesting” is not a core SMART criterion for a powerful goal compared to measurability. So the best choice is D.

Answer:

D. Make it measurable by stating what it means to be healthier
