Which term describes a goal with a reasonable chance of achieving a certain goal?

• A. Specific Goal
• B. Internship
• C. Realistic Goal
• D. Occupational Outlook Handbook (OOH)

Answer: (C)

Setting a goal that you have a reasonable chance to achieve helps you stay motivated and able to plan practical steps. A realistic goal means it’s feasible given your current skills, time, and resources, so you can map out concrete actions, monitor progress, and adjust as needed. When goals are realistic, you can see a clear path to completion, which sustains effort and reduces frustration.

In this context, the term that fits best is the one that describes a target you can reasonably accomplish. It’s about balance: challenging enough to be worthwhile, but not so far out of reach that success feels unlikely.

The other options don’t describe feasibility as directly. A goal that’s specific focuses on clarity and detail, not necessarily how likely you are to reach it. An internship is an opportunity, not a type of goal. A career information resource is a tool, not a goal descriptor.
