Which term is a guiding aim or intention?

• A. Purpose in life
• B. Commitments
• C. Seasons in poetry
• D. Backbiter

Answer: (A)

A guiding aim or intention is the purpose in life. Purpose gives you a sense of meaning and direction, acting like a compass that shapes your choices, priorities, and actions toward long-term goals. When you have a purpose in life, everyday decisions are guided by that overarching aim, making your efforts feel connected and purposeful. The other terms don’t fit this idea: commitments are duties or promises you uphold, not the overarching direction behind all your actions; seasons in poetry is a literary concept; a backbiter describes a person who speaks ill of others.
