Answer
A
Talia worked hard all year, but was unable to save up as much money as she wanted to.
B
Maurice was trying to become a Singer, but then he decided that pursuing an acting career would be more exciting.
C
Annika thought she wanted to be a Surgeon, but decided she didn’t want to go to school for that long.
D
Nasir did his best on his college application, but was not accepted to the school he wanted to attend.
E
Luca was planning to start his own business, but realized he didn’t want to supervise other workers after all.
F
Iris was working hard to pass an exam, but didn’t get the grade she hoped for.
Explanation
Motivational obstacles come from a change in interest or willingness to pursue parts of a career plan. Maurice lost interest in singing in favor of acting, Annika decided she was unwilling to spend so long in school, and Luca no longer wanted the responsibility of supervising workers. Talia’s savings, Nasir’s rejection, and Iris’s exam grade are financial or outcome-related obstacles, not changes in motivation.
