Question 7 • WI-English Language Arts 8 A

Which sentence tells about a present goal?

Answer
A

B
Nina is trying to raise her grade in American History from a B+ to an A.
C
In order to satisfy his parents, Ben will be cleaning his room all afternoon.
D
Bill and Terrence had hoped to get to the stadium before the game started.

Explanation

A present goal is something someone is currently working toward. Nina “is trying” to raise her grade, so this describes a goal she has now. The other choices describe something already accomplished, a future plan, or a hope in the past.
