An individual's goal or fixed intention is referred to as which of the following?

Desire
Objective
Ambition
Purpose

The correct answer is: Purpose

The term that best describes an individual's goal or fixed intention is "purpose." Purpose encompasses the overarching reason and motivation behind a person's actions and goals. It reflects a deep-seated intention that guides decisions and behaviors, allowing individuals to align their actions with their core values and long-term aspirations. Desire refers to a strong feeling of wanting or wishing for something, but it may not necessarily connote a structured or stable purpose behind the wish. Objective typically suggests a specific, measurable target that one is aiming to achieve, but it lacks the broader context of an individual’s intent. Ambition implies a strong drive to achieve success or a specific goal, but it can be considered more about the desire for achievement than a defined purpose that includes emotional or philosophical elements. Therefore, purpose stands out as the most comprehensive term for a person's fixed intention or overarching goal.
