How many distinct goals are listed in the More Goals for Office line?

• A. 6
• B. 7
• C. 8
• D. 9

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is counting how many distinct objectives are listed in a line by identifying each separate item in the list. Treat each goal as its own item, separated by commas and the final one joined by “and.” If a phrase is a single objective even though it’s longer, count it as one item.

So, you read the line and count each distinct goal it names. When you apply that approach to the line in question, you arrive at eight separate items, each expressing a different objective. That’s why eight is the best answer. If you tried six, seven, or nine, you’d be aligning with a count that doesn’t match the actual number of listed goals.
