1. Tony is hoping to be selected for the all-county basketball team. He sets himself the goal of improving his free throw percentage from 70 to 74%, and in that way he hopes to try for the all-county basketball team. The best statement to describe Tony´s goal would be: A: Tony´s goal is effective because it is measurable, attainable, and has a clear deadline. Tony shows in the way that he plans his goal that he knows exactly what would be expected of him to enter the all-county basketball team and his goal of going up four points on his percentage is not really very high, which makes the goal realistic and attainable. He also is clear on the deadline he himself has to reach his goal, which shows that he has his ideas pretty clear and how to get to the. This is why the answer is the first option.
