Question:

Choose the correct meaning of the word 'intent' from the options given below.

Options:

strength

sharp

purpose

extremity

Correct Answer:

purpose

Explanation:
 

The correct meaning of the word 'intent' is purpose.

"Intent" means "having a purpose or aim; determined." It is often used to describe someone's intentions or goals.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • "Strength" means "the quality or state of being strong; physical power."
  • "Sharp" means "having a keen edge or point."
  • "Extremity" means "the furthest point or limit."

Therefore, the only correct meaning of the word 'intent' is "purpose".
