Correct choices: 1, 2, and 4.

- 1 is a valid rendering of the SMART acronym (often given as Specific, Measurable, Achievable/Action‑oriented, Relevant, Time‑bound).
- 2 correctly describes "Specific" — goals/questions should be focused on a single topic or closely related ideas.
- 4 correctly describes "Relevant" — goals/questions should matter and be significant to the problem.

Statement 3 is misleading: "Time‑bound" means a goal has a clear deadline or timeframe, not that it prescribes how many hours analysts must work on a project.
