Question

But goals without rewards are like pancakes without maple syrup: hard to swallow and a lot less sweet.

A It is easier to earn rewards when the goals are interesting.

B It is difficult to pay attention to a goal when you’re hungry.

C It is easier to achieve a goal when there is a reward.

D It is difficult to achieve small rewards like pancakes with syrup.

Answer 1

C

The metaphor says goals lacking rewards are unappealing and harder to accept — i.e., having a reward makes achieving a goal easier/more motivating.
