A group of farm workers normally pick 10,000 kilograms of cherries during a regular eight-hour shift. Joe, the operations manager, decides he will provide each picker in the group with a meaningful monetary reward if the farm workers are able to meet a new "stretch goal" of 12,500 kilograms per eight-hour shift? Which of the following terms best describes this new "stretch goal"?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "stretch goal" implies an increase in the original goal, hence the answer choice B, "goal plus," is the best description of this new target. Answer choice A, "standard plus," suggests an increase in the standard level of performance, which may not apply in this case. Answer choice C, "goal level," is not accurate as the new target is higher than the original goal. Answer choice D, "red circle plus," is not relevant to the context of the question.
