Model Answer

Yes, different persons can have different developmental goals.

Example: A landless rural labourer desires more days of work, better wages, and quality education for their children. In contrast, a prosperous farmer from Punjab wants higher support prices for crops and wishes to settle their children abroad. Thus, their aspirations are completely different.

Explanation

The examiner expects one clear example comparing two different categories of people with their contrasting goals. Quoting directly from Table 1.1 (landless labourers vs. prosperous farmers, or girl vs. boy from rich family) is ideal. Avoid vague statements — name the category and state their specific goal. The concluding line reinforcing the statement earns the second mark.
