Which word describes things you wish for or would like to have?

• A. Values
• B. Wants
• C. Virtues
• D. Norms

Answer: (B)

Desire or wish is the idea being tested here. The word that describes things you wish for or would like to have is wants. It refers to things you would like to obtain or experience, even if they aren’t essential. Values are the beliefs about what is important or good, guiding choices and behavior. Virtues are moral qualities like honesty or courage. Norms are the accepted behaviors or rules a group follows. So for expressing everyday wishes or desired possessions, wants is the best fit. For example, you might want a new video game (a want), while you might value fairness, strive to show virtues like kindness, and follow norms like taking turns in class.
