Which term describes 'trying to achieve what another person is trying to achieve'?

• A. Cooperation
• B. Sport
• C. Socialisation
• D. Competition

Answer: (D)

Competition is about rivalry and trying to beat others who are aiming for the same outcome. In sport and PE, it describes when two individuals or teams pursue the same goal and success is measured by how one fares against the other. The key idea is contest and opposing aims—you’re pushing to outperform the other person or team. Cooperation would be working with someone toward a shared objective, not against them. Socialisation is about learning how to behave and interact in a group. Sport is the broad activity that can be competitive or non-competitive, but the term that specifically captures the act of striving to achieve what someone else is trying to achieve is competition.
