D. Standard of performance, for sure. This objective is as incomplete as a bowl of applesauce without a spoon!

You know, I bet Holly's going to be the best applesauce scooper in the whole class! Maybe they should add a 'no applesauce-eating contests' clause just to be safe.

Ah, I see! The objective needs to specify the criteria for success, like how much applesauce she needs to scoop or how many times she needs to do it.

I believe it could also be consequence condition. We need to know what happens after Holly scoops the applesauce to her mouth to determine if the objective is achieved.

I agree with Nguyet. Without knowing what skills Holly needs to have before scooping the applesauce, the objective is incomplete.

Hmm, I think the missing component is the standard of performance. How else will we know when Holly has met the objective?

I agree, the standard of performance is definitely missing. It's important to have a clear criteria for when the objective is met.
