Is the word "reach" correct?

[cnjackie88]

We don't have a specific idea of where we want to reach and what we want to become in life.

In this sentence, is the word "reach" correct?

 

[tedmc]

Yes, I think "where we want to reach" means our destination or goal, but is rather general.

It‘s a test question from Middle School Entrance Examination.


The passage gives the first letter of the word. I'm not sure about No.68.

It‘s a test question from a/the Middle School Entrance Examination.

If there's just one such examination in China, use "the". If there's more than one, use "a".

The passage gives the first letter of the word. I'm not sure about No.68.

I can't think of anything other than "reach" that would naturally fit there.

Neither can I, and I can't find that extract here, either, even after using Control F and searching for 'Alice'.

I found the excerpt on the same site you were on, by using CMD F (on a Mac) and searching for "depends".
The quote ends with the "Then it doesn't matter which way you go" line, although the original ends "said the Cat" and the version in post #4 ends "replied the cat". There are a couple of other differences between the two.

We don't have a specific idea of where we want to reach...

I think the underlined part is not natural, though possible. "Our destinations/goals" would have been better.

“Reach” here is a transitive verb, while "where" is an adverb.
Can they be put together?

 

[tedmc]

where we want to reach = the place(noun) we want to reach

 

[emsr2d2]

where we want to reach = the place space here (noun) we want to reach

@tedmc Remember to put a space before an opening bracket. I've edited a couple of your posts silently to correct this error but I suspect you haven't noticed the explanation that should come up in your notifications.
