Why does the author use the word determined in this sentence from the passage? In an officer’s training program in college, I learned I would not be eligible to fly for the military because of problems with my eyesight, but I was determined to fulfill my dream anyway. to emphasize the strength of his desire to become a pilot to show that he was willing to do the impossible to suggest that only he, and no one else, inspired his goal to imply that he achieved the goal he set out to achieve

To emphasize the strength of his desire to become a pilot.

Explanation:

So, the passage is about this person learning that he can't become a pilot for the military because of their bad eyesight but they are trying to do so anyway. The word "determined" means they are going to do whatever it takes as long as they reach their goal. Let's go over the answers.

1: To emphasize the strength of his desire to become a pilot.

This is exactly what the narrator was talking about. He used the word "determined" to showcase how badly he wanted the job and how he was going to try to go and achieve their goal.

2: To show that he was willing to do the impossible.

I don't think that it's impossible to be a pilot with bad eyesight but it's improbable(not likely). I mean, if the narrator shows that he is  capable of flying even with poor eyesight, then it could be possible that he becomes a pilot.

3: To suggest that only he, and no one else, inspired his goal.

While his goal is to fly, using the word "determined" doesn't suggest that he is the only one who inspired to do so. The narrator could have a hero that he looks up to and wants to be just like them, so he wants to be a pilot.

4: To imply that he achieved the goal he set out to achieve.

Even though flying is his goal, using the word "determined" does not imply that he achieved their goal. It just meant that he was going to do his best to achieve his goal, not that he actually achieved it.

So, the answer is 1: To emphasize the strength of his desire to become a pilot.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
