Which Destiny Beliefs statement expresses that relationships are meant to be?

• A. They are meant to be
• B. Relationships are a matter of destiny
• C. Two romantic partners are either soulmates and will live happily ever after
• D. Destiny beliefs are predetermined

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that fate or a sense of inevitability underlies how some people view relationships. The phrase “They are meant to be” directly expresses that a relationship will come together because it’s destined or preordained. It uses the everyday language of fate in a relationship context, signaling that the match or connection is considered appropriate or intended from the start.

While other statements touch on destiny, they’re not as direct about a specific relationship being destined. Saying relationships are “a matter of destiny” is more abstract and broad, not as tightly tied to the idea that a particular pairing is meant to occur. Claiming that two partners are “soulmates and will live happily ever after” adds a strongest form of certainty and a specific outcome that goes beyond the simpler notion of being meant to be. Saying destiny beliefs are predetermined shifts away from relationships altogether and toward belief systems. So the simplest, most direct way to express that relationships are meant to be is the line that says they are meant to be.
