Select the most appropriate meaning of the given idiom. Make a beeline for

CONCEPT: An idiom is a fixed expression whose overall meaning is a matter of convention and is fixed by standard dictionary usage, not derived word by word; answering an idiom-meaning question correctly means matching the idiom to its accepted figurative sense(s) in standard English usage, not to a literal or partial reading of the words in it.

APPLICATION: The idiom "make a beeline for" draws on the image of a bee flying in a straight, direct line toward a flower or its hive. Standard English usage records more than one accepted paraphrase of this single underlying sense: "to go straight for something," "to not deviate when moving forward," and "to remain focused on one goal" are all listed as recognized meanings of this idiom, because the core idea in every case is the same -- moving toward, or staying fixed on, exactly one target without turning aside to anything else. Among the four given options, "to remain focused on one goal" is this recognized, dictionary-listed paraphrase of the idiom.

CROSS-CHECK (why each other option does not match):

• "To remain ideal" is about maintaining a flawless or idealized state, not about any directed movement or attention toward a target.

• "To think divergent" is about thought spreading outward toward multiple different directions, which is the reverse of following a single direct line.

• "To remain in passive state" is about staying inactive and disengaged, which contradicts the deliberate, active thrust that "make a beeline" conveys.

• "To remain focused on one goal" matches the idiom's recognized undeviating, single-target sense.

RESULT: "To remain focused on one goal" is therefore the meaning that matches the idiom "make a beeline for."
