Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The question implies that there is a larger purpose or significance to our existence beyond our individual selves. This suggests that our lives, like words, make sense only in the context of the larger whole, rather than having predetermined meanings found in a dictionary. Option A is unlikely as nihilism is the rejection of any meaning or purpose in life. Option C is also unlikely as it suggests a fixed meaning, whereas life may have multiple meanings and interpretations. Option D limits the possibilities of our lives to a single goal, which is not necessarily true.
