English term or phrase: to know
The phisical motive is to know how PR do the works.

Selected answer:in this case, to understand
Explanation:
But the sentence itself does not make good sense. Why "physical" motive? I suppose it means to understand how public relations operate, but why should this be described as a "motive"?
