Hi,

Is it Ok to say ''ultimate intention''. Please check the rest of the sentence. Thanks

A skilful and well-prepared negotiator will relatively easy recognize those techniques and accept them as such, and will not allow them to shake his confidence, which is most often the ultimate/final intention of those who use such tricks.

Hello,

thank you for your post. Is ''relatively easy'' wrong?Or just akward?

The "easy" needs to be "easily" - it is an adverb modifying the verb recognize.
