A want is something that is essential for survival, such as food and medical care, and a need is something we desire

The answer is false. Something we need is NOT something we desire. It is something we n e e d for survival. A want is a desire, not something we actually need.

This is false, and the opposite is true!

A want, used as a noun, refers to something that is not necessary, but something that is wanted, desired only.

A need, in contrast, refers to something that is necessary, so it is not merely something that is wanted, but something that is very essential.
