The question asks: "What is one step the writer says to do?"
The options are:

1. Use a credit card.
2. Find a good bank.
3. Go to free activities.
4. Order inexpensive food.

Evaluate options against the text

• "Use a credit card": The text says "Using cash as much as possible instead of a credit card will help you spend less." This contradicts the option.
• "Find a good bank": The text says "Open a savings account at a bank", but does not mention finding a "good" bank.
• "Go to free activities": Under "Entertainment", the text says "Find free events in your city to go to." This matches "Go to free activities."
• "Order inexpensive food": Under "Entertainment", the text says "Bring your own food and drinks instead of ordering expensive food in restaurants." It does not say to order inexpensive food, but rather to bring your own.

Select the correct option

The option "Go to free activities" directly corresponds to the text's advice to "Find free events in your city to go to."

Answer:

• Use a credit card.
• Find a good bank.
• Go to free activities. (Correct answer)
• Order inexpensive food.
