Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
For Part A, "turning to fresh tasks" implies moving on to new tasks, leaving old ones behind, which is best captured by "easily moving from old tasks to new ones". For Part B, "forget his handiwork" suggests leaving behind the previous work (old tasks) which supports the idea of moving to new tasks.
# Answer:
Part A: 3. easily moving from old tasks to new ones
Part B: 2. "forget his handiwork" (Line 36)
