- (1) being the boss of your own business is not just for older grownups—
as a teenager, you can start your own business as a neighborhood
babysitter. (2) you can choose which jobs you take on, to be earning your
own money, and a résumé can even be built by you to share with
prospective clients. (3) as long as you’re old enough, you can babysit for
your siblings or for the kids down the street. (4) but a good babysitter
needs more than on - the - job training. (5) you need to be prepared.
- (6) a basic babysitting course introduces you to the needs of young
children and to what you need to know and do to handle those needs. (7)
little kids are hard work, and they don’t always come right out and tell
you what they need, so insider information like this is important. (8)
you’ll learn age - appropriate activities to keep kids from becoming bored
and how to make quick and healthy snacks for hungry bellies. (9) you’ll
also learn techniques for negotiating with stubborn kids who just refuse
- what is the most effective way to revise sentence 7?
- so insider information like this is important, little kids
are hard work, and they don’t always come right out
and tell you what they need.
- little kids are hard work, so insider information like this
is important, and they don’t always come right out and
tell you what they need.
- they don’t always come right out and tell you what
they need, so insider information like this is important,
and little kids are hard work.
To revise sentence 7 effectively, we need to ensure logical flow. The original idea is that little kids are hard work (reason) and don't always communicate needs (another reason), so insider info is important (conclusion). The option "They don't always come right out and tell you what they need, so insider information like this is important, and little kids are hard work" disrupts flow. The first option starts with "So insider info...", which is a conclusion first, then reasons, which is illogical. The second option: "Little kids are hard work, so insider information like this is important, and they don't always come right out and tell you what they need" – the "so" after "hard work" is illogical as hard work isn't the direct reason for insider info; the reason is their communication issue. The third option (the one with "They don't always... so insider info... and little kids...") also misorders. Wait, no, let's re - evaluate. Wait, the correct logical order should be: state the characteristics of little kids (hard work, don't communicate needs) and then draw the conclusion about insider info. Wait, the original sentence 7 (from the passage) is "Little kids are hard work, and they don't always come right out and tell you what you need, so insider information like this is important." Wait, the question is about revising sentence 7. Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the options: Let's check the options again. Wait, the option "They don't always come right out and tell you what they need, so insider information like this is important, and little kids are hard work" – no, that's bad. Wait, the correct option should be the one that presents the causes first and then the effect. Wait, the original sentence has the causes (hard work, don't tell needs) leading to the effect (insider info important). So when revising, we need to maintain that logical cause - effect. Wait, the option "Little kids are hard work, so insider information like this is important, and they don't always come right out and tell you what they need" – no, the "so" here is incorrect because "hard work" isn't the reason for insider info. The reason is "don't tell needs". Wait, maybe the correct option is the one where we first state the two characteristics of kids (hard work, don't communicate) and then the conclusion. Wait, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, let's look at the passage's sentence 7: "Little kids are hard work, and they don't always come right out and tell you what you need, so insider information like this is important." So the logical flow is: [characteristic 1] and [characteristic 2] → [conclusion]. So when revising, we need to keep that. Wait, the option "They don't always come right out and tell you what they need, so insider information like this is important, and little kids are hard work" – no, that's putting the conclusion first, then the other characteristic. The first option: "So insider information like this is important, little kids are hard work, and they don't always come right out and tell you what they need" – starts with conclusion, then reasons, illogical. The second option: "Little kids are hard work, so insider information like this is important, and they don't always come right out and tell you what they need" – the "so" after "hard work" is wrong. The third option: "They don't always come right out and tell you what they need, so insider information like this is important, and little kids are hard work" – wrong order. Wait, maybe I messed up. Wait, no, maybe the correct option is the one that is "Little kids are hard work, and they don't always…
