Question

passage
jamie wanted to select only art courses and join only art - related clubs and societies. the placement counselor at the college discouraged her from putting all her eggs in one basket; instead he advised jamie to spread out her time and talents so that there would be room for other opportunities to surface later.
question
what did the counselor advise jamie to do?

• to begin taking classes a semester earlier
• to apply for financial aid at a different time
• not to focus too much in one area
• not to spend too much time on non - academic activities

Explanation:

The passage says the counselor discouraged Jamie from "putting all her eggs in one basket" (focusing only on art) and advised her to spread out her time and talents to leave room for other opportunities. So the counselor advised her not to focus too much in one area. The other options (begin classes earlier, apply for financial aid at different time, not spend too much on non - academic activities) are not mentioned in the passage.

Answer:

C. Not to focus too much in one area
