Read the passage and answer the questions: “good is hard to find.” while it may sound cliché, it can certainly be true, as one father recently discovered. after running an ad in a local newspaper, the father of twin toddlers interviewed several potential candidates and narrowed it down to two he thought to be the most qualified. both women were in their forties and very pleasant, and he thought that either of them would do an excellent job. undecided, he ran a background check on each of the women and was shocked to find that one of the women had an extensive criminal history and was recently treated in a mental health facility. obviously, he hired the other woman. a week later, the father was shocked when he picked up a newspaper and read that the woman he did not hire had severely injured a little girl who was under her care. why did the father choose not to hire one of the women he interviewed? a) she was uneducated b) she was rude and unfriendly c) he decided that he did not need a babysitter after all d) she had a history of criminal activity and mental illness

D). She had a history of criminal activity and mental illness.

Explanation:

The title 'Good help is hard to find' clearly portrays the author's intent to warn the audience through this incident. The passage displays the struggle of a father who is seeking a babysitter for his 'twin toddlers'. He got an ad published in the newspaper to make his task easier. He interviewed people and finally reached to selecting two women out of whom he thought that one would be the best.  

But then comes a major shock to him when he reads in the newspaper about the pervasive criminal history and mental illness of one of the women. Thus, he could not hire her which proves fruitful as he read a few days later about the attack on a little child made by that woman. Therefore, option D clearly states the reason for not hiring one of the women.

should you be the one doing this journal entry? it says "your special talent or skill". are you gonna lie 'bout your talent and make us fake a talent for you?

also this is a really easy journal entry, you can just think of a skill your good at and write did you work hard to become good at this skill (ex: drawing, writing, math, playing music, etc.) or does it come naturally (like a cool trick that you can do with your body). you can do all of that in 150 words. just try and think of a talent and even if your bad at this talent just say your working hard to become good at it.

i think the correct answer would be adjustments in life roles.  this causes for one to adjust or change totally his/her career or lifestyle since the present is not beneficial to the life role he is at. for instance, you became a mother you would of course stop going to malls and enjoying life outside. you would be staying at home taking care of your child.
