Questions 1 through 6 refer to the following memorandum. To: All Rehab Program Participants From: Claudia Ortiz, Assistant Director Re: Temporary Employment Date: April 30, 2002 (A) (1) If you are looking for a permanent job or plan to reenter the working world, you might find the job hunt a difficult task.

(C) DISADVANTAGES (7) Being a temp can also have its disadvantages. (8) Some temporary agencies offer health insurance and other benefits to their workers, but others do not. (9) If the one you work for does not, you will find it expensive to provide your own health insurance. (10) Another disadvantage to temporary work is that there is no guarantee of work you do not automatically draw a paycheck every Friday. (11) Temporary work may not be appropriate for people which crave security. (D) (12) There are risks involved with temporary work, but if you like a flexible schedule, thrive on change, or need to explore different careers, this approach might be for you. | | If you rewrote sentence 1 beginning with the next word should be
