Sofia feels nervous about starting her first job tomorrow at a grocery store. She decides to stay up late researching every possible task she might be asked to do. Why is this approach likely to hurt rather than help her performance?

Staying up late can leave Sofia tired, which makes it harder to think clearly, respond positively, and remember what she learns on the job. Preparing can be helpful, but losing sleep in an attempt to anticipate every task may undermine her performance. Choice A describes this effect; the other choices make unsupported claims about when or whether she should learn about the job.
