Answer 1

Answer:

D. Sylvia would be better off volunteering with an organization; to really help others, she needs more structure to her activities

Explanation:

The fact that Sylvia babysits for her grandchildren, drives her neighbor and helps her daughter financially does not necessarily imply that she should volunteer with an organization to coordinate her activities. In fact, she demonstrates to be a generous person who is available for those people she cares about, and may not need a structured framework to organize her life.
