c. wei wants to explore a career in publishing, while amy has made up her mind to become an electrician.
d. amy’s work will involve daily tasks, while wei’s role will mostly be to observe procedures and attend classes.

Explanation:

• Option A: The facts do not mention Amy's willingness to spend money on her program, nor that Wei wants short-term earnings. This is unsupported.
• Option B: There is no information about a certificate for Amy or a four-year degree for Wei. This is unsupported.
• Option C: Wei is doing a publishing externship, but this does not confirm they want a publishing career; Amy's apprenticeship does not mean she has decided to be an electrician (it is a registered apprenticeship, but not stated as her final career choice). This is unsupported.
• Option D: A registered electrical apprenticeship (Amy's role) involves structured daily tasks as part of training. Wei's publishing externship, as a temporary training position, typically includes observing workplace procedures and learning via shadowing/classes, which matches the description. This is fully supported by the given facts.

Answer:

D. Amy's work will involve daily tasks, while Wei's role will mostly be to observe procedures and attend classes.
