You're welcome! Here are the explanations for each question:

1. Sally needs to gather information about careers from a print or media source. The reliable resource for her would be the Occupational Outlook Handbook. This is a trusted source that provides information on various careers, including job descriptions, educational requirements, and salary information.

2. Jim's mom being an accountant is considered an external source of information about careers. External sources refer to information obtained from outside individuals or organizations.

3. Hugh has made an appointment to speak with a local librarian about their job. This type of exploration is called an informational interview. It involves speaking with professionals in a specific career field to gather insights and learn more about their experiences and the profession itself.

4. Susan, who wants to be a veterinarian, is neglecting the important component of considering her skills and abilities. It is crucial to assess one's own skills, abilities, and interests when researching careers, rather than solely focusing on a single career of interest.

5. Peter displayed the important skill of inquisitiveness by calling his friend's uncle who is an archeologist. Inquisitiveness involves being curious and asking questions to learn more about a particular topic or field.

6. Yusef asking his football coach if he knows any professional athletes he can interview about their career is an example of networking. Networking involves reaching out to individuals who may have connections or knowledge in a specific career field to gather information and insights.

7. Regarding informational interviews, it is best to always set up an appointment with someone with whom you wish to conduct the interview. This ensures that both parties are prepared and have allocated dedicated time for the interview.

8. Entrepreneurs are important to our economy because they provide jobs, provide inspiration and motivation to our economy, and introduce new products and services. Therefore, the correct answer is "all of the above."

9. It is wise for entrepreneurs to acquire marketing knowledge. This allows them to effectively promote and sell their products or services to their target audience.

10. It is not best to choose a career that others think you would be good at. Instead, you should consider your own skills, interests, and abilities when making a career choice.

11. The statement that most people will only engage in career exploration once in their lifetime, so you should make it count, is true. Career exploration is a crucial process that should be done thoroughly to make informed decisions about one's career path.

12. When completing career exploration, it is wise to consult your own knowledge of your skills, abilities, and interests, as well as consult your family and friends, and use print or online resources. This comprehensive approach allows for a well-rounded understanding of potential career options.

13. It is false that you should go into an informational interview without any prior knowledge of the person or their career. It is important to do some research beforehand to have a basic understanding of the profession and be able to ask meaningful questions during the interview.
