Step 1: 2.1 Differentiate between Lena and her sister (term and definition: career choice). Lena's career choice: Chartered Accountant and own her own business (high ambition). Her sister's career choice: hairdresser (lower ambition). Difference: Lena aims for a professional, high-income career in accounting/business; her sister aims for a service-based career. Career choice is the profession or job one selects based on interests, skills, and goals. Step 2: 2.2 Identify Lena's strongest qualities. Lena is determined, hard-working, good at maths, business studies, and economics (unlike her cousins). These qualities, including leadership (ambition to own business, help family), will make her successful as a Chartered Accountant. Step 3: 2.3 Lena's reason for her studies. Lena studies hard in maths, business studies, and economics subjects because she is good at them and they are required for her career goal. Step 4: 2.4 Lena's reason for her studies (qualification). To get the qualifications needed to become a Chartered Accountant (e.g., good Matric/NSC results for university, then CA qualification). Step 5: 2.5 Distinguish between the qualifications/subjects. Subjects: Maths, Business Studies, Economics (required for Accounting career; Lena excels, cousins fail). Qualifications: National Senior Certificate (NSC/Matric) for entry to university BAcc degree, then SAICA CA programme. Step 6: 2.6 Assess the importance of studying NSC in relation to career choice in South Africa. NSC is essential as it is the gateway qualification for university admission and careers like Chartered Accountant. Without good NSC marks in key subjects (maths, economics), tertiary study and professional registration (e.g., SAICA) is impossible. Helps economic situation by enabling high-income jobs to support family (like Lena's unemployed parents). Total: 20/20
