Reading instructions carefully while working shows which habit?

Correct answer: Attentiveness

The direct answer is A: attentiveness. Attentiveness means giving careful mental attention to what is being read, heard or done. When a worker reads instructions carefully, the worker notices the order of steps, required materials, safety points and expected result before beginning. Step by step: read the whole instruction; identify important words and sequence; ask about anything unclear; perform the task according to the directions; check the work. This habit reduces avoidable mistakes. Option A is correct because careful reading is direct evidence of attentiveness. Option B, haste, means acting too quickly, often without reading fully, and can cause errors. Option C, ignoring, means not paying attention to the instructions, exactly the opposite of the described habit. Option D, disorder, means lack of organization and does not describe careful understanding of directions. Attentiveness does not mean working slowly in every situation; it means focusing properly before and during work. Memory cue: read, understand, do, check.
