What is part-time work?

Correct answer: Work for some hours of a day or week

The direct answer is B: part-time work means working for only some hours of a day or week. Work is called part-time when the worker does not work the full regular schedule. The number of hours may be fixed by the employer or arranged according to the worker’s situation, but it is less than full-time work. Option A is wrong because working the whole day without a break describes a full-day schedule, not part-time work. Option B is correct because it clearly states that the work is done for limited hours during a day or week. Option C is wrong because a lifelong job describes duration over many years, not the number of working hours. Option D is wrong because income without work is not a type of working schedule. A student should compare the time spent working, not the length of the whole career. Memory cue: part-time means part of the time; full-time means the regular full schedule. Therefore the supplied answer B is accurate.
