Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Earning a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering from a four-year university, completing an internship, and seeking a job at a private firm.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the U.S. and many countries, the best to start a career is to enroll in a formal educational program at a university or college. This helps students learn concepts, theories, methods, etc. they need for their profession. Moreover, a degree such as a bachelor's degree is required by employers. In this context, the first step for Connor is to earn a bachelor's degree in Civil Engineering.

Besides this, an internship is recommended after earning a degree because this is the way students can gain real-life work experience, which is considered positive by employers. This means the next step should be an internship.

Finally, Connor can seek a job to design bridges and other buildings because after the degree and internship he will have the experience and knowledge required by employers and by the job.
