Answer: B. People oriented, hands-on types of jobs - those are the jobs for

me

Step-by-step explanation:

A classification paragraph groups different items into categories. A clincher sentence closes a paragraph by stating the main idea. Therefore, options D and C could follow the first sentence, as they describe the kinds of jobs of interest. Option A could go next, as an extra category, the kind of jobs that the persona has no interest in. Only option B restates the main idea and therefore works as a clincher sentence.
