Kathryn Mewes does not meet bohemian, hippy parents in her line of work. Typically one, or both, of the parents she sees work in the City of London. “Professionals seek professionals,” she says. Originally a nanny, Mewes is now a parenting consultant, advising couples privately on changing their child’s behaviour, doing corporate seminars for working parents. Her clients find they are unprepared for the chaos and unpredictability that having a child can entail. “Parents are getting older; they have been in control their and been successful. Suddenly a baby turns up and life turns on its head.” Nicknamed the “Three-Day Nanny” her pledge to fix behavioural problems in children under the age of 12 within three days, she is filming a new Channel 4 television series demonstrating her techniques. The of the parenting consultant – distinct from that of a nanny – has developed, she says, as people are used to buying in expertise, such as personal trainers or, in her case, parenting advice.

Result:

A.I. Explanation:

Correct answer: as well as
Explanation: The phrase 'as well as' is used to connect two related actions, indicating that Mewes is doing both advising couples and conducting corporate seminars. This fits grammatically and contextually, as it maintains the parallel structure of the sentence.
Meaning: 'As well as' means in addition to or also, linking two activities together.
Wrong options:
at the meantime: The phrase 'at the meantime' is incorrect as it is not a standard expression in English; the correct phrase would be 'in the meantime,' which does not fit the context of adding another action.
because: 'Because' is a conjunction that introduces a reason, which does not fit here as the sentence is listing actions rather than providing a reason.
play: 'Play' is a verb that does not relate to the context of advising or conducting seminars, making it grammatically and contextually inappropriate.
role: 'Role' is a noun that does not fit as it does not connect the two actions being described in the sentence.
because of: 'Because of' is a prepositional phrase that indicates causation, which does not fit the context of adding another action to the sentence.
identify: 'Identify' is a verb that does not relate to the context of the sentence and does not fit grammatically.
entire life: 'Entire life' is a noun phrase that does not connect the two actions and is irrelevant in this context.
Correct answer: whole lives
