The career cluster that might be best for someone who is most interested in painting might be: a. arts, audio/video technology, and communication. b. government administration. c. business management. d. finance.

Hello there! The answer I would go with is A.

A involves arts, which can get anything including acting, dancing, etc. but most importantly, visual arts like painting and drawing, which is where this person's interest is.

The other options wouldn't really work.

Government Administration includes "government functions at the local, state and federal levels, including governance, national security, foreign service, planning, revenue and taxation, and regulations."

Business Management is working to manage a business, where you might work in fields like "customers, finance, operations, communication, information technology and business policy and strategy."

Finance "is a field that is concerned with the allocation of assets and liabilities over space and time, often under conditions of risk or uncertainty. "

So, looking over at all the options, the best option would be A since none of the rest involve actively using painting in the jobs themselves. I hope this helped you and have a great day! :)
