A, D, E, F
Explanation
The PACED decision-making model is a method in which individuals or groups can make sensible choices. PACED, each letter here stands for different thinking aspects of the decision-making process, i.e., Problem; Alternatives; Criteria designed for Comparison; Evaluation of the alternatives on the criteria; Finally, making the Decision. Here, the problem for Sandy is to choose a career. Therefore, the sensible career options as per the problem context mentioned in the question are biomedical engineer, physical therapist assistant, medical secretary, and interpreter/translator. As mentioned, the spaghetti for dinner and movie on Saturday night are not relevant to the problem of choosing a career, contradicting the PACED decision-making process model.'
