Passage: A 23-year-old British woman was sentenced yesterday to six months in jail for leaving her two-year- old daughter home alone for eight hours a day, five days a week, over the course of a year while she went to work. The young mother from the central town of Warwick initially hired a babysitter when she landed a job in a travel agency, but eventually reached the point when she could no longer afford the facility, prosecutors said. The woman then started leaving the child home by herself, providing it with food and toys and removing all potentially dangerous objects from its reach. At first, the mother came home at lunchtime but had to stop because her daughter threw tantrums every time she left to return to work. The mother, who was not identified, told the court, "If I had money, I would not have done it. It was a case of that or not keeping my job and living on benefit". The judge, Mr. Harrison Hall, however, said, "Having had a child, the absolute priority is to look after it. There must be an alternative to leaving a child alone all day, a thing you would not do even to a d o g " . Question: Why did the mother abandon her daughter to go to work?

1. She was not interested in looking after the baby
2. She was unable to control her angry baby
3. She wanted to run away from the country
4. She was in dire need of money
