A. represents a situation in which the person is not handling frustration well. In the other situations, the people found they weren't doing as well as they had hoped and so they actively found ways to maneuver around this to improve their lives. Leslie gave up her job simply the move back with her parents with no indication that she would be able to support herself until she got the job she wanted. It's important to keep a source on income while chasing down a dream job.
Hope this helps! :)
