School quiz
Is it ok to use for example here? Why or why not?
Thanks!

I would change everything. (See below.)

She does't ask her son to stay at home all day long. （ ）,she often travels with her son.
(a) Instead. (b) For example

Perhaps:

She doesn't ask her son to stay at home all day long. Instead, she often takes him with her on her trips.

(If you were going to use "For example" I would want to know what it is an example of.)

(Why don't they ever ask me to help them with those quizzes? ;-))
