When working on a complex, multipart problem, a successful math student will do
of the following except?

a. review preliminary calculations to confirm that they are reasonable

b. skip intermediate steps to get to the final calculation more quickly

c. make a diagram of the problem and develop a plan to clarify the procedures
involved

d. read the problem carefully to ensure that the question is understood

B. skip intermediate steps to get to the final calculation more quickly

Explanation:

Skipping the intermediate steps to get to the final calculation faster is a bad idea for a student who is working on a complex multipart problem and wants to be successful in solving the problem. This is because skipping the intermediate parts will not show the correct result, on the contrary, the result will be incomplete and probably completely wrong, because skipping the intermediate steps will make it harder to identify and correct errors.
