Parajumbles Question 3 - CAT 2022
Question
- Women may prioritize cooking because they feel they alone are responsible for mediating a toxic and unhealthy food system.
- Food is commonly framed through the lens of individual choice: you can choose to eat healthily.
- This is particularly so in a neoliberal context where the state has transferred the responsibility for food onto individual consumers.
- The individualized framing of choice appeals to a popular desire to experience agency, but draws away from the structural obstacles that stratify individual food choices.
Step-by-Step Explanation
- Correct Sequence: 2431
- Explanation: Sentence 2 establishes the opening thesis, exploring how mainstream discourse frames food selection entirely around "individual choice". Sentence 4 creates an immediate phrase-echo block (2-4), picking up on "The individualized framing of choice" to analyze why it appeals to people while obscuring deeper structural inequalities. Sentence 3 contextualizes this structural flaw using the demonstrative marker "This is particularly so...", attributing it to a neoliberal socio-political framework where the state unloads systemic responsibilities onto individual citizens. Sentence 1 finishes the logic stream by highlighting a specific demographic group (women) who find themselves disproportionately internalizing this systemic pressure.
- FundaMakers Tip: Explicit Block Pairing. Look for shared vocabulary anchors across sentences. The transition from the phrase "individual choice" at the end of sentence 2 to "The individualized framing of choice" at the start of sentence 4 creates a definitive, unbreakable chain.
