Question

The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, 4) given below, when properly sequenced would yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequence of the order of the sentences and key in the sequence of the four numbers as your answer.
1. Conceptualizations of ‘women’s time’ as contrary to clock-time and clock-time as synonymous with economic rationalism are two of the deleterious results of this representation. 
2. While dichotomies of ‘men’s time’, ‘women’s time’, clock-time, and caring time can be analytically useful, this article argues that everyday caring practices incorporate a multiplicity of times; and both men and women can engage in these multiple-times. 
3. When the everyday practices of working sole fathers and working sole mothers are carefully examined to explore conceptualizations of gendered time, it is found that caring time is often more focused on the clock than generally theorized.
4. Clock-time has been consistently represented in feminist literature as a masculine artefact representative of a ‘time is money’ perspective.

• A. 2341
• B. 1342
• C. 3421
• D. 4132

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Analyzing the given information, it appears that statement 1, with the demonstrative pronoun 'this representation,' refers to the representation mentioned in statement 4, which talks about clock-time being consistently represented. Therefore, 41 forms a pair.
Now, to decide between 4132 and 4123, we consider the second sentence given in the question. Statement 1 introduces a negative outcome by mentioning "deleterious results." This negative outcome aligns with the idea in statement 3, where the author states that caring time is often more focused on the clock than generally theorized.
In parajumbles, it's essential to keep similar ideas together. Thus, the deleterious results in 1 and the biased focus in 3 should be connected. Therefore, the correct sequence is 4132, with statement 2 coming at the end as a sort of conclusion where the author mentions all the different 'times.'
