The four sentences (labelled 1,2,3 and 4) given in this question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper order for the sentence and key in this sequence of four numbers as your answer.
1. Women may prioritize cooking because they feel they alone are responsible for mediating a toxic and unhealthy food system. 2. Food is commonly framed through the lens of individual choice: you can choose to eat healthily. 3. This is particularly so in a neoliberal context where the state has transferred the responsibility for food onto individual consumers. 4. 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.
2431
Sentence 2 opens the paragraph: it introduces the general idea that food is commonly framed as a matter of individual choice (“you can choose to eat healthily”).
Sentence 4 follows naturally — “The individualized framing of choice” directly refers to the framing introduced in 2, and adds its effect: it appeals to a desire for agency but hides the structural obstacles behind food choices. So 2 → 4.
Sentence 3 begins “This is particularly so…”, and it needs a specific claim to intensify. It follows sentence 1, which says women prioritize cooking because they feel they alone must mediate a toxic food system; 3 then adds that this is especially true in a neoliberal context where the state has passed responsibility for food to individual consumers. So 1 → 3.
Sentence 1 applies the individualized framing of 4 to women, so 4 → 1, and 3 closes the paragraph by placing that burden in its political context.
The sequence is therefore 2 → 4 → 3 → 1.
Hence, the answer is 2431.
Zombie cells may contribute to age-related chronic inflammation: this finding could help scientists understand more about the aging process and why the immune system becomes less effective as we get older. Zombie or “senescent” cells are damaged cells that can no longer divide and grow like normal cells. Scientists think that these cells can contribute to chronic health problems when they accumulate in the body. In younger people, the immune system is more effective at clearing senescent cells from the body through a process called apoptosis, but as we age this process becomes less efficient. As a result, there is an accumulation of senescent cells in different organs in the body, either through increased production or reduced clearance by the immune system. The zombie cells continue to use energy though they do not divide, and often secrete chemicals that cause inflammation, which if persistent for longer periods of time can damage healthy cells leading to chronic diseases.
