Question:medium

The sentences (A-E) when properly sequenced form a coherent paragraph. Choose the most logical order. 

(A) Similarly, turning to caste, even though being lower caste is undoubtedly a separate cause of disparity, its impact is all the greater when the lower-caste families also happen to be poor.
(B) Belonging to a privileged class can help a woman to overcome many barriers that obstruct women from less thriving classes.
(C) It is the interactive presence of these two kinds of deprivation—being low class and being female—that massively impoverishes women from the less privileged classes.
(D) A congruence of class deprivation and gender discrimination can blight the lives of poorer women very severely.
(E) Gender is certainly a contributor to societal inequality, but it does not act independently of class.

Show Hint

Look for a thesis opener, examples/illustrations, then sentences with connectives like "Similarly" to extend the argument.

Show Solution

The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: "Similarly" in (A) signals it must come near the end, after a same-type point has already been made, so A is not the opener.

Step 2: (C) says "these two kinds of deprivation," which needs (D) right before it to name those two kinds, class deprivation and gender discrimination.

Step 3: Only the order starting with the thesis (E), then the class example (B), then D-C together, then the caste parallel (A) satisfies both clues. \[ \boxed{\text{EBDCA}} \]
