Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Sol: Statements B, C and D talk about class – which is introduced in statement E, along with gender. Hence E starts the paragraph.
‘A congruence of class deprivation and gender discrimination’ in statement D and ‘these two kinds of deprivation’ in statement C make DC a mandatory pair.
Statement B can be very easily placed before this pair because of the reference to class and women, making EBDC the best sequence.
The word ‘similarly’ in statement A and the reference to ‘caste’ something similar to class makes it easy to place statement A after EBDC.
Hence, the correct answer is option 2.
