Question
A. To be culturally
literate is to possess the basic information needed to thrive in the modern
world.
B. Nor is it confined to one social class; quite the contrary.
C. It is by no means confined to "culture" narrowly understood as an
acquaintance with the arts.
D. Cultural literacy constitutes the only sure avenue of opportunity for
disadvantaged children, the only reliable way of combating the social
determinism that now condemns them.
E. The breadth of that information is great, extending over the major domains
of human activity from sports to science.
Solution
The correct option is BAECBD
There is a clear link among statements A, E and C. A mentions the "basic
information” required to be culturally literate. E follows it with "The
breadth of that information is great” and C follows this by expanding on the
required basic information further. This gives us option (a) as the correct
answer. B also continues in the topic of basic information and D concludes it
nicely by mentioning cultural literacy first introduced in A. hence option (a)
is the correct answer.
