Let’s first learn a few principles…
The 3 Pillars
UNITY
Consistent focus on a single main idea
COHERENCE
Logical arrangement of Ideas
COHESION
Linguistic devices to connect Ideas
There are reasons for optimists to hope due to progress on
cleaner sources of renewable energy, especially solar power.
Around 2010, solar energy generation accounted for less than
1 per cent of the electricity generated by humanity. But
experts believe that, by 2027, due to falling costs, better
technology and exponential growth in new installations, solar
power will become the largest global energy source for
producing electricity. If progress on renewables continues, we
might find a way to resolve the warming problem linked to
greenhouse gas emissions. By 2050, large-scale societal and
ecological changes might have helped us avoid the worst
consequences of our extensive use of fossil fuels.

The Plan…
The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3 and 4) below, when properly sequenced, would
yield a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper sequencing of the order of the
sentences and key in the sequence of the 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.
