Considering statement (D) — “While food processing still has the main objective of providing a safe nutritious diet in order to maintain health, other aspects, particularly the generation of wealth for the producer and seller, have become increasingly important.” — as the second sentence of the rearranged paragraph, which among the following should be the FOURTH sentence of the rearranged paragraph? A) A B) B C) E D) F E) C

1. A
2. B
3. E
4. F
5. C

Correct answer: E

Solution

If D is the second sentence, the paragraph likely shifts from modern food processing back to traditional processing details. Sentence E logically follows because it introduces traditional processors and their local food sources, which then can be elaborated by F and B.
