The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4) given 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. The effigy of a candidate establishes a personal link between him and the voters; the candidate does not only offer a programme for judgement, he suggests a physical climate, a set of daily choices expressed in a morphology, a way of dressing, a posture. 2. Some candidates for Parliament adorn their electoral prospectus with a portrait; this presupposes that photography has a power to convert which must be analysed. 3. Inasmuch as photography is an ellipse of language and a condensation of an ‘ineffable’ social whole, it constitutes an anti-intellectual weapon and tends to spirit away ‘politics’ (that is to say a body of problems and solutions) to the advantage of a ‘manner of being’, a socio-moral status. 4. Photography tends to restore the paternalistic nature of elections, whose elitist essence has been disrupted by proportional representation and the rule of parties (the Right seems to use it more than the Left).
Quote:
The given answer is 2143 (can be challenged) but I think 2341 makes more sense.
Sentence 2 introduces the topic: candidates using photographs in their campaign materials and the need to analyse the power of photography.
Sentence 3 explains this power of photography in more conceptual terms: How photography condenses social meaning and removes intellectual politics.
Sentence 4 extends the argument by discussing the broader political impact: How photography restores a paternalistic nature to elections.
Sentence 1 concludes with the effect of the candidate’s effigy/portrait in creating a personal link, fitting naturally after the political analysis.
