Question: The four sentences (labelled 1, 2, 3, and 4) given in this question, when properly sequenced, form a coherent paragraph. Decide on the proper order for the sentences and key in this sequence of four numbers as your answer.
Conceptualisations of ‘women’s time’ as contrary to clock-time and clock-time as synonymous with economic rationalism are two of the deleterious results of this representation.
While dichotomies of ‘men’s time’, ‘women’s time’, clock-time, and caring time can be analytically useful, this article argues that everyday caring practices incorporate a multiplicity of times; and both men and women can engage in these multiple-times
When the everyday practices of working sole fathers and working sole mothers are carefully examined to explore conceptualisations of gendered time, it is found that caring time is often more focused on the clock than generally theorised.
Clock-time has been consistently represented in feminist literature as a masculine artefact representative of a ‘time is money’ perspective.
Clearly, sentence 4 has to start the sequence because it introduces the concept of clock-time. Next we see a mandatory pair of sentences 1 and 3, because exploring conceptualizations of gendered times, mentioned in 3 is an elaboration of the conceptualization mentioned in sentence 1. Sentence 2 hence acts as a conclusion.
