Question:

Consider the statement given below as true:

“By appropriating fashion discourse, consumers generate personalized fashion narratives and metaphoric and metonymic references that negotiate key existential tensions and that often express resistance to dominant fashion norms in their social milieu or consumer culture at large.”

Which of the following statements would concur with the above idea and the theme of the main paragraph?

Explanation:

The presented idea implies that consumers often generate their own constructions of fashion by negotiating with the dominant norms of their social context.
The aspect of gender has not come forth neither in the idea, nor in the main paragraph. This eliminates options 1 and 3 as they focus on “females” and “feminists”.
Option 2 takes a very extreme stance with “resist all dominant norms”. While the idea states that consumers often resist dominant norms, it does not say that they resist all of them.
“Attractiveness” once again is not an aspect that has been addressed in the idea or the passage. Eliminate option 5.
Option 4 establishes the required liaison between the idea and the main paragraph by representing how consumers interact with their context.
Hence, the correct answer is option 4.
