Answer: Option A
:
A
There is a clear link among statements A, E and C. A mentions the "basic information” required to be culturally literate. E follows it with "The breadth of that information is great” and C follows this by expanding on the required basic information further. This gives us option (a) as the correct answer. B also continues in the topic of basic information and D concludes it nicely by mentioning cultural literacy first introduced in A. hence option (a) is the correct answer.
