Select the correct text in the passage.A writer is using the following text to write a paper about men’s fashion:adapted excerpt from House Decorationby Oscar WildeAnd how shall men dress? Men say that they do not particularly care how they dress, and this it is little matter. I am bound to reply that I agree: I can observe that you do not give much thought to your fashion. In all my journeys through the country, the only well-dressed men that I saw — and in saying this, I truthfully do mean to criticize the trendy men of Fifth Avenue — were the Western miners. Their wide-brimmed hats, which shaded their faces from the sun and protected them from the rain, and their cloaks, which are the most beautiful pieces of drapery ever invented, are worthy of being admired. Their high boots, too, were sensible and practical. They wore only what was comfortable, and therefore beautiful.Which sentence in the writer’s paper should the writer revise to include an in-text citation?Men’s fashion isn’t discussed as often as women’s fashion is, but perhaps it should be. Most men wear simple outfits consisting of basic pants and shirts. However, there are actually many options available to men, despite the fact that they might not be familiar with certain historical and contemporary fashions. In fact, the nineteenth-century Western miners’ exquisite cloaks, large hats, and practical boots are excellent examples of high-quality men’s fashion.

But this magpie mentality, where all of culture and history is up for grabs as ‘inspiration’, has accelerated since the proliferation of social media... Where once a fashion student might research the history and traditions of a particular item of clothing with care and respect, we now have a world where images are lifted from image libraries without a care for their cultural significance. It’s easier than ever to steal a motif or a craft technique and transfer it onto a piece of clothing that is either mass produced or appears on a runway without credit or compensation to their original communities.”Please select your Answer.Copying an embroidery design or pattern of textile from native communities who own them is tantamount to stealing and they need to be compensated.Cultural collaboration is the need of the hour.
