✅ Correct Option: 2
**From passage:** "Baudrillard believes that the cargo myth holds an important analogy for the ways in which consumers engage with objects of consumption." **Thought Process:** Question asks HOW Baudrillard uses the cargo myth story → He says the myth is "an important analogy" → Analogy = a comparison story to explain something else → He's comparing Melanesian people waiting for planes to modern people waiting for happiness from shopping → He's using this story to CRITIQUE (criticize/explain the problem with) modern shopping → Option 2 says this. 🔴 **Option 1** → Wrong Direction → He uses it to show shopping's PROBLEMS, not that it's good (a blessing). 🟢 **Option 2** → Correct → He uses the story as a comparison (metaphor) to criticize modern shopping habits. 🔴 **Option 3** → Wrong Purpose → He's explaining consumer behavior, not talking about Indigenous people's suffering. 🔴 **Option 4** → Not Mentioned → Nothing about buying "more serious" things.
