Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A. A and B only

Explanation

Baudelaire's flâneur (via Benjamin) and Bourdieu's habitus are correct. 'Modernity: An Unfinished Project' (1980) is Habermas's, Imagined Communities is Benedict Anderson's, and 'thick description' is Clifford Geertz's. NTA dropped the question, probably because of the garbled name in E.

Note: Dropped by NTA; option 1 is the correct combination.
