Solution
Ham and eggs (sentence C) are palatable foodstuffs (sentence E). The association gives us the pair, CE.
Sentence D follows CE, as it gives the reason of why ham and eggs share a deathless relationship. That is followed by B- the analogy with men. That (CE DB) helps us eliminates options 1, 3 and 4.
