Explanation

The correct pairing is Roland Barthes with myth (1), Pierre Bourdieu with doxa (2), Antonio Gramsci with hegemony (3) and Jean Baudrillard with simulation (4).

Roland Barthes (1) is linked with myth, the way everyday signs naturalise cultural meanings.

Pierre Bourdieu (2) is tied to doxa, the taken-for-granted assumptions a society treats as self-evident.

Antonio Gramsci (3) gave hegemony, rule by consent through dominant ideology, and Jean Baudrillard (4) developed simulation, signs that replace and mask reality.

Each thinker's signature concept fixes its own pairing.

Together they map key ideas in the study of signs, power and media.
