PT113 · S2 · Q12 Rosen: One cannot prepare a good meal

This reversing the final link in the chain. Good → Good → Good → Good → Cult maintains meal food soil farming nat'l resources The final claim in the stimulus is that good farming can't happen without a culture that properly maintains natural resources. This answer reverses that claim and says a culture that maintains natural resources can't happen without good farming.

This reverses the soil / farming link Good → Good → Good → Good → Cult maintains meal food soil farming nat'l resources We were sold that you can't have good soil without good farming, i.e. that good farming is a prerequisite for good soil. This reverses that claim and says that good soil is a prerequisite for good farming.

This essentially sounds like it's doing a reversal from the fifth to the second. Good → Good → Good → Good → Cult maintains meal food soil farming nat'l resources If we pretend that fifth idea is essentially "good culture", then we would say our chain says, "If good cuisine, then good culture." And this answer is saying, "If good culture, then good cuisine."

This looks like a reversal from thing 4 to thing 3 and then thing 2, on our contrapositive chain. ~Cult maintains → Bad → Bad → Bad → Bad nat' resources farms soil food meal We know "if farms are bad, then soil is bad, and then food is bad." This answer is saying "If food is bad, then soil is bad and then farming is bad." We were told in the stimulus that bad soil or bad farming could both lead to bad food. But we don't have any certainty that any time we see bad food, it can definitely be blamed on bad soil / farming. There could be lots of other things that also lead to bad food (such as inept chefs or faulty equipment).
