Question

According to the passage, Derrida believes that:

• A. Reality can be construed only through the use of rational analysis
• B. Language limits our construction of reality
• C. A universal language will facilitate a common understanding of reality
• D. We need to uncover the hidden meaning in a system of relations expressed by language

Answer 1

The correct option is D We need to uncover the hidden meaning in a system of relations expressed by language

Option (A) and (C) go against what has been said by Derrida. The two close options are: (B) and (D). Option (B) loses out because of the slight modification it introduces. Had it been something line “language places a limit on our interpretations of reality’, it could have been the correct answer. Since this is not the case, we need to reject this option. This leaves us with only one answer option.
