Question

According to the passage, Derrida believes that the system of binary opposition

• A. represents a prioritization or hierarchy
• B. reconciles contradictions and dualities
• C. weakens the process of marginalization and ordering of truth
• D. deconstructs reality.

Answer 1

The correct option is A represents a prioritization or hierarchy

Refer to the lines: “Rather, they exist, for Derrida, in a series of hierarchical relationships with the first term normally occupying a superior position. Derrida defines the relationship between such oppositional terms using the neologism difference”. The above lines help us identify option A as the correct answer.
