What should come in the place of blank number [3]?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. destitution.
The passage calls for a radical transformation of how 'recognition' is structured. It argues against simply 'expanding' existing systems and instead suggests a fundamental breaking down or stripping away of the current 'ontological architecture' (the basic nature or foundation) of how society recognizes individuals.
Grammatical concept:
-
Destitution: While commonly used to mean extreme poverty, in a philosophical or formal context, it refers to the state of being 'destitute' of something—meaning the deprivation, stripping away, or abandonment of a particular structure or quality.
-
Ontological Architecture: This refers to the fundamental framework of being. To 'effect a destitution' of this architecture means to dismantle or vacate the existing rules that govern who is considered 'real' or 'intelligible.'
Correct word: destitution
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
