What should come in the place of blank number [2]?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is option 1 i.e. conditionality.
The passage discusses how the state and institutional systems (biomedical and legal) manage and recognize human life. It states that within this 'necropolitical' framework, being recognized by the state is not an inherent right but something governed by specific rules and criteria that can change depending on politics.
Grammatical concept:
-
Conditionality: This refers to the state of being subject to certain terms, requirements, or conditions. In political and social theory, it describes a situation where benefits or rights (like 'recognition') are only granted if the subject meets specific standards.
-
Matrices of intelligibility: The sentence mentions these rewards are 'allocated via matrices of intelligibility,' which reinforces the idea that there are 'conditions' (filters) one must pass through to be seen or recognized.
Correct word: conditionality
Hence, the chosen option is correct.
