Question 94

Comprehension

What should come in the place of blank number [1]? The passage given below has certain words missing. Go through it attentively and pick the most suitable word from the options to complete each blank: To speak of power as a neutral mechanism is to already surrender to the logic of the institution: that which sustains itself through containment, and [1] [___] through the ritual of classification. The governed subject is not produced through ideology alone — it is suspended within an endless circulation of signs, perpetually rehearsed and deferred. Visibility, far from being liberatory, becomes a trap: to be seen is to be entered into the ledger of recognition, to be rendered manageable. Governance, ther efore, does not merely prohibit — it produces, emerging through the architecture of documentation, through the soft coercion of the category. The surveillance apparatus is not primarily optical but procedural; its power lies not in what it records, but in what it refuses to release from its grid. Dissent, where it survives, cannot take root in frontal resistance — it must inhabit [2] [_] — the refusal to be parsed, the uncodifiable murmur that eludes the syntax of control. The body becomes, in this arra ngement, a text perpetually under revision: marked, interpreted, overwritten. What justice can this system accommodate? Not the justice of restoration, but of severance. A justice that does not appeal to existing terms but dismantles them. What is sought is not repair, but [3] [_] — the unmaking of the apparatus itself, the stripping away of every grammar of legibility. To commit to this is to renounce consolation, to step outside the reassurance of meaning altogether . One must hold open a space for a justice that perpetually withholds itself, that remains [4] [_] — immeasurable, unanchored, beyond the coordinates of any existing framework. Only from within this exposure can we imagine a politics freed from the compulsion to represent, a subjectivity that refuses to be owned. What endures at the limit of all this is not a settled identity, but a [5] [___] — something that persists precisely by evading capture, that exists in the caesura between recognition and erasure.

Question 97

Comprehension

What should come in the place of blank number [4]? The passage given below has certain words missing. Go through it attentively and pick the most suitable word from the options to complete each blank: To speak of power as a neutral mechanism is to already surrender to the logic of the institution: that which sustains itself through containment, and [1] [___] through the ritual of classification. The governed subject is not produced through ideology alone — it is suspended within an endless circulation of signs, perpetually rehearsed and deferred. Visibility, far from being liberatory, becomes a trap: to be seen is to be entered into the ledger of recognition, to be rendered manageable. Governance, ther efore, does not merely prohibit — it produces, emerging through the architecture of documentation, through the soft coercion of the category. The surveillance apparatus is not primarily optical but procedural; its power lies not in what it records, but in what it refuses to release from its grid. Dissent, where it survives, cannot take root in frontal resistance — it must inhabit [2] [_] — the refusal to be parsed, the uncodifiable murmur that eludes the syntax of control. The body becomes, in this arra ngement, a text perpetually under revision: marked, interpreted, overwritten. What justice can this system accommodate? Not the justice of restoration, but of severance. A justice that does not appeal to existing terms but dismantles them. What is sought is not repair, but [3] [_] — the unmaking of the apparatus itself, the stripping away of every grammar of legibility.
