Directions (Qs. 96-100): In the following passage some words have been deleted. Read the passage carefully and select the most appropriate option to fill in each blank. To discuss the political as an abstract structure is, perhaps, already to yield to the logic of the archive: that which preserves through containment, and (96) ____ through the act of naming. The subject in this space is neither born nor made but remains suspended, deferred within the machinic interplay of signifiers. One becomes governable only when one appears, and to appear is already to surrender to the syntax of recognition. Power does not suppress but instead surfaces — it emerges in the folds of citation and the gentle violence of classification. The biometric gaze is not ocular but computational; it is defined not by what it sees, but by what it does not allow to vanish. Resistance, if it exists at all, cannot be found in opposition, but in (97) ____ — in the refusal to be coherent and in the grammarless whisper. The body, meanwhile, becomes a ledger that is inscribed, decoded and re-encoded. What justice can exist in such a system? It is not the justice of law, but of rupture — a justice that unbinds and refuses the terms of its own invocation. It is not reparation that is sought, but (98) ____ — the unworking of systems and the destitution of legibility. To enter this mode is to abandon appeal and relinquish the comfort of meaning. One must instead submit to the possibility of a justice that never arrives, remaining (99) ____ , excessive and unlocatable. Only then can we imagine a politics not of representation, but of presence without capture and subjectivity without scaffolding. What remains, finally, is not identity but (100) ____ — a presence that eludes and persists in the absence of affirmation.
