Question
What is the problem faced by the anti-representationalists?
Options:
A .  History of philosophy shows them to have been fruitless and undesirable in their efforts.
B .  They have no way of formulating an independent test of accuracy of representation.
C .  They cannot take up a vantage point for comparing conceptual schemes
D .  History of philosophy shows them to have been fruitless and undesirable in their efforts and they have no way of formulating an independent test of accuracy of representation.
Answer: Option D
:
D
Look at this line in the second paragraph “Anti-representationalists see no way of formulating an independent test of accuracy of representation of reference”
Also have a look at this line in the last paragraph -
“Anti-representationalists do not think such efforts as insane, but they do think that the history of philosophy shows them to have been fruitless and undesirable”
Therefore the answer is (d). Option (c) is the view of Davidson and not of representationalists.
