Question
Which one of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
Options:
A .  Implicit in the terminology of the school of criticism known as deconstruction are meanings that reveal the true nature of the deconstructionist's endeavor
B .  The appearance of the certain terms signifier and signified in the field of literary theory anticipated the appearance of an even more radical idea known as deconstruction which was used by the contemporary school of literary criticism
C .  Innovations in language and relations between old and new meanings of terms are a special concern of the new school of criticism known as deconstruction
D .  Deconstructionists maintain that it is insufficient merely to judge a work: the critic must actively dismantle it.
Answer: Option A
:
A
Sum up the last line of the first paragraph “This seems especially true of the language of the contemporary school of literary criticism that now prefers to describe its work simply and rather presumptuously as theory but is still popularly referred to as poststructuralism of deconstruction.”
And the last line of the last paragraph: “The deconstructionist, by implication, is both judge and executioner who leaves a text totally dismantled, if not reduced to a pile of rubble.”
Both these lines are summarized in answer (a).
Option (b) is very specific to second paragraph. Moreover we cannot have examples in the main theme.
Option (c) does not give any information or definition of deconstruction.
Option (d) does capture one half of the essence of the paragraph and not the other.
So the answer is option (a).
