Question

Given below is a paragraph whose last line is missing. Choose the line which completes the paragraph most logically from the options given below. The remake the world (including Nature), Fourier mobilised: an intolerance (for civilisation), a form (classification), a standard (pleasure), an imagination (the ‘scene’), a discourse (his book), all of which pretty well define the action of the signifier or the signifier in action. This action continually makes visible on the page a glaring lack, that of science and politics, that is, of the signified.

• A. What Fourier lacks points in return to what we ourselves lack when we reject Fourier: to be ironic about Fourier is always even from the scientific point of view to censure the signifier.
• B. However, the relationship of Desire and Need is not complementary were they fitted one into the other, everything would be perfect, but supplementary; each is the excess of the other.
• C. The excess: what does not pass through.
• D. The vomiting of politics is what Fourier calls Invention.

Hint:

When the paragraph deals with abstract or philosophical ideas, look for options that match the depth and theme, not just surface-level word repetition.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Understand the structure
The paragraph deals with semiotics (signifier/signified) and how Fourier’s work reveals a lack — specifically in the realms of science and politics. Step 2: Evaluate option connections
Option (A) completes the argument by interpreting Fourier’s gap as reflective of our own limitations in understanding meaning.
Other options introduce tangential ideas (desire, excess, invention) without continuing the idea of "lack" and semiotic tension. Step 3: Best fit
Option (A) logically extends the abstract discussion and completes the philosophical idea initiated in the paragraph.
