A1 and 4
B1, 2 and 3 ✓ Correct
C3 and 4
D1, 2, 3 and 4
Correct answer: (B) 1, 2 and 3 — Pairs 1, 2 and 3 are correctly matched, so the correct answer is 'B' (1, 2 and 3).
Explanation
★Pairs 1, 2 and 3 are correctly matched, so the correct answer is 'B' (1, 2 and 3).
★Jacques Derrida wrote The Post Card: From Socrates to Freud and Beyond (1980), so the first pair holds.
★Frantz Fanon wrote The Wretched of the Earth, a study of colonial violence, so the second pair holds.
★Jean-Francois Lyotard wrote The Postmodern Condition, so the third pair holds.
★The fourth pair is wrong, since The Human Condition was written by Hannah Arendt, not Antonio Gramsci; Gramsci is known for the Prison Notebooks.
★Only the fourth pair is mismatched, while the other three are correctly matched.
