In the following passage, some words have been deleted. Read the passage intently and choose the most appropriate option to fill in each blank: To speak of the political as an abstract structure is, perhaps, already to concede to the logic of the archive: that which preserves through containment, and [1] _____ through its very naming. The subject here is neither born nor made—but suspended, deferred in the machinic interplay of signifiers. One becomes governable only to the extent that one appears, and to appear is already to capitulate to the syntax of recognition. Power, then, does not suppress but surfaces—it emerges in the folds of citation, in the gentle violence of classification. The biometric gaze is not ocular but computational; not what it sees, but what it does not allow to vanish. Resistance, if it resists at all, cannot be found in opposition, but in [2] _____—in the refusal to be coherent, in the grammarless whisper. The body, meanwhile, becomes a ledger: inscribed, decoded, re-encoded. What justice can exist in such a system? Not that of law, but of rupture. A justice that unbinds, that refuses the terms of its own invocation. It is not reparation that is sought, but [3] _____—the unworking of systems, the destitution of legibility. To enter this mode is to abandon appeal, to relinquish the comfort of meaning. One must instead submit to the possibility of a justice that never arrives, that remains [4] _____, excessive and unlocatable. Only then can we imagine a politics not of representation, but of presence without capture, of subjectivity without scaffolding. What remains, finally, is not identity but [5] _____—a presence that eludes, that persists in the absence of affirmation.

Question 4 (case study, 5 parts)
Grammar. Asked once: 26 Sep 2025 S1
Read the passage and answer the questions: Once relegated to the peripheries of legitimate professional discourse, YouTube content creation has metamorphosed into a formidable and highly nuanced career avenue. Far beyond the superficial glitz of viral videos, contemporary content creators must navigate a labyrinthine ecosystem encompassing algorithmic unpredictability, audience analytics, intellectual property considerations, and brand partnership intricacies. The platform's democratized nature ostensibly offers an egalitarian promise — anyone with a camera and an idea can, theoretically, ascend to prominence. However, the reality is far more Darwinian. Success on YouTube today demands not only creative ingenuity but also a keen acumen in digital marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), and an ever-evolving understanding of platform-specific trends. Consistency in output, meticulous engagement with viewer communities, and adaptability to sudden policy shifts have become indispensable skills. Moreover, the psychological ramifications of tethering one's livelihood to fluctuating view counts and algorithmic favor should not be underestimated. Burnout, imposter syndrome, and a precarious sense of self-worth plague many full-time creators. Unlike traditional careers, YouTube offers no institutional safety nets; creators must independently negotiate contracts, secure health benefits, and plan for financial volatility. Nonetheless, for those who can master this digital alchemy, the rewards are substantial — both financially and creatively. The platform enables unparalleled autonomy, offering a direct conduit between creator and audience, unmediated by corporate gatekeepers. In an era increasingly defined by the decentralization of media, YouTube content creation is not merely a trend but a harbinger of the future of work.
