Explanation:
The answer can be inferred from the last paragraph, beginning, “Meaning, then, is never fixed or stable, …” followed by “Thus, any act of interpretation must refer not only to what the author of a text intends, but also to what is absent from his or her intention.” This is why Derrida rejects ‘definitive authority’. In this case option 4 is contrary to the passage. Option 3 is not relevant to the question, especially the ‘often’ in it. Option 2 says the meaning is based on ‘binary opposites’ – whereas binary opposites may be an interpretation/analysis rather than the meaning of the text is based on it. The last paragraph clearly supports the inference in option 1. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
