Answer :

For QUESTION 3: Butler does not term a "mode of address" as: c. A way of attending to someone through gesture, sign, or movement. Modes of address, according to Butler, involve how we approach and speak to others, as well as the presumptions we make about their identities. It is more about verbal and non-verbal communication rather than just gestures, signs, or movements. For QUESTION 4: Butler finds the phrase "All Lives Matter" inadequate because: c. It ignores the fact that black people have not yet been included in the idea of "all lives." Butler argues that the phrase fails to address the specific issues faced by black individuals and communities. By using "All Lives Matter," the focus shifts away from the particular struggles and injustices faced by Black Lives Matter movement. It does not acknowledge the systemic racism and discrimination that black people continue to experience.
