Reading the passage
Look immediately before “This iconoclastic view.” Haraway says the different perspectives cannot be reduced to a single coherent reality. The next sentences connect that idea to the distinct voices in her writing. So the reference concerns refusing to combine all those perspectives into one complete account.
Working the answers
- ACorrect
The preceding sentence allows only “multiple, interlinked, partial realities.” A restates the claim that we cannot build one unified, comprehensive reality from those different contributions. It doesn't require the broader assertion that nothing is real.
- B
Incorporating many sources sounds right, but a unified overarching story is exactly what she avoids. The ending reverses her approach.
- C
She does challenge the knower/object division earlier. But the view linked here to her writing is the more specific claim about multiple perspectives that cannot be reduced to one reality.
- D
Projection and the assumptions she criticizes are earlier topics. They aren't the particular claim the following account of distinct voices illustrates.
- E
This is a claim about scientists' historical writing practices, not the view being reflected in Haraway's style. The reference points back to her account of partial realities; the contrast with traditional narrative comes afterward.
