Passage Summary: People used to believe in big, universal truths and order, but now postmodern thinkers believe things are messy and specific to their time and place. Therefore, the world itself must actually be messy and devoid of universal truths.

Conclusion: The world we live in is actually characterized by irregular events and lacks universal truths.

Reasoning: Postmodern thinkers have moved away from believing in order and universal truth, favoring instead a belief in chaos and context-dependent theories.

Analysis: The author makes a classic leap from what people believe to what is actually true. Just because a group of intellectuals has changed their minds about the nature of reality doesn't mean reality itself has shifted to accommodate them. It’s a bit like a child deciding they no longer believe in gravity and concluding that they can now float away. Look for an answer choice that identifies this confusion between a shift in perspective and a shift in objective fact.
