Deconstructing Passages - II

Passage

For any new story to get told, there has to be an opening, a sudden tectonic jarring of a discipline's conventional wisdom. Thomas Kuhn described this critical moment with now much weathered phrase "Paradigm Shift". Its the precise moment of tilt between an old world view and a new one. And that's where we are now in the sub-discipline of ancient American archaeology, poised between those two views held (as always) by moss backed conservative traditionalists on one side and young agitated revolutionaries on the other.

Question

The phrase "new story" in the context of the passage means which of the following?
A) a plausible myth
B) a scientific dispute
C) a different way of perceiving things
D) a shift in the way discipline conducts research
E) a popular narrative

Analysis

E) a popular narrative- Its the finest example of a trap answer which most of the students fall prey of. Choosing this option is like taking the meaning of "new story" a bit too literally. So its not the answer.

So going back to square one we have to devise a logic to encounter this question. The best applicable strategy here is, you want to think to yourself, "What would go into the slot here where we eliminated 'new story' ?" To answer that question, we really have to understand the entire passage i.e, to actively read the passage first and try to create meaning in your head.
A complete sentence by sentence analysis is given in the previous post.
Now guessing you read that , we can unequivocally say that "Well, it's this idea that people were changing the way they perceive events that happened in the past. The debate is in archaeology, and there is one way of looking at or interpreting the past and now that's changing."
So for any new way of looking back at the past or interpreting events to get told. So now, we've come up with our own answer, and that's very, very important because if you can come up with your own answer, put that down here, you are more likely not to be trapped by the wrong answers, and of course, you're more likely to pick the correct answer.

Evaluating the options

Now of course, your own answer doesn't always match up with the answer choices, but it's a great place to start, and again, you avoid getting trapped as easily. So we go back to the answer choices.
We know we have our own answer. Our own answer is a "new story" is a different way of perceiving events, and just like that, there's our answer, C.
