Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. physical.

  • The given sentence "What is sometimes referred to as a 'sixth sense' is a power to be aware of things independently of the five __________ senses, a kind of supernatural sense." is talking about the sixth sense referred independent of the senses connected with the body.
  • Therefore, the most appropriate word to be filled in the blank is 'physical' because the five known senses are connected with our body.
  • The word 'physical' means 'connected with your body rather than your mind.'

Hence, the correct answer is Option 2 i.e. physical.
