Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Correct answer: Part 3 is incorrect.
Error: the word "percipent" is misspelled.
Correct spelling: percipient (p-e-r-c-i-p-i-e-n-t).
Meaning: perceptive; having the power of perception; a perceiver.
Why: "percipent" is not a standard spelling. Replacing it with "percipient" corrects the error without changing the intended meaning.
Corrected sentence: Such intimations commonly originate in the subliminal consciousness of the percipient and are then transferred to the ordinary consciousness.
Note: "perceptive" is a close synonym, but the minimal correction of the original word is to fix the spelling to "percipient."
