Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Answer: The incorrect word is the third bolded word in the sentence: the form shown is "percipent".
"Percipent" is a misspelling. The correct form is "percipient" which means "one who perceives" or "perceptive."
Therefore, the error lies in part 3; replace "percipent" with "percipient."
Notes on the other bolded words:
Intimations: means hints or indications; used correctly.
Subliminal: means below the threshold of conscious perception; used correctly.
Consciousness: means the state of being aware; used correctly.
Example correction: "Such intimations commonly originate in the subliminal consciousness of the percipient and are then transferred to the ordinary consciousness."
