Explanation:

- The passage discusses how traditional examinations may not effectively measure various facets of human development, which includes physical, spiritual, and even aspects of intelligence.

- Blank No. 5 specifically discusses what examinations test.

- Option 1: memory - This is the correct word. It fits well in the context, as the passage is suggesting that exams often test one's ability to remember or memorize information rather than deeper understanding or intelligence.

- Option 2: memorable - This adjective refers to something worth remembering, and doesn’t fit well in the context.

- Option 3: memories - This noun doesn't fit well grammatically in the context of the sentence.

- Option 4: memorial - A noun meaning a structure or event to remember someone; irrelevant in this context.

Correct Answer: Option 1 - memory
