Explanation:

- For blank (1), we are discussing the five senses. These are typically considered as sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell.

- For blank (2), following the pattern of listing senses, the correct word here is "smell."

- For blank (3), "referred" is the most appropriate word because it discusses a sixth sense in a way people often mention or refer to it.

- For blank (4), "of" fits correctly to make the phrase "aware of things."

- For blank (5), the passage describes "the five senses." The word "physical" correctly fits because it relates to the tangible, bodily senses like sight, hearing, etc.

- Option 1, "geographical," relates to geography, not senses.

- Option 2, "physical," relates correctly to bodily or tangible senses.

- Option 3, "geological," relates to geology, not directly applicable here.

- Option 4, "botanical," relates to plants, not senses.
