Explanation:

- The passage discusses the perspective novelists often take in writing, suggesting they present stories as if possessing complete understanding.

- Statement 5 inquires about the word that best completes the phrase regarding the subject of the writing, emphasizing the uniqueness of the individual.

- Option 1: "stance" refers to an attitude or position on an issue, which doesn't fit the context of describing a person as a physical entity.

- Option 2: "being" denotes a living creature, perfectly fitting the description of a unique entity of flesh and blood.

- Option 3: "cripple" refers to someone with a disability, which isn't related to the context of physical integrity stated in "flesh and blood."

- Option 4: "organism" is a biological term for a living system, applicable but less personal than "being" in a human context.

- The focus is on the personal and unique nature of the story's subject.

The correct answer is: Option 2: "being"
