Explanation:

- The passage is about the five traditional human senses. These senses allow us to perceive and interpret the world around us.

- The senses listed in the passage are: sight, hearing, taste, touch, and the missing one which needs to be filled in.

- Option 1: sadness - Sadness is an emotion, not a sense. It doesn't fit the context of the passage.

- Option 2: happiness - Happiness, like sadness, is an emotion. It is not considered one of the five senses.

- Option 3: smell - Smell is one of the traditional five senses, along with sight, hearing, taste, and touch. It fits perfectly in the context of the passage.

- Option 4: anger - Like options 1 and 2, anger is an emotion, not a sense. It does not fit the context of the passage about senses.
