Multiple choice

Why are the supersenser’s abilities confusing to normal people?

Directions: Read the passage and answer the question that follows.
 
But every once in a while, Moylan reports to a special lab where the air is pressurised and filtered to eliminate any outside odours. There she uses a very different set of tools: her own nose and tongue.
She is not alone. Men and women around the world are using their unusually heightened senses to detect smells, tastes, sounds and images that many ordinary humans don’t even know are there. There are not many of these extraordinary people about, but they have senses significantly more acute, discerning or powerful than the norm. They are the supersensers.
Whether due to nature or nurture, supersensers are able to smell scents, taste flavours, hear sounds, feel sensations and see details that elude the rest of us. Moylan, for example, has a naturally acute sense of taste and smell that she has enhanced through extensive training.
Special Powers Whatever their origin, heightened senses can enrich experiences, boost careers and even help save lives. But amplified senses can also be distracting, overwhelming and painful, leaving the supersenser longing for a respite from sensory overload. To the rest of us who don’t have such gifts, supersensers’ abilities can be confusing and even downright eerie.

  1. They cannot understand their special abilities and hence find these people strange.

  2. They dislike such people to the point of loathing them.

  3. They are opposed to the idea of the existence of such people.

  4. They like such people and want to befriend them.
