a) sensory occlusion
b) sensory extermination
c) sensory extinguish
d) sensory elimination
e) sensory adaptation

The correct answer is E. Sensory adaptation.

Explanation:

Sensory adaptation refers to the reduction of one's sensitivity to a  stimulus after being constantly exposed to it. The individual tends to have less awareness of the stimulus and this helps him/her to change his/her focus to other things.

In this case, Adrianne's first exposure is strong; the smell is strong and the apartment smelled horrible to her. However, the longer she was exposed to the smell, the more used she got to it and the less she smelled it.

This is an example of sensory adaptation.

the correct answer is individualism and exchange. at this stage, children begin to question the rules, because they can see that there is more than one side to them. different individuals have different viewpoints. they won't be able to reach this stage because of ignorance, a lack of ethics or personal biases. that is because people with that characteristiscs are not able to distinguish what is good or what is bad and they can't pursue their individual interests.
