Background information：The five senses have traditionally been viewed as distinct yet complementary. Each sense is thought to have its own range of stimuli that are incapable of stimulating the other senses.
Premise： recent research has discovered that some people taste a banana and claim that they are tasting blue, or see a color and say that it has a specific smell.
Conclusion：This shows that such people, called synesthesiacs, have senses that do not respect the usual boundaries between the five recognized senses.
Prephrase：（weaken）exist the 6th sense
(A) Synesthesiacs demonstrate a general,
systematic impairment in their ability to use
and understand words.------------this has no relation with the five senses.---------If the synesthesiacs have a systematic impairment in their use of language it may not be that their senses overlap but rather that they lack the ability to properly express themselves.
(B) Recent evidence strongly suggests that there
are other senses besides sight, touch, smell,
hearing, and taste.-------------correct-------------Not enough information is provided by the answer choice to say what
role, if any, is played by these other senses.
(C) The particular ways in which sensory
experiences overlap in synesthesiacs follow a
definite pattern.-------------irrelevant
(D) The synesthetic phenomenon has been
described in the legends of various cultures.------------irrelevant
(E) Synesthesiacs can be temporarily rid of their
synesthetic experiences by the use of drugs.-----------this just help to explain how to cure Synesthesiacs.
