Passage:
Vacationing on a motorcycle, you see things in a way that is completely different from any other. In a car you are always in a compartment, and because you are used to it you do not realise that through that car window everything you see is just more TV. You are a passive observer and it is all moving by you boringly in a frame. On a motorcycle, however, the frame is gone. You are completely in contact with it all. You are in the scene, not just watching it anymore, and the sense of presence is overwhelming.
In the last sentence, the writer talks of a ‘sense of presence’. He is referring to the presence of
- Ahis own self as part of the scene.
- Bthe time that is now passing.
- Cthe scene and the beauty.
- Dsenses with which one feels.
Explanation
The final sentence says 'the sense of presence is overwhelming', immediately after 'You are in the scene, not just watching it anymore'. 'Presence' here means the writer's own felt presence: being physically in the scene rather than observing it from a compartment. It does not refer to passing time, the scenery's beauty, or the bodily senses. Hence option (a) is correct.
