Correct Answer: gregarious


Solution : The correct choice will be the second option.

It means sociable or inclined to associate with others. It accurately describes the essential nature of humans, who tend to be social beings.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Sentimental: This word describes a person who is emotional and often guided by sentiments or feelings.

Selfish: It means concerned primarily with one's own interests and is the opposite of what is being described in the sentence.

Perverse: It means to show a deliberate and obstinate desire to behave in a way that is unreasonable or unacceptable.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Man is essentially a gregarious animal and tends to associate with others.
