Correct Answer: prejudices


Solution : The correct choice to fill in the blanks is the fourth option.

Prejudice means opinions that are not experienced by oneself, are preconceived, and go correctly in the sentence, as the sentence implies that the brain has some opinions that may not be experienced in real life and are against original thought.

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

Ideas refer to thoughts.

Interests refer to "the feeling of knowing or learning about something".

safeguards means to protect from danger with some measures.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The human mind seems to have built-in prejudices against original thought."
