Correct Answer: superior
Solution : The correct choice is the third option.
Here, "superior" is the most appropriate choice since it directly indicates that rational thinkers are intellectually better or more advanced than those who unquestioningly follow age-old practices, which aligns with the context of the sentence.
The meanings of the other options are as follows:
- "Cultured" is characterised by refined taste, manners, and good education.
- "Sophisticated" having, revealing, or involving a great deal of worldly experience and knowledge of fashion and culture.
- "Modern" means relating to the present or recent times as opposed to the remote past.
Therefore, the complete sentence is: "Rational thinkers are intellectually superior to those who accept faith without questioning the age-old practices."
