Explanation
The sentence should read: "Man is a gregarious animal, and much more so in his mind than in his body; he may like to go alone for a walk, but he hates to stand alone in his opinions."Here's why:- "Gregarious" means social, fond of company, and living in flocks or communities. This fits the context of the sentence, which describes humans as social creatures who prefer to be with others.- "Opinions" is the correct completion of the sentence, as it contrasts with the idea of physical solitude (going for a walk alone) and highlights the discomfort of being alone in one's thoughts or beliefs.
