Questions: A person under is in a trancelike state of heightened susceptibility to the suggestion of others. meditation sleep hypnosis calmness

The answer is: hypnosis.

Explanation for each option:

1. Meditation: Meditation is a practice where an individual uses techniques such as mindfulness or focusing the mind on a particular object, thought, or activity to train attention and awareness, and achieve a mentally clear and emotionally calm and stable state. It does not typically involve a trancelike state of heightened susceptibility to suggestion.

2. Sleep: Sleep is a natural state of rest for the mind and body, characterized by altered consciousness, relatively inhibited sensory activity, and inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles. While sleep involves different stages, including REM and non-REM sleep, it is not characterized by heightened susceptibility to suggestion.

3. Hypnosis: Hypnosis is a trancelike state in which a person has heightened focus and concentration, and is more open to suggestions. This state is often induced by a hypnotist and can be used for various therapeutic purposes, such as pain management or behavior modification.

4. Calmness: Calmness refers to a state of being free from agitation, excitement, or disturbance. While calmness can be a component of hypnosis, it does not inherently involve a trancelike state or heightened susceptibility to suggestion.

Therefore, the correct answer is hypnosis, as it specifically describes a state where a person is more open to the suggestions of others.
