    { 1 } - knowing ideas.
    { 2 } - sensation.
    { 3 } - knowing real things.

    { 1 } - knowing ideas.
    { 2 } - sensation.
    { 3 } - knowing real things.
    { 4 } - understanding.

5 is wrong. Please try again.

In the cave analogy, the activity of seeing shadows of images is a symbol for:

    { 1 } - knowing ideas.
    { 2 } - sensation.
    { 3 } - knowing real things.
    { 4 } - understanding.
    { 5 } - education.

The symbol for education is the prisoner being released, turned towards the light, and led out of the cave to see real things and the sun on which they depend for existence and being visible.
