2 is wrong. Please try again.

In the cave analogy, the shadows of images on the wall are symbols for:

    { 1 } - the fire in the cave.
    { 2 } - ideas.
    { 3 } - immaterial things.
    { 4 } - sensible things.
    { 5 } - knowledge.

The real things outside the cave are the symbols for ideas, since sensible things are copies of ideas, as the shadows of images are copies of real things.

3 is wrong. Please try again.

In the cave analogy, the shadows of images on the wall are symbols for:

    { 1 } - the fire in the cave.
    { 2 } - ideas.
    { 3 } - immaterial things.
    { 4 } - sensible things.
    { 5 } - knowledge.

The shadows of images are symbols of material things, because they are both copies, changing rather than permanent, and many rather than one.

4 is correct!

In the cave analogy, the shadows of images on the wall are symbols for:

    { 1 } - the fire in the cave.
    { 2 } - ideas.
    { 3 } - immaterial things.
    { 4 } - sensible things.
    { 5 } - knowledge.

The shadows of images are symbols of sensible things, because they are both copies, changing rather than permanent, and many rather than one.
