IMO C

[spoiler]gravity and weight seem parallel to prosaic and dull....but I'm thinking it can't be that easy[/spoiler]

We need a NOUN after OF

A SENSE OF X and Y (both X and Y should be NOUN).

B - both are ADJECTIVES
C - ADJECTIVE and NOUN
D - NOUN and ADJECTIVE
E- NOUN and gerund (not sure whether WEIGHTING is right word, but for it to act as NOUN, we require THE before WEIGHTING

IMO A
