Answer 5

Usually it means a person with common sense. Someone that can give good sound advice.

Answer 6

Being receptive to other peoples emotions and treating them sensitively.

Answer 7

No obscene words or actions, moderate drinking, eating, partying, computer hours, queueing up in public when others are doing so, etc---there are literally hundreds of ways of talking and doing things that are considered sensible.

Sensibility brings respect, love, appreciation, instant attraction to the opposite s*x.  The opposite brings scoldings, quarrels, fights, violence, serious injuries and deaths(particularly if you are an adult handling a machine or the bottle) .

A sensible person will gain a lot of confidence, happiness and other benefits in life. Funny, the world abhors silliness, stupidity, lack of civility, insensibility and insane acts, esp of people 21yrs and above, when you truly become an adult.
