"The particular bulk, number, figure, and motion of the parts of fire or snow are really in them, whether anyone's senses perceive them or not; and therefore they may be called real qualities, because they really exist in those bodies. But light, heat, whiteness, or coldness, are no more really in them than sickness or pain is in manna bread." In this passage Locke locates the distinction between primary and secondary qualities in the difference between:
A. qualities of bodies that exist independently of sensation and qualities that rely on sensation.
B. the parts of bodies that we cannot sense and the parts that we can sense.
C. the power to perceive things in our own bodies and the power to perceive things in other bodies.
