Explanation:

To determine the clue for "sense", we analyze the context. The sentence "Scientists are trying to get a sense of this liquid. They want to know the reason for the red stuff." shows that "know the reason" is related to "get a sense of". So the clue is "They want to know the reason for the red stuff" (or the surrounding context about scientists' goal to understand the liquid's reason).
