rationality to make a decision Explanation: Just a suggestion. I need more context to be sure. However, I do not think the word "senses" should be used here as "senses" (感覚) are different from rationality/reason in terms of their functions in human cognitive process. |

one’s senses/reason to make a decision Explanation: Or, “one’s reason to reach (come to/arrive at) a conclusion (to do something)”. This is just my suggestion.
