Read the passage carefully and choose the best answers to the questions from questions 28 to 32:

Friendship is a term used to denote co-operative and supportive behaviour between two or more
humans. This article focuses on the notion specific to i n t e r personal relationships. In this sense, the
term connotes a relationship which involves mutual knowledge, esteem and affection. Friends will
welcome each other's company and exhibit loyalty towards each other. Their tastes will usually be
similar and may converge and they will share enjoyable activities. They will also engage in
mutually helping behaviour, such as exchange of advice and the sharing of hardship. A friend is
someone who may often demonstrate reciprocating and reflective behaviours.

Yet, for many, friendship is nothing more than the trust that someone or something will not harm
them. Value that is found in friendships is often the result of a friend demonstrating on a consistent
basis: the tendency to desire what is best for the other, sympathy and empathy, honesty, perhaps in
situations where it may be difficult for others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out
the perceived faults of one's counterpart mutual understanding.

In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association,


although there is a range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations. The study of
friendship is included in sociology, anthropology, philosophy and zoology. Various theories of
friendship have been proposed, among which are social psychology, social exchange theory, equity
theory, relational dialectics and attachment styles.
