Choose the item among A,B,C or D that best answers the question about the passage :
Having a best friend to confide in can bring a positive effect on our emotional health. An
evening out with the closest friend may be the best guarantee of a good time. In fact, our best
friend can prevent us from developing serious psychological problems such as depression and
anxiety.
Best friendship evolves with time - we cannot go out and pick our best friend. We become
friends with people who share common interests at school or through hobbies, for example.
Best friends have usually known each other for years and stuck together through good and
bad times. If you haven't got one, perhaps you are being too distant from people, or focusing too
much on your work.
