Question

according to hatfield, first you have ____ love, then it matures into ____ love.

a. passionate; intimate

b. companionate; attachment

c. passionate; companionate

d. romantic; caring

Explanation:

According to Hatfield's theory on love, initial love is often passionate (intense, emotional, focused on the other person), and over time it matures into companionate love (based on friendship, mutual respect, and long - term commitment). Option A has an incorrect second term (intimate doesn't fit the maturity of passionate love as per Hatfield). Option B has the wrong order (companionate is not the initial form). Option D's terms (romantic and caring) do not align with Hatfield's specific classification of the stages of love.

Answer:

C. passionate; companionate
