Explanation:

Match definitions a-e to terms

• Definition a ("A person attached to another by feelings of affection or personal regard") matches term 1 (Friend).
• Definition b ("Someone who shows strong support for you") matches term 3 (Loyalty) or describes a loyal person, but looking at the terms, "Loyalty" (3) is the noun for showing support/faithfulness, or "Reliable" (4) is doing what you say. Let's re-evaluate: "Doing what you say you will do" (c) matches 4 (Reliable). "Someone who shows strong support for you" (b) matches 3 (Loyalty) as the closest concept of showing support/allegiance.
• Definition d ("Ability to understand another person's emotions and see from his or her point of view") matches term 10 (Empathy).
• Definition e ("Someone you share your closest or deepest thoughts and secrets with") matches term 8 (Intimate).

Match definitions f-j to terms

• Definition f ("A person who is equal to another in abilities, qualifications, age, background, and social status") matches term 2 (Peer).
• Definition g ("People you have met but do not know well") matches term 5 (Acaintance).
• Definition h ("Someone who shares similar interests and enjoys many of the same activities") matches term 7 (Close) or 6 (Casual) in terms of friendship levels. Let's look at the remaining terms: 6 (Casual), 7 (Close), 9 (Self-Esteem).
• Definition i ("The way you view yourself") matches term 9 (Self-Esteem).
• Definition j ("A person associated in close personal relations or a significant other") matches term 7 (Close) or 8 (Intimate). Let's align:
• 1. Friend -> a
• 2. Peer -> f
• 3. Loyalty -> b
• 4. Reliable -> c
• 5. Acquaintance -> g
• 6. Casual -> h (Casual friend)
• 7. Close -> j (Close friend/relation)
• 8. Intimate -> e
• 9. Self-Esteem -> i
• 10. Empathy -> d
