Question

julies friend amanda takes her sailing, which julie loves. part of the reason julie might like amanda is because of her:

a. utilitarian value.

b. reciprocal liking.

c. sailing expertise.

d. similarity.

Explanation:

Utilitarian value in relationships refers to a person providing access to desired activities or benefits. Amanda takes Julie sailing (an activity Julie loves), so Julie may like Amanda for this utilitarian value. Reciprocal liking is mutual liking, not about providing an activity. Sailing expertise isn't indicated (Amanda takes her, not that she’s an expert). Similarity would be shared traits/likes, but here it's about Amanda enabling a liked activity, not shared similarity.

Answer:

A. utilitarian value.
