Waleska and Maria have been good friends for a long time. What does this indicate about their relationship?

• A. They get along well.
• B. They despise each other.
• C. They have only just met.
• D. They rarely speak.

Answer: (A)

A long-standing friendship usually means a relationship that is comfortable, trusting, and positive. When two people have been friends for a long time, they typically get along well because they know each other’s habits, enjoy shared experiences, and communicate effectively. This is why the best interpretation is that they get along well. The other descriptions—despising each other, just meeting, or rarely speaking—don’t fit a long-term friendship, as those would conflict with having a steady, positive connection.
