Ella was excited to leave for college. She became even more excited when she met two girls who very much reminded her of her best friends in high school. Over time, Ella became closer to her college friends than her high school friends. This is likely to do to the principle of:
  1. Attraction
  2. Similarity
  3. Proximity
  4. Reciprocity
Explanation
Answer: C - Ella became closer to her college friends than her high school friends because of proximity.
While Ella believed that her college friends were very similar to her high school friends (and to herself), her relationships with the college friends became stronger because of proximity. All other factors being equal, physical proximity makes it more likely that one will become a friend or intimate partner with someone.
