BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which factor of romantic attraction explains how Madison and Andrew ended up together.
Option 1: physical attractiveness. While attractiveness can influence initial interest, it does not specifically address how their long history of being in the same environment led to them becoming a couple in senior year.
Option 2: intimacy. Intimacy describes the closeness and bond in a relationship, but it is a result of a relationship forming, not a factor that explains how they initially connected.
Option 3: similarity. Similarity refers to shared attitudes, values, or interests that can sustain a relationship, yet it does not capture the timing and opportunity aspect suggested by having grown up together.
Option 4: proximity. Proximity refers to physical or situational closeness, such as attending the same schools and being in the same environment, which increases opportunities to interact and develop a relationship over time. Given they have known each other since kindergarten and were in the same social and geographic context, proximity best explains how their relationship formed.
