not the reality for most young adults who’ve achieved this age.
The share of young adults who could be considered “financially independent” from their parents

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions from 46 to 50.
What is the difference between friendship and love? This question has always been in the minds
of people for centuries. Though a definite answer cannot be given for this question, one can come across
some differences between the two.
When love can be termed as a sacrifice, friendship can be termed as a trust. Love is a feeling that
is uncontrollable, and a feeling which one has for another individual. On the other hand, friendship is
quite different from love in this aspect.
Love is a feeling between two individuals, and most of the time when they say “She/ he is my one
and only” and in this case only two individuals are involved. But there are times people may fall in love
with more than one individual, but it is considered morally wrong when you already have a partner or a
boy/girlfriend. On the contrary, friendship involves more individuals without any guilty feelings
involved. One can have many friends, but most of the time an individual can only have one person to
love. You can love your family and that’s another topic for discussion.
In love, there is great attachment for the other. Most of the time an individual gets strong feeling
of hurt if his loved one is in pain or hurt. This attachment may not be strong in friendship. Regarding the
emotions, individuals in love will experience a faster heartbeat when they meet their loved one. This is
not so when friends meet. There is no way that one will lie awake and think of his friends for a whole
night, but lovers will have sleepless nights, and dream about their lovers. The lovers even sleep and wake
up with the thoughts of his or her lover.
Another difference that can be seen is that in love, some physical element is also involved
between individuals. On the other hand, there is no such physical element involved in friendship.
