7. suspicious

-Key: B








-Suggested keys:
1. The first quality for true friendship is unselfishness. It tells me / us that a person who is concerned only with his own interests and feelings cannot be a true friend.
2. Changeable and uncertain people are incapable of true friendship because they take up an interest with enthusiasm, they are soon tired of it, and they feel the attraction of some new object.
3. The third quality for true friendship is loyalty. It tells us that two friends must be loyal to each other, and they must know each other so well that there can be no suspicions between them.
4. There must be mutual trust between friends because if not, people cannot feel safe when telling the other their most intimate secrets.
5. Talkative people can’t keep a friend long because they can’t keep a secret, either of their own or others.
6. The last quality for true friendship is sympathy. It tells us that to be a true friend, you must sympathize with your friend. Where there’s no mutual sympathy between friends, there’s no true friendship
